More Dino on J vs P
From: Michael Achterberg
Very true.
Austin was a very excellent flyer. If the powers to be want juniors to participate just like they did at the intro to P, have it open to both J and P at next Champs. No one will fly P.
Now, as to performance issue with J. Lets fix that.  A 7 sec. motor run with no weight limit meant u could literally fly with good pattern and bunt and glide 10 sec and DT and make a max. 2min.. Wow..
I propose a 5 sec motor run with a minimum weight of 225 gr. Roughly 8 oz.. Austin models weighed 6oz.. This will still be fast and the juniors will love it…. Simple to fly.
Now, someone going to scream cost. Not a problem. There are at least 200 of my models laying on a shelve somewhere around the world. And 100’s more from the Ukraine available with a simple ad on Sen. An they will be cheap..
So let the kids have some fun again..
Thermals, Michael
Ps. And No I don’t have any for sale.. Actually never flew the event.. So Im not trying to sell models. This is not why Im proposing this…F1p is a stupid event. Hard to fly and No fun…
Thank you..
