Hi Chief,

I almost feel like I know enough about Carrier now that I am sure I don't know a thing!

Gonna fly a three liner for the very first time once the treatments are over and the weather is nice.

I have been timer at last two contests here in Tucson,Az.  Up front on flight line it takes good skills to keep that bird going.  Engine/ pilot/ plane need to be in good shape.
Class 1/class 2 go over 100 mph. Some nostalgia birds are even faster. Stunt if fine but not only game wired for excitement.

Where in stunt is there any excitement?  The only place I even take a deep breath is the first corner of the outside squares.  Well, that and admiring the paint jobs and finishes in the pits.

(This is NOT a shot at stunt flyers or the stunt event -- they are enjoyable in their own right, but I wouldn't characterize the flying as exciting).

I have been selling carrier to some of the local newbies as the last place you can do whatever you want to squeeze out performance, massage the engines, make all the noise and nitro fumes you want and still have to learn how to tweek and fly the plane (Since there is no Speed contests near us).  The seeds have started to bear a little fruit, as I hope to have at least two new pilots flying a couple of events at our Spring contest.

Sounds good to me.
