 Handicapping for the Race 


 
 
 





 
 
Every airplane in the Air Race Classic receives its own handicap speed, that speed which is the fastest it can go at max power settings. To win, you have to beat your handicap by flying the best race possible, straightest line, find the tailwind, anything that will help you fly faster than the fastest you can go!
 
Earlier this week we flew our handicap flight, but the data logger did not transmit sufficient information for our handicap speed to be determined. So, we hope to fly again this weekend after Donna gets another data logger. Keep your fingers crossed for us, that this next one will be successful
