Re: New ARF Proud Bird

Thanks for the update Jim! Fed-X delivered mine yesterday. Squeezed all the juice out of PB1 - Time to retire it.

Re: Ben and Carolyn Martin Fall Classic

Doesn't happen to me very often (ever). Glad to post the result :D. Many thanks to all of CAPS, the pilots, and Adam O.

Sorry I didn't get 424, EF1. Hopefully someone will post soon.

Re: FAI format used at the CAPS Indy shoot out

Yep, thanks again to Tom M. Dan K. and all the organizers. Like others, I think the equipment worked well. The needle moving changes need to happen in the process. Below are some observations • Getting the buggy to and from the line continues to be opportunity for improvement. Pilots need to get the...

Re: Muncie, May EF-1/424

Oh those are good ideas too. We used to run three events on on Saturday. Made for a long day, but doable. So your saying make an extra matrix for FAI testing? If so, option 1 invite the FAI folks to Muncie in May, Option 2 fly QM40 for testing…M2C.

Re: Muncie, May EF-1/424

Is it too late to use the pylon school date for a mini contest?

I have no real opinion. I’m happy to matrix fill a 424 and maybe EF1 if I take the corn stalks out of the wing.

Uhm..would the FAI style count as NMPRA points?

Re: Longer course at the classic.

When I think of other high-level competitions such as NFL, NHL, NBA, and the most recent Superbowl, there's always going to be a bad call at some point during the game. I don't think technology or rule changes will ever solve bad or missed calls without severely slowing down the game. I have that sa...
