| So I figured that we need to have a single thread dedicated to Aquino Tank Fest Weekend! Images (links to image folders), Videos, etc... to go here.
The weather currently looks PHENOMINAL! (Sunny and 19° highs Friday-Sunday, Lows of 10-12°)
I'll be bringing my usual assortment of repair and refit tools and components. A few tanks (I may even get to drive my own tanks this year), plus the Toothless Tiger for people to drive around. Going to be starting the battery charging tonight. 5 batteries at a time...

| I have been charging batteries since Sunday! LOL! 3 more sleeps! Yes, the weather looks like the best weekend of the year so far! Just warm enough for the squirt gun LAV.! There will be a few surprises from me on the field this year both in Tanks and field accessories... Victor's KT almost done... hope he likes them mean and dirty... And yes, please, everyone take lots of pics and video especially of us on our field. I need to revamp all our postings, ad, promo, etc... with something fresh so looking forward to seeing peoples input. I will have a few club T's with me if anyone is interested... _____________________________________________ "There are things in Russia which are not as they seem..." Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov

| Hi Guys, Well a great all round weekend with all my tank buddies and friends! Thank you all so, so much for coming and supporting the club. I think every year we get bigger and better! We basically had a full battle afternoon Friday with a lot of people out that really made the set up much more easy! I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to my partners in crime Ed and Norma for dragging their trailer down to make the field set up look as good as it did. A BIG THANK YOU too to Chris for coming with his lawnmower to help me mow down the hay field to an operational level! Plus for bringing his new "factory" generator so we could have power at the field for smokers and for charging batteries...A thank you to Big Mike, Karen, and to the boys for doing such a great job of figure placement and soft skin vehicle dispersal. Good job boys! MikeC, Derek and Scout, Cindy also great help in the initial set up! Thanks to all for conversing the the general public and showing off your hard work in your hobby. We had over 20 turned out on Saturday and decided to do a group shot that we haven't done in a long time. There is a lot of hardware on that field! Over 60 tanks!!! I'm sure more pics and comments to follow! _____________________________________________ "There are things in Russia which are not as they seem..." Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov

| It was great to see everyone again. Thank you Chris for the batteries... (We used the smaller on in my Sherman, worked great!)
Got to test Just's upgraded JP for functionality. Worked great! Got to upgrade Vic's KT to a Tamiya Apple. Flawless function. Discovered the IR emitter needs replacing on my KV-1. Booo Sherman worked fine (Despite the KV sounds due to the clark board) and maybe dragging in a new Tanker with it. Angrymonkey is now already looking at future upgrading for battles! Yay!
Notes: Saturday was busy as hell in the afternoon! While I tried to get all the World of Tanks guys out to play with our RC's it didn't fully happen (there were 8-10 of them). However Sunday we did get to do a video showcasing Can/AM RC Tank club that will be mentioned on their NA videos. One of their "Community Contributors" drove a tank around for 10 minutes or so on the field (Vic's KT). |
