RE: EF-1 at Nats
Hi Tom,
I am sorry if what I wrote upset you, that was not my intent. I actually spoke to you for a couple of minutes reagrding the 426 Jett event when I made a contribution to the Cliff Telford fund. I knew Cliff from many years ago. That new event is a homerun for sure.
My pylon experience is QM 15, AMA 428, F-1 . I had thoughts about getting back in to the new 426 event, that is why I came over and then saw the EF-1 planes. I have been flying electric performance planes for the last 6 years and have a converted Vendetta from Lyle and a Vortex.
My thoughts are not just my own by any means. I was told the intent was to get sport flyers to build the EF-1 planes to draw in new blood to pylon. That's great, but the average electric sport plane performs better than the EF-1's currently available.
Since this event is new, changes would be simple to make now. Increase the cells to 5 , lower the KPV motors to 850-900 and go to the 9x9 prop.
