[RCSE] Kit Plane Article
Did anyone else see the October issue of Kitplanes? There were several very interesting articles that apply to modelers. Page 4 announced that Jim Newman would author a 'how to' column like he does in Model Airplane News. Page 6 has an article on the record setting AR-5. The amazing thing about this plane is was the care the builder took with the airplane. The article stated he backlit the wing to find ripples. When he finished filling and sanding, the largest peak to peak distance was 0.0036! I don't know of anyone in the modeling world that goes through that much effort to get a wing flat. Page 14 shows a neat looking ultralight designed by Jim Millett, who started at COX in the mid 60's. In the flight performance portion of the article, the author used the infamous "dive test" to define stability! It appears that the dive test goes beyond our modeling spectrum. gv RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [RCSE] Southwest Classic/vaction/little off soaring stuff
Walter, Try to get to the SW classic in time for the hlg contest Friday. I will have my UpLinks for the unlimited hlg event and will be discus launching a SunBird for the Old Buzzards portion if I can get it to hang together during the launch. May have to add a bit of carbon here and there but the general design looks to be OK for discus style launch with a bit of launch presets for rudder and elevator. -- Dick Barker Seattle, WA - The Old Fart Glider Flyer - Am going to combine SW classic with a vacation RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] SCSA contest
The results are in from the November SCSA contest. We had a nice turnout of 25 pilots. The threatening weather that was up north never quite developed in Valencia, and we were treated to buoyant conditions (although a few pilots will dispute that statement). We decided to fly Open Class and Sportsman, as we didn't have enough RES ships to constitute a class. There were 12 pilots who had scores over 3900 out of 4000. Joe W. put on a clinic in the open class, with a remarkable perfect score of 4000. As for the rest of us... Open Class: Joe Wurts 4000 John Snider 3974 Lowell Norenburg 3966 Sportsman Alex Emeniov 3912 Thanks to the guys from TOSS, PSS and SSVSS for making the drive, and thanks to all the members from our club for helping out. See you next month! JE '00 SCSA President -- Erickson Designs John R. Erickson, AIA Architecture, CAD, Consultation W/F (661) 288-2959 RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
