RE: New pilot, need a suggestion.
You guys really have been awesome... I cannot thank you all enough for your help, expertise, opinions, and your time. Thank you!
MinnReefer: I sent an email to the president of SodBusters R/C out by Woodbury/Afton area since that field is closest. TCRC was the next closest I believe, and I have a card or flyer from that organization. I'd love to come out and talk to you guys, and probably pick your brains and ask a zillion questions. I've wanted to do this for awhile but I had been patiently waiting for a reply from the other club. I know the weather isnt going to be all that warm next weekend, but if theres a chance anyone will be flying out there, I'd come down to see the place and talk to a few guys..
I have another question regarding noise limits. Some of my engines have a pretty gnarly bark to them. Is there any noise limits at TCRC? The engines I speak of are an Enya30SS bb engine with stock muffler, and my (what I call anyway) mini revver TT.46 with a red Jettstream muffler. Am I going to need to load the engines down a lot to keep the noise down or can I fly 'em as-is? The TT really came alive with the Jett muffler, so I really want to keep it on there if possible.
Would my little Enya fly the LT-40 okay? What flight prop(s) would I expect to use on the TT? Others recommended a 9x6 on the .30. I have 9x5,9x6,9x7,10x5,10x6 all APC and 10x6, and 10x8 MAS K-series props.
