RE: Nitro engine?
My BSB has a tower .46 with a 10x8 . If you can get a .60 It will really get this hull moving. A .15 will be very under powered

RE: WTB CEN Wave Shark Upgrade
Well I got a chance to run her today and I was really happy with performance. It jumps out of water on a slight hole shot and runs pretty fast . I beleave it would beat my nitro .18 version . I used a carbon f. prop I had from off shore elect. I had on my nitro version . After about 10 -12 min I brought it in and the cooling system worked great packs and esc were just warm nothing major . And I used about 45% out of my 5200 packs.it wants to hop around now at 3/4 throttle so Im gonna fab up some trim tabs and see how that helps . I want to avoid adding weight to front if I can help it . So far Im very happy with set up . I did mount the rec. under servo tray in ballon and added a y splice to run a battery through steering servo leg.

RE: Help! New Boat problem
Sweet IM glad you got her started. You can dry run for a few minutes blipping throttle before really needing water .but your gonna need about 2-3 tanks run through it before it really holds a tune.

RE: Help! New Boat problem
A hard start is normal for a new nitro engine . Losen glow plug a little when trying to start that will help turn motor over. Keep trying . When you get a blister on your finger you know your almost there. keep trying, a new engine will start and die a few times before it really starts to seat the piston and stay running.keep trying, and keep head cooled w some sort of water jug set up . Or dry cycle it a few times after its reached temp. make sure to set piston at dead bottom before leaving to cool.

RE: Wilmington NC air show pics
Couple more pics, I can only load a few at a time for some reason. The second shot was a flying dagger witha group of four texans barreling around him as he desended. The Lucas Pitts was awsome with some very low inverted, knife edge passes with some very over the top moves . A F 16 later did a fly by with a couple of the mustangs after tearing the show up with thundering over head passes and a high alpha slow mo nose high down the runway (no pics )
