    A new 1-24 motor is being promoted as the legal replacement for the JK Hawk-7 and Mid-America Eagle.
    It is the TOP SECRET – TSM003 – INTIMIDATOR – a sealed short can FK size motor.
    Of course the vendor cant reveal any specs (morons)  but it is a) obviously faster than 50k (eagle and hawk) and apparently good enough for GP-F (entry wing), where the 60k Phoenix is allowed but can be a hard to drive motor (takes a lot of trigger to get over the torque then the nose wheelies out of the slot!)

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
