Sport 40 2012
After a brake of 5 years Sport 40 is to return for the 2012 championship
To me the demise of sport40 back in 2006 came as a big disappointment, but the
truth was that technology even for a sport class, had moved on to a point where it was
no longer accessible to your average model flyer and also not very club
friendly (too quick). The requests from Club flyers wishing to have ago at
pylon has been high for some time, we did try to run the Q500 class but to be
honest the models just did not inspire anyone even us trying to promote the
class. With this in mind we started to look again at sport40 and located some of the plugs to mould the fuselages, word soon got around and orders came into PB models (Paul Bardoe) , which court Paul off guard he did not even have a mould and the first batch was sold! second batch has now been produced and I believe half that has been sold.
If you fancy flying pylon and want a great looking model that you can race at a proper
race meeting, that looks great and also can be flown like your favourite sports
model at the club site contact PB model for the latest list of models
available, it’s growing week by week. Currently in stock are Pole cats, Tazers
and Bummers Bullet ready for purchase.
There are a few basic rules which are as follows.
Engine must cost no more than £80, be of no more than 7.5cc, be front induction side exhaust,
have a carburettor and silencer , Simple.
Airframe rules basically any old Sport40 model/ F3D will do, the rules currently will
allow the use of old/second hand moulded wings, but this might be amended in the future. I can’t see that any advantage would be gained by having one, when you notice that the old sport40 record has never been held with one. So save your money.
A few test races have taken place at the end of 2011 season returning times
around the 120 second mark making for a very friendly sports class.
If you would like more information on models rules etc please feel free to contact me through the
web site or Paul Bardoe at PB Models
