Pylon Racing is coming!

WHEN: July 9th at 9:30am
WHERE: Ron Smith Memorial RC Park

Here are the details for our first race:

Plane Details:

The ONLY plane we will be racing is the FMS T28 v2 (The 800mm version). In later races we will probably open up to additional classes once we see how the first race goes.
You can purchase one at Horizon Hobby or any hobby store that has them in stock.

• ESC: This plane comes stock with a 20A speed controller which in our testing, rides the edge of safety. For this reason we are allowing any ESC you wish to install in your plane but you must stick with the stock motor.
• Prop: We will allow the stock prop or an APC 7x6E.
• Gyro: The stock plane comes with an orange gyro and a bunch of servo / receiver wires. Feel free to pull out that dead weight if you want.
• Battery: The only limitation on the battery we have is that it must be a 3 cell battery. Pilots have had success with 800mAh to 1100mAh in size.
• Markings: Each plane will be expected to have a unique marking so spotters and pylon judges will be able to identify your plane. It can either be a color scheme (paint job) or a VERY visible decal with a number. Be creative!

Race Details

• 3 heats of 6 laps each. (Plan your battery size accordingly)
• Starts will be from the air.
• Left turns around the pylons. No cutting! Pylon judges will deduct your score if you turn prior to the pylon.
• Take off will commence 30 seconds prior to race start
• Each pilot will have his/her own spotter to call out when they cross the lap / finish line. Spotters can be anyone at the field not currently flying in the race.
• We will have up to 5 planes running in a single heat. Fly safe!
