R/C Naval Combat

All
I plan to host a build session for all formats on Sunday June 22,
starting at 9am, and lasting into the evening.
All formats are welcome to attend.
I would like to also have a captain's meeting for both the
Midwest battle Group, and also Battlestations, so that we can get
some sort of battle schedule put together for the two groups, take photos of the captains, and their ships, and such.
My boatshop is approx. 20 miles north, and west of Dayton, Ohio.
It is possible that I might be able to get the use of the local battle site if there is enough interest in putting ships on the water.

Mikey,

Thanks for opening up your shop for this. Sounds like a blast!

Sorry I won't be able to make it, though. My family will be in Yosemite over the 22nd...

Hope you have a great time!

You anticipate another trip up this way anytime soon?
Mikey

Mikey,

I'll be Columbia City for only a few days in July, but each day is spoken for with family commitments. I wish I had time to run over and visit you in OH. I had a blast when you drove over to CC to visit me at my dad's house a couple of years ago. But this time I'm afraid I wouldn't even have time to visit you even if you drove to CC...

Don't know if I'll be up there for Christmas this year or not. If I am, I'll try to hook up with you then!

Thanks,

Carl

It looks like there may be quite a few new captains attending the
get-together, so I would like to turn this into a swap-meet of sorts,
also. So if anyone has any stuff for sale or trade, please bring it,
as it may give someone that is just getting started a jump-start on
their project.
Thanks.
Mikey

All
The all day all format build session/swap meet..
10555 Dayton-Greenville Pike
Brookville, Ohio.
45309
My cell is (937)-620-6053
Starts around 9am, lasts all day.

From I-70
Go to exit 24 which will put you on Rt 49 going north.
Go approx. 4 miles to the city limits of Phillipsburg.
There will be a smallish hamburger/icecream joint on the right.
I am directly across the street on the left.
Large 3-bay white garage/barn.

Looks like there will be 10-15 captains attending throughout the day.
Will probably be several boats for sale (both small-gun, and big-gun), as well as fiberglass hulls, and
possibly wooden hulls.

I also have a local hobby shop, and Clippard dealer, so if anyone needs anything that they are having trouble finding, just let me know in advance, and I will try to pick the stuff up.

Looks like low 80s with a chance of rain, so we will probably not be going to the pond during the day, but we will have lots of combat videos playing from both small-gun, and big-gun.

All
We had our all-format build-session/ captain's meeting this past Sunday.
Turn-out was pretty good with the following captains in attendance.

Captain club (s) ship (s)

Mikey (host) Treaty Renown, Strasbourg
MBG Bearn, LeTerrible
Battlestations Strasbourg, Mogador

Phil A. Treaty Suffren, Newport News
MBG Richelieu, Bearn
Battlestations Tashkent, Emile Bertin

Eric N. Treaty Markgraf


Steve V. MBG KGV, Victoria, G-3


Bat Treaty Dunkerque, Richelieu
MBG TBD (Richelieu)?
Battlestations TBD (Richelieu)?

Lee D. MBG Jap DD
Battlestations Mogami (?)
BBS Yamato, Dunkerque, Mogami

Several other captains showed an interest in attending, but couldn't make it.

We worked on the boats some, and discussed R/C warship combat in our region,
based on who was battling with each of the various clubs.
A good time was had by all, as it was for the most part a boat day.
I will break-down the stuff that we discussed in the areas for each club.
Mikey

As we didn't have all of the local captains that have shown an interest in Battlestations in attendance for the meeting, we simply discussed who was building what.
Here is a list of what we have in the planning stages so far.

Strasbourg (Mikey) 90% complete has been on the water for sea-trails.

Mogador (Mikey) 10% complete wooden hull skeleton constructed.


Tashkent (Phil A.) 15% complete wooden hull assembled.
Emile Bertin (Phil) ?

Capitani (Jeff S) plans on-hand construction to commence soon.

Bat is looking to build something. Possibly Richelieu, but French for sure.

Lee is looking to build something. Possibly Mogami, or a large Jap DD.
