    UNCLE Gs      List of rules are the bees knees in my option  not many and  well explained…. an a dummy like me can get it  With the exception of hitting a buoy as said before  (distance  eye sight etc ) if that one is out replace it with “for gods sake avoid a collision at all costs”   The one about barging is an interesting one  think of this     mass of boats tracking for the first buoy  all with good wind  arriving at the mark near or at the same time  one boat is Slow to turn he takes out x amount of boats the others still bunched strive for the next buoy still bunched  there is always going to be barging as much as you don’t want it to be so  I think barging in this instance is unavoidable  even if a separation on that run is there….. at the buoy  every one is going to try to go close to the mark to turn because that’s were you want to be   this usually occurs at the first and second marker   so the answer lies there ….. my thought for this…. move these turn buoys further out     or only one  turn buoy  allowing the fleet to spread out        thoughts any one    One last one when its decided …….our membership card is big enough for the rules to be printed on so “why not “

    Those of us with no sailing experience other than RC  sailing  would be wetting there nickers  with that last lot of gobbley gloob   it might make sense to real sailors  that compete in big races and those that want rules in RC  yachting to run their life.because they need it . but for those of us non big boat sailors  oh my god what is this    real big boat sailors need to remember    we the RC  players don’t want to sail like that   we want to play with the widdle ones and have fun and that does not include ridiculous   leeward behind your transom at right angles  and trying to remember why were on the water …. most of us  with dwindling eye sight memory loss  wobbly legs  sore hips lung problems and still married  have enough problems getting to the pond  my advice     keep it simple…  keep it very simple     those that are so keen to enter the word of rules might like to join other clubs that cater for them  but for me  narh…… lets have fun…..  these are my thoughts only…others can say what they wish  an please do so   so in conclusion     green beats pink

    Thank you longtall that is the answer  long distance buoys  no penalty that i recon is fair because of distance  ie eyesight   close buoys/ start finish = penalty  cool …  except for pink boats and black boats they should be tossed off the pond straight away

    OHHH BUGGAR    IM FIRST IN  so be it…. good rules there  let me include one more for discussion          hitting a buoy  or in this stupid generation …girl   I would like to see no penalty  like ya gotta do a 360  for touching it  in my opinion  that’s dumb if a  fella or chickie babe hits a buoy / girl   so be it .  if their in with a chance to win or get a good place  there should be no penalty for it  : example

    I was second to the finish behind a rather shabby slack dopey  black thing …..that was soooo lucky to get in front of me   when at the finish line he done a 360 for some infringement buoy/ girl bashing way back I presume   that sucked  he won fair an square I  got no pleasure from the first place  after all the hard work keeping me off his back only to forfeit his wining place at the line  if in the real world that’s the way it is  then I  say…….. not for us    now someone might say that’s the rules … no not if we don’t want it  long tall has put it out there for discussion this is our club our rules  lets make em for us…..  is there more rules we have you don’t like post it for debate  or accept  it ……   Second Rule     green boats start first no exceptions  (i like that one )

    Old picture  but it shows how some of us protected you from the boat people ….. the aircraft was fitted with one anti tank cannon on the underside of the fuselage and machine gun on top…  a drop tank was installed for long flights  along with a in-flight refuelling probe  and a missile on the wing  I carried a personal weapon  (a cross bow)   as the buggars didn’t come here  it worked didn’t it    PS    no Indonesian was harmed in making this picture

    A perfect day for a quick flight   I set the wing camera for video so I thought …….. a lot of  photos were removed to speed up the show but close enough for the  effect to be not noticed to much …. if the film is paused  fish can be seen   and a bird flying off  there are 3 people on the beach just getting out of the  creek running along the sand dunes   all waved   later on I heard they couldn’t be-leave there eyes  they heard the sound but couldn’t see the plane until I came out  they enjoyed it   so I was told   this flight wasn’t intended to be a pass over the fishing spot  but as I had just done a pass over my rellies working the oysters  and was gaining height   bream creek was there  so  this was the day    PLEASE NOTE  NO FISH WERE HARMED  IN MAKING THIS VIDEO
