[RCSE] Mammoth information
Hello everyone, I would like to post some info on the upcoming Mammoth F3F race. As far as campgrounds are concerned.There are many campgrounds around the Mammoth area. Coldwater near Lake Mary is my favorite and that is probably where I will be staying.By friday night most of them seem to fill up near the lakes so If you can get there early Fri. that would be best. Sherwin creek camp is a good backup. You usually can always find a spot there and it is still very close to town.If you like aspens and a slightly lower altitude this is a good choice.I would recomend that you not go to the campgrounds down in the Devils Postpile area such as Agnew meadows or Reds meadow. Even though it looks close on the map the road down is a single lane road with a few turnouts and can be congested. They run shuttle buses down and close the road to regular traffic from 7:00am to 8:00pm I believe. For those of you that want to stay in a hotel here is some info: I have stayed at the Alpenhoff before they are quite reasonable and it is a nice place to stay. They are also the closest hotel to the slope besides the main ski area. Rates are $80 a night for 2 double beds.Their phone # is 1-800-828-0371 Here are some others: Econolodge-$89 760-934-6855 Roadway inn-$99 1800-824-5132 Shilo Inn- $109 1-800-222-2244 These are mini-suites with refrigerators microwaves and such.Ask for the managers special to get this rate.They are normally $139. I will be driving up Thursday night and plan on scouting the slope on friday for the best area to set up the course and hopefully get in some DSng. I would love some company if anyone would like to join me. I would recomend that you come up a day early if possible. Particularly if you might have problems with altitude. This will give you a chance to get aclimated some, the slope is at 10,200 ft! Here are some directions to the slope with waypoints: Take the 203 exit to Mammoth off of Hwy 395. Go through town and make a right to the ski area on Minaret rd. N37.64873 W118.98310 Follow this road to the ski area and continue about a mile past to Minaret summit and make a right just before the ranger hut towards Minaret vista N37.65411 W119.05749 Immediately you will see a dirt road going straight.Follow this dirt road (do not continue left on the paved road towards Minaret vista) Follow this dirt road for about 3 1/2 miles along the ridge till you get to the flying area.The dirt road is pretty mellow except for maybe a couple spots that may require 4wd. I can shuttle some people in my landcruiser from Minaret summit if anyone needs a ride.Here are some waypoints of the slope and where I have flown before. N37.66883 W119.06038 -- a possible place for the race coarse N37.67981 W119.06376 -- The main area I have flown and the best landing zone N37.68494 W119.06555 -- The end of the dirt rd. where you park to walk to Deadmans Pass N37.68941 W119.07145 -- Deadmans Pass DS area and possible site for the best F3F I plan on meeting at Minaret summit at 12:00 Saturday and then driving to the slope from there that way we can all hook up if anyone needs a ride to the slope. If anyone would like a topo map of the area with directions and sites marked I can e-mail you the attachment if you like. Just ping me back. Hope to see you all there,Gary Legerton

I have just one suggestion. Move the safety net 6 ft back away from the landing circle to allow for those birds that will try to get over it occasionally. That extra 6 ft. buffer will help protect pilots, timers and an occasional official from getting hit when a bird does get over the safety fence. Also confirm for me, does over the fence and out of bounds mean loss of your flight score as well as 0 points for the landing as I suspect it does? Regards, Dave Corven.

RE: [RCSE] Countdown TO EVO USA
They took the servo fixing in house after their techs went to Germany to be schooled in the elfin ways of the Black Forest. Ernie is only doing his radio servicing no servos.

[RCSE] Nats page updated with Start time
Cal, my interpretation is that any part of the sailplane past the line defined by the safety fence results in a zero flight score, as it is defined as out of bounds. Jack ?? Cal, your trophy source ?

[RCSE] Mammoth slope flying
Also be sure to stop by my family's bakery in Mammoth or Bishop! Get some Sheepherder's bread and Cheesebread. The Owens Valley is a Mecca for soaring, full size, para-sailers and hang gliders. The hang gliding WC's have been held there many times. Hang gliding with O2 and jackets in the middle of summer covering courses in the hundreds of miles. Damn good model flying also!

Thats what I was trying to say.thank you. Last year there was 6 of us, 'blind mice". They did spray a little white paint over the red paint, after we brought it up.

Re: [RCSE] NATS Landing
I'd say bring some white spray paint and offer to help change them... 8-) I doubt there are going to be many more 100's this year no matter what color they are, the scoring zones are tight, and they have the composite disk over the 100 point zone just like last year. Hit it and your going to bounce to low or no point land this year. But they are the same for everyone and I am not complaining about it. Probably the most appropriate place to discuss this stuff at this point only days away from the big contest is in the pilots meeting before the contest starts, with the CD and pilots at hand in a face to face manner.
