The Harlingen SMASH RC Club is initiating a bi-monthly series of fun RC events for all modelers in the south Texas region. The SMASH RC is sponsoring an exciting series of pylon racing & RC combat events that employ the SPAD sport RC plane design.......click on the website.... ;D

The first event of the series will be SPAD 40 Pylon racing, it will be held Saturday Feb. 12 at the SMASH club field, located in Rio Hondo at the city park. Rules for the event are very simple--Participants must use a 40 size SPAD ( simple plastic airplane design) very similar to those of SMASH member Tex Long who has designed and is selling for a very economical price...a three size series, ARF SPAD !! Engine to be used in each plane will be the popular Super Tigre 40 which will remain box stock and unmodified, Windsor Airscrew 10 X 6 N props will be used. The SMASH will provide fuel for the fun event...Registration is at 9 am...Scores are awarded to those that finish their race heat..A flying start is used to begin each 10 lap race... If any want to come observe and/or enjoy a day of exhillarating excitement and fun...they can join the other RC addicts, kibitzers and scaredy kats on the sidelines ( peanut gallery ?? )
SPAD RC KOMBAT.....
SPAD RC combat uses the same ST 40 SPAD as used for SPAD pylon racing. The combat event is held on an alternating Saturday...Many Tejas RC flyers are very familiar and well versed in RC combat as they are the originators of the event in deep south Texas...Check Six !!
