ATTENTION ALL WARBIRD RACING PILOTS
December 2nd 2017
RC Pro War Birds
Speed World in Arizona.
1. Please send me your registration information so that you can be preregistered - Your Name, AMA number, and the classes you wish to race, and the frequency # if still on 72. If you plan to race with another racer in the same class, please let me know so that we can put you on the same frequency (lane).

2. Notify all of your pilot friends who are interested in racing by having them contact me as well on e-mail at; [email protected], or by phone (text preferred) at 602 739-4569. They can also leave a voice mail at 623 776-0906 (land line).

3. It is expected that we will have the capability to use Model Tracker Software and tags in our aircraft to test a somewhat workerless system. We are, however, planning to have all workers needed to support the racing venue based on previous races held. But this is an exciting and new innovation in the model aircraft racing venue. Additional detailed information, including pictures, will be provided to those pilots who have pre-registered as you will need to connect the tag to your receiver either to an open channel or via a y-harness. The tag has a 6 inch Futaba/JR plug and each pilot should plan to bring an additional 6 inch extender for better placement of the tag.

4. Arizona does not observe daylight savings time so we are on MT, currently. Start times may be changed a little from what is being posted since we will need to attached the Model Tracker tag in each model. We will also need to complete the safety inspection as well as use the wing strips for worker tracking after registration and the matrixing is complete.
