Desert wind and a bit of luck
Posted on: 28 Mar 2010
Waking up to a hot wind off the desert made for an incredible afternoon of drama on Race Day yesterday. A temperature in excess of 40C was bound to lead to a cocktail of problems; fuel vaporisation for hot starts after one’s first race, electrical problems, thin air giving less power, less propellor efficiency and less wing lift and, above all, a very different track as the wind was from the south instead of the north. A game of tactics and strategy.

Shark In Lamb's Clothing

Nigel Lamb’s MXS-R has 3ft ‘shark-fin’ winglets, giving the stunning aircraft a sinister, predatory look, but these winglets are not there to be aesthetically pleasing, they have a specific job to do. Designed to reduce ‘induced drag’, they should lower the amount of speed lost in the high G turns.

It’s been a long winter. Frustration and stress have played their part but now that everything is on the way to Abu Dhabi there is a growing sense of excitement to get out on the track and see if our endeavours will pay off.
