Got bored in the shop the other day. Tossed a cooling cap in the lathe and cut away. Turned out alright.?Last edited by Stoker1; 06-21-2007 at 07:38 AM.

Lance, I was at the hobby shop yesterday and I saw the full size version of your Blackjack. That thing is bad-ass. I had to get out of there before I spent too much money.
By the way, I pulled the old Hornet out of the attic the other night and got it running last night. Put the battery on charge today and gonna see if it holds a charge. (I was at the shop buying a new controller, my old one was dead. )2006 Spectre 24' SCS

I stopped and got all the stuff I need to get the bulkheads and stringers glassed back into my little F1 boat. I need to get her goin since no one else seems to want to bring any outboard power to this party...
I need to order a new radio for it too...maybe next paycheck...

You pack of *** have got me going.

Running them is fun no doubt....
But the new part of the hobby for me now is trying to build my own hardware. Hate to say anything about the word "copy" but for me learing from scratch involves imitation Its been a challenge. The new mill & lathe are getting a workout.Last edited by Stoker1; 06-21-2007 at 07:38 AM.

Even built a new table just for the shop. Just wish there was more time to spend down there.

Al,
I'm very proud of that engine. Like a lot of you guys, my first boat was a K&B outboard tunnel from 20+ years ago. Ran the crap out of them and had a ball but then adult-hood came and had to set the priorites. Cash in hand for a new apartment to move out of Mom & Dads house meant selling off the RC stuff and turning a new leaf in life.
Fast forward to current time and I'm fortunate to have found this engine and have the toys. (though no full scale boat as of yet, its in the works).
Lets get this forum ROCKIN' and I'll turn up some Van Halen.You never know what your faith is, until your faith has been truly tested.
