Just something I would like Martin to confirm for me. An extract from Wicksteed Park's website, model boat club section

Quote
Finally the Model Boat Club have the occasional use of part of the main 30 acre lake should we wish to stage large national events that are simply to big for the normal lake.

Do you reckon they would allow us to use it for the IC demo? I'm rather concerned about the size of the model boating lake and the fact it has concrete edges in relation to my multi that cannot turn on anything less than half throttle...

Andy

I doubt that the large lake is also a boating lake, also if I remember last year it had a lot of swans on it.

Have a read of http://www.wicksteedpark.co.uk/content.aspx?cid=148

"Finally the Model Boat Club have the occasional use of part of the main 30 acre lake should we wish to stage large national events that are simply to big for the normal lake. They are always pleased to see visitors at Wicksteed Park as it is the countries first theme park.  It also has a large number of free swings, climbing frames  slides etc. so you can bring the family and have all day sailing in peace.  If you would like to bring your club, we can make special arrangements for you."

But it's a long walk to the other side of the lake when you boat conks out!
 You can hire a row boat I guess but I hear there's talk of salvage fees!...... ;)

Here are you trying to take over my place as the worst typer Ghost????????
THE answer Andy Is Simple.
DON'T RUN IT. Save it for Llanberis latter in the year. However If you do get the parky's to allow us to run on the big lake I want to run the Makara. However I don't think they will play ball at all. SO DON'T PEE THEM OFF.

Well from what they have written on their site they are happy to let us use it. Never mind the makara, on that lake you could run the hydro.

With Martin's permission it wouldn't hurt to ask nicely, not all parkies are like ours...

Only problem being that what would we do about rescue?

Andy I don't think you will get away with it, So don't spend much time on the rescue boat plan.  Don't get carried away.

As for the run at llanberis, its a long way tio the bottom of the laje, the large pool isn't probably that deep, also Gemini is small so not meant to be taken FAR off bank.  the Najade is the llanberisd boat
 
I do plan on bringing diwn the Najade as well, but I need a couple of bits forst of mystang mark, incvluding a neqw prop joint to get her running quieter as the motyor is out of line form the shaft.  m5x45mm pin and a m5x25mm pin as well.

as fpr the malkara, the restriction may because its IC.  not electric.

OMRA boat have buoyancy fitted to them. They have too.  This keeps the boat on the surface till the rescue boat can get to the boat and pull it out. There then follows a drying out of the engine and hopfully the radio box stays waterproof  and then you carry on racing. That's how it works.
