Ponte number 10 is sorted..
Posted: 03 Feb 2022, 19:54
Heads Up..
It's sorted.. our 10th Ponte event is booked.
28th May is our all electric, any model RC day (i.c. control line is the exception)
29th May is the Retro do.. Same format as always.
The theme for this year is going back to our roots, Single Channel when about 20 of us turned up on that windy, cold day of our first ever meeting.
To expand..... there will be an award for the best button flyer of the day with a trad single channel model. This doesn't mean the best or largest model but the flyer who gets fully engaged in the spirit of things and importantly the model is flown on the button in true Mode Zero fashion. Throttle , Kick up (or down) ele all ok and everybody is welcome to join in even if you have propo rudder etc on an appropriate model, but you won't win the "Spirit of Single Channel Award..
This is additional to all the usual fun and games we've had over the past 9 events so if you don't fancy button pushing turn up and fly your fave retro models of choice.
More details soon.
PS, there will be a build feature in a future RCM&E if you want to make a single channel TX but there's plenty of info here on the forum and people willing to help if you want to get going sooner. You only need to ask.
Phil has plenty of S/C encoder pcb boards to sell so contact him if you're interested. For Spekky flyers, Stuart has plenty of Lemon 2.4g RF modules or use an old 35mHz one as Frank ( in Germany) has done many times now.
Cheers,
Shaun.
