NSRCA Mailing List<BR><B>Subject:</B> Re: [NSRCA-discussion] YS 160DZ
availability<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Lots of guys still buying YS 160's you would be
surprised at the numbers. I was astonished at the number of motors they have
in each shipment and they still go like hotcakes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Not to take anything away from Electric pattern
models. They have a very real niche in the sport. But remember the majority of
guys at the NATS were not flying Electric just many of the top 10-12 in
FAI were flying electric. In Masters the percentage was extremely small.
And then the same guys were in the top as past years in Masters flying glow
made the choice to fly electric this last year and finished at the top
again... Did electric make them fly better, nope they are good pilots. A pilot
that struggles with trimming and flying proper geometry will still struggle
with those things flying electric. Same with FAI same guys in the finals
of FAI same guys as usual but many this time around were flying
electric. Only a handful running electric in Masters and in the 402
and 403 classes they were definitely dominated by glow motors. Remember only
a small percent of pilots fly F3A and the majority of guys fly the AMA
classes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I take the position that the power plant doesn't
make you win. It is just another option out there. You need the power to work
for you. It is very possible to have a dead stick with Electric as well as
glow. The electric setup is not for everyone. Jason has told us this time and
again, and I feel he is correct. Each system has some advantages and some
dis-advantages. The Electric is new and it turns heads. The top guys are
running it....so it turns even a few more heads. Does it do the job. Yep sure
does it does the job in spades just like a 160DZ will. We saw this at the
Worlds. The 2 of the top 3 spots in individual were YS and the Team Trophy
went to all Glow powered. Did electric make huge advances at the worlds YES it
did. Did it replace Glow NO. Just like 2 strokes didn't replace 4 strokes.
Each has its advantages. The more choices the better in my book. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think there are more people looking at pattern
these days since there is an electric option. This is good it could bring in
some more people to pattern.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We as the pattern community really need to get
out and promote the sport and hobby. If electric sparks some interest then
cool get some guys flying electric. Today I flew with Mark Leeseberg and he
got his hands on my Pinnacle with the YS 160DZ in it. He was amazed at the
power it had going uphill. Not that his Electric Eclipse is lacking power by
any means it was just different. He got a real thrill out of letting the YS
eat! I'm not knocking anyone's choice. I have played with them all and
fly the one that works the best for me this will always be the
case. There are lots of choices in lots of price ranges. This can only
help to make pattern more appealing to some. I really don't think our sport is
governed by the $$$$. Look at how many people fly big IMAC planes. They are
expensive, but they are cool, and they are fun to fly. For me I love what I'm
flying and will continue to fly what I love to fly regardless of if its
E-power, YS, Rubber power, hydrogen Power or whatever. It has to be
fun!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Perhaps Electric pattern will bring some of this
fun, excitement, and cool factor back to pattern. I know Tony Frakowiak is
only flying pattern again because of electric. Are we better to have him and
his expertise, I think so. The way I look at it the more pilots the better,
and the more fun. I have a huge passion for Precision flying and I know lots
of people feel this way. We need to be open and available to nurture this
passion. We all choose our own models based on our expectations and needs. I'm
one that has a huge investment in my pattern models. I run the equipment that
I feel is the best for me. Relationships with companies that many top pilots
have are beneficial for everybody. Jason, Chip, Quique, and Tony helped to
flush out a good system in the Hacker motor. Myself, Chip, Quique, Sean, Don
have helped YS develop an outstanding product in the 160DZ. You can't read the
sticker on the guys plane an assume he is being bought and paid for. Its just
not the case. People choose different products for different reasons. Look at
Quique running OS EFI motors and winning the NATS. Then the next year
switching to YS and still winning the NATS. The result is these guys have fun
and are great pilots.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Its all about making it fun. We need to get
back to making it fun. Electric pattern makes it fun for some guys. A YS 160
grunting out a 45 degree upline 1.5 snap or Reverse Avalanche makes it
fun for others. In pattern we get critical of everything and read meaning into
little things that really have no meaning. I do it and I know others do it
too. Fly what works for you and when we meet up...I'M having fun this
year!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Make it Fun!</FONT></DIV>
