Parkzone wardbirds Class Rules
 
This is intended to be a intermediate class, to promote racing in general with specific limitations on the airframe and modifications to ensure easy participation. These airplanes may have electric retractable landing gear or fixed landing gear.

No modifications of any kind to the airframe (i.e. clipped wings or tail)

Planes may be repainted
Races will consist of 10 laps around a 2 pylon course.
To receive credit for a lap, the contestant must fly such that any part of the
airplane must be outside of each pylon when it passes the pylons, and if a pylon is cut, that lap shall not be counted. In addition, a cut penalty shall be assessed for any flying over the designated sideline, pit, or spectator area or in “no-fly” zones clearly identified at a pre-race pilots’ meeting. If a pilot receives a single cut, then that lap shall not count and the pilot must fly another (eleventh) lap to complete the heat. A pilot who cuts twice in the same heat shall receive a score of zero points

 Here's the award My dad, grandpa, and I got at the Xmas party

      Like my dad said the mosquito has two smaller motors and I forgot to mention the Fw-190 would be allowed to compete. My dad and I will be out there tomorrow practicing this experimental class if anyone would like to come out and join us.

Hey guys,
             Just wanted to get this started early to give people time to discuss the topic. I was thinking that we should have a intermediate class for people that are coming out of the T-28 class to jump into. This class would be the Parkzone war bird class. I watched it at  the Woodland/Davis Aeromodlers club and it looked promising and fun. They would have to use stock props stock motor stock speed control with no sanding or clipping of the wing or tail you could also use optional retracts but would have to use a three cell battery. You could use the new corsair, p-47, spitfire, bf-109(discontinued), or the new mosquito. A lot of member in the club already have these airplanes and that's the purpose of this class is to get more of the members to participate. Let me know what you guys think or if you have any questions.

Well I guess it's my turn to post my carnage. Came out to the field with my grandpa with my parkzone fw-190 and and his spitfire. We then took off and he was doing aerobatics up high and I made a fly by then pulled up in to him with out knowing he was there. His spitfire had the wings ripped off and the fuselage long darted and my 190 had the tail cut off a spun in..... This is what is left of the two airplanes

Why is there no more throw outs?

I would like to race my parkzone spitfire because it's the next step up from t-28 and one step down from Reno 450 they're just a little slower then Reno and you can repair and buy new parts if you were to crash. I've seen quite a few People with the same size class and they are cheap.
