It is a load of fun..... Our club just started both at our field, They have been trying
to get enough interest in pylon, but it always fell through when they wanted to use
the normal(smaller) racers... So it never got off the ground... But then a fellow
member got into spads.... He bought a bunch of the material and just gave it to
the club members that wanted to get into combat/pylon and we got a few involved..
It started as combat first with the .40 spad with a .25-.30 engine... On one of our
last combats, we had nine up... Talk about a ball, and do not take your eyes off of
your plane.. You may never find it till it's too late... The racing has not really started
but we have run about 4-5 planes just getting the feel for it... They are still working
out the course etc... The last time 5 of us "sort of" raced... We tried a figure 8 type
course where as all the turns was away from the pits.... It worked out good with just
5 up, not sure about more being up... but I guess we still need to work out a few more
details some still donot feel comfortable with it.... For me it wasn't to hard, as long
as you can control your plane normally.... that's for combat... Pylon can get hairy
because of the speed, number of planes and where/how the course is... But it's FUN!!
but you have to set some rules for safety....... Even our little SPAD's can get out of
hand pretty quick....
