Bill,

Why the change to a Sikk? I ran my first season on a standard Zen and did OK. Could have done with a bit more power at times though.

Paul said the engine would loose up though so should be better this year?

Cant you get the Zen modded if you want more speed?

I prefer the reliability and ease of set up?

Good Eve Simon. Yes your right. I am 50/50 but I am going to try out the crab and new header pipe which i hope will improve things.
Took my white boat out today. 1st run went very well. 2nd run the dam receiver packed up. Don't know why?? I put another RX in it when I got home and all is well now. Oh well that's how it goes. :(

Hello. I have now got my 257 crab from the USA. Funny how it has only taken a week to get her and parts from Prestwich ordered at the same time Have still not made there way down the country yet. >:(

Anyway dose anyone know what the basic setting are on a 257??? I take it you screw both the needles all the way in and then bring them out X times. Any Help would be greatfully received.
Cheers. Bill.

Hi Pete
The new carb and pipe seem to hve made a big inprovment. I did clock the boat before the changes at 33mph. I cant wait till Sunday to see how much it has gone up by.
Changing the subject. I am running the Stevenage OMRA meet on 4th May. I know that it is in the middle of 3 meets but are any of you Mad Makara boys comming down??

Should be alot of fun im sure. How dose the 18th May @ kingsbury sound to all the Mad Makara Men??? Who is going to see if Kingsbury is available??

AC RAZOR 45 · « **Reply #171 on:** January 18, 2008, 10:34:35 pm »

Bill D203 · « **Reply #172 on:** January 18, 2008, 10:44:29 pm »

To Avoid OMRA, It will have to be 8th or 22nd June. I am free at the mo on either of these dates.

omra85 · « **Reply #173 on:** January 18, 2008, 11:12:48 pm »

Erm, chaps - I know it's a stupid question, but do any of you belong to Kingsbury club to check dates?
They have a lot of other events on the lake apart from OMRA, like scale, sail and multi, plus tethered hydro at the far end.
Might be worth someone getting in touch with one of the club officials.
