The only electrics I use is my starter, but that's just me !! If you are gona drive from Houston Tx. just to fly in a classic pattern contest and all you have is an Electric airplane, you can FLY.
But ya have to put a tuned pipe on it !!!! HaHaHa......

Crashlander, It's not as far as you drove when you went to the Chattnooga contest !!! Hey Lil Dave and I flew in your contest last year its your turn for us to show you a good time..
Bring that Blue and white Arrow and lets fly some ole time pattern.
Lil David has a red /wht/black Arrow with a FIRE Rossi and spring air RT and you two could make some sweet music..

RE: CPA/ BPA contest 2011
I am planning on it. I have a new Bridi Escape with a YS 60 RE, retracts and tuned pipe I'd like to try out.
\I just googled the trip and doesn't look bad at all.
Making plans to go I'll see if I can get Crankpin to go along also.

I lost the Arrow when doing a spin. Elevator link came off the servo arm. I used a helicopter gadget that should not have come off, but it did. Lost engine, receiver, plane-totaled.
Bummer, I loved the airplane-it hurt when it went in.

RE: CPA/ BPA contest 2011
Look's like I've been drafted. Have to give my employer some notice, (my daughter). The #1 P-6 just need's a pull-pull on rudder, 61SF mounted, RTF. P-6 #2, waiting for paint, same power set-up. I have been trying AMA pattern. Been to a few contest's, another Focus waiting on paint, MIke Plummer gave me his after I put #1 Focus in the ground, all using YS power. Here is my problem, "Flying in the darn box". Don't do too bad, till the 1/2 Cuban 8, pull up make sure it is 45, and in the box, I hesitate for a second, then the plane is out of sight. Staying out and flying the straight line's, I just need to fly more.
