ORIGINAL: Red Scholefield

With the new AMA Park Fly Program where the limit is 2 lbs and 60 mph how is the speed verified? Winged Shadow Systems www.wingedshadow.com has a neat little device, the HOW FAST ($44.95) that does the job. The 2.7 gram unit, plugs into your receiver and includes Pitot and static probes that mount on the wing. Maybe a good item for clubs to consider.

So, folks join the PPP to save the difference between $58 and $29, then the clubs require them to buy a $45 device to prove they are in compliance with the $29 program.

Classic!
