For anyone with the slightest experience in RC modeling, it is nigh impossible to convert a man- o- war static display model into a swimming, let alone radio controllable model. You almost invariably end up scratch building the hull again, because the displacement of a model is nowhere near big enough. A scale model with a scale hull would sink like a stone. Also, you will need to build a detachable keel, as the center of gravity would be too high in a model and the model would capsize in even the slightest breeze. And I am not even talking about controlling the running rigging so that such a model can actually perform real sailing maneuvers. In other words, RC tall ships is model building's Big League and definitely not for the uninitiated. aye it is true to be too top heavy but thats why rc boats have weights added in the hull, even the ready to sail rc boats have a weight on the bottom, not the most period looking but it works. if you get a hull with a deep enough cut into the water it would be easy enough to glue the weights into the bottom, which could also be used to level an un level hull.

yep only way is to make your own all rc sailboats are either modern yacht or boring hulled sloop style like the dumas ship. but dumas makes a sail control unit for making your own boat so i might get a big model boat kit and add the sail control unit on the sails and just getting the hinges for the rudder off of dumas http://www.dumasestore.com has all the hardware.

ill be there, but ill be working at imaginarium.

heh i thought thats what it was... figured id keep my mouth shut caz i wasn't positive :) I think im gunna go for the swashbuckler job.

I had my interview at the PARF today and it went well and I was given a list of positions to choose from. I only listed the costumed ones since thats what I want to do :) What position do yall think I should take? Description here: Gate Greeter: Welcoming the patrons to the faire... welcoming committee extraordinaire. Those assigned this position will set the stage for the day. Polite greetings and salutations are required. Example welcoming: "Push and shove, push and shove, take small children firmly by the hand and drag them through the dirt!" Royal Tee Assistant: This is a costumed position requiring much creativity to attract attention to merchandise for sale at these shops. Privy Attendant: Basic job is cleaning the johns, but are asked to set them up their own style with candles lotions or whatever(not very fun in my eye but ill post it up lol) Shire Maintenance: Basically just walk around pick up trash and help people. Beer Bartender: Self explanatory Cart Runner: Run carts around with stuff in it from stand to stand(water/ice/whatever) Swashbuckler(the parf owned beer place in the faire makes own beer) Retail Assistant: A costumed position that requires the ability to interact with the customers while providing information on the brewing process and Swashbuckler Merchandise. Im leaning toward Gate Greeter or swashbuckler assistant what yall think?

i dont know how much its worth but my o my would i love to have that... makes my guitars look like poo.

i even made it onto the 25 year love a-faire documentary cd! I have yet to buy the dvd Well guys wish me luck, my interview for a job position is tommorow at 2:30 at the faire for every other weekend :)

There IS??? Dang...there goes all the fun... Ya its always more fun breaking the law!

ya the specs are a lil high but fall relatively low compared to many new comp games now. Their recomended is a lot of mmorpgs required. Heck ill be alright though just finished my gaming comp. 3.2ghz 2gig ram 512 mb pci express radeon vid card :) its a shame their beta is closed tho id like to give it a try.

I am actually thinking about picking up a sunflower 3.3 the slightly better model of a super snark for the slightly wider width, front splash deck w/ storage and center seat that the super snark doesn't have. Both are neat boats though castlecraft.com and sailboatstogo.com both have them 800 for super snark and 1169 or so for sunflower 3.3

lol its a darn good thing there is a law protecting parodies huh?! Funny though, and o so true.

Glad to see some interest, Im going to go ahead and post as Oct 14th so we can do the Halloween weekend its good weather, good faire days and shows.

nah but it does kinda make me hungry for spaghetti

Just finished the thing you get to download a POTC2 Screensaver and a special background but i like the background in the site itself better(when you click the barrel on the dock screen thats a cool background)
