    150-200cc Extra 300SP

    If there is a problem with the hardware, we replace the defective parts. The plane that won the XFC last week used 100% stock hardware, with the exception of the fuel and smoke tanks (these were made from water bottles). The Dubro ball links work fine: I have tried it myself to experiment...

    Can you believe this guy?

    I found interesting the statement"I have flown on this flight line for many years and rules for this event are very clear". That line is not many years old: is is a recent addition. First year was where the control line circle are now...not that long ago. The electric line did get a little...

    slope soaring who does it ? where and what are you flying?

    That site was probably not there in 82~83 when I flew power between Encinitas and San Marcos: the Palomar RC Flyers had site off of Rancho Santa Fe Rd. I flew with Jim Meister there, before moving North to Orange County where I started slope flying at Kite Hill. Now I feel really old!:(
