Hi guys,

They are crazy pilots IMHO. :shock:

Try that at Light Flight - The jewellery between your legs that one considers so desperately important will be on the chairman's toast for breakfast. :evil:

Maybe put up a poll. I maybe wrong, but I got the idea over the past year or so the activity by forum members picked up quite a bit.

I dunno if it is only talkers. ($$)

It sounds like quite a fun idea, but don't mix with anything from the bliks, scary. :shock:

Start on small scale, with a fun short distance event.

Just a thought. :idea:

The proposed race was 60miles, so would be hr's flying with 4 checkpoints. Trikes would go off at 7am and should all be down by 8.30. Bliks leave at 9 so no conflicts...

Sounds like a fun event. Would there be some kind of handicap system involved, to allow the under-privileged to compete against the GT450's?
