Yea, I think Tripp is going to include the Polcat is the liberal definition of UM warbird.

They all seem to be comparable in speed.

I'm having a hard time deciding what I want to race... I love my UM Mosquito but I aldo have my modified F2G Corsair....

Decisions, Decisions.

Yes after talking with Chris we will allow the polecat to fly in the races.

Just bind them both to the same transmitter, It will be a hoot.

UMX PoleCat is a sweet pylon racer, a few years back at KIEF a micro pylon race was awesome, I got a chance to race with Joe Malinchak and serveral great micro pilots. The rules where wingspan, motor/battery combo and the plane had to be a modeled after a real pylon race plane. Great Fun.

ULTRA-MICRO WARBIRD RACES

Ultra micro class airframe with stock setup.
Brushed motor
1s battery
Each pilot must have a caller who counts laps and cuts

5 aircraft launch at the signal of the event coordinator. Pilots will fly 10 laps around 2 pylons making left turns. First to complete 10 laps wins. The penalty for cutting a pylon is an extra lap.

Race times are:

Thursday 18.00

Friday 18.00

Saturday 18.00

These are the basic rules for the race.

I think you need to read again I have not put UMX anything just UM.........


Actually I changed it so you would get off my back about it.....

You racing with us?

prolly so.....

Ok here are the planes that you can race...

UM WARBIRD

1. UM Mosquito
2. UM P51
3. UM Corsair
4. UM T28
5. UM Polecat (I know its not a warbird)

UM JETS

1. UM Mig
2. UM F86

Start letting me know if you want to race. So far we only have 3 and I know there are more than that who want to race.

Are all of these planes by Horizon? Are other micros allowed in? I think Great Planes and Hobby Lobby have some micros out there too.

All are Parkzone UM's the Migs are eflite and the F86 is the great planes micro,not real sure about the others like the ones from ERC, does anyone know how some of the other UM's compare to the parkzone UM's?Dave you and Jay have several of the UM's have either of you flown any of the others you asked about? Are they about the same as the parkzone um's?

Jay may know but I don't. He is traveling today. Maybe we can get a post from him tomorrow. How about input on this from other owners of micros from manufactures other than Horizon? How do those other micros compare to the horizon planes? Is speed and maneuverability close enough to be comparable and allow even, head to head racing? Lets hear from some folks who have Great Planes, Hobby Lobby and other micros. What plane do you have and how do you think it flys relative to any of the Horizon ones? Thanks!

That sounds good would like to see what Jay or anyone for that matter thinks,like I said I know eRC has a few micro warbirds and Flyzone has a couple of WW1 micro warbirds also.

I just spoke with Bill at HH he didnt know about the eRC planes but he did tell me the Flyzone micros would not stand a chance against the parkzone planes but its a micro warbird and if someone wanted to put one in the race I wouldnt stop them. Dave or Chris whats your take on this?
