RE: NATS

They dropped 2610 a little while back, at least at the NATS and all of the eastern events I have attended. There is a group in the northwest that still does it, but I think 2948 has almost replaced...

RE: Is combat dead?

RE: Is combat dead?

Evidently, the economy has really taken a toll on combat participation. I know the RCCA is discussing it and taking suggestions, but most are simply speculating as to the reason for the decline over...

RE: WW1 Combat Benalla Australia

That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. I fly combat, so I can really appreciate the work each pilot has put into being willing to battle with such planes. Great pictures too. Thanks...

RE: which motor

It is, which is why I stated that I was biased, but all of the information I told you is true. I took many of the aerodynamic principles and building techniques I have learned from gliders and...

RE: which motor

I am biased, but have flown both extensively. The performance of the Tomahawk truly is superior to the Battle Axe and exhibits superior speed, turning, and energy retention through maneuvers. While...

RE: which motor

That is a question of much debate and the definition of "better" will vary from person to person. I use the Magnums exclusively on my Tomahawk SSC and find that they produce better power on lower...

RE: focus when flying combat?

RE: New Magnum engines

I found some performance ( RPM ) increase with the larger inserts, probably due to the finish being smoother than the cast carb version. Polishing a set further may also help for those circumstances...

RE: Legal muffler 2548 ?

I'm pretty sure it is not legal. But that being said, I feel if a given engine is turning a given RPM on a given prop, who cares.. the performance will be dictated by that...even if it is rubber...

RE: Power of ASP XLS .15

RE: South Africa Combat

Rather than recite it all here, I'm referring you to "the source". Go to the Home Page and go to the "Start Combat" tab for a list of class rules and such.
