    SubRonLA November Fun Run is the 5th at Yoba Linda Park

    Thought I would get this up so planning can start.

    Back in July, we thought we would try having more gatherings.
    Aug 10th and Nov 5th were suggested.

    I have finally conquered all the individual problems.
    Power extension wires had a short in one of the three plugs.
    Brushless motors do not like sharing sending power to the Rx.
    Radio Tx channel selection switch was not indicating correct channel by 1.
    Peristaltic ballast pump could use a larger inside diameter tube. Made that happen.

    The point is, there were many problems and trying to chase them all at the same time.
    Slow and at times prevented me from finding the individual problems.

    I finally disassembled the complete systems and rebuilt it one item at a time to isolate what was actually the problem.
    On Sept 10th gathering, all issues had been found.
    I have since changes some of the items like the 30 amp speed controller back to the 35 amp speed controller.
    Why when both can handle the motor draw.
    Well, the 30 amp controller was not designed for the motor.
    The speed controller does not have a good low speed control which causes the motor to cog badly.
    The 35 amp controller was made for low speed control.
    It was designed to run rock crawlers at low speed with lots of torque.
    I can slow the motor down and see the individual propeller blades go round.
    The larger diameter pump tubing has arrived and has been installed.

    Short version.
    My boat's know issues issues have been corrected and is ready to go.
