  1. OK, MAN,
    I watched the RC Show sweep 109, and didn’t find the special code. What’s up?
    As I’m into electric pylon racing, the Hangar 9 Sundowner 36 looks like a good pylon racer.

    1. The code is ESEG, but it’s still for the ElectriFly Syncro glider. The code for the Sundowner will be on an upcoming show!

  2. Hi MAN,

    Why is the RC Show Sweeps limited to the recidence of the 50 United States readers? I know that MAN must be read worldwide.
