Wichita Ks. Q500-Q40 Races
The crew from Wichita has scheduled a Q500, Q40 race for mid Sept. For all of us racers that live in the middle of the country, it will be nice to have a Q40 race that is not such a logistical challenge. The closest Q40 race for the Kansas City guys is in Muncie, 9 hours away. For me personally, I've been to Phoenix, OJA, Cinn and Muncie twice this year to get my Q40 fix. So the drive over to Wichita won't be bad at all. This race is smack dab in the middle of the country. So everyone get out your map, gps or smart phones and see how far away Wichita is from you. Hopefully, we can get racers from all points. Sept 14-16 Lake Afton, Goddard KS. Practice starts after noon on Friday. 424,426 (short course) on Sat. 422 only on Sun so those who are traveling can get an early start home. We will be using the light system from KCRC. Magnum fuel provided. Camping at field. Info @ www.wichitaradiocontrolclub.org Copied from Moe's NMPRA post, Eddie

RE: EF-1 at Nats
As one of the pilots who flew the event, You couldn't be more wrong about it. It is exactly what is needed to bring new blood into pylon! It was a blast to fly just the way it is! I would like to thank Jerry, Dan and All the others involved to make this event happen. I also want to thank Dennis Cranfield for loaning me his backup after I crashed mine on friday night. Please race the class before you decide what is needed to fix it.[:)]

RE: KCRC Spring 424 & 426 Race
Being involved with the MoKan series I can tell you there was a lot of effort to get the six races in the series planned. There will almost always be conflicts with other races, and remember most of these dates are set six months or more before the now season starts. I would love to make it to a race at Julian, but K/C is a Whole lot closer for me. Someday I will make it to one!! The NMPRA site lists the races, But we have to send the info to them. If you have dates we all need to get them to the moderators as soon as we can! Don't forget to tell them Thanks, It's a lot of work keeping all the info current!! Good Luck and No Cuts!!

RE: Tangerine?
[quote]ORIGINAL: zedad71 If I may throw my two cents worth on this. I race 424, I have raced for basically the better part of two seasons. I had considered moving up to 428 , but in my estimation, the jump was to broad and I was not comfortable with the cost transition either. As for the newer 426 class, I would consider it possibly, but its still a substantial investment. My biggest problem however is, the publicized consensus is that you want new blood to fill the fields right? but yet you are catering the 426 class to fit the experienced Q40 and 428 pilots. By running the Jett models on the short course, you are basically making it once again faster for me to fly than I am comfortable with. If the race were run on the long course, ( to cater to the newer transition pilots) then it would be MUCH easier for NEW people to move up. with the pace being equal to Q40, I will not even attempt to fly this course. Its not the speed of the airplane in the straight thats the real problem, its the time BETWEEN corners that is the problem. It doesnt give time to get set for the next corner. Yes I know lots of guys do it, but they are guys who have raced for a LOT longer than I have. Why doesnt the NMPRA follow through as an orginization and truly do whats best for bringing new pilots in,, not catering to the existing pilot base? as to the cost factor,, I have to drive over 400 miles each way to enter any racing event. I find it folly to drive that far, spend that much travel money, and only have one model, so now its DOUBLE the cost. As of yet, I have not seen anything that says I wont need a 600$ composite model to be competative. Bottom line for ME is, I see this class being catered to the people who are already flying fast models, NOT to bringing new people through the ranks. I guess I am not surprised actually since thats pretty much the way all racing goes. But if your going to talk the talk ,, about bringing new people up that is,, then how about walk the walk, and listen to the new people you are trying to entice into staying in racing. At this point, I am pretty frustrated by the whole thing. Most likely if I race this year, it will be strictly 424 just because of this. anyway, thanks for the chance to air my opinion Mark Scarborough NEW race addict,, [/quote] It sounds as if you have made up your mind already, Nothing about ANY kind of racing is cheap! The fastest 426 plane at all the 426 races in our series this season was a RTC Viper, not a $600.00 composite. We spend nearly a hundred on a made in taiwan thunder tiger for 424 that is good for a season or two, so a quality built in the USA Jett for $250.00 is too much for you to spend? If you can fly a 424 on a short course, you Can fly a 426 on a short course as well. Have you seen a 426 fly? These are the rules for the classes for everyone, It is your choice you race it or not! Sorry, but it's really old hearing the same it's too fast, it's too expensive. The point is that, It is what it is accept it or don't your choice![:(]
