Jason, I respect what you say, even though I still don't see how having three classes would diminish the competition. I would have to agree if you look at it as you would the regional level of a national track meet. Though there are many county and local champions who would not make the olymp

Dudes, Are there really only 50 competitive fliers in the ESL? Does the website only list the top 50 fliers, top 17 sportsmen and top 33 experts? If there are, I[not being an ESL member] would ask why someone would need more classes? = Dennis Phelan _

Hi Mike, Did you have a chance to get me some amplifiers?  I have some servos waiting for repairs. I had dinner with Stu in Atlanta, and talked to one of the guys in on his 'project'. Turns out he can't afford to buy carbon and kevlar cloth so he can build any planes right now.  This project is
