    Gentlemen modelboatbuilders
    Last week was the opening of the season for steamdriven boats today my favourite the electro driven boats!
    What a day!
    Lots of sunshine! 14 participants( what ร  succes) nice people, NEW members, so the average age is going down now! The average is Not 18 but we are getting there ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
    ๐Ÿ˜‚ Hereby some pictures of our kick off of the Season! Unfortunately our lake or pond is Not as beautifull as the Swiss , the american or english ones with dining facilities but the Atmosphere, friendship is at least as important s well as the gathering with Friends. Enjoy life

    I am looking for help/guidance regarding switches in my motor circuit.
    My questions are:
    1. Should I put a switch on the battery supply ?
    2. If so, what rating should it be ?
    3. There is no switch to the receiver/ESC at present and I believe there should be one. Can anyone confirm this please.

    Now, for reference, the circuit comprises the following:
    A 5S 5000mAh 30C Lipo battery; 40A fuse; 90A marine ESC; 3 20A fuses; a 46x50 brushless motor; Flysky receiver. (as yet no switches)

    Any guidance will be greatly appreciated. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    our pond can't compeet with yours.
    yours is natural, with extremely nice surroundings
    it 's based in ITALIA, with italians, italian wine, italian pasta, italian pizza
    we have to do it with french fries and beer, ok some belgian chocolates.
    Why is life so layback in Italia?

    I READ YOUR REMARKS AND THERE' S NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR SCALE. THE POND YOU ARE SAILING IS TO SMALL THAT 'S IT. IF YOU WANT TO SAIL ON A VERY NICE POND YOU ARE INVITED TO ANTWERP. I THINK WE ARE THE ONLY CLUB WITH 2 PONDS. DIFFERENCE MUST BE AND DEFINETLY WHEN YOU EXIST 119 YEARS. HEREBY SOME MOUTHWATERING PICTURES. THIS POND HAS BEEN ESPECIALLY BUILT FOR OUR CLUB; I WILL SENT YOU SOME PICTURES OF THE NEW POND AS THERE'S A BIG CHANCE WE HAVE TO LEAVE OUR POND ON THE LEFT BAN SIDE OF THE RIVER

    the sailing squad left us about a year ago as all of them on rc and not on a wind rudder like in the old days where they had a wooden stick to re- arrange the rudder and when it was just a straight saling regatta. They now sail just outside antwerp on a drinkwater reservoir for the city with a lot of wind, no trees and a lot of sailing fun
    cheers
    Herman

    i jnow a lot of people love steam driven boats but it is such a mess with the oil :(
    Our pond has been especially made for us in the early fifties. I have mentionned this when you go on to the side. It is completely in concrete. 1m deep nd 2 levels underneath ground level to avoid wind disturbing our sailing. 2 a month from april onwards we do have a competiton(one steam and one electro) where you have to navigate between fenders and follow a well indicated route. I think we are the onlu clube who are so fortunate to just now as there is a good chance we have to leave the premisses becauce the city wants to reorganise the area which is on the left bank side of the river. If you do have more questions do not hesitate to write or ask
    bueno notte
