Hi Bassfisher,

In the south-central area SSC is the most common class. The great thing about it is that the airplanes use .15's so the planes don't hit as hard, but they still have plenty of power to maneuver. The planes are built durably so they normally don't get hurt very badly at all and when they do, and repairs are easy - not like on a balsa/ply plane.

We're having a big SSC contest in Jackson, TN on June 21. It's around a 3 hour drive from little rock, which isn't too bad, especially if you travel with a flying buddy. We'd love to have you come fly with us! So far we've got 18 pilots from all over the country signed up, and we're still 5 weeks out.

The best thing to do is make sure you are all flying with similar aircraft. The intent of limiting RPM and weight (as in SSC and LimB) is that it's more about your piloting than how much power you have.

Combat's a blast!
