I don't know about showing Neil that clip. He might try to "build" one himself the same way. Is there enough duct tape in upstate NY for that kind of project?

The only problem with this pic is that we are missing CINDY! We need to figure out that 'picture timer' thing on the camera so Cindy can join us in the group. Great time with my fellow boaters!! One of my best days of 'fishing' ever!! RC

Looks like an old .40 OS Airplane engine with a cool clamp. RC

More posting?? How about you try reading the make and model off that fossil you dug out of the ground! (Maybe it was only a pic you found, eh?)! What are you working on this winter?I just finished the major ding repairs and fitting up some new cowls on my Stryker Gas Cat, It is now in the hands of a body shop that will paint the upper half and the two cowls. I hope I can find all the hardware I took off two years ago as well as any parts I pirated of the CC motor I have been using in it. It should be ready to go in May to keep Charlie, Sue, and Scott honest!! RC

With the Stryker off the bench I brought out my 1/8th scale AM Miller American to 'think about' fininshing. It is all ready done as far as hardware and engine. I have to do a Miller paint scheme and decals. I spent about an hour on the net reading build post details on the painting and finishing. It would not take much for me to put it back on the shelf. Finishing one of the hulls is DAUNTING!!! RC

Man up and just do it!! Gas boats are cool, but help us keep nitro alive in D1!

Craig, I already took it off the bench to work on a customer's 1/4th scale Indy Car!!...But I did not move it too far. I planned out the wing brace assembly and will buy some of the components tomorrow at Dan's. I should have it it primer by the end of January. RC

1/4 scale indy car!? Where are those raced?

I'm very thankful that Matt S. is racing nitro. We lost Rick P. to gas very quickly, but he flies gas planes so I'm not surprised at all. Those gas planes are huge! Makes gas boats look small.
