Formosa Pylon Race at TEMAC

October 3rd, 2009 5 comments

It was the second day of the TEMAC FunFly event, where members of other clubs are welcome to fly at our field for the whole weekend, meet new people, exchange knowledge on how to crash better, etc. Quite a windy day (20km/h+), but still very flyable.

So this is what happens when you group a bunch of people with the same airplane and stick pylons to two poles:


(special thanks to my camerawoman)

My Formosa specs are:

ESC: Turnigy Sentry 25A
Motor: Turnigy 2830-1050Kv
Propeller:10×5 APC style
Servos: 4x MKS311 (digital)
Receiver: AR6100
Battery: Flightmax 1300mAh 3S 20C

Except for the receiver, everything came from HobbyKing… why pay 5 times more from a local store for the same thing? I like the description of their new T-Shirt:

Strike fear into the hearts of store owners by wearing this 100% cotton topic of conversation to your local hobby store & watch their attitudes change as you proudly wear your battle dress whilst perusing the shelves of overpriced locally acquired merchandise.
Prepare to be loved or hated at your next R/C convention or meet-up.

Oh yeah, indeed!
