Re: Electric 424 Q500
How about a contest like this………… A team race with one seasoned expert and a new pilot on each team with both of their scores combined.

Re: Electric 424 Q500
Around ten years ago at Whittier Narrows the San Gabriel Radio Control League was running EF-1 and 424 on a 400’ course. This is the same course that we ran California Quickie on in the late 1970s to the mid 1980s. This was the AMA QM short course. We ran these races for several seasons. The 400’ co...

Re: Name that plane...

Re: Electric 424 Q500
I watched Danny Kane race a Scat Cat which is a forty year old design against 424 Quickies at the Tangerine. The electric Scat Cat was just as fast as the 424 Quickies for seven laps and then it would slightly slow down for the remaining three laps. Personally I was very impressed with what I saw, e...

This was done at a time when many of the airframes were not as rigid as they are today, the front of the engine mount was rarely tied down and the use of the remote needle valve was not common. We have evolved to the po...

Re: Nipples
Since we are on the ongoing topic of nipples.......
Did you hear about the 500 Indians that were born without nipples?
They call them “The Indian-nippleless-500”.
