[Bill from NH]

Are you interested in running wing cars Sam? My own excuse is I don't have local tracks to run anything on & my days of windshield traveling ended in the 80's.

[Sam pan]

OMBOX would be the car I'm looking to run since I have plenty of Gp-12 C-cans. I think I can build a motor to last 8 3 minute heats. With spray glue and no motor changes, I think this is a great Wing class.

[Bill from NH]

Since you already have parts to build cars, your maintenance costs would be fairly cheap too, mostly tires & bodies. Is a steel chassis in your inventory of parts? I have a NOS Slick 7 kit bought years ago. Do you know whether brass/wire chassis are legal?

[Sam pan]

I have one or two that might work. I have to ask Doug what length chassis works on his King. Nobody is using brass 'n wire chassis. Been over 25 years since I ran one. I think it was a Box-15 race.

[Sam pan]

Well, I got my answer from Doug. Short chassis' in the 4.00" or even shorter are the hot ticket on his Gerding King. Nothing I have even comes close. Going to shorten up the pillow blocks on my shortest car and see what happens.

Does anyone have any advice for helping a OMB Gp-12 last an entire race. Most of what I have is .513" arms with 38 to 42 deg. timing. I have Koford and Red Fox set ups. Stuff like air gap, EB treatment, gearing. Last 12 race I ran was a Yankee race in glue and the motor lasted. Car didn't do so well.

[hesketh]

Koford Or Redfox setup ( go with the lightest setups you have), .513 diameter, 42 degrees, 530 airgap, 10/44 gearing should be fine. Shortest chassis you have, shorten the pillow blocks as much as you can, cut off the pans in the front. Red fox foxtail, cut 135/31-32, 4x4 wing kit, with the wings cut down. You might need to get a body from Timmy unless you can build wing bodies. Running in spray glue on a Gerding is actually pretty easy on motors. Poofed arms are pretty uncommon these days.

[Sam pan]

Thanks. I got a place to start from now.

Doug just texted that the voltage will be 14.3 for OMB.

The December 14 series wing race is canceled. We are sorry for the inconvenience but we have the next race January 18 2020!
