Jason/Impact

[Jason]

Thank you Bill. I have another Impact (came in while at the Nats) and I will
be putting an OS-140 in it, but don't look for it to be done until November
(have to put a few 40%ers together for the Master/Shootout). Here is the RCU
link to the Impact thread.

3 flying, 2 are electric, the other has a DZ in it (9lbs 8ozs).

  Jason:
  Congratulations!  Really enjoyed watching the FAI finals - lots of great
flying.  The new plane you were flying really looks good - especially for
the money.
  Do you have any experience with the new "Impact" using a glow motor?
  Thanks.
  Bill

    The 3 electric set-up's were as follows:

    Motors- Hacker Brushless C-50 14XL 6.7:1 Acro
    Controllers- Jerry and I used the new Master-90-Acro and Marty used the
Master-77-O-F
    Prop- APC-E 22x12
    Batteries- Thunder Power 6000, 10 Series 3 Parallel

    Jerry flew Tony's Partner, Marty flew a Focus 2 and I flew the new
Composite-ARF Impact. I never did get to see Marty's plane fly, but it
appeared that Jerry's Partner flew slower than my Impact.

        Jason was asked if he had enough power toward the end of his
flights, he said he has more power at the end than in the beginning,
attributes it to warmer batteries. He runs the motor at part throttle as
soon as he is on the clock and lets it run until his caller puts in on the
ground, I assume to get things warm before taking off.

        The three electric pattern planes were all running similar motors
and batteries. One thing I found interesting is the planes are not any
quieter than the good gas setups. Quiqui was running a 4 blade prop on his
DZ and it was very quiet. I don't know the diameter or pitch, but he was not
hurting for pulling power.

          Eric Henderson collected data from as many contestants who filled
it
          out for him. He will post it with his Nats coverage.

          There were three electric airplanes flown: Jason Shulman (1st
F3A),
          Jerry Budd (2nd Master) and Marty Matthews (~30th Master).
          All had plenty of power.
