rc ship battles....

someone was talkin about rc planes. i seen this link off that video and thought i would post this video.

Yep, been doing it for a long time now....

You watch that video from 92? Me, too.

You have to wonder what being hit by one of those BB's (more like ball bearings) feels like. They have eye protection, but taking one on the forehead seems like it would be a wee bit painful.

I was walking around a pond that someone was doing that in (apparently they didn't see me?). By the sound the BB's made hitting the reeds near me, those BB's where moving pretty fast.

I heard that your ex-wife was pretty angry. Are you sure they were BB's?

How do they figure out who wins?

Just like real battles: Above water = win

The video had a convoy escort scenario, so getting the convoy to it's destination was the goal.

Much like the RC planes, I think they would be a bit more realistic / interesting if the ships where slowed way down so they where a bit closer to scale speed. They way they are are now, the scale speed of some seems to be around 100 knots!
