Finally!!!!

Just an update...
I finally mounted my new Whirlwind Propeller, it looks sharp too. I posted some pictures on the site and honestly think I should get bonus points in future contests just for the "cool factor". Initial test flight was very positive. The A/C accelerates faster on t/o cruises 5-10kts. faster at comparable power settings and now has some braking when I pull the power back.
It snaps about the same with this propeller I need to test it some more to find out if I actually get more vertical...I will keep you up to date.
Still need to sell my MT if anyone is interested.

First USA Advanced Team Camp in Borrego a Success

The first team camp was held in Borrego Springs, CA. The pilots have gotten straight to work on perfecting the "Q" or the known program for 2010. The team has also started on the development and strategy to be used for the "Free" programs. New rules such as the "Free Unknown" were reviewed and their impact on the contest was reviewed.

It was also a chance for the pilots to get together in a no pressure environment to learn of each others strengths and weaknesses.

Based on this camps success to more US Team camps have been planned. The dates have been tentatively set for late April and mid June.

First Team Camp Announced

The first USA Advanced Team Camp has been scheduled for January 15th and 16th, 2010 in Borrego Springs (L08), CA. The event is being hosted by IAC Chapter 36 "San Diego Hammerheads". "This is probably the best marked box around, with big CIVA legal markings" according to Reinaldo Beyer. Come out and visit the team as they begin preparations to win Gold! at the 2010 AWAC being held in Radom, Poland.

RADOM

Radom is a wonderful venue Spanky and I were there before and we had a great time. The people in Poland really went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at home.
We dont know whether we will be at the Last AWAC site or the practice field where they held the European Championships. I will let everyone know when I get the word.
see ya,
Robbie
