This isn't going to go away, and if someone wants to come to the Alamo Classic and protest my paintjob then what can you say? Have at it. This is not...
It's the nature of the beast. The folks who race slot cars in many different classes have the same sorts of issues, the same sorts of online discussions. ...
Mark, IMHO, this is not a rookie question, but one of math. Pure and simple. Here are the variables; 1) radius of the actual arm that is attached to the servo....
Hi Larry, I humbly take exception to your stand and attitude on the deck issue. I don't think we have ever met but I've heard you build a nice boat. That said,...
I.m finishing a Vic and am pesuaded that placing a drain in the bow is a good idea. My question: Exactly where do you drill it? Thanks in advance for the...
Re: Full Sail Throw (Main & Jib) Perpendicular To Hull Thanks much for bringing up this question and the responses given. This was one of the first problems I...
I'm not sure the logic in drilling a hole in the deck at the bow for a drain plug. I know many have done it, but my bow is frequently plowing troughs in the...

Your ressponse - the only one so far - makes a lot of sense to me. I've submarined often enough in my first Vic to wonder what might occur with a loose or...
Jim, I have put my drain hole on the stern of the boat above the water line. It seems to be working fine so far. It gets most of the water out. Just a thought...
Jim - If you are wondering what to use for the plug there are several things available. What I use is the plug that went into the jib boom. It comes with the...
Jim: I am one of those who has my drain hole in the bow of the boat like Hew is mentioning. I will explain my logic. All of your electronics are located at...
Hi Mike. I have had several e-mails on this to me and working on a hopefully good remedy that I will pass along to all when complete. I have set up a kind of...

Mark, weather the drain plug in the bow or stern doens't really matter....When the boat sits in the water, presumably level, the water is right under the...

I made te mistake of sailing one day in very light air, without the hatch cover. Everything was fine until a wind line rolled in. I was trying to get in, but...
Thanks for the heads up. I have moved that radio to a new Footy, and replaced it with a DX6. I'll watch for oxidation and "black wire" syndrome. ... [Non-text...
The "black wire syndrome" will occur in salt water rather than fresh, even brackish the oxidation may not be visible, just a darker color. Kind of a grey...
I have been using a dielectric grease on all of my plug connections, and even a thin coat around the hatch cover. I know it helps keep water out of the hull by...
I just uploaded two files, putting them into a folder named Sheet Geometry, that calculate sail boom angle versus servo arm rotation. I wrote both, so am...
