We entered 2 airplanes at the Phoenix race on March 18th. Our goal was to see how it competed with current airplanes racing in Gold and Silver. To our delight the Miss Ashley held its own. Even though we had a strong cross wind most of the day the airplane was fast, easy to fly and looked good in the air. Andy’s airplane (Silver) was powered by YS 80 with 30% nitro and was able to breakout without any problems. My airplane (Gold) had an old worn-out YS 115WS running on 50% nitro and was competing with all of the other Gold airplanes at the race.

We brought along 2 kits for others, and both were taken home. In conclusion this air frame is a viable solution to the airplane shortage. More kits will be available soon and we are sure that in time the airplane will only get better.
