Thanks Tony,

Well i can proudly say that not only did i turn my boat over, but my claim to fame is.......................................

I SUNK THE RESCUE BOAT AS WELL

So there i am sat in the middle of the lake up to my you know what in a sunk boat wondering what to do, stepped out of the sunken boat and it was about 4 foot deep!

Spent the rest of the day trying to dry out, waterproof boots are great, but keep the water on the outside. :'(

And did i get a medal, well only PLONKER of the day.

I am sure the pictures will turn up!

Dang! I would have liked to have seen that Simon

I hope Scoop got the pics - the World (wide web) is waiting ........

You seem to have recovered now

It's a fairly exclusive club - sinking the rescue boat FROM THE INSIDE. I hope you haven't been disqualified from rescue duties for the rest of the season ::)

Make sure you have your lifejacket on at Torquay - it's a bit deeper than 4ft I believe

One up on you Danny. At least Simon did something worth mentioning.
By the way, see you're not in Model Boats again.

No Richard - it's a quiet life for me now. I've had my 15 minutes, I'll leave it up to these youngsters to have all the fun (insert lemon in wheelchair Smiley here).
Oh yes, Simon's going to be famous for sure

Danny

2772e · « **Reply #511 on:** March 17, 2008, 07:02:58 pm »

Tony came first and then a couple of local lads.

Your chances for the championship are safe!

Sorry i did not phone/text. Had kinda a quiet journey home without the phone, and today! New one ordered will be here tomorrow.

Bernard phoned me last night and he is sending me the only picture. Ha Ha.

What would you like to start the bidding at?

Bill, real problems with glitching? Changed engines, plugs, receivers, any ideas. Do crystals go off?

Nice one Simon.
Have you tryed your spark plug? Changing mine sloved all my radio probs. Im useing a NGK CR8HIX Iridium plug. I did not change the plug that came with the Sikk engine and that seems to work without upsetting the radio. Before you think about a 2.4 set read model boats mag. There is a model shop in Hitchin who is doing a Spectrum set for £100.

2772e · « **Reply #513 on:** March 17, 2008, 07:19:20 pm »

Changed the plugs.

Thought i had got it sorted testing at Brentwood on Saturday, come race day the problem is back?

Bill D203 · « **Reply #514 on:** March 17, 2008, 07:27:47 pm »

Pass Simon. I take it you have chaged the RX ? How are the cables on your battery pack. The old black wire cause all shorts of probs. All of which I am sure you have looked at .

2772e · « **Reply #515 on:** March 17, 2008, 07:33:29 pm »

I am going to relook at the aeriel set up.

Change the crystals

And if all else fails i will borrow Martin's 2.4 and see what happens.

Going to try out a new lake in SWF Friday weather permitting? Are you coming out to play?

Bill D203 · « **Reply #516 on:** March 17, 2008, 07:41:15 pm »

Not sure where you mean Simon. Anyway I have got to get on with the painting. Her indoors wants it doing. I hopfully will be let out on Sunday.

2772e · « **Reply #517 on:** March 17, 2008, 07:43:39 pm »

I will be over at my parents Sunday, Brookmans Park. Want to meet up?

Bill D203 · « **Reply #518 on:** March 17, 2008, 07:49:34 pm »

Friday May just be on. She is now saying as long as I get stuck into during the week nights I shoul be OK. email me where and when.

::)

Blagmeister · « **Reply #521 on:** March 17, 2008, 10:01:00 pm »

YES!!!!

Hope your strides have dried out by now Simon!

Having spent years messing about in big boats, I can say that boating without getting a wet bum, isn't really boating at all! Nice to see you still keeping up the tradition!

[Disappointed not to get down to Eastbourne at the weekend to meet you all, but looking forward to the next opportunity, hopefully with a fully sorted boat!].

Best regards

Phil
