Title: 2020 NATS reporting
Post by: RC Storick on July 18, 2020, 02:24:25 AM

I am sorry I may not have covered your favorite person,circle or event. I am only 1 guy who is doing the best I can while trying to compete at the same time. So when I go to have fun and fly I am really going to work. Please bare with me and if I miss your standards please feel free to come and give me a hand.

Sparky,

Congrats on Top 20 in 2020.  And the coverage was nicely done.  Between the YouTube videos, this website, phone calls and everything else, the event was well reported.

thanks,

Peter

Is there a list anywhere of what planes were flown in the final 5 and the motors or power systems each plane had, along with the owner, of course?

No I'm sorry-not officially anyway.  There were three electric and two IC power plants in the top five.  This seems to be about the similar balance down the line with the Top 20.  There was no dominant design and quite a few original/one offs.  It obviously boiled down to pilot effort and good coaching.  There are a number of design and power concepts that are capable of winning as long as it is mixed with a large dose flying/trimming/practice.
