Preparations for IRCWCC NATS

And dont forget get spitball fights in restaurants So this I will get to meet the "mighty" Plato.

 

Goiing to pick up the paperwork for the Passports tomorrow morning. I contacted Russell Pearston about coiming down to join us. He's going to check his schedule and get back to me on that but he is very interested.If he does go with us than we will have to arrange to meet. GF will travel with him in his Truck. The truck is full size .

 

Good good good. If you can,submit the paperwork through the passport office in St. John's. i think if you submit it there you can either have them mail it or you can pick it up.

 

Alright will do Paul. Tks

 

It should speed up the process of getting a passport. Or at least it wont drag it out.

 

I got the paperwork just need to fil lit out. I will drop it off tomorrow morning.

 

Good job. The funny thing is that I feel better with this(Tennessee) build than I did with the Sodak. Go figure.

 

Well you got experinece with you this time and your not trying to reinvent someone else's work.

 

And all mistakes will be all mine

 

Yep they will be but you and you alone will completly understand how you solved that problem and before you know it you can fix your ships problems in no time.

Your becoming a builder bb26. Welcome aboard.

 

So far I am happy with how the build is going. I think i should have some motor mounts built by Thursday. i want to see how well they align with the shafts.

 

I make my motor mounts so they fit snugly under the motor, then I urethane them to the hull. This lets me get them positioned exactly where I want them. Plus it adds a measure of stealth, as the urethane acts to damp noise and vibration.

 

Got my birth certificate and papers. Got my Vacation request form can't submit till next month though.

 

OK well I was testing the GO PRO HERO RC CAMERA yesterday on my Tanks to get an idea of the view the camera will have. I tried the variouis attachements that came with the camera. I got to say it was amazing. This Camera will get amazing footage mounted from Bismarck of the model in battles at Nats. I tried thevarious programs for setting timers for various still pics that can be shot at different timed intervals and the numbper of pics that can be snapped at various times too. The hook up was very easy.
Maybe I should do a video of my entire trip. I can't wait to go to NATS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

bb26 I contacted the Captain of the Pointy Stick, Brechin aka Fuzzy about Nats. Depends if he will be in Kingston at that time for training. If not he is interseted in going to NATS with his cruiser.

Called Captn Nash several times this wknd..no luck getting through yet. Left a brief message that I'm going to Nats.

 

Bring all that you can! We can even have a Canadian vs. US battle on Wed.!!!

 

I thought about flying the Mapleleaf flag from Bismarck's mast just to identify me as an invader..lol . Own the podium..own the pond..yeah!!

 

Paul Hey I was checking out the PT CRUISER. Bisamrck will have to ride in the center which means the bow is going to between us. That leaves only space behind you between BIsmarck 's port side and the car and the stbd side behind me and the right side of the car. Not a lot of room. The space is equilvavent to Faye's car with the seats folded down. You got height but cargo capacity is tight. We have to bring gear and clothes. There be no room for camping gear. Unless Russell can come along or maybe Jay Jennings with his Van then we will have room to carry the Camping gear. I

 

I finally was able to speak to Craig let him know what is going on. We'll see if he can make this trip too. If so probably have Graf Spee with him.
