Roger,
Re suggestions on changes to the Wakefield rules, I am solidly with
John Clapp on this one, I would like to see proposals that will make
Wakefield more attractive and popular, rather than changes that will
squeeze people out.
Here in New Zealand this class is struggling for support and we need to
find ways to get more people involved. I feel that we are getting our
priorities wrong if we loose sight of this.

And re Doug Joyce's ' problem',
He did some work on the crank, increased the pitch by 0.5 inch, gained
500 rpm, and his terminal velocity went from 75 fps to 125 fps. That is
66% gain in max speed, !!!. What a problem to have !!!. (who needs
gears ?).
The question of course is how did he do it ?.
If he wants to tell us of course.
Perhaps it is the prop that is helping. I know that the C/L team race fliers
here are using a new prop design, very wide at the root tapering to a
very narrow tip, it provides much better acceleration (same top speed)
so gives better race times (one start, 2 or 3 pit stops).
It seems to me that this would be perfect for F1C, since the power run is
all about acceleration.

Great to have SCAT back online,
Regards
David Ackery
