Pylon racing is more than one plane (normally 4) racing against each other round three poles or pylons. There are two at one end of the track and one at the other, and the planes do 10 laps and the winner . . . um . . . . wins!

There are many classes of pylon models, from serious very very fast ones (prices measured in thousands!) through many less serious model classes, to plain ol' trainer races.

There are loads of web sites dealing in pylon racing, but try this one for a start:-
