February Fun Run

[crazy ivan]

Last Sunday's Fun Run saw the maiden voyage of my Moebius Skipjack class Fast Attack boat, the USS Snook (SSN-592). The ballast system was not yet functional, there were rubber bands and duct taped chunks of foam in play, but we managed a decent surface run. Further builder's trials to come next month. Here are some photos and video:


On display at the Tonawanda Winterfest.




Preliminary trimming.




Please pardon the finger-in-frame. It's tough to run the camera and the boat at the same time.

George,

The video doesn't play. It states "video is private"?

Looks like a good first trial run.

It does not play on my iPad.

I did like the waterline model in the one photo. BD.
Just tried it again and it works now.
I like the song but the ping was giving me a headache.

Geeze BD, don't those iPads come with a volume control?
You shoulda bought a Kindle!
