Status: offline 		I'm trying to find a site that has concise definitions of the various pylon categories. Q-500, Q-40??? Does electric have it's own category designation?

Status: offline 		Other than FAI F5D, there is not very much organized electric racing currently going on in the U.S.

At this point, we do not have a forum for electric racing, those questions / answers would be found in the General Pylon Racing Sub-Forum this post is in.

Status: offline 		At the moment we have two q-500 classes 424, 428.
424 is the starter class you have to use a spec engine and have to use a foam core wing, speeds are 110-130mph range.
428 is the "Open" class composite wings and some fuse's are the norm. Nelson, Profi and Jett engines are made just for this class of racing 170-190mph. the Q-500 is close to an "Ugly Stick" design, most use a v-tail.

Q-40, or 422 are full aircraft, the look tike Mustangs, and other "Reno" style racers. Again engine are built for the class, 200+mph. These planes are a 10+ on the "Cool factor", and when 3 or 4 of them come around pylon 1 and unload, its pure music.

I understand you question of classes, I didn't know them either until after I was told I was racing the 428s.

I see you are listed as a Minnesotan. If you are interested in Racing RC Planes, you are in a pretty good place, but no electrics are raised in the Twin Cities that I am aware of. I'd join in, if there was.

Lots of info on our racing in Brooklyn Park at www.ncplracing.org
