Re: 2022 NMPRA final points standings - all classes
Now is a good time to renew your NMPRA membership. That's the only way to insure that your race points are counted. There were a few persons that may have lost points due to not renewing on time.
Thank you if you participated. Let's make 2023 even better!

Re: Are Q40 Nelson and Jett motor mounting dimensions the same?
Gary James and I compared the weight of his Jett with 2" spinner with my Nelson with Nelson Spinner. Gary's Jett was 1 ounce lighter.
Jett now has a lighter muffler that is available. If you have the new muffler this combo is about 1.75 ounces lighter.

Re: Are Q40 Nelson and Jett motor mounting dimensions the same?
The Jett and Nelson engines fit interchangeably in the mounts.
The Jett engine is lighter than the other. Therefore balancing will have to be done after making a change. The difference is from 1 to 2 ounces, depending on muffler and spinner options.

Re: Nelson/Aero Q40 LS break-in?
Below are the key items I do when breaking in an engine: 1. Put on a light propeller such as a 7.4 x 7.5 carbon fiber APC. 2. Fill the bladder tank with fuel insuring there is no air. 3. Open the needle valve around 4 turns. 4. Start the engine and lean the needle valve to run about 17,000 rpms. Shu...
