I had to do a nippleectomy to make this one fit the Pelican rules. For some reason I did not notice it at first. :cool:

morning all.

Hi glen

Where are the days that i could browse the web looking for PP compliant girlypics, at work...

Nowadays, It's work work work.

not for me its a day off.........tomorrow as well then friday for a gig. Keeps up and I won't want to go back to full time.

If it wasn't for money, I wouldn't go back at all on Mondays.

its always something. Monday suck including this one. Got up to early maybe I'll head back to bed.

Well, pick up the check in about an hour, gotta file a police report about the break in first...then back to hhi to pick up the jag assuming its ready.

have fun.

Joe, so you live in at Hilton Head. Do you work in Savannah?

True, it is winter, and I wasn't really going that fast. But they were at "operating temperature" for the winter. So I want the pressures at that temperature to be correct. Then when summer comes along I will re-adjust.

You sure? These are not race tires, just DOT-R compounds. The fronts are medium compound, rears are medium hard.

All the reports I heard from the track and autocross guys were that the A048s don't like too much pressure. Above 30 they reported them beign greasy. Some Lotus used 27/29 hot at the track.

Now that I think I have the clearance problem fixed I will try to scrub in the rear tires and if the understeer is still there I will drop the front tire pressures since I did not have understeer with the much lower pressures. And I will watch the tire wear to see if the rears have too much pressure. I think I was running them right about 28 or 29 warm before and the wear pattern was good. The shoulders are still there since I am not racing or autocrossing it, but the scrub goes to the little triangle marker.

Yup, live on hhi, bit find myself in savannah 2-4 times per week.

That is a fairly long drive from what I remember from last summer. The traffic was nucking futz.

I usually make it in about 40 minutes. Traffic in savannah always sucks, traffic on the island is just insane during the season.
Waiting on the adjuster to show up.

I just hate slow moving traffic. I love my commute to work. Most days it is 12 minutes. Some days I can drive for three or four miles before I see any other cars at all. It is rare to see more than a handful of cars for the first few miles.

The only place I see much traffic on the highway just past the exit where I get off. The traffic on past my exit sucks but I don't ever have to go that far.

Still waiting on the adjuster. He was supposed to be here 7 minutes ago.

I find most folks like that can't really tell time. Punctuality is not a word in their vocabulary.

Glen, there is an IMAA club that has a flying field near Lazy E Arena. IMAA or International Miniature Aircraft Association requires your R/C plane be minimum of 1/4 scale, or 6 ft wingspan. They have a fly-in where guys from all over come and fly their planes. It's great fun to go watch, check out the planes, and they gots good burgers.

Quit R/C planes about the time they just started making miniature jet turbines. Flew R/C planes for the adrenaline from the concentration. The Kirkpatrick turnpike killed the one good place in this area to fly R/C. Traded to autocross from r/c flying for my adrenaline fix.

From the size of those planes and watching some of the landings I bet autocross is cheaper!

The "normal" R/C planes weren't that expensive. After about 5 years of not flying, I sold all my R/C planes, radios, and motors for $1000 to the local hobby shop. It was enough stuff to fill a minvan including the passenger seat.

When you go to the IMAA sized planes the bigger kits, servos, and motors are a LOT more expensive.
