RE: St. Louis area boaters
Two choices, Unger Lake or Frank Holten State Park in East St. Louis, IL. I have not heard anybody using Unger Lake, but as far as I know it is the only lake in the St. Louis county where RC boats are allowed. Holten used to be utilized by a club called St. Louis Thunderboaters. The club's website is down or moved. It feels that this hobby is dead in St. Louis but I might be wrong.
John, I can bring my AquaCraft Super Vee 27, I don't have nitro.
