I dont think you really need it to be a sticky thread the way you guys are posting in it,it wont slip of the front page anyway

and I wanna see the boat so stick the photo up

there also the blabber thread on here which is just about anything you want really

Thanks Steve,

We debated about just going to the Blabber thread but worried we'd get lost in the ramblings... or should I say our ramblings would get lost in the other ramblings.

I found having four or five different conversations going on at once in the thread too taxing cerebrally. I think things will settle down once the intro's are over again.

Thanks for the welcome Steve!

Has the wind died down for most? Still blowin here.! It has been so blowy for so long... feels like I have not flown for a month!!

machete · Dec 02, 2008, 05:36 PM

I'm wearing a black arm band this week. The red motor melted number 2 and 3 pistons in the eliminations and let us down badlySaturady at Shep was about 85% humidity and obviously the blower was making too much water for the donk to handle. (won't go into the ins and outs but we were suspicious from the dyno run)
Only have an old 07 pic of the ute at the moment and is here at 48secs

Summernats 19 Burnout Competition (3 min 59 sec)

The Red motor is actually a black motor and a fresh one is being machined as I type

Telstra is sorting my adsl.....and I'm on nextG with no where to rack up some pics to view at the moment. (lucky to be on line at all considering who my temporary server is hehehheheee)
I'll post some vid after i get my server sorted.

Might have been a windy day but the ute was flying

before it died

I just went back to RCU and found that they have deleted all the posts that relates to our new location.

In the words of my 3yo
I'M HERE
Just had a look at the old BBQ thread, the fire has gone out. The posts are still there Mong.
I'm Bert ........ I convert perfectly good planes back to kit form
I had a group of friends on RCU, we had common interests like bikes and boats but we weren't allowed to mention them.
The thread is dead. Long live the thread.

Hi Guys,

Ed Anderson (aejar) from RCU has asked for our new home and I've provided the link.

Given that I think he is about to do something nice for us perhaps we could moderate our expression of displeasure on RCU.

Cheers,
Oz.

kx315 · Dec 02, 2008, 06:08 PM

Hi all what a crazy world we live in

will be very interested in RCU's response Oz however I can certainly understand the comments and frustrations of all of the regular BBQ members thats for sure and to plagerize Bert "long live the new thread"

Kx

I've got one of these cheap WiFi Cams that I've updated to a better outfit and was just looking at the old one here on the bench and thinking maybe it needs chopping up and putting in a minimag

......coupled with my lappy by wireless and it should be a good crash

Only weighs in at 110 gms with its case still on .......and is 5vDC.
Stick its sensor/lens on a pair of servos and and I'm suddenly looking for more channels ......maybe the EZs the platform for this one.

pldaniels · Dec 02, 2008, 06:36 PM

Hah, I just realised, now I can spam you guys with my specials / updates *mwhahahaha* (since I've got sponsor status on this place

).

Just kidding, I won't abuse you ... much.

bleary · Dec 02, 2008, 07:29 PM
