RE: yeeha
Here are a couple thoughts for things to do before the race:
1) Install the tank, typically a Jett CG or Tettra 6, about 1/2" to 1" higher than a normal sport model. The reason is to help during the launch and during turns.
2) Break in the engine with several tanks of fuel. I add about 4 ounces of castor oil to an existing gallon of fuel. Follow the break in directions.
3) Have Darrol Cady review the model when you get there. He does the safety inspection and is good for picking up any installation issues.
We will be there early, probably Wednesday, so that I can get some flights in.
