Both the design and the quality are superb.
Hign quality epoxy glass fuselage with carbon canopy. Good woodwork. The wing is pressure moulded so the fine quality veneer follows the swept wing tips etc, hard razor thin trailing edge. Never seen a veneered foam wing this good. I guess HL may be trying to work out what market aim this at and if it fits. They carry very little of the range and F5D-Limited as a racing class seems to have limited support outside mainland Europe. The one I saw had 3 cells and a Mega 22/10/5 -- Dave |

Hey guys
Hobby Lobby will more than likely carry the Left Turn but the plane is currently on back order with Simprop. More information to come. Jim T. Graham PR - Hobby Lobby |

To say exactly: The Wing is moulded but not in the way you are thinking about. ![]() ![]() ![]() The difference between "LiftOff xxs" and "Turn Left" wing is that the last one has a spar inside. So the wing is perhaps twice as stiff as the xxs. But it is still not enough for a clean F5D setup - absolutely not! So perhaps 500W engine class might be a sensible upper limit for this model. But we still did not test this! In "F5D-Limited" race we fly GM Dr.Speed engines having 250-300W and the wing doesn't show remarkable bending during turns. A "LiftOffxxs" wing can collapse during F5D race as Paul Schreiber showed in Kirchdorf/GER 2003 - with a 250-300W engine! So there is a difference between these wings but we actually did not test the limit on the 0-series "Turn Left" airframes. Because it is quite hard to get a new one! ![]() ![]() During this season we flew the 0-series planes in "F5D-Limited" competition here in Germany and we had quite a lot of fun. ![]() ![]() Siggi |

![]() ![]() ![]() The racing in both classes is very different: In F5D you have no time for tactics or tricks. In F5D-Limited you have enough time to fight for positions. You can fly a turn in a manner that your competitors have to give way - or you hit them! So in Kirchdorf we tried to start in very very short period, around 1.5-2 seconds all 3 models were airborne. So you have now 6-7 rounds where nobody can get rid of his competitors around! ![]() "F5D-Limited" is always a good reason to try pylon racing for the first time. And if you had been there once, you will never get rid of pylon virus for your whole life! ![]() ![]() Siggi |

"F5D-SD PYLON RULES PURPOSE The purpose of this class is to provide a competition, which enables the development of new F5D pilots. The rules result in an aircraft that is easier to launch, has good flying characteristics and flies at a speed near that of a normal F5D racer. The class will equalize the aircrafts speed capabilities and will result in the best pilot winning. This class is designed around an Avionic D99 aircraft but any aircraft that meets the surface area requirements may be flown. D2000 $255 Icare-rc (not SDF5D legal) D99 $259 Icare-rc 27/26/2 $125 Aveox SL-18 $120 Aveox RULES The races shall be conducted under the current FAI F5D rules except as follows: 1. Motor Allowed: Aveox 27/26/2 [1010-2Y equivalent] 2. Speed Control Allowed: Aveox SL-18 3. Cells Allowed: Seven Zapped Sanyo CP1300 4. Propeller Allowed: APC 6.5x5.5 5. Minimum Surface Area (wing and stab combined): 175 sq. in. 6. All racers will launch at the same time. 7. Finish order will determine the winner. 8. Cuts will be assessed a one lap penalty (unless the plane goes back and makes the turn). Troy Peterson" |

Hi Siggi,
We are maybe starting a limited class in Finland too but with cheap brushless motors. What would you choose for TurnLeft from this list of Mega motors? http://www.strat.at/ the link is on the left. Do you know what is the Kv. of the Dr.Speed 21T what you are using? Still remember what koskenkorva is ![]() /Antti |
