Hello All,
SAM (Sacramento Area Modelers) will be hosting the 2014 Trashman/YS Classic on September 20th and 21st.

I am starting a new thread for this race so that everything associated with it can be discussed here. I have attached the flyer and would recommend everyone pre-register since this is going to be huge. In talking with the CD I have found that there will be the following prizes in addition to the purse in the classes.

Gold Class - the purse will be split between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. There will also be a YS 1.15 given away to the pilot who finishes in 1st place for the event. APC also added $300 for the gold pilot who has the fastest clean time without breaking out in an individual heat.

Silver Class - the purse will be split between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. There will also be a YS 1.15 given away to the pilot who finishes in 1st place for the event. APC also added $200 for the silver pilot who has the fastest clean time without breaking out in an individual heat.

Bronze Class - the purse will be split between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. There will also be a YS DZ .70 given away to the pilot who finishes in 1st place for the event. APC also added $100 for the bronze pilot who has the fastest clean time without breaking out in an individual heat.

I'm sure that JR (THE TRASHMAN) will post more about the awesome sponsors as details come available for for now I would like to add a huge thank you to YS parts and service and APC for their generous support.

I heard about the cash prize the other day and that is awesome and will help make this grow into a large event. maybe we can make a 3 day event for 2016... Just kidding JR What might be good though is to have a 2 day even for the first race and then the two day one like it is now. My goal even though far from it is to be the first to win all three classes.

Yes and I have a goal of 200 flat level speed with a YS four stroke engine.

I'm biting my tongue, Jeff; but, you are making it hard to resist starting up another friendly round of all the "smack talk" we SAM racers used to be somewhat known for, here on these forums.

Raptor,
I Respect that goal. My goal is to watch you hit your goal in 2/3 classes and then be the one who keeps you from being 3/3.
Sorry,
Skids

Maybe for next year I will have the time to get the twin running again and race that in bronze again.

Jeff you might want to take Jim's goal because I am hoping for something way different.

Goal for 1st place is:
Bronze- Mark (Barney)
Silver - JR (Trashman)
Gold - Tim (Bushman)

I guess Barney gets 2 votes.

I am hoping this is my last year in silver so I should go out with a bang and win Silver for the 4th time. At least that is my goal.

James, you can have second place.

As far as gold, sorry Mark but I am calling for Bushman so that should put him into 1st place.

JPGale

Hoping to join you in Gold next year as well JR.

Trashman88

I learned from my last couple gold planes is not use LiFe batteries with futaba recievers. If you do they will lock out. That is what I found out what happen to me and lost both gold planes I was planning on racing this year. I use to swear by Futaba but after this I am really looking on switching to JR or Spectrum after the race season.

I might have to go JR because I am JR.

JR,
you know I am a big fan of the new DMSS protocal for the new JR transmitters. Let me know if you want to put one of my receivers in a plane of yours and give my XG11 a test spin.

Jim,
I might just do that after this race. I will be seriously looking for a different radio system.

I just dont really want change before the race as i am a little scared to change anything major like that right now and take a chance on loosing my airplanes before the race.

Does B/O mean you won the race ??

Iron Dog

Some of the Futaba receivers (the more reasonably-priced ones) are particularly sensitive to the maximum voltage limits. As I understand it, if your battery charged to a level above that max limit, it could lock out. (For example a 6-volt battery charges to 6.5 volts initially, but the max voltage rating on the receiver is 6V, so power exceeds its max limit.) If you had been really pleased with Futaba up to now, before you make your decision to switch over, I would talk to Jim Altmeyer about his issues with this same problem, all the research he did, and the conversations he had with Futaba regarding which of their receivers could handle the higher voltage, etc. He's since switched receivers &/or switched battery packs and carefully monitored their voltages, and his issues seem to have been solved. Jim and I plan on being out at SAMs on Friday.

Not the way it's going to happen.

Goal for 1st place is:
Bronze- Mark (Barney)
Silver - JR (Trashman)
Gold - Shawn ( Speed Racer )

That's what you can expect!

JPGale

Spektrum/JR are great, I switch from Futaba when I went 2.4 mainly because of Horizon Hobby CS.

For the last race I had to switch radios to my old DX7 as the 9503 had gone wrong, I now need to re-setup the 9503 for the planes and fly both before the race. I think in your case waiting until the end of the year is a good idea.

As another advert for how awesome Horizon Hobby service is, I sent my 9503 to them for repair, they repaired it and shipped it back totally free, for a 4 year old radio.

James

JPGale

Speed,

I have no problem with you taking Gold, by I am going to take Silver, I want to get into the places for the year, and a good outing at this race can make that happen. I think JR has the season wrapped up unless something drastic happens.

Well heck, with all these goals being set and the bar quite high, not much left for me.... my goal is bring home my plane, beat Dave Sullivan and Micky, not mid air with richard (hes had enough), beat anything that looks like a mig, drink some of Shawns low octane fruit drinks, and land and roll out w/o nosing it over before the pavement ends, run a 1:25.0001, rack up 24 pts, and not get a speeding ticket on the way home.

Marty,
I like the way you are thinking. Lol
