All understood However i don't understand rule 11. which talks about rule 9 which means no running around the lake side. ??

[Hellboy Paul]

Having carefully studied the rules I take it we can run round the lake as long as we are on 2.4ghz....

Paul.

Thats what got me thinking. Anyway the avarage age group at Mayham may not be able to run very fast

Ian-mccaffrey has sent me a couple of rules he ask that people follow during the set up of his display and during it

If you want to use any 40MHz equipment 15 minutes before the display starts you need to check with Ian first before doing so. We will post the time of the display on the day
Any boats in the water must be 5 metres away from the display craft
If you wish to have your warships in the water for effect during the display, again it must be 5 metres away from the display craft (the display model is a Bismark)
10 minutes before the display starts Ian will fire a maroon, 5 minutes before the display starts Ian will fire 2 maroons
There will be tannoy announcements during the day reminding you of the display

Thank you for thinking of my boat. Yes I can as slow IC boats can be run, however they have to be check over by me and fit to be run at a public display such as Mayham is.


However It takes up lots of room in my car so IF you would like to see Mable Alice at Mayham let me know. (VOTE NOW)  I have a tamar and a canal boat i need to fit in my car + camping kit and gennys to bring with me.

[Netleyned]
