"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...
The glass will be expensive, but is easily within current technology. Just a matter of writing a big enough check. Kelly
For once I'm speechless ....
