Robert looks like you guys had fun. what is the line lenth you guys use for jets?

Here is a brief summary from Andrew Robinson from the comp!!

Attached are the Speed results from our recent contest here in New Zealand.
Weather was great and lots of Jet flying mixed in with Team Race, Stunt and
Combat.
Patrick Hemple had a great time, in fact, still is having a great time.

Six entries in NASS Sport Jet which Andrew Robinson won with a solid 147.0
mph, Brendan Robinson was 2nd, 143.9 mph, Robert Bolton was 3rd, 142.9 mph
and Patrick Hemple was 4th, 142.3 mph.
Open Jet was won by Patrick Hemple at 191.5 mph with Robert Bolton 2nd on
173.78 mph and Andrew Robinson 3rd at 171.22 mph with 2 lines.
F2A and 21 Speed were also flown.

Robert Bolton flew his monoline 'Blue Thunder' kit model for the first time
on the Friday before the contest, did 140mph with a stock retainer in the
engine. Says that the model flies great and grooves like a train. Second
flight with a fast retainer did 175.25 mph, 1 mph faster than the current
NZ Record. Couldn't repeat the performance in the contest though. This was
with his home made engine which is a Super Burp design head and Bailey fast
tailpipe. He couldn't get his Bailey fast jet engine to run in the model.
Patrick Hemple had a new Jet Bill engine that he test flew also. Only got 7
laps out of it and had lots of trouble getting it to stay running. He
changed back to his Bailey fast and was away no trouble. More testing
required on the JB engine is required.

Please circulate to all interested people.

Regards,

Andrew Robinson
