five (5) laps is the winner); or by time (for example, whoever
is leading at the end of two (2) minutes is the winner).
THE WAITING GAME
If your U-18 Miss Vegas Hydroplane should happen to stall or
capsize, water currents will slowly carry it to shore. The bad
news is that the boat could be carried to the opposite shore.
Keep variables like wind direction and size of the lake in
mind when surveying areas to run your boat,
It is not advisable to run R/C boats on any free-flowing bodies
of water such as creeks or rivers.
HELPFUL TIP
Use a fishing rod with at least 12 lb. line and a tennis ball tied
to the end to retrieve a stalled or capsized model boat.
GOOD LUCK AND GREAT BOATING!
