[NSRCA-discussion] 2008 Season wrap-up

[krishlan fitzsimmons]

I had only seen the 357 (333 on tape) by Spencer Lisenby  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQoVBvQacwE 

Holy cow!!!! 371 though....  That's pretty amazing.. Thanks for sending that link Scott!!

How do you like that 20S? I have a 24S that I was going to put in my Abbra but never did.. I've seen Jerry Budd have good success with it.. And lots of speed.

Two. 

281 flights on a Prestige A60-20S 

123 flights on a Prestige C50-XL14 

   

One motor mount failure on the A60 after a
1 ½ down snap.  (The ply disk delaminated…I was lucky the motor unplugged
itself before any real damage was done.)  

I’ve greased the gear box in the C50
three times and replaced the wheels on the #1 plane (after 374 flights total.) 
That’s it for maintenance and why I really like the electrics.  

Oh, and I like the idea of pulling the
motor routinely…I might have caught the A60 loosening up! 

   

Chris,  Speaking of slop soaring, have you
seen the 371 mph record setting flight?  Amazing what Joe and others are
doing!  (I think he could use some help though in the pitch control department
from the likes of DeanP or MattK!)   How many G’s you figure that 65#
plane is pulling in those turns?

Since the list is slow… 

  

I’m guessing I flew my last
flight for 2008 today; it’s just getting too cold here in
 New England !  So barring a warm spell, I ended with
404 flights since April 17th.  Contests were a little light
with three district meets and the Nat’s.  Electrics worked very well
for me with battery cost currently at $2.91 per flight. 

(I know, I know…it’s
sick I count flights.  But that’s my aviation upbringing and
computer nerd side!) 

  

How many flights/contests did you do
this year?
