Title: How many new models at the KOI?????
Post by: EddyR on January 11, 2011, 07:27:19 PM: How many of you like my self will have a new unflown model at the KOI and expect to fly it in the contest???? HB~>
I see people do this at Huntersville and think ,how could they be so stupid. y1
I may even have my old time model fixed and fly it with no practice flights on it. ~^
Ed "the stupid one"

Post by: john e. holliday on January 12, 2011, 04:11:28 PM: Surely you jest. Any model at the KOI will probably be testflown before the competition starts. It would not surprise me to see new models at a contest and the contestant trying to get it flying before the competition starts. Get to Tuscon early and see how many are out testing and trimming. Don't forget the pictures for those of us stuck at home. H^^

Like Ed and others , I will have a new model , But all day Friday and Saturday I hope to get in alot of trim flights before the Sunday Skill class. Too much snow here to get any flying since Christmas

I may collapse from heatstroke in those conditions! I don't think we have seen 60° here since Halloween!

One thing to remember is this is a course grass field and you should bring a set of slightly larger wheels with you. The site is clear on all sides, should have nice clean air. Near by food and shopping on site restrooms.

Bringing my trusty electric Excitation profile and converted Stuka.

Best, DennisT

I don't know how many are out there, but they are no longer being made. Power is up slightly but is totally consistent. They were made by Tony Cincotta in Austrailia.
