Scott, You are misinforming the community. The Speedworld RC Flyers doesn't have a newsletter. I suspect someone sent you the minutes for the recent club meeting. I have announced to the club that I am not going to CD the Winterfest and February QM Classic going forward. I've decided that CD'ing rac...

Despite rumors to the contrary, the Phoenix QM Classic is going forward. It has NOT been cancelled. Anyone who has not entered yet, we are still taking entries. Totals so far are in the mid 40's and just heard about a couple more so, get your stuff together and come join us!! Jim Allen 480-688-4789

Hello everybody, You'll see my post update about the Winterfest but, I wanted to make it very clear that, the Feb Phoenix QM Classic is pressing forward. We are looking forward to seeing everyone who can make it. The entries are coming in and hopefully this clarification will get some more to make p...

Hello, I know the word has been spreading but we wanted to give an update on the Winterfest weekend. Yes, we did cancel the event. Several racers made it in for practice on Thursday and a majority of the rest were here Friday. The weather was great and would largely continue through the weekend. The...

Hi everybody, Barrie Lever, the head of the FAI Pylon Sub-Committee is hosting a Zoom chat that he would like invite everyone to participate in, not just those who fly the FAI classes. It should be very interesting and hope we can get some good participation from the USA. The start time will be 3PM ...

Hi Kurt,

Please contact Roy and get entered. I doubt that we'll bump a limit but need to get a feel for how many we're going to have.

Jim

Please find posted here the race flyer/entry forms for the 2022 Phoenix Winterfest 426/EF1 race and the February QM Classic Q40 race. We hope to see many of you back to enjoy the warm Arizona weather again this year. The club is excited to host these events again after the year off in 2021. Entries ...

The Speedworld RC Flyers will be hosting the 2022 Winterfest Q500 426 and EF1, and the February QM Classic on the below dates: Winterfest, January 8-9 QM Classic, February 5-6 We had to move the QM Classic up one more week to get away from several events on the following weekend that would create to...

Dave, I can tell you Darwin's masterpiece is spectacular. Below is a link to a few pics of the plane on the Van's Aircraft site. The attention to detail is off the charts. It's too bad there isn't a top view and bottom view of the scheme in these pics. Congrats Darwin!! Well earned!! Jim Allen https...

Dennis, thanks for getting these videos posted. Very very cool. The first February F1 race held at the Pro-Flyers was in 1988. The '86 and '87 Feb races were held at a flying site in Mesa, on the east side of Phoenix. Based on several clues, the race in the video may have been the first one at the P...

Good comments so far. I'll chime in a bit with a few thoughts. Will start by thanking Mike and all of the team who put the week of the NATS together for us to come play. It's a long week that we're ready to have it over and head home by Friday but, a couple weeks later, we're looking forward to next...

After a ton of wrangling and looking at all factors, we have decided to also cancel the 2021 Phoenix QM Classic race. This is very unfortunate and we are very sorry but we believe its the right thing to do. We'll look forward to and will start planning 2022. Targets would be January 8-9 and February...

Offering deepest condolences to Dennis and the Cranfill family.

Jim and Debbie Allen

Mine got here Thursday as well. Thanks Lee and Doug. Lee, amazing job.

There is not a "lockdown" in AZ. Unfortunately, we do have an order by our Governor that requires that a permit be obtained for any organized event held in the state that will have over a certain number of people that we believe the Winterfest Q500/EF1 event would exceed. We found out about this req...
