Hi jb,
How nice to know that I'm not being pilloried from all directions. I never thought 'someone' would get so worked up. When supporting red's post, I thought I would be one of many but either we are in a great minority or nobody else wants to show support. I think it a great pity that one is not allowed to have their opinion, the opposing view having their's and just leaving it at that without getting in an almighty tiz and throwing their toys out of the pram. I think it a bit much that it should be me receiving all the flak now
Having three , four hour sessions in hospital each week, one sees and hears things and I have heard from the nurses about people dying of renal failure and other things and it being put down for official purposes as covid. One nurse was taken off work for a month because her nine year old daughter had (erroneously) been diagnosed with covid. Through this and other things, I am convinced that the figures are being fiddled.
I really do not know what to do to calm things down, just shut up and let him have the last word, or write a post trying to calm things down, perhaps suggesting that politics should be banned from the forum if it is going to create so much argument.

Many thanks for your support, all the best.

Thanks JB 😊
Appreciate your support, and your marvellous Blogs and 'funnies' research.
Keep 'em coming👍
Yeah, shame about David. A troubled man.
Don't like Blocking folks, but enough was enough!
This was the last message David managed to get through, via the Support function - Keep it under your hat please!

Hi,
Yes I was referring to your video. Sure looks fun! I have not gotten into RC vehicles, pretty expensive here in my area even used. Lots of moving parts and most are race cars, drifters etc. Crawlers too.

After being in the salt water, do you clean everything in fresh water right away?

I repaired a large sailboat that had been sailed in saltwater. The rudder post had seized. Would not wish that upon you!

Looking forward to future videos.

Pretty cool video.

I worked as a welder fitter for ten years in my father-in-law’s shop. We built many things, and trailers were one of them. Would you be able to add a longer tongue? Is adding a tilting device too much at this point? How about a winch? Or is the whole idea to retrieve hands free?

Hi JB,

I did get to the bottom of this bug. Some photos from other users pending posts were being crossed over. Basically there was no check for the user ID.

Hopefully it'll not happen again! Thanks for reporting it. 😎

Pond

Hi,
I sail Seawinds at Onepotu pond. Seeing your Air boat vid I wondered if the pond it is filmed in, is at "Millwater"?
I ask because i need to test out my boat mods ect ect from time to time and could do with something closer to home.
My location is Stanmore Bay.
Cheers,
Kjeld

Hi JB ,
Have the plans for Orca if you are interested (offered them to the guy that built it - went ahead and bought them anyway) - also the Maine Lobster Boat and a NZ shrimper .
Did you get hold of Steve Mahoney - see he is up and running on a new model on Mayhem already - prolific static modeler .
Regards
Peter G
