2024 CARMEL R/C SUB FUN RUN “LUNCH and LEARN”

WE are pleased to announce on Saturday August 10, 2024 we will
again have a LUNCH and LEARN session under the tent.

This year we would again like to thank Loyalhanna Dockyard for
supplying the Pizza for our “LUNCH” portion of the LUNCH and LEARN session.

We are again looking for volunteers and suggestions for topics that
are related to the R/C Submarine Hobby.

The presentation will be limited to approximately 10 to 15 minutes so
as to get a variation of topics.

Please use this thread to suggest various topics related to the R/C Submarine Hobby.

If you are interested in presenting a short topic please PM me (Don Osler) or
send an e-mail to carmelraffle1@gmail.com or you can also PM Don Spielberger.

Always a great time. Hope all can come and enjoy a fun event.

Lunch and Learn update:

Chris Rueby will be giving a short presentation on his Deep Flight II Submarine.
It’s a great running Sub, a dynamic diver, (no ballast system is required),
making the sub easier to build and have fun with!

The side wings, dual rudders and enclosed prop are different than our normal,
plus the 3d printed hull. This should be an interesting presentation.

Thank You Chris!

I phoned mine in cause i was wanting to stay at the Hilton homewood suites again like i did in 2022 but they were booked solid. So my reservation is back at the garden this year same as last year. I just hope its a better stay than last year.. last year had some party animals in the next room that were loud as hell all night even after the management talked to them. The homewood suites were nice cause it had much more room to work on your models and had a full kitchen and i was still able to get the discount... but i waited to long to make the reservation apparently.

Dave
Glad you will be able to make it to the event.
