When I raced my BC Ashley at the 2020 Mike Tallman Legacy race it was going good. I had planned to race it at the Nat's this year, but couldn't get good engine runs. I tried all kinds of things including a new fuel tank, some troubleshooting the needle system with the help of Jim Allen, changed the ...

Thanks Mike and all for the opportunity to give input. Regarding the length of the day and in the interest of saving time, one thing that quickly came to my mind was lunchtime practice sessions. I am almost always one to take advantage of the opportunity, but contrarily, lunchtime seems to stretch o...

I'm not asking for advice or numbers, I'm just wondering if anybody else noticed a change in the weather conditions on Friday at the Nat's. Seems the weather prior to Friday was pretty good (regarding engine performance), but on Friday, specifically between the preliminaries and the finals (or a few...

I have much respect for pilots of the days when you had to carve your own props, build models mostly from scratch to a high level of finish (for starting order), have the right engine guy modify your engine, etc., etc. I think getting into pylon may be easier now than ever with 15% nitro fuel, somew...
