Hi Dennis,
Hearty congrats on your win, and also on your unique design. I remember seeing one of your V-tails designs a long time ago in the mags. The high-aspect ratio wing is most interesting. I'm really encouraged by your success with the inexpensive motor as well. I've actually ordered one of the Turnigy motors and some Zippy batteries to play with.
Just by the way, this coming Saturday, we are having our "Art Adamisin Cup" competition once again here in Johannesburg, South Africa. We were real privileged to have your dad out here for a couple of weeks in 1997, and he was the start of a great step forward for us in improving the standard of stunt and also our judging. We have this competition in his honor every 2nd year as part of our team selection process. If you speak to Big Art, then please convey our best wishes to him.
I will be flying my updated "Electron" with the MVVS 6,5/910 motor that's really working well now. Plenty power, and runs cool on a 4-cell 3300 mAh pack. My own timer with the hall-effect sensor for rpm is working well now, and I've also managed to make it work now with one of the motor wires to pick up the rpm. The cheap Hobbywing basic ESC without the governor feels like the Jeti Spin in governor mode, so hopefully this will work well in the Electron on Saturday. If it works out well, I'll post the details.
