RE: New AMA class racer Indoor pylon
I think that an outdoor park class racer is an excellent idea. The original 1811-2000Kv power-system and the GWS prop or APC outdoors would make for some great racing on a 200' (2) pylon course. I believe that the total power-system and radio equipment cost is around $40. The 2S 460 batteries are only $5 ea. Hobby City is a dangerous site to visit if you are an airplane enthusiast.
I think if there is an indoor facility that can be used that is as big as the one they flew at this week, then it would also be a great indoor event as well. I know that dad has ordered a new 5gr motor & some props to try to slow it down to fly in a gym. With some minor rules to govern it, it could be a great way to keep us northern boys flyin through the winter and on those nice calm summer nights if you can get permission to fly on the ball diamonds under the lights.
