Got these lovely, and heavy, magnets in the mail today. Excellent for plane nerds!

I am sooooo happy that the weather today (after a long period of fog) has allowed us to fly again!

Just got back from my chapter meeting.

Presenter was Mike Babcock, who built a full-competition Badlands Traveler and traveled the USA last season competing.

Runs a full-race Yamaha snowmobile (snow machine?) three-cylinder engine with massive turbocharger. Gets off the ground in about 30' and lands at 50' "if he does it right."

Went thru 3 engines last season, T/O power is 9800 RPM. He did not disclose T/O horsepower. Typical racer.
