Step into my garage
boats, planes, cars and copters

Hobbies
Boats are definitely #1, however scale modeling cars, airplanes, and helicopters are still a way to put myself in the cockpit and surviving the Gs without risking my life. Hydroplanes are the coolest combination of air and water craft, sporting swept looks and precision aero/hydrodynamics with a significant risk of disaster - which requires the skill of the pilot to maintain. Keep it dangling at the edge!

Main updates are in the Deep Vees section. But some new vids just came in on the micro side: Mini V and the Micro Fountain.

When Dad was in town we did some boating. Our objective was to get some racing done with our comparable set ups but different hulls. Here is some racing footage (see video).

Oberto got back into some speed laps (see video).

Got the Miss Geico blistering on 6S lipo (see video) and then tricked dad into running his Fastech on 6S (23+ volts!).... check this out (see video).  I even had a chance to try out the boatcam! (see video).

New boy in the dock! Check out the Mini Rio; turn 1, turn 2 and last photo.

Heres the video!
