This weekend is the Ted Dock Memorial FAC contest in Muncie, IN.\u00a0 I love flying at Muncie because of the 2-mile square AMA National site.\u00a0 “Most” of the time, that’s big enough to keep the planes on the field.<\/p>\n

I’ve been meaning to build a new NoCal for a year and a half, but I had my trusty and dependable P-39 left over from years ago.\u00a0 It was built in 1995 and even won me 3 events in the last year and a half – so why replace it?\u00a0 Well, the domestic tissue finally started to crumble and the plane suffered more damage at Geneseo than could be repaired.\u00a0 So I taped it together and put it on the shelf.<\/p>\n

So, I planned to build a NoCal, but contests keep coming!\u00a0 I dug out my last viable old plane, my Ohka.\u00a0 It is even older (1993) but not very reliable.\u00a0 But it eked out two more NoCal wins in the last couple of months.\u00a0 But I need something that won’t break in a mild gust.<\/p>\n

Tonight, I finally built that New NoCal.\u00a0 Here is my new Bf109e, slapped together in a few hours tonight.\u00a0 It weighs about 8.5g for the 42 square inches – I purposefully made it beefy.Tomorrow, I will pack it up and head down to Muncie for the last FAC contest at the great site this year.\u00a0 With any luck, I will be competitive!<\/p>\n
