I am starting this thread to replace the thread that was in progress.

Dan,

I am glad you took on the 424 cause ... the conversations that you, I, and others had participated in, and the poll I posted on RCU showed that it seemed to be a worthy topic. You are to be commended for your efforts.

I am for the engine list.

I am not in favor of the composites rule. However, I have a vested interest in allowing all molded composites in 424, since PylonWorld.com will soon be selling an all molded composite Q-500. This is a domestically produced version of a Q-500 that is also going to be available from Kangke Industrial at an even lower price, and slightly lower quality. Kangke's version will use similar construction to the F3D/30 that they already produce, but with some of the squawks addressed (like glass on both sides of the wing skins instead of just the outside, and a epoxy fuselage that is taped or seamless). I expect the Kangke retail price to be under $200.

I have been working with new techniques for producing composite wings and tails and my new (currently proprietary) methods greatly reduce the production effort and cost.

My Feedback: (3)

That had been a very productive thread. I would like to know why it was censored. Was it because it had generated too much interest in 424? Maybe we need a NEW form just to champion 424.

Regis,

The reason it was removed is in the thread http://www.rcuniverse.com/showthread...16&forumid=111

I too wish that it had not been removed..

The deleted topic seemed to have two sub-topics being discussed:

1) 424 at the Nats (Yes/No) and how rules changes affect the probability.

2) Rules changes and how they affect attracting and keeping new pilots.
