I would call this more of an event than a contest, but feel free to think of it as a contest if you wish. Maybe a bit like precision f/f events where you try to achieve a specified flight time, except that here you have to guess the time if you want to "win". The bottom line is that Larry is free to run whatever he likes, it's a free country as they say. The danger in complaining is that there is always the standard answer, - "Fine, if that's the way you want it, you organise and run it!".

Doc,

     The needle valve is generally part of the engine, it protrudes out from the side or rear and can be turned to adjust the fuel flow to the engine. 
Just kidding!!!

Let us say you are right we offer a trophy to the fastest Perky out there.  Remember that anyone can enter even if they do not have a perky, simply say they do and submit a speed.  They do not even need to be a control liner.  I see nothing but problems as those who do legally enter will not be satisfied in someones word ... what a can of worms that would be.
    As for Black Hawk Models we DO NOT RECOMMEND using Perkys'' for high speed flying.  The plane was designed for speeds around 50 mph to 70 mph and since the U. S. is full of lawyers that would put us out of business for supporting a dangerous part of the hobby that results in an injury, we will NOT be involved. 
    For those who want to run the Perky in a dangerous manner ... that is up to you.  So if you decide to do it, do not drag us into it, we will not be your scape goat.

Trophy is on its way.
