Brian's Abacore

Ben's right Brian's large Albacore is simply amazing most ingenious system i've seen. Brian has managed to put together a state of the art Sub with all the bells and whistles using components he found around the house. The WTC is a glass pickle jar, the RCABS uses a bicycle inner tube. Last time I was over the rest of his old bike was out at the curbside.
Brain claims the hardest part was doing the vacuum forming in his oven. Had to time it while the wife was in her bath so she didn't catch him messing up her oven.
That counter rotating prop is also genius.

Thanks Tim,

For my part all

Thanks Tim,

For my part all I do is push a little button on a camera ... I think it's the boats that make the picture.

You are right though it was a good time, and look forward to next year already.

Cheers
Ben
