RE: Japanman
it took a few races for the guys to get it going.. it looks like it is a blast. I have not raced in it yet. the planes are a bit bigger than the 200's and looked slower in the first two races. at the last race they were going faster and now look like it will be a fun class. engines are cheap. which is the draw over the 1/2a and we fly the same course. I guess the idea is to buy the cheapest .15 you can get new and race it. engine mod's are ok..so I am interested. my plane is ready to cover but I have not reworked the engine yet. seems the legal ones are the Magnum and ASP. both are workable and cheaper than the 1/2a's. the plane being a bit easier to see for my old eyes is a draw also. Great to see you survived that damn earthquake over there. Thinking about rods and cranks again lol

RE: Japanman
the idea is to run cheap available engines so everyone can buy what others are running. they decided to only allow cheap ones. the current OS is not legal or any older 1/4midget stuff like the rossi, conquest, or similar. Have to use the muffler that comes with the engine but you can modify the engine to hearts content.
keeps costs down is the idea and the airframe is not restricted except for the 300sq wing rule. promotes design rather than anal rules on everything like in club 40.
the magnum 15 xls and the asp are really what they want you to use as anyone can afford them. fuel and prop not restricted. race held each month with 8 scheduled each yr/ makes it worth building for it. Point standing is the idea. Here is a link to the group. rules are in there somewhere for the e-200 and the 15-300s. 1/2a glow was discontinued this yr because of engine costs to be competitive. some vids are there too. not sure if any pics or vids of the 300's yet
