E-F1: List of Recommended and Approved Components

[Jim Wolfe]

Hi Randy;
Thats what I suspected, but wasn't sure. I alredy have a couple of them which I ordered a while back, not thinking they might not be leagal. I can send an email to HK asking if they intend to do whats necessary to get the "new" version approved and see what happens. AT the worst, I can use these for practice and save my "good ?" motors for racing I'll need all my best stuff in top condition when hopefully, we can ressurect the UPRC here in Western NY and those "guys" from north of the border start coming down to try and beat on us!

Hi Jim It would be great to get UPRC going with the EF 1's. Ed and myself have been building and flying the F 1's for over a year now and having a blast. Also Rick and Corey are building planes as well but don't know if anyone else is down at Brantford.
Up here I am promoting EF 1 racing and hope to have some fun type racing at our club next year. There is some guys who have planes but have never raced before, so they would need help.
Keep in touch and PM me with your email address.

The list at the beginning of this post has been updated November 17, 2011 for the new approved OS Brushless Motor.

The list of Recommended and Approved components found at the link in Post #1 has been updated to include a $150 price cap on the ESC. This is in line with the 2012 approved rule set. The 2012 rules will be updated under Event Rules separately. This discussion forum functionality does not allow posting of .pdf files, so I can't post it here.

The E-F1 rules have been updated on Feb 09, 2012 to reflect a minor change to the wing attachment method found in Section C, paragraph 8.

The rules can be found by clicking on the RC Groups link found in Post #1 of this thread. This forum does not allow attachment of .pdf files.

Is there a list of approved designs for the EF1 class? I see the list of approved ARF's and kits.

Trey,
There is no official published list of approved designs. there are many.
I think Jerry Small and/or Dan Kane have their own list. I believe Jerry is one of the Design Approvers.

You would have to contact either these guys and see what they might have for documentation.
