Ken,

re: "I could do the racing matix so that Frank and Andy are racing a couple of round."

Andy would really get value for money ($/seconds) out of this plane. :D

I think I would prefer FPV if I'm going to be flying at 120 knots!  I could even take @Frank v B for a low pass over the Amaranth field so he could choose his favourite planting spots!!

Cory Paine             16 Pts.        FT. 1:09
Glenn Nikolaiko      15                    1:32
Dave Ford              14                    1:20

Mike Baker                8                   1:22

As you can see everyone's times have come down from last years racing. This race we had a few mishaps Rick Paine lost a Dara { now has a replacement thanks to me}, Frank, Michael and Simon had a few issues, Dave Ford had a bad take off and crashed, but the only damage was to the spinner and prop, Mike Baker had a aileron servo gear go and had to with draw.
If anyone needs a E F 1 plane, I still have another Dara and a used Polecat. Also planning to bring in a new Outrageous ARF {all white covering}. I have a couple of E F 1 kits in stock, an Outrageous and a Wagner Solution, these would be a good winter build.
Our next two races are in Sept. 9 and 30, hope everyone has a great summer. Where are the Hazelton brothers???

Great showing TEMAC racers!!!!!! 

How did @Frank v B move up to 3rd last?  :-*

Michael

For the record, everyone listed below my name (in the above post) is a better and faster flyer than me.

The rules heavily penalize those that crash and don't have a back-up plane.

... but it just goes to show, you don't have to be that great to participate.

Thanks again to Corey for helping me in each race.

I had a great time!

Michael

My dad had an oops in the his race with me, that sucked. bye bye Dara.

Aaand Simon has also found the course, setting good times and getting wins! look out everyone!!

Thanks again all for a great race, and good times!

Bruce,

re:"How did @Frank v B move up to 3rd last?  :-*"

Sometimes I screw up and end up in a better place. ;)

Cory, notice no "still ugly" comment from Simon.  He would have to change it to "still fast" ;D

Hey Cory,

re: Simon's  "He's fast. But ugly!"

You missed your chance to get back at Simon for his comment so I will do it on your behalf.

Simon: "He's slow... butt ugly!!" ;D

Frank

ps: Cory, stop being so darn polite. :D

Geez, i thought my "I'm half British"  comment was pretty good! Austin powers and everything! .... I only have so many rounds in the chamber!
My other half is Italian... thats where the speed comes from!

On a racing note, I noticed there was a 3 way tie for 3rd?  thats cool! and Glen took 2nd. Congrats Glen!

Simon,

About the costume.

Glenn and I were commenting that next time we should show up as the contractor(s) from the YMCA Village People.  We have to wear the hard hats anyways. ;D ;D
