Hey guys,
With combat making a sort of resurgence at the club & my pending move. I thought someone might be interested in my Battle Axe nitro combat plane. It has a Magnum .15BB engine that was purchased new and only just broken in, less than 15 4 oz. tanks I would guess. The plane needs the tail boom glued in, other than that throw radio in it and go.
I did a few mods to this plane that added significantly to it's performance. First, I lightened it up quite a bit by removing sections of the foam wing sheeting. Then I added some substantial wing tips which reduced the wing loading and increased the aspect ratio. Next I added some length to the tail boom and a dorsal fin for more tail volume. This made for a fantastic combat platform! I can easily say that this plane was a cutting machine and out performed the rest by a wide margin!!
Sorry I don't have pics right now but I can take some tonight.
Hows $50?

Well the Woodland race is in the books. It was extremely windy Saturday and much better today, with only about 10 kts. straight down the runway. I think the wind scared some folks off, the turnout was pretty light. WCF was very well represented though, with 3 pilots on Saturday and 5 today! It was also great to see other club members Chuck McDonald, Jake Boatman, Wylie Walters, John Reade & Julio Alvarez also show up for some moral support. Julio was taking lots of video, and Jon had his helmet mounted GoPro, so we should have some great video soon!
Saturday:
Huge congratulations to Tony McDonald who won, Jake McDonald 3rd & fast time, & Jon Stychno 4th.
Sunday:
I was able to take first & fast time, Steve Cole and John Stychno were tied for 3rd, so that came down to a fly off. Steve was able to take the win for 3rd, Jon 4th.
So all in all a spectacular weekend of racing. I know Jake and Wylie expressed interest in giving it a shot, so hope to see them out there soon. 3 pole racing is a blast!

Incredible build! It's nice to see someone tackle the articulated gear correctly. In a couple of the shots the angle from the front looks off, but I hope it works out. Fantastic stuff. I've been wanting to do something with a Moki radial for a while.

All,
The regular April monthly WCF Pylon race will be moved up one week from April 21st to April 14th. This is due to a competing event April 20th & 21st that the Woodland/Davis club is holding, as a high number of our regular participants will be attending this race. Racing will resume according to the normal schedule with the May race.
