Harbeck School On-Road

I am planning on running some on-road next weekend, Saturday, October 22nd 2011 at the Middle School on Harbeck.  We have run here many times and feel it is one of the best places in Grants Pass for several reasons:

- Asphalt is in good condition.
- Large island which is well placed for big oval racing.
- Large area next to island which is great for drifting.
- Grassy Knoll.  No shooters, but a great place to sit in a lawn chair with elevated view of parking lot for drivers and spectators.

I plan to add three cones to make the on-road course a little more interesting than a oval.

See my attached annotated Google map image and Google map link for directions below.

Do you have time tomorrow after the flying?  I don't have the 1/8 scale OFNA yet (expected Tuesday) but my 1/16 eRevo is good to go for a few runs if it stays dry.  I don't want to run my little eRevo in the wet anymore because I've added some bling parts to replace ones I broke.

How about the Harbeck school in the link above?  Does 2:30 PM work for you?  Any others want to meet up?  Means2k, do you have that 4-Tec running?

Cool.  We'll be there at 2:30 tomorrow.

Were you driving your 1:1 car like it was a eRevo?

No worries, I hope it's nothing too serious with your car.

Hey Pelagic Pilot,

Thanks for coming out today and showing me your helicopter.  That was a great flight you did.
We hung out and raced a few more batteries before heading home.  It was a good day!

I may have to see if my wife wants to grab Subway $ 5.00 footlongs  ,and make it a picknick  8)....."I'm always thinking"    =LOL

We are planning to go again next Saturday (9-22-2011), maybe Sunday also, so you have time to warm her up to the idea.

Sounds good.  This Saturday (10-29-2011) at noon at the middle school on Harbeck (see the map above).  I'll bring my 1/8 scale on-road car and anything else I can.

EDIT:  I also have some Losi "Track Dots" if we want to mark off a course.

Anyone else planning to come out?

I don't plan on bringing a car,but do plan on being there to see yours-I'll bring a temp. gauge and my GoPro to video your car.

Cool!  It will be good to meet you.  I am just charging up a couple last batteries now, grab a bite to eat and head out.  See you guys there.

It was good to meet you guys today Pile of Toys and Golden Child, thanks for coming out.  Bummer about my tire on the OFNA 1/8 scale.  It looks like it's going to be a little tricky to get it fixed as the inside of the tire is holding pretty tight.

Isn't there a CA solvent available for "un-gluing" CA glue?  I thought I saw something like that once but I cannot remember where.  Do you think it would harm the tire rubber?

GPS-I believe you are correct,there is or used to be something to release CA glue-I don't remember what it it.It may be as simple as paint thinner.You may want to call some one like Tower Hobbies and ask those Q's-I think the tire foam will be the issue-most things will melt that, I believe.( May make the wheel brittle too )-I have some tire insert material, from old 1/8 scalers if you need it.
Thanks for the company and invite today-I am impressed with the group here.You and Golden Child are very interesting,and easy to be around.=I had a good day  8)
