Default Schneider Cup Races

(Trivia, the Italian Macchi set a record of 0ver 430 mph in 1930, that still stands for a prop seaplane).

Don't forget about the Schneider Cup re-enactments that took place in Lake Havasu City, AZ from 1989 to 1992. This too was 1/3 and 1/4 scale RC airplanes. There is a group of RC enthusiasts who want to see these re-enactments again.
