<DIV>Hmmm.......180-200m is supposed to be a mandatory downgrade. Never thought I'd see an Astral appear to be an Aurora in the air <G>.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>At the rather windy Tangerine, Jason won FAI flying electric on Saturday and glow on Sunday. Only round Jason lost was when the very new DZ chewed up a plug and flamed out. I flew electric the whole weekend and finished in 2nd.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Emory won 3 rounds in Masters flying electric and might have won the rest if he was able to return on Sunday.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Electric or glow, I'm all for my competitors flying at 180+ meters!!! <G></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I personally will be taking ‘electric-like’ comparisons to my glow setup out of the vocabulary for good! For a while it has been a goal for few, and myself included, to try to get glow to perform in the same window as electric setups. I’m damn glad to put that phase behind me. I do like the speed control offered by the 18.1x10.1 and the 15.75x10 3 blades, but they have the “ballistic” option available when needed too – as attested to by the Tangerine contest. While I don’t think I need to fly as fast as David Shulman (… who may still be apologizing the air-molecules the Australl was splitting apart), I’m not going to be flying “touchy-feely” stuff anymore either. At this point I still think “medium” is a nice thought to have, but it was also pretty cool to see some “big” maneuvers flown again around the 180-200 mark again. <o:p></o

The Mejlic is about 2.5 oz lighter and would spin up little better even if it did load the engine(O.S.1.40) more. Had a very electric like transition on throttle and a very constant speed. Engine rpms did not seem to increase from 5/8 to full throttle but you had the power as you advanced the throttle in uplines.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
