Just wanted to let everyone know that on the home page under the racing tab are all the specs for the classes. The only change is in the Dogfighter class with 10x7 prop.

There is thermal lift at the field I have found it on several occasions with various aircarft. One time I had to land because I had to go home. 

 April 14th works for me too. I had a great experience last year at the Woodland races and encourage anyone to give it a try.

Hi Racers !
            Want to thank Adam and Wylie for testing the new prop set up for Dog Fighter class. So we are going to run the 10X7 APC prop for Dog Fighter class. This change was to encourage a few that were on the fence about racing in Dogfighter. The goal is participation in all classes and if a prop change is what it takes I am all for it. Adam and Wylie purchased some 10X7 props that will be available Sunday morning.

      Thanks

   The races will be on the 3rd  Sunday of the month

Racers !
             I will make another attempt to get this posted, the last couple of times did not work so well. Ok this is the breakdown with some provisions.

        T-28/Corsair
                           There has been some concern about airframe and motor. Some of you have been already racing the new motor this past season with little or no difference to the outcome of the race. The newer motor can be purchased at Jake’s . The airframe and parts will still be available through this year.
           
          Reno-450
                          This is a tough one, most of the planes we race in this class will no longer be available. At this point there should be enough to get us though the race season. We are looking for a new platform that would accommodate the motor and radio gear we use now.

          Dogfighter
                           At the end of this last season there was only one Dogfighter left. I thought it would be easy not to have DF  this year but it seems there is still interest in racing this class. I don’t want to leave anybody out . My provision would be that we slow them down a little to make it more appealing as a step up class to EF-1. We may gain a few more people in this class.  It  was the same three racers  most of the year, I would like to see more. Lets race them, if attendance dwindles we will make change at that time. Maybe EF-1 lite. It is EF-1 on a 3-cell, it works well. Just a thought.

           EF-1
                  No change
   
     So it will be 1 season with 4 heats this allows a person a better chance to catch up if you miss some races. T-28, Reno-450, Dogfighter, EF-1

 All comments welcome.

      Wow is right!  Red let me whip the wheel on Invictus, from takeoff to landing the plane was on rails!
      I have flown some of his other designs and they all fly great, but this one is exceptional. Thanks for letting me fly it Red

Hi Racers !
            Want to welcome everyone back to another great season of racing!  I will put forth my best effort to make things run smoothly. This will happen with help from Red , Tony and the rest of our racers.
          First we need to determine what we will be flying this year, to make it fair, please cast your vote.
As far as EF-1 goes, there are more ARFs on the market now and the price has come down some. I had a thought for a class, it would be to mod the EF-1 to run slower for those of you that want the faster speeds. It could be as simple as a prop change or battery.
             I believe this would give the aircraft multi purpose, if later, you want to go faster  (and who dosn't want that) it can be done with a simple change. My two cents.
   
     Thanks
