Jackie, ever hear of Luna Hobby? I know absolutely nothing about them. They seem to have these propellers and more... You will have to research them.
Those are the things Fuji--------little whizzers that fit on the end of the leg------right under the car plate.
Ive been done and gone a lot of research on these little buggers, oh yes, they're in plentiful supply, in almost any size. Problem is, you need to be in gainful employment earning big bags of gold at the end of the shift, OR, Rich parents, Win the lottery. Jump on the social bandwagon---------or go to the local car boot sale / flea market and hope you come across a sack of old props that some old model boatbuilders wife has just thrown out because the old boy turned his toes up. Remember the old adage---NO SUCH THING AS A FREE MEAL----------same thing with titchy props, if you do a quad installation that requires four props---------be prepared to pay a hundred bucks ! ( unless you go plastic)
Never seen such an awesome display of R/C props anywhere Fuji------why show just one picture of props when you can show seven collections--------no doubt about it FUJIMO--------you are the main man.
Jackie..Did you get my E-Mail re..the photo on the other thread?
Jackie..Did Dick Scammell get in touch with you?..I did pass on your details.
Phill.
Did a cursory glance through fujimo's phoggies--------saw a picture of the old scimitar I bought in a hurry from Sandra Hook , just because I was pissed at Bill Brown.Quote:

No Phill, Dick never got in touch
Apologies Jackie I gave you duff gen on that posting number...it should have been Page 432/Post 6470
No Phill--------Dick Is in the boat -------Renato and Angelo far right-------Luigi holding boat------does look a bit like Rossi sat down.Quote:

Have to laugh to myself------xskid1 was asking what the date was for the OFF November meeting? To us oldies, exact dates don't matter any more-----kids still run to school ---------me, I always ran Away from school? Rich or Stavros---------put the lad out of his misery and publish the OFF date.
Hey Pilgrim, so the Kiwis won the Americas Cup-------has to be a great boat, and a great team to pull that off. Congratulations to one and all------well done------don't they get the rights to call the shots as to where they will defend the title ?
Apparently there are 600 high rise apartment blocks in the UK-------all require sprinklers and cladding---------but like "Yesterday".
Lots of speculation, but no official death toll after the tower block inferno------ information is scarce-----I can't make out the problem here, but I still say it could bring down the government!
France and Germany are crowing, how they will make England pay dearly for the Brexit--------seems a hell of a long time since we bailed out both countries in the forties, ( for the second time ). Memories are short it seems.
I read it somewhere that France resorted to a "Revolution" in the 1700/s and brought in "Madame Guilotine " to settle the score-----so much for Equality------Liberty-------Fraternity .
All we ever wanted was our freedom, to make our own laws and decide how many immigrants we should house. To deport criminals as we see fit, without Brussels telling us IF we could.
We may have won the Second World War--------but we sure as hell never won the peace.
Rained most of the night--------lawns are looking green instead of like burnt hay-------sweet peas have been fragrant but with short stems--------all the weak and tiny apples fell off the tree.
Birds have just raised the second brood of chicks and we're well past midsummer.
Its Thursday tomorrow and another damn car boot sale.
Spent all morning doing the Arnesons--------and the trim tabs-------by noon my back was giving me grief so I called enough!
Kitchen goddess asked me to go into "Chi" with her, been a while since we went out together, quite enjoyed it really. Maybe there is life outside the workshop.
Got a text on Facebook from Bob Reynolds, boss man of "The Ospreys" power boatings rescue team------apparently they're holding a 50th anniversary dinner at the Belfry, one of this country's premier golf clubs, sometime in August-------I'll think about it, see where we're at in August.
Its Ivan's Go4it golf tournament on Friday, promised I'd take part in it. Usually it raise a huge chunk of cash which is used to buy various cancer fighting machines-----cant believe it's another year on since the last one.
Down comes the rain again------will need webbed feet or flippers if this carries on, told you Mother Nature has this habit of balancing things up!
Yep, master display, they had a better boat and sailed it better.Quote:

