Hey all, We are going to have a battle on the 14-15 Aug weekend. Let me know which day is best and we will pick a day based on that, We are planning to use the Grove, if it isn't full. J
Curt has a crap load of pictures (5000) and videos from his gopro camera on the Bismark. I was a perfect 6 for 6. 6 fleet battles. Sunk 6 times using both Tennessee and the PE.
Alright, we are going to go out on Sunday Aug 15th. This is an important battle because it is going to be Steve Crane's last battle here in Nova Scotia, at least for a couple of years. He is moving out of the country, hell off the continent!! and will be gone for a minimum of two years. Come on out and have some fun, See you there, J
I've been out of the province nearly every weekend since early June due to raising the cottage 5', associated landscaping and repairs/renovations. Last weekend was spent installing new windows - I didn't even have time for a swim. I'm away again on the 15th so will miss Steve's last battle of the year. Best wishes to you Steve! By the time you return HMS Valiant will be waiting to avange Nagato's sinking of HMS Minotaur. Bob
Wish I could be there for that. Too bad the Car losing the motor put the Kibosh on our 2nd wk of vacation. Was looking forward to seeing you guys and doing some battling. Jay the pics are being sorted and edited to seperate folders and broken down further into the best pictures to post. It is taking time and will be a while yet before they can be posted. There are some pics already posted on IRCWCC.ORG site and on the their site through YahooGroups.com. They also have a link on for Facebook. Scores are posted as well on the site so you can see how Paul and I did. We both missed 1 day of battling due to being in NY. We missed out on night battle also. I had a great time talking to send him my best regards.
Batteries - charged boat - rebuilt radio - new guns - loaded and tested swim trunks - on standby bring on the 15th and let it rain bbs Jay is there anything we need at the lake? I have rope and signs made up as well as a table i can spare. If you can think of anything call me.
Hi John, welcome back from the rock. It sounds like you are trying to say you want to battle. The rope and signs would be good for sure, if you want to bring the table, then bring it. The worst that would happen is it sits in the truck. Cameras, we need cameras. J
Bob: I am using Lutzow. After the first battle with it, it was found to be to wide at the centre and there were a few other problems with servos and the water tight box. Striped the ship to the bare hull and with the new deck, and all water proof traxis servos she is good to go. I will also have the carrier there for use.
The drag shafts are installed but no drag disks yet. I am waiting until I get some new props. I wired the pumped to run once the batteries are connected. Holes are patched. The co2 system was pressurized with no leaks.
