Jeff, an I going to have to worry about that new Tsunami?

well never know till I fly it but it is looking good. If i was to take a guess I am thinking I will need 35% to fly just at gold speed. The kind of racing shawn really is a guessing game as you can have a slower plane and still win or a way to fast plane and win. you have to be first across the line yet not beat the clock. You can see the other planes in the air but that little clock cant be seen. Its kinda like the old coffin corner days where you fly to fast and your plane flies apart and if fly to slow you stall. this range is about 5 mph lol

i plan to have the Tsunami and the macchi ready by then.

Got it, thanks JR. So excited about this race.

James

JR any word on weither or not we can have one race during lunch with the EF-1 planes? I know of a few that would like to do this. I think even Robert might race his also.

I have not talked to JR yet, so far we have 3 confirmed willing to race in a lunch time demo. I am going to talk to JR and go from there.

James

Guys over the weekend I caught a glimpse of the Plaques. JR has come through once again, they are sweet indeed. The first place gold plaque is going to look sawweeetttt on my wall.

Sorry Shawn, Jimmy, Sergio, Richard, Marty and Dave but 1st place is already taken, but you guys are welcome to follow me to the podium...

This is awesome I am glad to hear that the plaque that is going on my wall is nice. Up for grabs however are 2nd and 3rd place silver.

James

JP I am running silver also so JR had my name engraved already on the first place plaques. Sorry.

No JR had a last place plaque made up for you as we know you are not finishing first.

I hope you guys wake up before the race.

Lol...you guys are great racers and entertaining...enjoy just watching the forum racing with my popcorn

I used to be to fast and it is hard to slow to down to race against you guys but I have done it, either way my new nickname is first place Jeff....

Okay James and Jeff,

So it looks like you've both abandoned the whole "GOALS" and "PLANS" stage of the game and are now regressing to the Jimmy Make-A-Wish Skids Foundation concept of DREAMING or simple WISH-FUL THINKING:

James, how are you going to win? . . . You don't have one of these (well, not yet, anyway):

(And Jeff, yours is a mere facsimile. :p)



That's right, gentlemen . . . The "GHOST" is coming back to HAUNT your dreams of victory!

[QUOTE=Iron Dog;11855519]Oh there is a GOAL and a PLAN, and even some wishful thinking on Jeff's part.

The wing is looking good.

[QUOTE=Iron Dog;11855519]I ain't afraid of no Ghost.

I will put it into the agenda. I need to know if you want to do it Saturday or Sunday. If we have enough time then I will let you guys do it both days but again it depends on how many demos we have and how much time we have on Sunday.

Please let me know how many guys are going to participate in this and which day or days.

Thanks and looking forward to it,
JR

JR I think no more than five guys. I really don't want a bunch of guys so have to run an extra race. its up to you what day you want to run it as I dont know the race schedule. These should be a fast race. Only need 30 seconds or less to start the race. do a flying start like the rest but limit to 8 laps like they do in the triangle series.

I plan to have a plane for Marty to fly.

I will schedule one 8 lap demo for Saturday.

Thanks Speed!!!! I have so many hours just designing the plaques. I hope everyone enjoys them.

[QUOTE=Iron Dog;11855519]Cant wait to see the ghost in the air again. That is one sweet ass plane!!!!!!!!!!!

[QUOTE=Trashman88;11858866]Thanks, JR!

I've got the wing halves joined; ailerons hinged; and fiberglass reinforced the center section, as well as the trailing edge. (I had the trailing edge sanded to such a razor edge that the balsa was too thin, and therefore too easily damaged, even though hardened with CA.)

Just need to fill-in around the main gear leg cut-outs and final sand before covering and painting.

The YS110-S that was powering it before was a loss, so installed my hottest running 110FZ. Even with a little less power up front, I expect easily similar speed overall with the new wing design. And because it is scale, I think the new wing will make it look even better than the original. "007" says he's all too easily breaking out of Silver times on 20%, running his YS 115, and enjoys it's flight characteristics.

So, save me a spot in Silver . . . I grabbed a registration form, but you weren't out yesterday (Sunday) to give it to. I'll try to catch you next Sunday, so I can do my best to give you a challenge this race.
