Hi Martin. I think I still need to play with my CG on the PT. I’ve seen videos of others and they either act like mine or plane at a slightly steeper angle and handle better.
The two women fishing had a pretty good time watching us run, we did sailboats first the first hour we were out, the women fishing were itching to see the PT and some if Larry’s fleet run, so we obliged. Being former aircraft maintainers they asked some very intelligent, technical questions about the boats. It was a very good day😀
Had a small group of us meet at Josey Ranch this past Sunday. We ran from 900 am till noon-thirty or so. I took the PT15 out and she seems to handle a bit better, still wants to “dig in” when powers down a bit, I’m thinking move the C/G back a bit more and switch from nimh to lipo will put here where I want her. We had 2 older women fishing right next to us, we talked about fishing, aircraft, (one, maybe both worked for Delta as maintainers) boats and fishing..it was a very pleasant day!!
Hi Cash - glad to see you back in action - like the boats - noticed the social distancing did not apply to the boats themselves......... would have had a hissy fit here
Good to see a version of near normality.
Hi Cash,
I am glad to see you and Fred had some time on the water.
The little pusher Tug worked very well.
It is nice to see your boats in action after having been in lockdown for a while.
Glad you both had fun.
Haven’t posted much here lately, went back to work on the 1st, just now getting back to some sense or normalcy...even though most people who know me well would say I’m not quite normal..or not quite right, take your pick.🤣
Anyway, the day before I started work my buddy Fred and I ran boats at my Churches pond, aka the “Cottonwood Creek Baptist Test Pond” I made a little video of our day, hope y’all enjoy...and yes, Fred and I kept our distance from each other.😊

Nice boats, particularly like the Fire Chief and that speedboat. I envy you the weather too, all we've had this last few weekends have been gales which have ruined the chances of sailing.
Regards, Nerys
When the winds before the rain, soon you may make sail again, but when the rain's before the wind, tops'l sheets and halyards mind