Yes the winner makes the rules subject to the NY yacht club taking them to court which i think wont happen this time.
Race will be in Auckland
Boat type yet to be announnced.
The first challenger is some club in sicily but its luna rossa/ prada guy.
Winner and challenger have to agree the new rules but for sure this has been discussed for months prior just in case.
Been watching the news, are there any brits living in those towers?
I think the ozzies have some temporary houses in PNG, tropical paradise...
I still think the uk wont be paying anything.
N ireland will become rich as the new trading frontier if no single market access and just truck it over the border.
Close the fishing grounds, fishing booms and helps pay the farm subsidy.
Uk far better off in year or so.
Then the eu will invent a new status to allow non eu country to have access and beg the uk to join it so the germans can sell cars to the uk
Some things you got right Pilgrim------if there was a Brit living in the towers, then I never saw him, her or it !. Aussies used to buy up all the big town houses in EARLS COURT in the sixties------ Nobody wanted to live in Fulham or Earl's Court anyway was the pimple on the arsehole of London!Quote:

Make no mistake, the uk will be paying something as that would be a first. All the European Commune thinks the EU is a cash cow to be milked until it drops dead !
Northern Ireland always hunts with the hounds and runs with the hare--------left hand never knows what the rights doing, and if the lips are moving----------you get the idea ? A trading frontier ? Your having a laugh Pilgrim-------the Irish don't trade------they spend------everything! Only country to make Greece look like a spendthrift Scotsman !
Last year they moved up from abacus beads to a calculator--------not ready for computers this decade.
Left to they're own devices the Irish will be at each other's throats in no time flat and blame it on the brits.
If we close the fishing grounds the world will scream FOUL and call on the UN for sanctions.
My opinion on subsidised farming is ---------do it like they do in New Zealand, make it pay or bugger off.
Unfortuately we don't have a car industry any more, we sold the goose------China, ( MG ) India, (Land Rover. Jaguar) Germany ( Rolls Royce, Bentley Cosworth) -------we should have done a Malaysia, 100 percent import duty!
Dont doubt for a minute things will get better------no way can the world get along without the English------by the way Pilgrim--------who was skipper of the New Zealand boat ? Just asking !
An Aussie Phil Rudder invented the wing sail so only right the Kiwi and Oracle boats had Aussies trimming them, its in the list of aussie inventions along with Vegemite and a few others
What the hell is "Vegemite"?
Believe me you do not want to know--------it's crap in a jar, and the damn fools spread it on bread and baked potatoes and then yell "LARVALEY" !Quote:

Seebold is your man Roger-----if he hasn't got it, he knows a man who has !Quote:

Timmy also has a lot of toys, you could try him too.
Leo over in holland always had a ton of parts!
Thanks for The tip, which Seebold are we talking about? Do you have an email or a phone number for him?thanks for any help, Chris
Chris, when you talk about "Seebold" it's always the PATRIARCH------the oldest, the old man, the cranky one, the wannabe golfer, mr grumpy arse himself ! Billy , Mr Bill!Quote:

