Re: Kane's EF-1 at the Nats

Dan,

Nice to hear that both the Shark and Estrellita will be available as ARF's. Can you share any other details about them at present??

From the photos and news letters it looks like it was a very busy and enjoyable Nats this year! Hope I can make it next year!

Chris

Re: Nats 2016

I have been reading the newsletters. They included the final standings sheet for 424 in the newsletter published on the 18th and for 426 in the newsletter published on the 20th but not the standings sheet for EF1 which was in the newsletter published on the 19th. As this is the class I race in I'm d...

Re: Nats 2016

Don't suppose anyone who was there snapped a photo of the final EF1 results? The Nats Newletter for the 19th which covered EF1 didn't include it...

Thanks!

Cobra EF1 Motor

I bought a couple of the Cobra EF1 motors last week and tested one today. The motor weighs a bit more than the Rimfire motor I replaced it with - 10g to be precise. Nose weight can be an issue on some models so this is something to be aware of. Performance seemed good. The bolt on prop adapter is so...

New version of Rimfire EF1 motor - Approved???

Seems to be a new variation of the already approved Rimfire motor. Is it also approved?

Thanks,

Chris

2016 Nats - Question

Am kicking around the idea of going to the Nats this year. I can take a few days off to do this but not enough to make the drive there and back. I'm wondering if any of you who are planning to go from the west coast might happen to be planning your route through Reno? If so and and are willing to tr...

Re: Oakdale EF1, Q500, T-34 and .46 Warbird Race May 14/15

What a great weekend of racing! Great competition in both two and three pole EF1!!! Wind was a bit challenging but the EF1 pilots managed to get in four rounds of three heats each on both days with only one crash. Hopefully Joe or someone else who took a photo of the results sheet will post it short...

Re: EF1 Racing in Fresno this weekend!

I guess Joe took the results down. Here's my photo of the score sheet from the event.

LOTS of carnage this weekend. Quite a few EF1 and T-34's saw their last day in the sun.

Re: EF1 Racing in Fresno this weekend!

Not such a good weekend for me. Cut out of round one and in round four Rick Culver decided to occupy the same piece of airspace I was in during the flying start. I finished the heat but cut out. Left my Proud Bird looking like this. Rick's Miss Dara wasn't so lucky. The impact destroyed a wing prett...
