Another good choice for beginners is the Push-E Cat. An all EPP speed 400 motor glider. We've had a couple of folks learn on the Push-E at our filed. The biggest benefit is the minimum down time from a crash something that seems to discourage a lot of beginners. You could even make an

The format was psuedo-F3J, basically F3J with winches, skegs and teeth. To summarize, the format was a 10-minute slot for each flight group, one relaunch allowed, last flight to count, FAI landing tape (5 points per meter), scores normalized within the flight group. There were 25 flyers

Bozo, #1 for me - Lee Renaud. He may not have been the best pilot, not have been the best flier, and may not have won the best contests...but he did more for RC and soaring specifically than pretty much any single person in my memory. I know that many who had the chance to meet him would
