Sumertime11, welcome to RCU. I live in Center City.
The Twin Cities club's pond is 3 mi south of the Mall of America off Hwy 77 & 13 (it's a solid hr drive). But we do have a race coming up in Isanti during the county fair.
There are many dealers that carry Hughey shafts with the stub shaft already connected;but one guy that is great, cheap & knowledgeable is Gary Preusse at 630.279.2451. He also carries raw and S&B props. Mark Sholund at
www.props4u.com is another source.
