Pylon racers

Yeah, and I'll get on with my Polaris. I did like the mini-cassut, though.

I'll draw it up for you if you want Reg. Just in case.

Gord,
 I downloaded the DIY plans for it, thanks. Maybe I'll do it anyway, although it might be a bit too much for indoor:

Reg, I've got a couple of NIB AR6410NBL bricks I ordered by mistake. I paid $20 + tax and would like to get $20 each. However, if you shop around, you can order them even cheaper.

So Gord - 16" span and a single cell battery? If 16" is a minimum, then things can't get silly.
(Hmmm......I have some decent drawings for the Lil Mongster biplane which won at Reno around 1967.)
 I think that rather than worrying about a race, we might work on just getting a "parade" together.

Gord;
I thought you might like this, you can buy it at home depot, but you need a long cord. Looks like the son of Sumo.

Martin:
Thanks, but if I go to a brick I think I might as well get one with servos integrated.

Cool little plane Reg. My kind of plane as it looks like it has beer cans for wheels.
  That would work too Martin. One I like is the Mong Racer 2. At least we'd have two to fly.

    You could cheat a little Reg with the plane as nobody is going to take measurements. Well I might bring my fishermans ruler. Just by lightening it up it would fly great. For instance they show a 10 gram motor. The one I'm putting in the micro Sumo is a 5 gram motor and the servos they show are over 2 gram and the linear ones are 1.5 grams or therabouts if I remember right. Lightweight is the secret. I have an extra rcvr with the 2 linear servos built on it and a plug in for an aileron linear servo. Here's those parts in a Kittycat..
   Cmon Gary. You need to trash your Beast and put the guts in one of these and buy a new Beast
   By the way, this is how I felt after my sister's Christmas dinner.

I've started the Mongster.
