This data logger display exactly where Race 26 handed
the race to Race 71. Flying my Catto wood and composite race prop, when we hit the rain inbetween turn 4 and turn
5 I had to weigh the options: 1) Charge full throttle through it and risk damaging (or destroying) an expensive propeller,
or 2) Throttle back and bore through it to minimize the damage, or 3) Throttle back and avoid the worst of the rain, thereby
saving the prop to race another day. My decision is obvious (the was no rain damage to the prop). Oh well...
Here is a classic Taylor Start profile. Launch,
hit the ski lake, left turn while trading altitude for smash, to the Start line and off you go on course.
