We flew these @ the AMA NATS this year during luch breaks. We set up a 375' (3) pylon sourse and raced (3) at a time. They are just over 100 mph and very easy to fly. The goal of this project is to promote a new sport EP racing class that would interest both the sport flier and racer alike. Course would be either the 375' (3) pylon or 400' (2) pylon course.
The fuse is all lasercut light ply box type construction with balsa and spruce stringers. The tail feathers are 3/16" sheet. Wing is foam core with 1/16" balsa sheeting.
Jerry sent me one and it took me 4 days to build. First flight was only a couple clicks of trim away from race trim. My first race with it was my 3rd flight on the airplane. I have since flown it with some local sport fliers and done some exciting aerobatics with it. It is just a great airplane and would make a great sport racer.
I will get a video of it in action and post it to youtube.
