RE: NEW NELSON Q-40
ORIGINAL: SCPYLONRACER
The issue is if the “2 second increase in speed†is accurate, this new product release from Henry and Dave has effectively made all the QM-40 engines obsolete including the Jetts. This product release is great from a business standpoint for Henry and Dave but I don’t see this as a good move for pylon community. We not need to increase the QM-40 speeds and this move will undoubtedly cause more racers to drop out of the event and the loss of participants is not something that pylon can afford at this time. The die-hard racers will spend the money to stay competitive but many racers won’t and just fade out of pylon. Also, you can count on a new Q-500 engine.

My next $400 purchase will be in F1 Sport. For that amount I get an engine AND airframe ( not "or" ), and I can use it at the local field 52 weekends a year ... plus, there is actually at least ONE other guy in my time zone who has one. Maybe we'll race 'em!

Budman,
Oh, I don't hold it against him. Everybody lets their standards slip once in a while.
Sometimes I feel like this guy:
