Re: Goddard Kansa race
Just a quick update: As of today, we have "penciled in" 10 entries for AMA 424 on Saturday morning, 20 for AMA 426 on Saturday after 424, and 19 for AMA 422 (Q40) on Sunday. The weather forecast looks good. If you were on the bubble and can make it after all, please let us know as soon as you can an...

Re: It was an April fools prank.
I guess Kurt Bozarth has been busy lately ... but you've definitely met his high standards with this one! I thought maybe someone had made the model equivalent of a Ly-Con (Lycoming/Continental hybrid). Well done.

Re: April 8th eclipse.
Mazatlan would be perfect, but my wife and I found no affordable flights, and the resorts are probably still mopping up after that hurricane last year. The Texoma area looks promising, though.

Re: May 4th & 5th 2024 OJ Race
It's Tyler Dobbs. He's a good guy, but obviously has his hands full. I would definitely want something in writing from the FAA before doing an organized event, if it's going to happen after they start enforcing the FRIA/ID rules. There should be time between now and May to get a waiver or whatever t...

Re: 9x6E Prop for EF1 and 424E
Greg,
Those 8 x 8s aren't necessarily worthless. They seem to be pretty good for the E-Q15 airplanes I'm fooling with right now, so stay tuned ... oh, and merry Christmas! I think I see some fuel jugs under the tree!

Re: 2023 Mile High Champ Race update
+1 to what Scott said. Also, if you have dual aileron servos or can modify your setup, a flaperon function definitely helps for landing. I've found that just a little "droop" in the ailerons and (usually) a hair of up elevator trim mixed in will tame them quite a bit. Start small, use trial & error,...

Trey, EIGHT YEARS??!!?? :o I always thought the bylaws made you eligible for parole after 5 years, but that would've been during the pandemic so apparently we lost track. :wink: Anyway, thanks for getting us through that and all the other tribulations that have cropped up recently. We're blessed to ...

Thanks for the update, best wishes to Greg. Who knew "go in through the ribs with a robot" would be a phrase you'd hear in everyday conversation??
