Alfred,
They just about are. There’s a massive (relatively speaking) turn fin that holds them in the turns. I wasn’t kidding when I said 13Gs in the turns. We’ve actually put strain gauges on the boom tubes.
This is a friend of mine I built a kit for. He’s been a thorn in the side of the B-Hydro class with it ever since. If you watch, he comes from almost last place, on the outside, and takes the field before the end of lap two.
Thanks. Brad.

I'd like to watch one of these races in person. We dont have them around here anymore. To many Tree Huggers. The whole world is going sissy mary on us! OOOOOH Noise Fuel , pollution. In the 80's we had a Cranbury bog reservoir in a industrial park we used to run at and they squashed that by 1998 . So now I have to launch my 14 ft Aluminum boat in a public lake, go out in the middle to run my boats. and the residents still complain. Hate Massachusetts. Bunch of mama's flamers.

I can't help you with your location, other than this:
You're in District 1
I wholly agree with your commentary, though.
Thanks. Brad.

Thank You fellows. This thread now 'screams'. The amount of models are so impressive that it's without doubt like having

They have something similar at the LOTO Shootout. I go out and watch them for 1 day at HAHA TONKA State Park. Some big iron shows up and they are really cool to watch. I would really like to build or get one, but every time I've tried driving a RC anything, it crashes!. I lost 2 drones last year out at my river place. They just flew away, never to be seen again. One did show up while mowing a couple months later, it was trashed.
