Hello.

How about having a Blind Steering Competition.
Person with the Tranny is blindfolded, he has an assistant who guides him through the Course.
Should be good for a few laughs - - and other things !!!!.

John.  :-))


A variation would be eyes open but all servo switches reversed (maybe not easy with computer transmitters)

Like both ideas.

You'll find that if you reverse both you can learn to adapt pretty quickly.  Reverse the steering and leave the throttle as normal, then run a tug competition :D

Got it booked in, might give camping a go this year rather than the Holiday Inn. Are BBQs/campfires allowed?

Well Klunk


With the current refurb of the park at the moment the big boating lake behind the model boat lake looks more like a scene from WW1, we could ask them to leave it for the tank boys! :}
Fully agree though, the more more the merrier! :-))
