Some MPBA scale type chaps can help there, I think Dave Abbott (no relation) and Ken Gould are coming along so they will know ( I will e-mail them )
 As for straight running----some sticks in the water (we are a simple lot) ok2

As I am only there on Saturday dose anyone have space under cover for my Makara / Hydro/ Gas springer ? They will all be very happy on the floor so no table space needed.   I seem to remember Stav did offer me some coverd space. Happy to share rent  gas water and electric bill  {-) {-)

Re: Wicksteed - Boats & Frequency?

Hi,

I hope to bringing my computer controlled flash steam test boat on its first public launch. It is 5 foot long and displaces 32kg and has a 4.5inch prop.

Its only a test boat so you must promise not to laugh (too much!). It is steerable and can go backwards - well it does in the test tank.

Phil has seen the video, but he hasn't bought the T-shirt yet.

I'm just in the throws of tuning the beast (I must think of name for it - dare I ask any suggestions?).

Frequencies:- choice of 40.775, 40.815, 40.835 and 40.945.
