[RCSE] RE: [balsasailplanes] MI WC 2005 - Woody day event with perfect conditions

[John]

 

 

Thanks Richard for a great two days of flying! I got more stick
time in this weekend than I have in all of 2005 (and I fly most days the
weather cooperates). The weather was made to order and the sod farm was ideal
to fly from. The retrievers on the winches and the golf cart for the Hi-Starts
kept things running fast and efficient. Your awards were a work of art. Someone
should put a picture of them on the web. You though of everything with
humongous subs that were outstanding for lunch, to the dinner you organized Saturday
night. Everywhere you looked was smiles. The spouses had a ball also, and Linda
just kept saying, “I had such a good time” all the way home while we laughed
about the weekends happenings. Only one thing to change for next year. You need
to put a minimum bit on the auction items so you cover some of your cost. An
electric Gnome kit for $1 or a 60’ gnome kit for $26 is just not fair to you
and has to add to you expense.

 

Thanks again for a great time! Linda asks that you not forget to
invite your sister next year. Her travel stories were wonderful. She sure lived
in some interesting places that are now changed forever.

 

John

Very
moderate breezes, only a chance of thunderstorms, more flying then you’ve ever
done at this event.  Two one day, 4 event gatherings, ($15/day).  Come
out and enjoy.  Four all wood kits on the silent auction. Come one, come
all.

I can attest that Bernie was not testing the treeline.
He followed lift and did an outstanding job getting
that Sharon back. He has stones like no other flyer I
have seen. The man was incredable!

Hey D,

Last 3 out of 4 times I've been to the Spring Fling were windy as hell. 
The usual ritual for the windy sink conditions was to launch and head 
straight for the row of trees to the west and do some wave surfing.
Also, The last Spring Fling I went to Bobby McGowan thermaled his image 
about 5 feet off the ground for the last 4 minutes of his sink cycle 
flight. The guy is just amazing to watch. I knew Bobby would flying with 
a vengeance after his last round mishap at the Fresno Classic(that's the 
one nobody wanted to let DP know about.:-))


See you guys at F3J TS or Visalia.

Re: Re: [RCSE] Throw Outs, What If...

[Marc Gellart]

Brian stated:

"What if a flyer just used one of his flights
to test an idea about a building or tree line advantage?"

To me a contest is just that, not a personal soaring experiment to try 
something and then if does not work you get out of the failure.  If you want to 
experiment, go early and try the experiments and then be prepared for the 
contest.  The long haul steady pilot is the guy that knows his ship and what 
different conditions yield.  I think of TK, Rich B., McCarthy, Don Harris, 
Daryl, Joe, Skip and others when I think of this kind of prepared pilot.  They 
have put their flight time in and know what to expect in all conditions, that 
is why they win and others moan about the what-ifs.

Just my feeling on the matter and I know that the Atlanta guys had this on the 
board from the get-go, so all knew the rule.  Just wanting to know what folks 
are thinking.

...you dropped the fliers high score in a contest and not the low score?  I 
looked over MS 2005 scores, Kendall came up short, John loved the result, and 
both knew the tasks were dangerous when assigned.

I know you can talk drops either way, none of the OVSS contests have them, but 
that is the clubs call not mine.  What is the thought of others?

Re: [RCSE] Throw Outs, What If...

The person with the "best" 5 flights won. Right. ? That is how it was
announced, pretty simple if you ask me.  Some flyers may want to throw out
their best score, but not me.  What if a flyer just used one of his flights
to test an idea about a building or tree line advantage.?   (smile) Brian

[RCSE] Spring Fling

[Daryl Perkins]

The Spring Fling, and the second leg of the Triad is
now over. I'd like to say that a good time was had by
all... but the conditions were BRUTAL on Sat. The wind
was howling, which typically isn't a problem at Sac,
as there is normally plenty of lift even in the
wind but this day... air was spotty and tough.
Numerous big name pilots landing WAY downwind. I
dropped some time due to stupidity.

