no, I have sites set on a blue and white Mustang.

My new goal is to get there

Invisible Monokote?

Great
Now everybody needs a stealth plane too.

Crap

Good thing I have connections at Northrup Grumman. LOL

Tim,


That is a focused and very achievable "GOAL", and I will proudly support you towards it, in any way I can. But unlike some of the others, I hear no mention that you have a "PLAN", too. Most of these Gold racers (and the Trashman) have one or the other. Of course, some of them fail to realize that, as someone once said:

I fear you will likely need both, or be at the same significant disadvantage as these guys who each share the same delusion that they are the one who is going to win it all. :)

You are so mean Ollie. Lol. Do you have a plan?

Ollie, It is also a plan. A very simple one! lol :rolleyes:

"Mean?" :(
Now, J.R., you know I don't have a mean bone in my body. My comments are all simply intended purely as good-natured "ribbing" amongst close friends. A way to have some fun between now and the real fun in September. I fully expect to "get", as well as I "give!" (In fact I figured I'd better have some good flights with the Fw190 the other day, or I'd really hear about it!)

But to answer your question:


Of course I have a plan . . .

It's a bad plan,
and will probably fail
spectacularly . . .

. . . but it is still a plan. :cool:



That is why there's also a "Plan B."

I noticed you didn't ask me what my specific goal is. After all, this forms the basis for one's specific action plan(s), in order to achieve one's goal, right? :)

It will be fun and its with a great group of people to race with. best bunch of racers/club members I have seen in a long time.

Now now Ollie, dont take it personally. It is all in fun.

Is it wrong to have a wish?

Jimmy and JR The rules state the biggest four stroke is a 180. i want to build a big silver mustang for a 185DZ CDI. can we change the rules to allow this engine?

We would have to look at that at the end of the year. I will put that on the table when we have our CD meeting.

JR,
I'm comfortable with working on this.... how about Maximum Cubic inches at 1.90 with a wing area of 750 square inches?

;)

Jimmy Skids

Before we make any rules change, we should follow the procedure and discuss it at the CD meeting like we do every year. I am not comfortable on making changes until the races for the year is done.

Jr that makes since and sounds like the right thing to do. I think the rules were made before the YS 185 came out and when the 175 was there hence the 180 in the rules now. I would like to make a big YS bark in a big plane. now if they rules dont change then I will run the 175 which I think will still sound cool. I already have the plane to build for it. :D now just have to figure out if a APC 16x16 will be enough prop

Make a wish Skids Foundation?

It makes since but it would not be right for anyone to make a change in the middle of the season. I hope you understand but like I said before, I will bring it up at the end of the year.

Just to be clear the wing area/displacement chart was created prior to the 1.75 being in production. We capped the chart at 1.8 because at the time we felt that too much bigger in the engines and planes could present safety issues. We can consider after the season any changes. My personal belief is that we really don't want to change what is working.
Jimmy Skids

Yes i know and not really trying to change it to much. Just want to be able to run the biggest YS engine. I really dont thing there would be that much difference in size or speed between the 175 and 185.

JR I agree to not change during the season. I see a bunch of 160-175 for sale cheap also. I may not even race just have a sorta fast scale warbird

I just registered online, JR can you confirm you got me registration. So excited about this race.

Bulldog

You will recieve a confirmation email when I confirm the registration.

Mine are sent JR to your email.
