Status: offline 		Hi Guys, If the wing has my name, can I claim the airplane as mine???? (kidding) The airplane is very nice. How bad is the paint? Bruce told me about the wing being quite stained. The fuse design is a lot nicer than my polecats!!!!


Best regards

Status: offline 		Julio, I liked your response to the pic, glad your not pissed at me using the wing, I will be happy to fly it as is if you don't mind, however I can paint over the name and number if it bothers you. I posted the photo to see how long it took for word to get around, ( didn't even tell Bruce ) did you see it yourself or were you told about it? The aircraft goes good! I hope Bruce can get a few of them over there racing.

I'm assuming you're one of the Harrod brothers...wich one are you? The one that went with a group of us to the night club in Sweden after the world champs or the other one?

Cool looking airplane!

Status: offline 		G'day Gary

Actually we both went to the night club that night, the van ride was a little rough.
I'm Karl the one that called for Bruce in Sweden. My brother Frank was on the Aussie team in 2003 & 2005.

Status: offline 		Ok Karl, I remember you going, but don't remember Frank going, but I'm not surprised considering the festivities that went on that night! The drive to the airport and the plane right home the next morning were a little rough, haha. Bundaberg was the last Champs I've been to, calling for Jaime from Mexico, although hopefully I'll be going to Germany next year

Lee, It's probably similar to the Polecat and Loki as far as moments. I think it's an optical illusion because the tail looks a bit larger than normal.

How long before we see a Q40 world champs?
The class seems to be getting very popular world wide, as well as the Phoenix race seems to be getting a lot of international competitors.

Status: offline 		We can have a Q40 Worlds as soon as someone host''s a contest. Just label it the "Q40 World Championships".... but don''t replace F3D with Q40. I too enjoy the struggles of F3D. Q40 is easy to do, and everyone can do it. It''s more gratifying to achieve something that is difficult, knowing that not everyone can do what you do. No amount of money can make you good in F3D. You can buy your way into eveything you need in Q40.
