Thanks for your report goplay! This is hard to judge from photos. But the shots on their web sites make it appear that the running angle of...
Just for the record then ... my hat size is "inflated" :D
"contained too many questions for a timely response" I agree with Carl. It's common for newcomers to message boards to pour out dozens of...
"Our Racing Federation still consider Poker Runs as outlaws" That has a familiar ring to it. I've attended a few poker runs, and will say I'm...
Not to mention frightful expense! :eek:
I still think practical range and payload would be the overriding factors. So long as the helicopter has enough of both, it's the obvious choice....
I would think the "safe" reward would be a gift certificate to a "boys" store like Frys Electronics? Or maybe one of the national mailorder...
Ah, cut us a little slack Carl. That Flarecraft looks like a great toy! And less wingspan than a conventional seaplane? flip Kelly
Yup. I wus thinking a chopper is much more practical myself. I would guess that the one solid advantage of the seaplane is range. But even that...
Same wavelength alright. It was Navy seaplane practice that I had in mind. Kelly
Well, here's a random thought. As Eric said, stern launching a seaplane results in the easiest handling. However, assuming insufficient beam for...
And who is HGTV? broadcast Kelly
Fair warning: I know nothing, but this is one fun topic! :cool: From your list I would be taking the Fairline and Viking most seriously....
Thank you for clearing that up Jannick. It was all the portholes wrapping around the bow that tipped me off. :cool: Kelly
I wonder if it was really intended to be a yacht? Or a specialized cruise ship? Kelly Cook
I don't think that relentless port/starboard symmetry in the salon furnishings helps any either. Kelly Cook
Sorry to be a Luddite, but an analytical application written in Java is hard for me to take seriously. That it is somebody's college project...
This particular Yamaha uses two 998cc 4-stroke motors (motorcycle derived). Indeed, I would expect 2-strokes to burn even more fuel. Kelly
The difference is not huge, but still there. Throttle a Yamaha SR230 (2900 lb bowrider, not PWC) back to 35mph and it sucks 12 gal/hr. A 21' I/O...
"a larger diameter, slower turning, low-pressure jet performs much more efficiently" This may be the key consideration. Of course over the...