To be known as "SEEBOLD" you have to earn that right, it's kinda passed down from generation to generation-------it commands respect and admiration in the world of powerboating, it was earned the hard way, just ask anyone who knows him. There are very few like him today.
i count myself very fortunate to be able to call all the Seebold's my friends, Bill, Lynne, Michael and Lori, Timmy, Little Billy and even Grandpa Seebold back in the day.
hes not hard to find---------lives in Fenton Missouri in the summer--------Naples Florida in the winter.
Yes, I do have his email, and his phone numbers, but I don't give them out. If you want to find him , you have to go to any of the F1 races stateside -------he's still a race boat fruit and nut case.
Bernies kid Petra is getting a divorce, ( as you do these days )----difference here is a little matter of the £500,000,000 her ex is wanting to share--------told ya Bernie, you only reap what ya sow !
Surprised Bernie hasn't brought in the big guns (colloquially speaking of course)------- Russky and Eytie mafia must be chomping at the bit to do the old boy a favour. Am led to understand ex husband is not in the rudest of health ? What's the betting he's about to get a whole lot sicker ?
Over 80 dead now with 23 families unaccounted for after the tower block fire. Will probably be another year before the final death toll is known-------there are no official lists of who actually lived there. Could have been five, ten or fifteen people in each apartment---------could be why everyone is keeping "schtum"
Craig and family are heading out to Sarasota today--------just hoped they managed to iron out some of the bugs they've been experiencing with this particular boat.
Daughter Kim took me downto the Chichester Yacht Club for lunch-------twice in two weeks, getting spoiled rotten lately.
Should have Marks concept ready to ship next week John-----decided to do Ron a fresh effort,when it's ready I'll send it to you for finishing-------it'll be a Schubert/Wilson effort -------should light up his face a little.
Suppose I could squeeze a Scotti/Rotory for Jimbo at a push, though he may not collect junk -------ask him next time you talk to him.!
I got to play in Ivan's memorial golf game tomorrow------I'm paired up with Ivan's sister Katherine.
Havent picked up a club since the old farts tourney last November.
I figure I've only got so many golf shots left in me--------so why waist them just practicing------will certainly give it my best shot.
Away for the next three days, so the workshops dormant for a while. Life goes on , the wheels keep turning, nothing stays the same. Takes me longer to get out of the car than it ever did, my whole body seems to be slowing down--------back aches if I pick up an empty paper bag these days, but the Quasimodo stoop has gone !
Just fifteen months ago I bought an HP Envy Wi Fi printer-------last week it puked. Course, naturally it's out of warranty--------bite the bullet------down to Office Supplies and dish out another £60 for a replacement. It's true what they say -------we live in a throwaway society and the chuck away times are getting shorter. Some days you eat b-----------and get screwed.

Its its what I've been cobbling together for Marks desktop!
Roger the Bendix manifold is older than the 6 carb and was reserved for factory team motors only.Quote:

Seem to remember a guy called Alex who was always coming up with fancy six carb configurations. Mark was racing with Billy at that time ( early seventies ) I always thought he was a dentist -------met him in St Louis a couple of times.
Doc Morgan was another who was always goofing with carburettor systems--------I was never that impressed with the outcome.
Rich, wasn't there another "Doctor" ?---------Blair ? Believe he was at Dublin university---------maybe a two cycle expert !
Well, today's the day I get to swing a golf club again, just hope the back and the shoulder stand up to it. Got a two hour drive op to Hertfordshire---------breakfast at eleven-------Gun fires at one o'clock.
Big eats and presentations at eight------going to be a long day.
Sometimes I ask myself why the hell did I let myself get talked into this-------must be the mad fits of depression I keep falling into---------any normal right thinking person would stay home, spend the morning in the shop, have lunch followed by an hours nap then play catchup on the laptop. Suppose I lead quite a boring existence really--------but it suits me, and let's me grow old gracefully but kicking.
Yep Alex is still a dentist (i think) and his engines are still winning F1
Dr Gordan Blair passed away a couple of years back
So with Alex developing the motors and Leo keeping them running and setting them up------it's small wonder Timmy managed to squeeze out the odd win or two here and there---------all that in spite of Billy's " Assistance" !
Just remembered something Pilgrim-------didn't Anderson used to do Timmy's motors ?
Not sure A few of the others would knowQuote:

Awesome John-------is that the first Schubert/Wilson concept ?
Other then the 2 you made for me & I detailed with rigging, yes it is.
Holy Cow!!! Nice collaboration! Got to go rob the piggy bank for this one!Quote:

Boat looked good and handled well.
He managed three wins out of three starts yesterday in Sarasota, aided and abbeted by sister Kate and ramrodded by Mark. Nicely done boys and girl!
Not to worry Roger--------the next ones free------compliments of Schubert/Wilson !Quote:
