LeRoy,
You use what you've got. I was in there last night testing a VP prop and there was enough turbulence that I just couldn't get the model to climb above 15'. Really irritating, but at least my indoor planes ALWAYS fly their best at contests--because they fight turbulence anytime I test fly, it's in rotten conditions.
John,
Don't get your hopes up just yet. I've got a long way to go before I'm going to start sinking the cash needed to travel to team selection contests. That, and I want a better propeller design...
Don,
Thanks. I've got a lot of improvement to do, though.
