Micke and me took the monday off and went to Oxelösund for some RC boating! Needless to say we where the only ones there (it was a monday!). I had made some new development turn-fins to test on my new Kep's 21 '09 rigger and I learned some more things... Micke even tested them on his old Kep's "freebie" and we learned a little there also... I will modify one of them for the race in Ludvika and the testing will continue. My new 3.5 cc off-shore boat was in the drink also for the first time. The engine isn't broken in yet (Sirio S21 CL3) but I think its promising - I havent raced off-shore since many, many years...
Micke throws the Kep's in the juice.
Well... It's me... :)

Pics from Eksjö
My 3.5 boat in action.
My Falcon II 3.5 cc boat with Futaba 4PK FASST™ radio. I use one of few CMB RSV-07 engines that runs good in the V-boats... I use Sirio S7 Turbo cold plugs and 40% fuel with 8% Klotz Original Techniplate (synthetic) and 7% Klotz Benol oil (recin).
This is me with my Falcon II boat built by Tony Forslund - I won the 3.5 final in the windy conditions.
The Eksjö club did a good job with the race - this is some of them. :)
Micke Fridh diggin hard into the wet.
Timo Aarnio from Finland.
Sometimes sunny but mostly WINDY.
On Sunday it was actually getting warmer and warmer but the wind was still blowing from the north.
You could pull tree logs with this monster. It was very calm in the windy conditions though and ended up "fastest" in the "moped" class (35 cc).
The Juniors during the 3.5 final.
Fredrik Pedersén dominated the 3.5 cc junior final from start to finish.
Conny was fast in the final - he finished 6:th in 7.5 cc.
Christian Fridh looking kool.
Fredrik doing some FSR-V style driving for the first time.
NAVIGA all-mighty "The Shaft" from the lower lands had floater shoes on.
Sune's 35 boat was good but it leaked water so he did not start in the final.
This was Jan-Olof Hammarling's first ever RC race - he did good in the 35 cc class.
Fredde & Micke.
This is the second time I meet Sune Persson. He's 70+ and still going... :)
Fredde Cederberg was fast but didn't like the windy conditions.
Local FSR-V "Rookie" Fredrik Karlsson had fun even though he didn't make the final.
Christian Fridh's 3.5 in action - he ended up in second place.
The rescue boat guys did a super job! :)
Lennart Jerksten in action.
Staffan Zetterlund in 3.5 - he finished third.
Christian Fridh in the blue boat and Lennart Jerksten in the "girly" paint job ride. ;)
We even had a competitor from "Czechoslovakia" here.
More pics from the race can be found here and here.
Results Eksjö FSR-V June 13-14
This past weekend we where in Eksjö for the third Swedish nats of '09 in FSR-V (my first FSR-V race of the season). The weather predictions where not so good and the weather guys where not completely wrong... :(
The worst wind direction for this lake is from the north - and from the "polar circle" the wind came... In force. In qualifying on Saturday it was not sooooo bad but on Sunday finals it was not funny.

Oxelösund pics
After the race when they pulled the cable out of the water from the permanent clock tower and the pontoon it got hooked to something in the water... It was a stripped down (stolen) moped! I doubt it will start... ;)
A couple of TT Bandits in action. The new Bandit II boat is nowhere in sight on the Swedish market though. Maybe we will see it at the next nationals!?
Mikael Sundgren's heavily weighted VS1.
Fredrik Lundahl is the green Bandit without windscreen...
Happy dudes on the pontoon before a tunnel heat.
Eventual winner Christer Burström sneeks by the "sitting duck" of Mikael Sundgren.
Where did it go? ;)
Thomas Ljungström's HTB 260.
Christer Burström again - his HTB 290 was super good in the difficult conditions... but it's good when it's smooth water also...
Christer is passing Juha Honkanen's newly-fresh-from-paint Aquacraft VS1.
The K&B equipped VS1 of Micke was way too light for the conditions... It weights under 2 kg RTR. But with some taped down with duct-tape-left-over-hand-tools on the deck it was drivable... ;)
Mattias Bengtsson's TT Bandit does what it does best...
Torbjörn Carlson's good old Aquacraft TS2 looked good.
If U turn left like this... ;)
Christer Burström in action.
Sune Persson from the Eksjö is pulling a wheelie on the cross-wind straigh-away.
Sune in action again.
Fredrik Karlsson with his TT Bandit.
Christer Sjögren racing his Aquacraft VS1 with an according-to-him tired old OS...
Local dude Bengt Björkhage is back.
One of Bengt's riggers.
Anders Martinelle with one of his in-famouse pink riggers.
Mats Aldell is a new contestant for Let's Dance - LOL.
Nicklas Ericksson had a good weekend in hydro 15 cc and the tunnels.
Ellert's rigger is digging hard into the wet.
Fredrik Lundahl's Taipan 45 was the best 7.5 hydro today.
