Archie;

I'm impressed with the performance of your Q-500 electric conversion per your video.

If the off-the-shelf 1,000 Watt-min limiter will be enough energy for a heat using the relatively inexpensive power package that you used, then we may very well have a new event. I know for a fact that electric racing can quickly get-away-from-you as far as expense and speed creep goes. The limiter, as you say, will take equipment out of the equation leaving some good "mano-a-mano" competition. I am strongly in favor of the limiter idea.

I'd be interested in promoting and having electric Q-500 racing in our area once you guys have settled on the parameters. Also, I'm interested in Don's idea of using the Wingman airframe, though two new electric classes in that size range might not be supported as much as one event would be. I'd like to see only one new (larger) class of electric pylon racing for a start. Then, see how it goes. You guys hash-out the rules and do the R&D. Keep us informed. I'm in!
