came out nice foley, well done!

[Instigator]

have you seen the kneeler O/B's the guys are building now??

A friend of mine forwarded a couple of videos of them and they were way cool!

I stay away from the RC stuff cuz I know it would be like crack and not let me go.

Back in the 70's I joined a club and tried to get into it but was when radios were still big bucks which I didn't have. Was right at beginning of my racing days and I did the math and found I could race a "real" kneel down boat cheaper than I could a RC boat :eek:

Did everything I could w/o a radio though. Twin elctric inboards with a control cable going to the boat. A Fuji O/B on a balsa scaled model of a Baja race tunnel. Most fun was taking sheets of metal, putting a curve in the front and mounting an .049 motor to it for the snow/ice :rolleyes:

Talked to Foley this evening, looks like our boy managed some WOOD at the Winter Nationals.
Way to go Tom :thumbsup:

I'm sure we will get the full rundown once he unwinds from 4 days in O-Town away from the wife,
I mean unloads the trailer............
