Hi Guys,

Come and race your pylon planes at BBAFC on 26/11/06. The race starts at 130pm.

You can get the registration forms at RotorHobby, Singapore Hobby Supplies, Jet Hobby, PIPS Hobby and Sky Hobbies.

Hi Jiun Yi,

We will be there
When is the closing date for registration?

Thanks.

Try to register early so that the organiser can plan.

What speeds can your pylon planes reach?

What speeds can your pylon planes reach?

in theory for example the VIP on mega 16/15/3 on apc 4.75x4.75 on Flightpower 25C 1800-3S is 200km/hr level flight. We have a radar gun but so far no one is crazy enough to stand in the path of the pylons to measure the speed

WOW!! That's freaking fast and damn scary. Is the VIP available at the LHS?

I don't think VIP is available in LHS anymore.

I have 2 friends who have VIP but they felt that when compared to another pylon "Sokol", the sokol looks more fierce, is faster than VIP on same setup and the sokol has that whistling sound and the price is also very reasonable. I do have stock for sokol if you are keen

Would love to own the Sokol, but having a little cash flow problem...bought a few planes last month and just got another one recently. I'm now scartch building the Slipso 400, hopefully I can finish it in time for BBFC's pylon race.

Joe, if you want I can photocopy mine for you. Now you know why I need you to teach me how to cut some wings??

[YZY]

Yes the sokol is of a different class then the VIP. the VIP is considered a sport pylon. wayy to big a wing area.

[joe yap]

Yep, I need to cut myself a new pair of wing cores too. My brushless outfit cannot be fitted into my current plane. You can pay me a visit while I do my hotwire cutting tomorrow evening.
