Radio Control Pylon Racing - 2010/06
I am excIted about the opportunity to
write for MA. Scott Causey’s new job
provides him with no time to support this
column. As his Pylon teammate, it seemed
natural for me to jump in and take it on.
I’ll start with a quick overview of my RC
Pylon Racing background. I’m 33 years old. I
am married to a very tolerant and beautiful
wife named Michele. My daughter is 4 years
old and my son will turn 2 this June. My
family is tremendous, and we’ve made some
great Pylon memories in the last few years

I HAVE RACED the Great Planes Viper 500
ARF in local Sport Quickie (AMA event 424)
contests for approximately three seasons.

IN THIS column I
am going to
recognize local
races. I strongly
believe local Pylon
races are the
lifeblood of this
sport

The 2011 RC Pylon Nats was a nail-biter

In Part Two of this series, I will walk
you through the process of applying
clearcoat, which is more challenging than basecoat. This
nal coat will make or break your nal nish. (No pressure.)
Before I delve into the process of applying clearcoat, I will
describe a visualization concept that may help. As I mentioned
in Part One [in the April 2012 issue of MA], nothing can
replace experience and making a few mistakes of your own.
You will likely nd many interesting and personalized ways to
mess it up. Don’t worry; most can be xed with a little elbow
grease, so don’t let this deter you.
