Jim Roselle:
Hello all,
I received the OK from Robert to post an event were doing over on the Cox Engine Forum. It's our second running of Profile Scale Reed Speed and it's exactly what it sounds like. Profile scale planes with cox reed valve engines in a speed contest.
 Here's a couple of examples of the planes flown in the first event:


 
We had about fourteen planes built last time. If you want to participate its open to all cox engine forum members. You have until the end of November to get a flight in.

Larry,
Yes, any cox reed valve. The only restriction is no TDs' modified to take a reed.

WooHoo! That one's mine.  Recently refitted with a PeeWee engine.

  Very cool! Search the forums here and there may be something about our Golden Age Races we have had here in St. Louis for many years. Models must be reed engine powered, replicas of Thompson Trophy Racers, 18 inch span and a few other rules, but we also allow full fuselage models. Frank Beatty has had several of his designs, profile and full fuselage, published in Flying Models and Model Aviation. Common set of lines that everyone uses, club provided fuel and only Cox 5-3 grey prop allowed. Lots of fun and challenging!
  Type at you later,
