I agree there are too many forums for racing topics, but I also believe that the Pylon Universe forums get the most traffic by both the experienced racer and the new-comer. We get many questions by new-comers.

A couple ideas I had for posting to get things going revolved around:

How to ship planes to a race?

What you need to know before taking them on the plane?

Can you carry on your transmitters?

Can you bring a Radar Gun with?

If you ship them, what service is best (safest) ? UPS / Fed-Ex / USPS / Greyhound?

Do you need a wooden box, or will cardboard work?

Should you modify a gun case to fit your q40 wings?

Do you need to remove your fuel tanks from your planes?

What do you REALLY need to bring to an out of town race? I believe many people over-pack things they never use, or could beg-borrow-or steal from a local.

Any new word on some of the NEW Composite ARFS coming in from Asia??


I guess I just never get tired about talking about racing planes, and continually want to expand my knowledge, whether its been beaten into the ground or not.
