Title: 2011 Pylon Racing
Post by: Jon_Stychno on November 02, 2010, 11:12:49 AM
The 2011 Pylon Racing season will be starting before we know it. I thought I'd throw out some ideas on various subjects.

- Change the name of the Foamie Warbird class to the "Reno 450" Class.

-As Steve Cole mentioned, the top 3 or 5 finishers in the T-28 class for the year are unable to race in the class the following year. Perhaps a seperate expert class should be established.

-EDF 64 Class. Jet Racing! . The class would use the 3 receiver ready ducted fan jets available from Hobby Lobby. They sell for 119.99 and the include everything except a receiver. Even the battery is included!  The jets are an F9F Panther, Mig 15, and a F-86. I think this would be great class that would utilize the latest in technology in RC at an affordable price.  Cheaper than a T-28!

Be sure to share thoughts on these ideas.
