    I did something similar to habitat for humanity with my church in Biloxi, Mississippi. It was truly amazing. Good luck, i could never bike 10 miles, never mind 100

    I've been doing some tinkering and instead of running 2 pumps in Bismarck I am going to run just one as a 2 unit pump. This allows me to count the pump as 2 units. (2 gallons per minute) With the use of ESC's this will allow me to change from Treaty to MWC or IRC rules. Just change the throttle from Treaty to the other fast gun format speeds and to pump as much as it will pump.

    This is the area that I hope to work on today. Epoxy around the struts and clean up where the shafts exit the hull.
    Heaters are on to try to warm up the garage.

    I am thinking of changing the names of my turrets on Bismarck.
    A turret "Hood"
    B turret "Bearn"
    C turret "Prince of Wales"
    D turret "Invincible"

    I think I will paint "Hi Bismarck" on the bottom of my Invincible so when I sail over the top of her sunken hulk, the Bismarck won't feel so lonely.
