RE: Carolina Crew Decisions
Ray, every year it is the same story, besides a lack of preparation on some guys' part, there is always the wind. The .15 sized racers do better in the wind. There is a 1/2A event that is both relatively immune to the wind, and would still allow the REED VALVE PHREAKS to nane a KING of COXLAND and that is straight line speed. Set up a 167 foot long [1/32 mile] speed trap. Just take down wind times, or average out downwind and upwind runs. Give a guy 5 minutes to get in his best pass. After an hour, 8 flyers could easily get clocked, and then maybe have different classes. The poles would already be set at a good distance [167 feet] for pylon racing if a few guys get ready for that, in between speed rounds. The speed event would be less "communistic" than a one design pylon event, which would keep those who like designing their own planes still involved. For a one design pylon event, it would be hard to beat the ACE GLH, either foam or built up version.
