New York is doing the virtual STAR program so all build events will not be running at least for the regional/state competitions, I'm not sure about invitationals. Last year/this year's rules were rough but I'm still going to miss it, broken props, torn covering, planes stuck in basketball hoops/ligh...

What do you think next years rules will be like based on past patterns.

Can anyone advise me on how to reduce friction in ball bearings. I bought open ones and then put them in wd40. They are still not that free. Any advice? Thanks You may want to try cleaning out the bearing before wd40? If you have lighter fluid or acetone (nail polish remover), pour some into a cup ...
