CAPS Races including Moon Shot flyer error

Post by iamtom »

Hi All, I found an error on my Race Flyer for the Moon Shot Race in June . All CAPS races allow the Evo 40 and the Thunder tiger 40 as well as the Jet 426 motor with the conversion kit from Dub Jett.
The flyer says only Thunder Tiger and Evo. Please be advised.
We have been giving these 4/4 conversion kits as prizes for the last several years. This way you can fly both 424 and 426 with same plane and engine.

Tom, You said you allow the Evo .40. Did you mean to say the Evo. .46?

Kevin I’ve seen 424e widely accepted the last 3yrs (prolly more) at all CAPS races. Come out and fly.

I just spoke to Tom, and I am going to add clarity. The following pertains to all CAPS races.

424 events will allow the following:

TT .40 PRO
EVO .46 (approved version)
Jett motor with the conversion kit (red venturi and red short pipe)
All three motors will run the same 9x6 APC prop as normal.

Composite airplanes are allowed.

Electric powered planes will be flown in the same heats as IC engines. Electric power package is the same as EF-1 and those rules will be followed. ALL 424E models will use the APC 9x6E prop.

IF you have additional questions let me know.

Yes Greg. It should be Evo 46.
