NMPRA

Don't forget the North. Anyone in Canada-aye want to make a bid? Would love to see the possibility Hi Chago, I have always thought it would be great to host a NMPRA Champ race here in Calgary but we just do not have a field that is suitable. It's OK for a district race but the NMPRA champ race and ...

Looks good Hank and Tom. I notice that the light comes on when you break the plane of pylon #1 and stays on for the time you are past the pylon. This gives the caller a good indication of how far past the pylon the plane flew. Is lap counting now functional too? Laps and P1 could reduce six to eight...

Doug Houston will attend.

Hi Barry, I live in "Kauffmann-land". I can confirm that is a good idea from a heat perspective. The systems in Muncie and Phoenix have had some trouble with heat. White is a good idea, although you may want to confirm that you still have acceptable visibility of the LED's using the white background...

Yes, the Miss Dara's shipping from Nitroplanes are now updated with the strong CF wing tube. All is well.

Here is what the E-F1 rules state: From Section C, Pre-flight Inspection of Aircraft 3) Servos controlling the pitch and roll functions shall be of adequate strength for the weight and speed of the aircraft.
