Guys
Whats the motor of choice for the 12 gigger?
Thanks T&C

Otherwise, look at some of the .12 and .18 car engines. Bob has a .18 side exhaust engine that runs very well. Some of these engines will cost under $100.
At this time, the rear exhaust .18 engines are not legal according to the Elmira supplimental rules.

RE: Central NEW YORK boaters
I couldn't pass up another chance to get a run in at Stony Pond!! The water was down about a foot and a half, but there was still enough clear water on the South end to do some testing. I tried out my new TS3 tunnel with my OS OB off the VS1...but with a pipe added. It looks pretty promising and was showing quite a bit of speed. However after the boat showed some odd handling, darting to the right and left...almost like signal loss, I decided to park it. I will check out the radio components and make sure there aren't any metal to metal issues. The funny thing is that Craig experienced almost the same issue with his Vision Craft after he added the pipe to his OS. Anyone have any thoughts on using a pipe on an OS OB??? Just so I could end the day (and maybe the season!!) on an absolute up note, I fired up the .21 Seaducer and ran a tank out to finish the day. It ran great and really hustles through the corners.
We should try getting together for dinner some nite over the winter to do some bench racing. We could even drift a little East so it wouldn't be too far for Neil and Joe... maybe near Geneva. Comments welcomed!!!
Thanks again to Craig for providing us with a great place to run. It can only be better with the work to widen the pond that is planned along with the timing traps. Roger C.

I got the time Roger. We cooked a turkey on the grill yesterday. Still mild outside. I do have a hull ready to test. I may take it to a little lake in Fulton. One of the .67 CMB is rebuilt. I plan to have 2 engine ready for each .67 hull. Next year. Randall is voter out and Luc is in. He called me last night. With some new ideals to talk about. Change is good sometimes.

RE: Central NEW YORK boaters
I dislike the distortion of the rules to attempt or achieve an advantage that is clearly not in keeping with concept of the class. Ultimately the 'rules' have to be more definitive on what that concept is because it is the nature of a racer to try challenging the rules. From the thread dialog I think NAMBA is a much closer to maintaining the outboard concept by linking the class to the appearance of full size OPC tunnels. I guess the 'rules' could eliminate the issue by defining a distance or percent of hull length that the engine pivot point can be forward of the rear edge of the sponsons and/or that the the rudder and propellor shaft must be part of the lower unit, can only be offset by 'X' amount, and must articulate and move in equal amounts of travel. Just like there are 'pickle fork' measurements and hull design rules for sport hydros there could be an transom position rule for Tunnels. My 2 cents. Roger

Neil, not sure why John made his drive line so long. He could have made it an inch or so shorter, but he must have a reason.

RE: Central NEW YORK boaters
for weight distribution/balance. that & a straighter flexshaft. i have seen this boat in charleston at the WTC & talked to john about it. runs ok, but not any better than a "normal" ob. i agree, the tunnel classes should retain a scale appearance. thinking outside the box should be encouraged, not discouraged - but not at the expense of the original intent of having an OUTBOARD class.........

It's interesting that IMPBA rules allow you to fix a O/B engine solid and run a rudder on O/B riggers. Apparantely, O/B riggers could make up their own class back in the day.

RE: Central NEW YORK boaters
no craig, i'm gonna stay with a traditional ob setup. i will use a rek lower for weight savings. i still haven't decided about locking down the engine/lower & steering with a separate rudder. i will prolly try both setups & unless the separate rudder show obvious gains, i will stick with turning the ob. even though it's allowed by impba, somehow locking the engine down & using a separate rudder just isn't an outboard, as i know them

RE: Central NEW YORK boaters
Craig, When I first got into RC boats, the Rochester club had a 'fleet' of outboard riggers. I never saw a fixed rudder, but they usually chopped about four inches off the tub of an inboard rigger and moved the transom well forward of the rear sponson backs. The other trick was that the skeg was cut off and a ss 'rudder/skeg' was bolted to the cav plate to achieve right 'offset' outside the prop wash. I think Prather even made those for their Piranah riggers and tunnels. RC

I was out of diapers in 1973. So when did you start rc boating? You guys will be back in diapers soon.
