This web site has been created to give a basic view of pylon racing and hopefully encourage you to have a go, so where next. On this page you will find other web sites and contacts that will help you obtain everything needed, plus people with a more in depth knowledge than myself. Don’t forget your only flying a model plane around a course! So don’t let science get in the way of having fun, keep it simple and reliable. You may even win.
If you contact any of these suppliers tell them how you got to them, THANKS
