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!

Wish my plane was done.

I could compete in the RG Blue group.

My 20B will measure under 360 Cu. In. (39.9 x 3 x 3)

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.

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!

I hope I can make that next year.

Great showing Dave!
