RE: SoCal Revvers...

I hope this little storm over the weekend clears the way for a nice desert trip. [:o] I went to Apple Valley Saturday and it was windy, cold, and the Cajon pass was dumping massive rain.

RE: SoCal Revvers...

Hey Dan, that is much appreciated! So, is just the lake bed off limits to vehicles? For instance, can you go riding bikes up towards the hills and up the canyons? I've done some trails up here...

RE: Finding C/G of Delta

I use geeky spreadsheets if I'm at home.

RE: Fast electric guys, need some advice on props.

kmot, any of the small pylon props are good to high RPMs. APC rates theirs modestly and most are well over 30K. Same with the CAMs. Start with a smaller prop and measure the current. So many guys...
