Poland - Electric.

[Marty Pizzitola]

I don't think Jason's  reputation is at risk at all. I guess not many remember when CHIP had his little brush with trouble and was just about banned from flying and  dissappeared for a few years. He came back like nothing ever happened and kicked everyones ass and is still kicking ass.  Sponsors were at his feet begging for him to use their products.
Flying ability is what got Jason to this point. Let the man fly what ever !
Who are we to second guess anyone !

  I have to concur with Ron.  If Jason does not do well at the Worlds it will weigh heavily on his reputation; be scared he might.  If he does well ..... it may boost electric airplanes as a viable platform for competition.  

   

  He certainly is taking a risk.

  Here goes. If you are selected to represent your country flying one type of plane and power plant, is it kosher to switch to a new design or radically different power source, such as electric?

   


  My opinion - NO.  

  It wouldn't bother me so much if he wasn't doing it for (his) business reasons.  He'd better do very well or he will be second guessed forever.

  Just heard from my spy in Poland.     Jason Shulman arrived with an electric pattern plane.

   

  42 volt motor, 60 amps.  Flying weight of plane is 10.75 pounds.    Prop might be a 20x17.

   

  Very impressive and very quiet.    I don't know if his other plane is glow or electric.
