Last week it was Commander Cautious, I believe, or was it Curious? This week its Commander Cranky. Reminds me of my Bi-polar wife.:biggrin:

Just wait until you hear from Commander Creepy,

Dan - Commander Clarifying

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

"... put the lotion in the basket!"

"... put the lotion in the basket!"

No, that's Commander Cross-dresser...


Dan - Commander Corrector

Deja Vu All Over Again?

Dear Commander Cranky:

Hey, when you're right, your right. We do have those instructions all over the place. Yes, we gotta consolodate them. Mike will be doing that soon, I'm sure. Meanwhile, you trouble-makers keep hitting me with those problems that come up and I'll address them as best I can.

Good stuff.

Documentation problem? Hmm... Maybe I should search and see if it's come up before... or wait to see if it will happen again... :pop

Who loves ya' baby?

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Jim: That would be great. And I'm sure Mike would appreciate the assist -- he has a plate full of late.

and Dan: Thanks for ruining my evening meal!...

DUH!!!.......................Now that I have been properly chastised...........consider my limited progress. Thanks to the Commander for reminding me of the articles in the "Gazette". April, August and September 2012 all have helpful articles. Now its off to the hobby store to pick up some brass tube for the prop shaft and some Plastic weld.

By the way, mine will be the "SCAMP". Just a little FYI. Well, you knew that Id have to be at least a little different from the Mainstream...................Right?

[greenman407]

A Scamp is from the Grouper family and can reach up to 36 lbs. in weight. They have a nasty reputation as a ferocious predator.

[greenman407]

Of course a Scamp is also a woman with loose morals, but I dont think that thats what the Navy had in mind when they named her.

Re instructions - anyone got a link to any instructions for the Skipjack?
Misplaced my link to that neat Caswell page that has all those great little PDFs.

Thanks

Just found them !

Mark or other Skipjack assemblers:

Can you please tell me the following dimensions of your SAS Subdrivers for the boat.
I know its 20.25" long. But how long is
-the forward battery compartment?
-the rear motor compartment?
-the ballast tank?

Many thanks

John
