Very nice Rich! I used to do this with my dad, I'm thinking maybe I should go pick up a simple kit to work on with my son

Rich, So do you have one that I can buy from you at the tri state meet? My daughter would love 1!

EDIT: Rich it may be time to move on to planes.

i like sticking to boats and im sorry i don't have any for your daughter to buy. You might want to buy a legend instead of buying an rc sailboat.

..but its still not in a bottle??? Just messin, very nice, still wanna see you build a submarine tho!

bboarder711 · 04-06-09, 08:36 PM

haha we'll see. the thing is i cant see a submarine while im using it so i might just look like a tool at the lake with a radio

reboticon · 04-06-09, 08:52 PM

@ mental image. I totally didn't even think through the whole idea of a submarine. Its just something totally different but still possible. I did not even consider how you would drive it! You would need lights and a water proof camera system, and even then you would still just look silly to everyone else! (Unless you had torpedos

) but yeah

I didn't even think it out that far!

I saw the video you posted on facebook, that looked like some smooth sailing! Nice calm music too. I enjoyed it.

Whos playing the guitar in the songs in the vid? It sounds like a home recording?

bboarder711 · 04-07-09, 02:02 PM

it is a home recording, my buddy wrote them and then records them with logic pro

reboticon · 04-07-09, 02:53 PM

hehe I do some home recording as well and I could tell the instant the second song - ill call it "blues riff" started to play, and I heard those drums! Ive probably sat and jammed around that loop for hours!

Damn, That's a bad ass boat, looks like a lot of time went into building it. I tried flying a friends helicopter once but it didn't go that well. Nice build, looks great.
