Re: Your latest creation

For Denver. Hoping for clear flying lanes as my plane builder is getting a bit tired of building new Q40 ships when two of us try to occupy the same point in three dimensional space...

Re: RealFlight EF1 Courses and Planes

Thanks Don. I've gotten pretty good at nailing pylon 2 with the Endeavor on your course! In actual racing I fly higher than the pylon so this isn't going to happen - hopefully! RealFlight complains about the Little Toni. Says it's based on a model I don't have... Which model did you base it on? The ...

Re: The new version Solid White Outrageous EF1 by TWM

Don, I'm sure we all appreciate the explanation but it still seems to me to be asking a lot. The reason they still have inventory of EF1 planes is probably two fold: 1. People had bad experiences with the original kits - wings folding, poor flying, etc... - and have moved on to other ARFs or to buil...

Re: Lightweight Pilots for EF1 and other planes

Don,

I'll pass as none of the EF1 planes that I own which have clear canopies need any ballast (they're actually over weight) but I appreciate the offer

Re: The new version Solid White Outrageous EF1 by TWM

I would prefer to support World Models by purchasing an Estrellita ARF rather than another Scarlet Screamer... They should be selling sufficient Spitfires and T-34's as well as other models to allow them to bring the Estrellita to market without expecting the EF-1 racing community to run them out of...

Re: Estrellita EF1 / Shark EF1

Yes, it was I who ordered the glow plug caddy yesterday. Hoping to mount it to the flight box that my Uncle is building for me. He's the woodworker, not me - I just mash sticks and bury airplanes into the ground these days :)

Re: Estrellita EF1 / Shark EF1

Don, Appreciate the update. If I might suggest focusing on the cowls and wheel pants and that those who have Estrellita/Shark kits either have the plastic turtle deck or can skin the turtle deck (Mark sells a kit with this option). The Estrelitta I just finished was surprisingly tail heavy-ish so I ...

Re: NewB

I use a hard hat. Other folks use a bike helmet, batting helmet, etc... I imagine a Hockey helmet is fine. The idea is that whatever's on your head will give you a little protection if an airplane gets loose and impacts your grape. If for some reason the contest director has a problem with it then s...
