Joe:
We race 25 size T6’s at both Whittier and the Basin. We also had a race at the Canyon Crosswinds last year and will hopefully have one there in 2006. We permit HOB, scratch built to HOB plans and the Global ARF which is pretty much a copy of the HOB. I personally race HOB but I would say the majority race the ARF. Most are raced with no mods at all. Some clean them up a little and recover them. The stock control linkage seems to work fine. I have only seen one wing joint failure and that was after a crash.

You should consider using the same rules we use. They are available at http://www.sgvrcl.org/. As you will see we have a regular racing series with year end awards. I’m sure most of our guys would come to your races and we could always use more racers.

Along with T6’s we race slow quickee’s, trainers and Air Crusiers. We use the ½ A three pole course but have raced these planes on the two pole course.

It’s pretty laid back and a lot of fun. The combination of spec props and RPM limits makes for very close inexpensive racing. If you want any additional info E-mail me at [email protected].
