What's the plan for the exhaust
Andy ?
-
11.4 ... any exhaust protruding in excess of 2 ½ inches will require shielding.
I'm gonna stick a bit of ply over it {-)

I will book in soon, got twelve days to do so not in any particular rush. I'm also in no particular rush to get it ready, engines running quite nicely and other than needing a change of prop which will happen next Sunday there's nout else to do really, the trim tabs that came with the hull were previously set by the man Syd McGoun himself. So long as I don't break anything all shall be good. Makes a change from the nightmare that was my Cobra 40. Any chance next year I can have a different number, say one with only one character?
The stickers are there to annoy as many as possible, the 3 has obviously worked already (I didn't even put that one on), plus the I Fly With Heliguy, Team Losi and Rc Jet International have already annoyed someone over at RCGroups...

Hi Andy,
I've just received an updated membership list for NOMRA, you don't appear to be on it, if you want a number with just one character you need to join pretty quick mate, Numbers 6, 7, 8, and 9 are still available, your old number 204 is still available as well :-)).

Hi Scoop
No sorry mate I will be slaving over a hot sound mixer desk all weekend. I know where i would like to be. Anyway it leave it open for you to get your 1st win of the year if i'm not there so make the best of it.
The Kingsbury meet, I will be flying the flag for BMPRS. British Model Powerboat Racing Society. at Wicksteed park. Can you get the flyers shorted by then??
So don't worry about me this weekend as i just love working with numptys all weekend who all think they are super stars. As you can tell i am NOT looking forward to the weekend at all.

As Martin says NOMRA has changed it's name, sounded too much like another organisation {-) {-) {-). Several names were voted on by the whole of the membership (at that particular time, as the membership is increasing every day) and BMPRS was chosen, British Model Powerboat Racing Society.
We have just had our second event at Willen, many thanks to all the Willen crew (and our lap scorers Sue, Laura and Ronnie) for putting on an excellent day of racing.
Our next event is at Kingsbury Water Park (Birmingham) on 30th May.
