I have a 28" span, 130+MPH speed400 pylon racer with a 350watt power system. I don't actually race it but it does replace my morning coffee!

HELL YES!!!! Fast is good, way too fast is better!!! ROCK IT!!!

Lizano · 10-10-2006, 11:05 PM

some videos?????

Matchless · 10-11-2006, 12:08 AM

Videos? Ok.... Here's one....

I like the idea of having a FG Pylon section. The FG members seem to have varying interests in the RC hobby, and I don't see any reason why FG should not represent that.

Here's a vid I put together of my QM40 Sport prototype I did for the RCPRO.

I've done the 428 stuff, and the 422, as well as intro type Q-500 racing. Bring it on!!!

Nothing like flying circles around yourself at close to 200MPH!!!

I think the title says it all "Flying Giants" Nothing like flying around yourself at over 200 MPH with a Giant. Go to NMPRA they like those little birds that fly slow.

I voted yes, we just had a few texan pylon races and they are great fun!

The airplanes may have been small - but the attitude was giant!

I say bring it on. Lets rock and roll around the pylons.
