Default RE: 2008 US Nationals

Jason flew electric, with a Plettenberg 30-10 Evo in the finals

Thanks to all the boys back in Canada who wished me luck!

Equipment wise it went something like this,

Jas - Futaba, Pletty, Hacker/Jeti controller, Thunderpower 5000's, Comp-Arf Integral
AJ - Futaba, Hacker motor/controller, Thunderpower 5000's, Comp-Arf Integral
Brett - Futaba, YS 170, Oxai Aires
QQ - JR, YS 170, Oxai Euphoria
Chip - Futaba, I think Jason said Hacker above, CA Passport
Sean - Futaba, YS 170, Aires
Chad - Futaba, Pletty/Schulze, Thunderpower 5200's, Comp-Arf Integral
Troy - JR, YS 170, Oxai Euphoria
Dave - JR, Hacker outrunner not sure which one, he had an A60S in one plane and A60M in the other, CC esc, Thunderpower 5300's, Wistmodel Prestige
Bill - Futaba, YS 170, Naruke Altair

Futaba pretty much cleaned up

Seems to me that the Comp-Arf Integral and Oxai planes are very popular, everyone seems to really like them. YS on ignition was impressive, but QQ did have some flameouts that seemed to be caused by faulty ignition. Almost no smoke in flight though and very smooth.

Anywho, I just got up and have 15 hours of driving to do (and I still won't be home)......so thats it for now

Here is a shot of the finalists in FAI minus Chip and Bill, not sure what happened to them.
