I just picked up the plaques for the SR2K man-on-man
spring series. There will be ribbons awarded for the individual
race classes this Sunday as always.
There were plenty of entries in the 48 inch foamie class
so their plaques are a tad larger and they will be awarded
1st though 3rd.

Built correctly, the MAD Highlander is as good or better than
any balsa 2ch (RE) floater of it's size (2m). It will take a harder
winch launch than most balsa floaters too.

Check out my program in Don Edberg's book for the
8U radios. It is in the appx and is for flapperons for
the Hitec 555 and Futaba 8U.
The book is worth much more than just my program.
There are a lot of great tips in there you will find useful.

To begin, the following comments are regarding combat
in So. California and not Slope Racing.
Yes, the glass elevon will make the foamie fly better, but think
of it this way. Most of you do not own your slope. All your
pilots MAY have AMA, but if AMA knew you were flying
combat with glass

Not the intent at all Kevin. These rules were developed for
safety, simplicity and sportsmanship in slope racing, not
combat. The people that are objecting 1) are misinterpreting
them, 2) are a minority, or 3) don't belong in those beginner
classes anyway. The foamie classes are being developed
