I replied to your PM last night and sorry I didn't respond in here sooner but I didn't see this. I did read this Thread awhile back and saw that it didn't involve me in anyway and never even looked at any of the new posts that were made after that. I will give "you" an explanation but only because of the respect I have for you and your job Ron and NOT for the sake of Captain what so ever. I'm also a Moderator and know what a thankless job it can be most of the time.
I don't own a Hobby Shop or business nor am I part owner in any RC Boat related businesses. I do build RTR boats on a very small scale for a very few select people when I have the time and they dont mind waiting. It seems like I have been doing less and less recently. I am very close to Andy at AC Model Boats and yes, I do testing for him on occasion with his new products only because he runs at 4000 feet and I run at 900 feet elevation. We are very good friends and I think he builds the best quality and most durable hulls built of all RC Boat Hull Manufacturers. Just look at one of his hulls in person and I am sure you will agree. I am also very close to Matthew at M&D designs Racing, we are very good friends and I wish I was part owner. I also believe that Matthew and his partner Mike build the best quality, most durable, and yes, even the most powerful Modified Zenoah's of all the builders out there.
Not sure what Captains' problem is, but maybe a Cruise and time off would help him
Probably someone I had to Ban in another life.
I dunno, guess I just like the best of the best [:-]
