A group of folks are starting a Plyon Race Series, based on the Multiplex Dogfighter. Plan is to use the GMA site north of Atlanta, as a base of operations for the first events. Hope to expand to other sites and events such as SEFF if successful.
This will be a spec format, using the Dogfighter airframe. Rules are as follows:
Testing has shown the combination is kind to the equipment, fast enough and the plane handles much smoother than any of the other props tested. Plus the diameter is smaller so landings are better and kinder on prop strikes. The stock CG works fine if not a touch farther forward. Run times are expected to be over 5min at full throtle without excessive heat or battery issues on 2200 40C 3s packs. A launch system is under development, more on that later.
So who's up to it!

So here's mine! I had to ream out the prop to 8mm and also enlarge the spinner hole with a 3/8" drill for the prop adapter. A bench test on 3s came out at 450Watts on a fresh battery, should easierly get over 100mph! Ian Edited by ids - 29 Oct 2011 at 5:18pm |

I love it!
I remember racing the Zagi at our home field around a pylon course and this will get e off my A!@ to get a Dogfighter built. Remember RCRN is giving away 3 of these babys this month in the monthly giveaway!

I know that as an AMA member, I am allowed to visit only a few times a year to GMA without being a member; would that still apply if I wanted to come race with you all next season?

Yes, I am sure that would be fine, send me an email and we will try to set up some dates.
David & I had a test/practice race the other week. lts of fun, just need to figure out why he was faster!

I think one of my Stone Mtn buddies, Chris Mercer (bigmoebbq), also has a dogfighter he may be interested in racing; I ll drop you a line in a bit.
