He's still working on it, but he's to the point now where hes able to keep up with the fleet during a race. I'll see if I can grab pics next time I see it.

Another guy in the club builds custom classical RC boats. Apparently his crown jewel is a 3 masted schooner. Lives in Ohio, but drives once a month to Central Park in New York to compete in the classical boat race they have. More of a tiny tall ships parade than a race I hear.
