Re: Too Sweet wing$tail.

I have a belly pan, just need a wing and stab. The plane is red/orange and white although it doesn’t really matter what color the wing is. If I can get him in the air and racing, then he can buy a new plane if he wants.

Thanks

Too Sweet wing$tail.

I’m trying to get another racer into the air for a friend. Does anyone have a spare wing or tail sitting around? As along as it’s fixable, slightly damaged would be fine.

Thanks

Looks like mid 70’s during the day, low 50’s at night and some California sunshine!!

Re: Basin Q40 Classic: Remembering Clarence and Peggy Lee

Great News!!!!! 1.....I took a couple photos yesterday and the field is in the best shape I've ever seen it. All the rain created some grass and the park service came in a mowed it. Besides the mowing, they did quite a bit of clearing in the general area including removing all the homeless camps and...

Re: Basin Q40 Classic: Remembering Clarence and Peggy Lee

Hi Ray I did look up the Florida race from 2022 to stay away from that weekend, but the Whittier race has been the same weekend or the following for several years now and I haven't heard of it being a "Race Killer". Unfortunately one of my key players that I depend on to run my event wasn't availabl...

First goal on the list was to have a race as close the the Phoe...

Re: NELSON Q-40 AVAILABILITY

At the Champ Race this year, I was lucky to have enough time and be invited to visit where our engines are made. I was in shock at the amount of work that goes into cleaning up the case, chroming the sleeve, honing and fitting a piston to the sleeve, find the proper fitting head, putting those silly...
