Thank you gents!
Great data! I am thinking of a NACA duct (fiberglass) that could be mounted in the top of the front hatch.
Good, Good. I will press.
Cheers, Dave

Re: Electric 424 Q500
I will be modifying a Ricochet fus for this soon. A few questions: 1. What size and c rating battery produces the best results for the legal weight? (Wide open for the heat, land, and put no more 80% of the battery capacity back in) 2. Does the nose need to be lengthened? Battery all the way forward...

Re: EF-1
Well, I am stating the obvious, but there are no provisional rules, and Q40 is not an electric class. So, you probably won't find a CD willing to let you put it in a sanctioned contest. "Run what you brung" ant exactly what the NMPRA or AMA are into. But it would start just like EF-1, with set of pr...

Re: EF-1
I will try to remember to get some pics. My plane is a Caudren v1. I have a Neu Motors 1515/1.5y motor with a CC 130V ESC that I run 2700mah-3300mah 6s batteries. The plane has a hatch on the top to access the area that the battery goes into. I am, when I can, testing the draw on the batteries to f...

Re: 2021 426 points - UPDATED
I am paid for 2022 and I am 100% in support of the NMPRA and AMA.
BUT....Where exactly does it state in the NMPRA ByLaws or AMA Competition Regulation that you must be an NMPRA Member at the time of the contest to have the points awarded?
Thanks, Dave

Re: 2021 426 points - UPDATED
If you went to a contest, entered on the AMA form and your name was loaded into the matrix, why would the points not be on the list? I get the 5 pilots for AMA to consider it a contest, but if only 3 show up, the NMPRA can't track the points? Section 4.5 of the AMA Competition Regulations for Pylon ...

Having been involved in several full scale airplane projects, and been to Oshkosh to watch the judging first hand, I can tell y...
