    Who's the optimist? :D

    That was quick, Flunked.

    OK
    Seeing as the name Flunked put up.
    How about this to kick off the conversation:

    and this:
    rms_littorio_sink_s0101_pic02.jpg

    These are pictures taken from this website:
    http://www.ausbg.org/index.html

    Where they make model ships WITH REAL GUNS INSIDE.
    Then they take them to the lake and shoot the hell out of each other !

    I think it's incredibly cool.

    there used to be an American Club called Midwest Naval Combat of something similar.
    There were videos of their Naval battles - but I can't locate it.

    The idea was a beginner could only make freighters !
    You had to be in the club for a period or get sunk a number of times before you were allowed to make a first gunboat and "send it back".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,763 ✭✭✭g5hn710m4xpdwy


    I'm sorry but now we have to make a club for boats modded with paint ball gins, and we can uhh buy a lake and if some one like gets bored and some how "accedentily" shoots you and wont stop :) its your fault

    OK i took out all the elctronics on the my buggy, cleaned everything i could find and am charging the bats and putting back to gether.
    Ok so i havnt worked up the courage to take out the engine and everything else that moves at high speeds XD it is cleaner.
    I streghtned up the new tank i got with some "plastic cement" and am filing it down to fit just right.
    Then when everthing is chagred and put togeghter i will be bringing it to green hobby to get a new servo i think
    and...
    see if i can get it tuned with me there so i know what is happening :) then when for the first time since january she is running perfect i can make some aluminum parts and go bashing with it :)
    now who likes my story? (which is true)

    PS: Coolwings, is there any time on a saturday that is more quite in green hobby?

  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 3,455 Mod ✭✭✭✭coolwings


    Long, low jumps are just as good.
    When it's really whipping through the grass those flat jumps look incredibly fast.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,763 ✭✭✭g5hn710m4xpdwy


    :) lucky for me they keep the grass nice and short during the summer, someparts are even like dirt! without much grass, speed :)

    That should do nicely.. 4 different angles of the same jump
    A bit like an action replay:D


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 3,455 Mod ✭✭✭✭coolwings


    OMG
    With 4 diffferent cam angles, it needs (at least) to jump through a fire ring !

    Ooops - I let out a future plan ...:p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,763 ✭✭✭g5hn710m4xpdwy

    Breakdown: here we are, spammin abou,t fobia comes and lets out a big shout, we turn round and begin to pout
    But I dont care cause my thread was stickied, all the model abusers are bashin about. I cant write lyrics so this is not finished, come back tomorrow and. YEAH

    Ill keep working on trying to convert it ::(


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 3,455 Mod ✭✭✭✭coolwings


    Just a warning.
    Model fuel evaporates very fast, and a flame will travel up a vapour trail in the air.

    (Check it - light a candle - blow it out - now hold a lighted match to the smoke trail, the flame "leaps" down the trail of vaposised candlewax, and relights the wick.)

    Now on one occasion I saw a flame leap over a yard through the air to a glowfuel container. Scared the bejasus out of me at the time. :eek:

    So if you are planning anything of the sort, never have the fuel upwind or downwind of the flame, - have it waaay off to one side (an excessive distance away ) , and have the top screwed back on before you strike a match.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,763 ✭✭✭g5hn710m4xpdwy


    ok, was going to jump it over a fire about 2 feet high :P Thanks for the warning tho :) and you dont need to download that now i think :)

    It would make a brilliant slow motion video clip. But if anything goes wrong your body will get re-kitted kinda fast!