Bob McGowan, and his damn little 2M, bested everyone

[RCSE] MidSouth report

[Jon Stone]

Well the MidSouth in Hot-lanta is done.  Wow, what a weekend.
 
I can give a very limited account of the Unlimited class standings, from 
memory.   I won 1st on Saturday. Bernie Coleman 2nd.   On 
Sunday, Gordy Stahl earned 2nd. I sorry, I can't remember any more for sure. Don 
Cleveland earned the high overall trophy for the top pilot of the 3 days of 
flying.  Don is an excellent pilot, and the award was well 
earned.Weather on Saturday was no "gimme". Winds 8-15. A large no-fly 
zone on one downwind side of the field, all weekend. Lift was often challenging 
to find and work. Sunday was on & off light drizzle all morning, 
with a very low cloud base. Several flight groups launched into the clouds. I 
know once, my plane flew through a small bit of cloud, while still on the launch 
line.  Yikes!  Several folks, including me, dove out of clouds, which 
cost us dearly. There was very little lift, and any dive cost you minutes of 
precious flight time.The landing task was a 25 ft runway landing. Wind 
was never lined up with the runway. Usually 30-45 degrees off.All in 
all, a challenging weekend, extremely talented pilots, and no room for mistakes. 
On a personal note, I was about 23 points off of perfect for Saturday. 
1st-4th place where all within about 40 points of each other. No "gimme" rounds 
for me this year.   
 
One round, I scratched at a treeline for 7 minutes to earn my 10 minute 
time. Bernie Coleman flew right next to me scratching the whole time. I was 
really tired of surfing and having to pay that close attention to every bobble. 
But Bernie just would not quit, so I kept going. That flight was really tough. 
Neither of us wanted to be buried by the other, as we were in the same MoM 
flight group... so we both trudged on to earn our times. Many times, I would 
turn in lift and leave the treeline, only to quickly abandon it and jump back to 
the treeline. Most of the bumps of lift were just gusts and not thermals. I 
could not believe how low Bernie was willing to turn, just over the treetops. On 
my final flight, I nearly earned a 4 minute flight, if not for a few well timed 
gifts of lift from God.The top trophies were hand crafted by an 
extremely talented craftsman and pilot, Randy Chronic. Truly a labor of love and 
a nice gift to those who earned top spots.The guys in Atlanta put on one 
of the best contest experiences I know of. Topped off by a "low country boil" 
Saturday evening. There were so many types of Cajun seafood, chicken, and pork, 
I could not keep count. No one left hungry, as there was plenty of food for all. 
They boiled the seafood at the field. Lots of folks, families, wives, and 
clubmates showed up just for the socializing and food. Great time. These Atlanta 
guys have raised the bar.

[RCSE] Re: laser arts

[Eberwein]

Just an update ...

Well, I finally broke down and bought 'www.LaserArts.com'
(http://www.LaserArts.com) from a squatter!

The old web sites will be forwarding to the new site shortly (waiting
for DNS updates to propegate).

Let me know what you think about it. We're still adding thinks and more
images as time allows, but it's fully functional, and a lot better than
our old one.

[RCSE] Re: batteries

[Jo Grini]

On a 70A 510EN battery you will have 20-30 starts on a calibrated F3B winch 
deppending on the conditions, models used and setup of model.
Most important is to change battery when you feel the power goes down AND 
charge it the same day.
If you run a car battery empty or store it empty it will be ruined or become 
poor quickly.

"the days are getting shorter and winter is coming on ...

To this my wife says "thank goodness" particularly since yesterday we
exceeded the long term record for the day by two degrees.

But my batteries are getting tired with these longer opportunities that
are getting shorter.

Question.  How many stalled F3B launches can be made on your F3B
battery?  So what is your battery size and how many launches?  I may
need to take multiple batteries or buy a new one.

Thankyou.

PS In case you did not know it the launch and the battery are entirely
different for F3B compared to a normal club setup.

Maybe the donation should be %5.00 and all the wood you can carry?

The last bonfire melted glass in seconds and vaporized beer cans before
they hit the coals!

Sure to be a hoot, as the Cap'n might say.

Don't miss this ...
