Well Have a happy Xmas , you lot. Nothing like a bit of Xmas cheer of
seeing the Kiwis are still having trouble playing cricket!! Thanks
Nev for the help this year . we would ask you not to try so hard next
year. Allan has my 280d winch in his boat for awhile. I hear his 380
tore 5 teeth off.
Well Wednesday is proving very popular and we are taking to it like a
duck to water. Talking about water , Bob(KA13) has been having a spot
of bother of late. He reckons he is looking for someone (that chinese
fella ) to rewire his boat. Well he was on instructions to see the
comodore each day before he left the sailing site after his
'mishaps" . Anyway last week he went in to the water to retrieve his
boat and then went straight home ... again. He reckons he took it to
the local hobby store and "they fixed it". Well not to put too finer
point on it , we asked him to show us his Reciever, for he said the
reciever was heating up after about 30 minutes. Most people know that
this signafies that there is some "green stuff" in the workings
somewhere.
Sure enough the reciever pins where the servos connect in were green.
Not only green but loaded (so much for the hobby shop). we clean it
all out and gave him more instructions about maintenance. Like using
Metho etc.
And an amazing thing happened , Bob was able to sail the full day for
the first time since he started to" go home before he saw the
Comodore".
