Status: offline 		Doug,
We are on the same side and I believe we are on the same page. I think I pretty clearly stated that I was talking about a "mistake" by a Novice pilot. NOT an intentional modification by an experienced racer.
Is this a "double standard"? I really don't think so. I consider it as giving an inexperienced pilot a break...something I think we would all do.
And I also said I would require the problem to be fixed before the next race.

Yes, your meaning was quite transparent.

Gunfighter

We certainly are on the same page. I understand your intent and agree with it.

Plus it would also come to a money event, the one who can afford the best wins. Shoot I just hope to afford the gas just to get to Kingsbury this weekend.

I bought a la racer at 2nd chance today. Now I need a gs 40. There out of stock everywhere. If anyone has a good gs40 I could buy,
I sure could use one. I could get the tt40, but I want to run the novice class. I'm hoping someone in the san antonio, austin area might have one. Send a pm if anyone can help.

Mark

It doesn't look like I'm going to be able to reach into another genre of this hobby; just too many things going on right now.

I have a brand new unbuilt red Viper for someone who is interested in 424. Come by and pick it up. I live in SW Austin.
$75


BTW: about 3 weeks to the 424 Kingsbury race - you have plenty of time to get this bird ready!

That Strega is a great racer for RCPRO Warbird racing. If you look at the World Standing for RCPRO Warbird racing below, In Gold 1st and 4th are Phoenix Stregas, Silver 1st 2nd and 5th are PM Stregas and in Bronze, 2nd 3rd and 4th are all Stregas.

I thought I'd pass this on. This is a race report sent to me from Lyman Slack of the North/Central Florida Club 40 group. They are still going strong and having a great time it appears. I miss racing with them.
