Don't hold your breath on that one buddy!

As an OT, how ya doin'? Wasn't your back messed up? You're in joplin also, that city is trashed after the tornado hit. I talked to Lynn Cooper the day after and he's just outside of Joplin but missed the bullet.

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk

Nuthin major, Yet anyhow :D

Hey Ron,

Gene

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

KEWL!
According to my tracking, USPS should have my parts here tomorrow,
Might get sumpin done this weekend :D

Hey I saw Mark tha OBnut logged in early'r, He still active in boating?
Gene

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

He is when he can. Mark lost his job with IBM then had ot move. He still pops in here once in a while but I don't know how active he is. He used to make a couple of trips up here a year to visit relatives in Grand Rapids and would bring us up fuel from Wildcat.

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

Yea shocked me when IBM sold the Thinkpad laptop div. to Lenovo,
I had a good one, Liked tha features too, Now there a tad pricey!!!
Gene

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

What cha think bout tha Nova 35 plus?
All tha talk at the other forum,
Gene

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

I have one but only fired it up once and it still hasn't seen water, that was a year ago. It's probably the best bang for the buck right now in .21 nitro motors. Those CMB's are works of art but they've got a Picasso price tag on them too! I've only got a dogs playing cards on black velvet budget.
I almost typed that with a straight face...... :D

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

10/4 on tha prices!
Gonna try a pic post here, Changed the cowl on my VS1 to a TS3.....
Cool it worked, Tower was going limited quan. on white so I grabed one.
Gene

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

Pic 2 testing testing 123........
The insperation for tha cowl change :D

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

The VS-1 canopy is an obvious rip-off of the Dumas with just enough changes to legally make it theirs. The TS-3 JD got from I believe the Rinker Boats F-1 so although it's a Grimmie design it still has a little JD influence in it.

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

Hey Ron,
Yea I never really liked tha stock cowl, Dont know... Reminds me of my uncles nose er something LOL!

Ok all you other tunnel guy's lets see some pics,
I know ya got some .......
Gene

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

Hey Rodney,
Well Done! Always good to see something in wood. ;)
Thanks for posting tha pics, The sponson profile is really different on that one.
Gene


Keep them comming guy's!

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

It is abit different isnt it? Bill Britton (Im sure you know him from IW) is the builder/designer of the boat. A little bit different principle then most, but it seems to work very well. No stumble blocks needed, and it just lays down and rockets around the corners. He no longer makes them, I think there is something like 9 of them in existance, and I have number 9http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...wink_smile.gif

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

Nice score Dude!
Hey it was fun talking with you and Tim in tha chat at IW,
Tim is a walking encycloepdia of engine knowledge,
Handy to have him around :D
Gene

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

Yes, Tim is great.  I try and get him in there every chance I get.  Usually a daily PM back and fourth at minimum.  He is a very very good dude.  Helped me out alot in the past.  I need to ship him a sport 20 to test engines in, and help me out with button design, etc.

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

Anyone else........ Pics and Vids!

Added note:
Anyone running the new Ver. 2 OSXM Like to hear from ya also......
A bit pricey and wanted to know if ya thought it was worth it.
Gene ;)

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

I hear you on the vII price. Too bad... I like the idea of an aircooled outboard. The engine is never in a cowl and the lower unit acts as a big heat sink, so the cooling head is really not needed.

From what I have read on Intlwaters, it is worth it if you want the fastest engine for the stock class.

RE: 21 Tunnel Talk
 

Yep I like the A/C idea too,
Im toy'n round with getting a buggy head from a RG and doin some experiments,
Found one that has a seperate button, stocker is one piece.
