I went up to swan Creek to do some sea trials today. The pond looks beautiful too bad you guys aren't willing to drive down there. The NC is looking better balanced and her water channeling is working better now. I wanted to see if modifications To her drive train were working properly. Unfortunetly one of her shafts locked up on me so I couldn't see if she was getting close to he correct speed or not. It seems like she is going to have a few teathing problems before I get everything sorted out on her.
You should have told me you were planning on going there today. I have fridays off, would have joined you.
I was thinking morning so if more thing break down I have time to fix them before the battle. Say, 1000?
I'd like to, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to. Fridays are much better for me since my wife is working and thus doesn't mind my abesence. I'll let you know tonight if I'll be there tomorrow.
I'll be there, hopefully with the Maru for sea trials. I broke the rudder servo mount though, so we'll see. I've got no gas unless youre bringing a fill station, so if I bring the Suffren for practice runs there will be no shooting.
Well, actually I have a fill station...just no CO2 tank to fill from. Its on my wish list though. It would be nice to do gun practice/testing on the water. Looking forward to seeing you there.
Wonder what a co2 tank costs these days. Bet you could pick one up on your way north if you were so inclined.
Where is Swan Creek. I may be inclined to join you fellers. If you need CO2 I can take your tanks and get them filled for you.
The Maru made a good showing on the test pond today. She needs a little more ballast, but otherwise she ran well. Unfortunately when putting her in the trunk of my car, i managed to destroy the rudder. 50-50 on whether I will have a replacement built by tomorrow morning.
Nick's little tanker looks really nice on the water. she should prove a great convoy vessel I had a really hard time getting the NC into a position to shoot at her. Maybe if I had a bow gun or something that rotates.
Thats my opinion as well. Unfortunately it wont be out on the water tomrrow as I simply haven't gotten to fabricating a new rudder for her tonight.
