Check out the Q40's with the Nelsons and Jetts, there doing 10 laps, 2 1/2 miles just over a minute. Times 1:01-1:05.

Re: Xtreme Composite (E) Pylon Racer, anyone have one?
It would be great to finally have some competition! Here's a video of what I got. He's only around 500 watts though.....mine was closer to 1000!!!! Not a lot faster though, as it takes a lot of power to gain any speed when you get close to 200 mph. I think I'm going to tame mine down and go with this guys set up. Mine is just too hard to launch and land with the extra weight.

Re: Xtreme Composite (E) Pylon Racer, anyone have one?
Sorry, mine is not in selling condition right now. I botched a hand launch, so she needs some repairs.

Sucks that Jiri isn't making them anymore, it's a rockin' airframe.

Re: Xtreme Composite (E) Pylon Racer, anyone have one?
Well Greg, you should when you have time shoot me a link or post a link to a rig like yours fully decked with what I'd need. I'd love to set one of those up for next summer for sure!

Whoooooo, post 1500!!!

Well, this is the best place to find out what you need to make your wallet lighter: http://www.rcgroups.com/high-performance-9/

Icare carries a few airframes, and soaringusa.com has a whole bunch. The Sunracer seams to be very popular, so maybe check out the thread on that one.
