longezdave Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'm a little late, but wanted to make sure everybody knows about the race this weekend. It is at Taylor, Texas this saturday 11-22-08. Here's a link to race info - http://www.sportairrace.org/id184.html I got a taste at racing on my first race last October in Memphis and it is a lot of fun. I hope there will be some other interested canard types come out and help me show the RV guys what we can do - again. It's a good bunch of people and it is well run and safe. Rick P. is registered with his Long EZ RG and I intend to be there. Come on out and say hi or better yet enter!

TMann Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Wish my plane was done. I could compete in the RG Blue group. My 20B will measure under 360 Cu. In.

longezdave Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 We had a good race Saturday. There were 18 racers, but I was the only canard. I hope next season some of you give it a try, because it is a lot of fun. I've got the racing bug now. Here's a link to the results - http://www.sportairrace.org/id247.html The only problem was that Bruce Hammer had a fairing come loose and had to make a precautionary landing. He ripped it off and got back in the race and ended up being the fifth fastest at over 257 MPH. My little O-235 was the smallest engine in the race, but I still beat five planes. You have to love the efficiency of these planes! Quote Dave Adams Long EZ N83DT Race 83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMann Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I hope I can make that next year. Great showing Dave!
