Let's give the single matrix a chance this year, and if the majority doesn't like it, go back to the preliminary/finals format next year. Personally I like the one matrix format for the Nats. Then I would like to see that followed with a trophy dash of the top 7 based on time. The three slowest pilo...

The Unlimited Class doesn't have a fuselage height rule!

+1 to Scotty's message. I too will miss Barry.

I've been able to call Mike a friend for almost 50 years. To say that he was a very special person is actually an understatement. His kindness touched many of us in the pylon community. This is a very busy time for the family. Keep them in your prayers. At some later date an obituary might be posted...

Tom, Adam had to call me to have Brad call him, so I got some first hand info from Adam. Unless I misunderstood, the wind dislodged it to some lower branches, but the climber Adam sought for help, still had to climb the tree. That's why some $.$$ changed hands, but in the end it was a reasonable pri...

Adam Oswald got some help to get Brad Clayton's Q40 out of the tree. From the pictures Adam sent Brad, it looks repairable.

Tim, Thanks for all the pictures.

OK Dan, I wasn't talking about the race being called on Saturday because of the miserable weather. That was obviously the correct call. I was talking about Sunday. I fully agree that the workers need a break, but why can't we have relief workers to fill in for lunch breaks, so racing is uninterrupte...

A lot of positive comments here. I could make some negative observations, but I won't. Well there is one comment I will make. Why haven't the results been posted? The Fred Burgdorf Memorial race was this past weekend, and the results were posted Monday. Here's a suggestion: How about prorated refund...

Aren't EF1 and 424 supposed to be the entry level events? We know they wouldn't exist if it weren't for the support of the main stream racers, but there are a few newbies in these events. Let's not burden these events with major rules changes, only to change back at the next contest. I vote no. Let ...

So if we use FAI scoring will we only fly 10 laps, and then there will be a 10% penalty for the first cut?

Dan, Interesting that you have chosen 424, and EF1 to check out PLATE in FAI mode? How about 426, and 422? My preference is for it to still be head to head racing. Here's my question: If the finish in a heat is close, could the airplane that took off third close the gap on the airplane that took off...

The release date of this breaking news sounds suspicious? 4-1-2022
DK, Thanks from Grandpa.

OS 7M carburetor has to be modified. I believe it's a helicopter carb, because it has mid-range adjustments. Shadel did one for me. You can try it, or trade for a OS 60 carburetor that will work in my now worthless donor engine. Once modified it will no longer work in the original engine.

THANK YOU!
