RE: RC Surfer
OMG Tom ! That is incredible. I only wish you would have tilted your helmet Cam more on Ke11y. That Video would have gone Viral for you and Rc surfing. It's a classic regardless.... Are you going back during the Hurley Pro when it's in full swing???

RE: RC Surfer
Dom, Looks like NQD has come out with a male figure. From all accounts the NQD was done, I bet they tweeked it a bit. The video also shows a 2.4 ghz hobby king TX. Very interesting. Eventually they may get it right. They have already gone thru two hull changes, that improved the board a bit, maybe this one has been improved? I took a look at it and shipping to me is $29 ? I'm only 100 miles away from them! Total came out to $229 ...

RE: RC Surfer
It's a combination of aspects I like from all the production models. And then I tweaked the things I didn't like. Its a solid - seamless Foam Board that is glassed, Not A two piece shell. The line on the rail was drawn on, But decided not to go the two piece method in the future as you mentioned. I don't want any separation on the hull. Still looking at the running gear, but will probably stick to the usual stuff I run. 3300 Kv motor, 29 mm prop, semi or full flex, 60 amp esc The Figure is the hard part ... The GT2 Tx has been tested for distance range from Some guys I know, And it went out over a 1000 feet and was calculated from a real boat in the water to spot it/ and the pilot on the shore. I think the glitches have to do with the antenna, Sail dog had a heck of a time with his and had to resolder the antenna

You boldly placed a price and value, and now you back off ? I call it Arogance along with IGNORANCE You learned most about the Rc Surfer from 142.7 pages on this blog about it and later with your calculated formulas. P.S. I'm still waiting for the gumby figure you promised for Bro #2 OK, Coming Soon Newbies come in here, and think they learned it all by reading....
