Status: offline 		Thanks again Chuck, I just got on OS on my LA Racer, I hope it'll "Cut the mustard", if not I have my 424 motor right here. I MIGHT try to fly it this weekend, but we'll have to wait and see.

We do not have dates yet, but will be having races in Columbus, IN this year. Will be trying for one a month, unless some other clubs around here take it up (hint, hint).

I helped start the races in South Central Texas. Can come to your club and/or field with planes, equipment and info. Club 40 is now pretty standardized, although there are some differences being used around the country.

Be glad to come down. Your weather is probably a bit better than here.

You would seem to be able to keep with them after some practice, but there are a number of participants who still have a lap, or more, to go after the guy finished at 1:30.

Status: online 		Try 428 on a 400ft 2 pole course!!! Talk about setting your hair on fire!

Jason D. did it at our waco race and it was IMPRESSIVE!!!

We seem to be getting many more pilots interested in Q-25 around here. Looks like we might have a race "Down South" in the near future!
