RE: q 40
I am near Amarillo, Texas and it looks like there are a lot of racers in Missouri and the surrounding area. The Amarillo area flies the Club 40 racers.
It appears that there might be enough airplanes around to fly Q-40 Sport Class with a Thunder Tiger Pro 40. I am about 7 hours from Wichita, Kansas. Around 8 hours from Joplin, MO or Kansas City.
Kevin Matney from Matney Models indicated that he has Jett motor mounts drilled and tapped for the Thunder Tiger (TT) motor. A lot of the current Q-40 models are equipped with a Jett motor mount. You might be able to change out your existing mount and install one for the TT.
I usually make a trip through Wichita and Kansas City a couple times a year to see my Dad.
