Local 428 Racing Woes....

We keep saying there is more than one way to skin a cat. I've always said pilot skill is the most important factor in racing, but that's because I'm a flyer and not a craftsman. The statement is...

Local 428 Racing Woes....

I thought in another thread we read that the wood...

Dave,

You need to sell the point that these people can compete against the composite quickees. As you can read in another thread, the composite planes aren't any faster.......it's the guys that...

Highwing or Lowwing?

Hey Mikey!

No dihederal. It was the same wing we use on the high-wing Vortex. Dihederal is most likely what it needed. The airplane trimmed out perfectly (thanks dad). But on take off, you had...

Highwing or Lowwing?

High wing V-tail is the obvious choice of many (at least in the 428 class). I think Jim Allen is responsible for the type Q500 we all fly today. As many things though, there is more than one way to...
