Re: AMA β€œ423” Q40 and AMA β€œ427” Q500 update?

Ha! Well, I fell for it too, I opened the post thinking 427 would be all electric Q40 with an F5D set up!

I should have known better!

Lol

Re: Lady Pylon Racers

It must have been 83' - 84' time frame....Jim Shinohara paid me $10.00 to go find one of Nancy's airplanes at Boarder Field in Chula Vista......She was very nice to me when I emerged from the swamp with her airplane!

Those were big contests back then. Great people, pretty airplanes.

Re: Longer course at the classic.

Think of all time, effort, equipment and people the lighting system requires. (With all due respect to those whom have spent a lot of time trying to perfect these systems) Just get rid of the lights. Use video cameras on each pylon. Race control reviews the video after the heat, points are subtracte...

Re: Electric 424 Q500

So, I have put some thought to the above mentioned format over the last few years. 1. 8 am to 12 noon, run 3 lap qualifying runs. You put your airplane in line, Indy 500 style.

Re: Electric 424 Q500

This motor was purchased about 5 years ago. Can anyone tell me if it has been revised since then? Or is it still the same configuration?

Thanks!

My Brother, Kevin, can bend some tin and weld with the best of them!

I am the odd one of the bunch that spent way too much time in the school house. He's the artist!

Re: Electric 424 Q500

Well, what goes in must come out....typically at a 3 to 1 ratio, or you loose efficiency and make cooling drag.

Dan's plan maybe the best way forward. Just stick the fins out in the wind and call it good.
