We'll be determining the class line-up at the next board meeting.

  Hello,

  At the last Board meeting we did decide on Two  of the classes. We will be keeping the T-28/F4U
class and the Reno 450 class. We will be racing the same rules as before with the exception of Props
in the Reno 450 Class. We will be Using a one size prop for the class to keep the racing nice and tight
and slowing the class down a bit for the guys that want to jump up into the next class.
  As for the third class it will most likely come down to a vote for the two popular choices. Hopefully we will get those narrowed down for the next meeting but will probably be between The Dogfighter from Multiplex and Electric Formula 1.
  Today's board meeting was postponed until next Tuesday so we will have to wait one more week.

Peace out

Well I hope everyone would like to try the formula 1 class!? Jacob and myself are interested in traveling to other clubs and racing. It would be cool to take this part of our hobby to the next level. I purchased the Eflite shoestring from JPH. It looks racey.

Tony,

Steve and I are planning on flying our EF-1's on Sunday, can you make it? Woodland has already scheduled a EF-1 race for May, and a couple of other clubs are working on them too.

Part of the attraction for me is racing at other clubs as well. Looking forward to it.

Glad to hear that the classes are getting narrowed down, good work. As far as slowing down the Reno 450, what size prop are we going to use? Is this the only modification to the class?
