Default Waco 4-11-15

Ok, 1st race in Gtown is over it's time to gear up for Waco.
( A big thank you to all that worked so hard to put on a really fun event in G town)

I'm all set for Waco but I'm not sure which planes to bring.
Are they going to run Q25's with C-40?

AND,
I believe I heard through the grapevine that our Texas area clubs are going to allow shaft mods for the Rimfire EF1 motors so we can use collet style prop adapters. Is that true?

Steve,
I will see if I can get some help on loading the starter up on the Suburban Friday evening! I have loaded it by myself one other time but it's to heavy to lift alone! I can bring some fishing string also, Charles saved us at our race because I forgot to pick up string! I will be coming up just to help run the race I think I may have an issue with my transmitter?

Jim I appreciate the offer but I'm just going to regroup and set out and help out if I can! I broke Ken Hopson's fast plane last year in a mid air and felt bad about it! So it wont hurt me to bad to set on the side line and watch some of the best pylon racing in the country!

[QUOTE=stevebla;12017323]hey jim , will you still be able to get by Randy Ritches this week and bring fuel to Waco?


Steve I tried to send you a PM but I don't see it in my sent box.
It has my cell number and email. (Fred has it too, you can get it from him, I just don't want to put it on here)
I called Randy's shop today and they told me he is out of town and he's out of cell range.
I have a listing in my contacts for Randy but no last name. I tried it but couldn't get connected.

They have some fuel there but I'm not sure if it's the right stuff. It's15% nitro and 20% oil but I don't know if it's got castor in it. (doesn't say pylon on the sticker)
AND, they aren't gonna hand it out without talking to Randy 1st.
Jim
