When SPA first allowed electric power, there was a "classic pattern" plane at a contest that sat on its landing gear at at least a 45-degree angle to accommodate the looonnnggg prop on the motor. We fixed that by limiting both the KV and prop length. Electric, under our current rules, is just as competitive as glow power, BTW.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:purple'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:purple'><span class="signature-truncate"><span class="signature-truncate"><span class="signature-truncate"><span class="signature-truncate"><span class="signature-truncate"><span class="signature-truncate"><span class="signature-truncate"><span class="signature-truncate"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="signature-truncate"><span class="signature-truncate"><span class="signature-truncate"><span style="color: #8b8b8b;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="font-size: 11px;"><span style="font-size: 10px;"><strong><i><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><span style="font-size: 14px;"> Phil Spelt, KCRC Emeritus</span style="font-size: 14px;"></span></i></strong><b><i><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><span style="font-size: 14px;"> AMA 1294, Scientific Leader Member</span></strong><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><span style="font-size: 14px;"> SPA L-18, Board Member</span></strong><br><strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><span style="font-size: 14px;"> Oliver Springs, TN (865) 435-1476v (865) 604-0541c</span style="font-size: 14px;"></span style="font-size: 14px;"></span style="font-size: 14px;"></span></strong></i></b><br><span class="signature-truncate"><span class="signature-truncate"><span class="signature-truncate"><span class="signature-truncate"><span class="signature-truncate"></span class="signature-truncate"></span class="signature-truncate"></span class="signature-truncate"></span class="signature-truncate"></span class="signature-truncate"></span style="font-size: 10px;"></span style="font-size: 11px;"></span style="font-size: 12px;"></span style="font-size: 13px;"></span style="color: #8b8b8b;"></span class="signature-truncate"></span class="signature-truncate"></span class="signature-truncate"></div style="text-align: left;"></div style="text-align: center;"></span class="signature-truncate"></span class="signature-truncate"></span class="signature-truncate"></span class="signature-truncate"></span class="signature-truncate"></span class="signature-truncate"></span class="signature-truncate"></span class="signature-truncate"><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:purple'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:purple'><hr size=2 width="100%" align=center id=zwchr></span></div><div><p><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>This change will drive motor manufacturers to develop lower kV motors to effectively use the power.
