A current topic in the race community that is getting lot of conversation is “turtle mode”. This is a flight controller’s ability to self-right an upside down craft. Because of this, the question is, “Is it MultiGP legal?”. Jefte will give you the answer.The road to the National Championship is a long and challenging journey, filled with excitement and fierce competition. Reese will talk with one pilot about his experiences in the Region 3A Finals last month in Iowa. Find out how that pilot dealt with the pressure. Also, it is often the people behind the scenes that make events memorable. The RIOT MultiGP International Open was an excellent example. Joe will talk about the team of volunteers who were responsible for helping make history the the IO in Scully’s 60.
