Re: Tocci Stiletto CG

I don’t remember who the gentleman is that’s on the far left back row. However I do know that none of these planes were painted in the mold and that they all had wood propellers. I wonder if the less work of carving propellers and painting airplanes coincides with our weight gain?

Re: Composite Airframes 424

This is very good news. But also a sad reality that the builders are vanishing and very few new racers are willing to learn building techniques. Instant gratification is a disease that has destroyed our hobby. We need our shop teachers back!

We are aware of the November 1st deadline. We would like a bit more time to iron out some details with prospective West Coast Clubs. If we can, we would like the deadline extended until 01/01/20.
