Midwest Naval Combat Club schedule

thats what we do

 

You guys are only 8 hours north of me. I'm a fastgun guy down in GA. Do we know anyone who has converted a ship from fastgun to your treaty rules to play? I've skimmed them and it doesn't look terribly different, I'd just want to be in spec for that pond.

 

I would be game to crash a treaty battle with some poorly converted IRCWCC ships, I have very close friends in Ohio

 

Yeah man I figure why not? They are closer to me than yall's pond. Plus my home office is in Dayton so if I ever have to go up I'm going to try to run into the OH treaty crowd.

 

Are first battle is in May,.

We have had a couple of fast gunners battle with us. Ship construction is nearly identical, so the stuff below the balsa skin would not need to change. Pumps are based on GPM capacity rather than an orifice size so your pump needs an ESC that you can adjust. Speeds are also different, so an ESC on the drive motors would take care of that. Fishtail rudders are not allowed, so changing to a standard rudder might be needed. The last major difference is in guns. If you have really hard hitting guns you may need to de-tweek them so that the BBs don't pass through a piece of 2" foam.

 

My dad was asking, the speeds and pumps are basic on the real ships right??

Also, do I have to have namba to run my convoy ship?

 

The battle this Saturday, June 22nd, will start early so that we can avoid as much of the heat as possible. The first sortie will start at 8am and we will try to have our two battles in by noon

 

To make sure we are not waiting on captains to get ready, make sure you charge both the ship and radio batteries the night before, patch all holes at home, and function check the ship before loading it up.

Also, due to the shorter day, we will not be bringing food. So if you need snacks bring them. I will have some bottled water to make sure everyone can stay hydrated.

 

See you all in setp.

Due to some schedule conflicts, we are moving our October battle to the 12th. It will start at 10am at our Xenia battle site, weather permitting.

 

In the past, I jokingly told mark I hated him because of the quality of his work. A degree of skill that I knew I could never achieve in a lifetime. I am 76 , I have been in the hobby
40 plus years and I have come to the conclusion my only option now is to sit back and expect perfection from him without comment. GOD I MISS THE OLD DAYS

The end of the year party, just like last year, will be more of a beginning of the year party. We are looking at Saturdays in January. If you have a preference for a date let us know. Also, we are looking for a suggestion of where to meet, preferably somewhere between Dayton and Cincinnati.

 

O, I know, there will be talk about me sink a another ship when crio went down, but I’m channeling mike here. If it’s not on film it didn’t happen

 

Our meeting will be at 11am on January 11th. The location is Dickies BBQ, 752 Gardner Road, Springboro, OH, 45066
