Guys you are going to love this plane.  Its a forgiving and rewarding flyer.  Wish the driveway was more accessable for today Jack but your going to love the racing!

ps where is Simons hand in the first picture lower right??

Andy told us to spice up the picture a bit... to Simon did.  I'm still blushing   

You asked for my observations on the flying of the nooners.  Well, they looked good to me!  Nice and fast when wanted, and nice and slow and easy to fly, when wanted.  They seemed to groove nicely as expected and once everyone gets used to their planes, after a couple of flights, flying the 300ft course will be easy.  Then it's just down to fine tuning one's racing skills.

Comparing the Nooner to the Formosa.  As much as I like the Formosa, it doesn't make a good pylon racer in my opinion.  I was never able to get mine to fly a course consistantly, whereas I expect (from past experience and observation the other day) we can with the nooners.

Thanks for your input Robert its nice to hear an observers opinion. Especially one that has experience with this type of plane. When you encouraged me to fly the 300' course I was impressed how easily the plane handled.  Now we need some others to get there planes done. Cough cough... I've built two already.  Come on boys join the fun, post some pictures and let's get this series off the ground!  (Pun intended!!)
