You know the more you open your mouth...the more you show your true colors. Let's take construction for instance. I work as a foreman for a "General Contractor", I am responsible for the job from start to finish. You are/were a mason. There's a big difference being a mason and general contracting. A mason holds a specialty license and can ONLY do mason work. Unlike a General Contractor, who is unlimited with their building capabilities, a GC does the job from the property being surveyed right down to polishing the door knobs when it is ready to be "CO-ed". I'm in charge of the trades on my jobs. I also know the proper procedure for making "alterations" to a project. So, take your "flapping" and your "guessing" somewhere else.
Lets talk about them videos...you still haven't showed us any! Come on, show us your capabilities and how perfect your boats run.
My videos you are referring to...I still don't see the porpoise. I see a flat bottom airboat running over choppy water. And if you had any full size boating experience, you'll know rough water and airboats are a bad combination. In the vids, I am running on 1.5" chop, my sides are only 2"....so how can you expect the boat to run flat on rough water? (another indicator of your experience).
And FTR - You think because you started this RC bus you are doing AFTER this forum got started ( and NOT by you , I might add ) that now you are some kinda "expert" , think again ....
HAL is the only one that I know of that builds a professional looking and running RC AIRBOAT ... MADE of WOOD ... not foam , like some Toy .
LOL...I started a website because of my passion that I have for the little airboats and I wanted more out the forum and site than what others were offering. My site is totally dedicated to rc airboats, unlike the others which cater to other forms of rc's also....which makes neither site better than the other.
Do some research before you make allegations. I build from wood and foam. And I will take you on with my "toys" anyday. Once again....show us some of your work. I have videos posted all over.
I never stated that I built full size boats. I said that I have a couple of friends that build them for a living which also drag race them. I have grown up around them all my life. I was born and raised on a 750 sq mile lake. So be sure of what you read before you start "flapping".
I don't care if you think my small businees with the airboats is phony......Yes, I do and have sold the little airboats, when my full time jobs allows the time for it. (we have had a few hurricanes down here in the past years which has created alot of work in the construction industry, which hasn't left much time in the past months for my building, when you work 6 days a week to bring home the bread for the family) I'm closing in on 200 boats built and I do have them on 2 continents. Believe it or not.....its a fact.
I have met alot of great friends throughouot the world on the internet since I have been on the net. Those that know me know, know who I am and the passion I have for my hobby. Just because I started a site dedicated entirely to rc airboats doesn't mean that I am any better than anyone else, besides, its the members of the site that make the site what it is, I just have the rights to the domain. I am proud of everyone of them just as much as I am proud to be a member also! Just like I'm proud to be a member here!
With that said...I will no longer waste RCU's or my time and space on you.
