'yea pretty much everything from rubber to tissue tubes has been covered already. Can't think of much else. Just look back through the thread and you'll find anything that you need.

Personally, I'd suggest a broad blade ikara. If you modify it yourself a little bit, you can make a pretty efficient propeller. Don't like the regular style Ikara though. The regular style uses a blade where the majority of the plastic is behind the spar, which is pretty dumb. Blades with plastic mainly in front of the spar flex at high torque, slowing climb = more time before you hit the ceiling.

What's the normal event rotation for WS? Is it in B for 2010, then in C for '11 and '12?

Wright Stuff is B div. only for 2010 then goes into hiatus for two years. It will be gone from both B and C divisions for two years after the 2010 season.

Good Luck

I'd love if that was the case right now, but it looks like it won't be that for a few years. If I am completely confused on this, I hope someone corrects me :roll:
