I was private messaging with another member and the subject of prop hanging came up.
 Here's an idea I came up with:


 Here's my idea for a great .15 event:

Remove the 70mph speed limit but limit engines to anything that originally sold for $80 or less when new. Limit props to $5 or less and you can modify it however you want as long as it passes safety inspection. That way you can try and go as fast as you want without it becoming a spending contest.

Glow or diesel only.

Limit SLOW speed to 15 or 20 mph and penalize or DQ for going slower. Landing attempts start on your first pass after slow speed laps, 10 point per lap penalty for not landing.

 100 point scale bonus, 3 views required.  Also a multi engine and biplane bonus would encourage a little creativity.



I'm curious what people think about this.

I like 15 the way it is. There is no penalty for exceeding 70, just 70 points max. Makes any motor competition and emphasizes flying in my view.

Like John and my buddy Joe said, leave .15 as is.  If locally you are concerned with "hanging", just say now hanging allowed.  Some have a problem with hanging on the prop, I don't, but I'm also not good enough at it to make a difference.  Just ask Joe. 

Joe-Hope to see you and Ginny and the Portland contest.

Duke, We will becoming down on Sat and will stay over Sunday night as well.  I am toying with bein g a "Bottom Feeder" as well by flying BPA to remember our departed friend Jerry Olsen.
Dave Miller and I will of course be EDing the Carrier event.  Sure hope we have a great turn out.  If we have enough entries I plan on offering a NIB  FOP .40 for the person closest in score to all the scores listed.
