Re: [RCSE] Bored power pilots?

I agree that just plain sport flying can get boring rather quickly. If you REALLY want a thrill flying power, then try COMBAT! The current crop of Open 'B' planes are very quick to build, fly great and don't cost too much either. Try joining 6 or 8 of these in the air pulling 30 foot stream

[RCSE] Time for Another Tree Story (long)
