Below is the name and address of the NMPRA District Vice President in your area. He should be able to identify racing going on.

District 7 VP:
Tom Dobyns
2115 Manor Dr. NE
Palm Bay, FL 32905
321-722-1914

I suggest flying a class of racers that is currently being flown in your area. I have flown the Club 40 (C-40) racers and the 424 (Thunder Tiger Pro 40 powered Q-500) class. Both are a lot of fun for a little money.

If you don't like to build, consider a Great Plains Viper.

If you enjoy building there are several kits with foam wings with wood or fiberglass fuselage. This type is legal for the 424 class. I wrote a thread on the construction of a Matney's Models "Dawg Gone It". This gives an idea of the level of building needed.

Good luck racing.
