Roy has been doing a great job of handling all the entries and we're looking good. Would like to see a few more in EF1 if anyone would like to fly both that and ...

Re: New 424 Engine Option

Re: New 424 Engine Option

Dave, The Jett 424 engine has been approved by the 424 Engine Committee. An Urgent proposal needed to be written to tweak the rules a bit to allow the venturi or a carburetor, as sold by the manufacturer, and to raise the maximum cost. That proposal has passed the vote as to whether the proposal sho...

Re: Phoenix area EF1 Series

Eric, Thanks for posting. These are great fun races. I wish I could have made more of them the past couple of years, especially since this beautiful field is 4 miles from our house. I am ashamed. I promise to get to at least a few this season. Seriously, these are the kind of local fun races we need...

I apparently misinterpreted the information I received that, an agreement was in place to allow us to use only our AMA number when, it is actually only agreed to "in principal" and that we "will be able to" use our AMA number instead of the FAA number when the agreement is final. F...
