    Default Vintage Outboard Racing with R/C models

    In November 2010 I have organized a new r/c model racing class in Germany for vintage outboard racing models of the 1930s to 1950s. It's called "152VO" (short for "Vintage Outboard models in the scale 1:5,2"). Last weekend we had our first competition with participants from Germany and Switzerland:

    We're looking for more members in every country. Our website (www.152vo.org) is only available in German at the moment, but we're hoping to get an English version soon. Meanwhile Google translator may help. We also have a bilingual channel on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/152vo. We'll add videos of our last meeting and of our new boats within the next few weeks.

    We're still looking for more original raceboat plans (e.g. SidCraft, Fillinger, Van Pelt, Switzer, Jacoby, etc.) - maybe anyone here can help us?!

    Hope you'll enjoy the photos!
    Regards from Germany, Jo
