    If you have RC sailing boats, go to Howth Yacht Club on Sunday afternoons
    or to the National Yacht Club where they race RC Lasers also Sunday afternoons.

    Some years ago, RC powerboats (including a submarine) gathered at the pond in UCD on Sat or Sun afternoons. Perhaps they still do?

    I got some boats that i modded a lot with brushless and lipo and other stuff.

    They go like the clappers, i go for speed not looks.
