[RCSE] JoJo Hits Louisville tonite!
Get ready USA RC Soaring! Jo Grini arrives tonite in Louisville near midnite. The plan is to take him directly for a big rack of juicy ribs, then over to some local brew houses. No sleep the entire trip for him, we're gonna make this trip count. Then out to my horse for some cross country jumping. Then over to the field for some practice. More on the itinerary after his plane arrives :-) Gordy

[RCSE] LASS Speed 400 Electric Sailplane (F5J) Competition: Sunday, August 7th 2005!
Greetings gents -- The Louisville Area Soaring Society will be holding a Speed 400 class Electric Sailplane (F5J) competition on Sunday, August 7th 2005. 10AM registration, 11 AM start. We are asking for a $10 suggested donation. We will be flying out of a field we haven't used in a while: Sun Valley Park in the South End of Louisville. This might become the field for the 2006 MidSouth! Model limits are simple: Any sailplane with a Speed 400 can motor (non-replaceable brushes), geared or direct drive, up to 8 cells (NiMH or NiCD, no Lipo). We briefly considered charge limits, but that has been thrown out. Rounds will be 1-minute motor run, 10-minute thermal duration, in-or-out landing bonus. If we get enough pilots, we'll be doing a seeded man-on-man. The final round will be an All-Up Last-Down challenge! Trophies to the top 3 pilots, and our local hobby shop, Scale Reproductions, has donated an Electrify FlatOut 3D Plane for the winner of the final round which is an All-Up Last-Down challenge. Expect a casual environment - this F5J stuff is new to us! For more information, including directions, full contest rules, and the contest flyer: http://www.louisvillesoaring.org/ (click on the 2005 F5J Speed 400 Electric Sailplane Contest link on the left nav) Feel free to RSVP to me :) -- Ben Wilson Web Developer/Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] cell: 502.836.8551 home: 502.290.0624 RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

No worries Jo, I'm pretty confident we'll both make it to Louisville in time for some ribs and shine. I actually have a jar of it from my days traveling North Carolina and flying the Lump. Might even bring it along if someone needs some solvent for their throats or wing tape removal. Gordy Min airport this afternoon :-(
Re: [RCSE] LASS Speed 400 Electric Sailplane (F5J) Competition: Sunday, Augus...
How about changing the motor run to 2minutes? That will allow ANY plane to get to thermal height regardless of the cost of the motor/power plant. That negates any launch advantage some might have and turns the event into a soaring contest. I'm serious about this suggestion as it allows any model the opportunity to start out on an even opportunity...no one can fly higher than they can see...and almost any electric can get to that height in 2mins. My intention is to use a new foamie 2m sp400 from MPX (if they ever show up)...the only carbon in the plane will be the motor brushes:-) There's plenty of time to change the ruleand increase the fun. GordyMinn airport
Re: [RCSE] LASS Speed 400 Electric Sailplane (F5J) Competition: Sunday, Augus...
We based our rules draft on our research of existing F5J contests (mainly Albuquerque and a few others), combined with the understanding that we are going to have a wide range of models show up considering the newness of this contest. Personally, I wanted to see a pilot's choice motor run (like Alb.) that would eat away at the flight time. We'd set a 10 minute window, and longest unpowered flight time wins but we came to concensus that we'd try the LMR thing first. Since we haven't had a contest like this here before, it's still very much a crapshoot as to what will work best! The rounds are still ultimately up to the CD, so make your 2 minute runtime known to the CD at the contest. The tasks may change from round-to-round. BTW -- I just received word from Jack Iafret that they are going F5J nuts up there in Michigan and that they only do 30-second runtimes which gets most folks up to winch-launch height. To quote: Our S400 ships will do normal winch launched heights in 30 seconds and one minute will put us to stabs-going-away sight range which is why we went the way we did. Think of our contest as F3J with motors. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How about changing the motor run to 2minutes? There's plenty of time to change the ruleand increase the fun.

Re: [RCSE] LASS Speed 400 Electric Sailplane (F5J) Competition: Sunday, Augus...
I have been reading this a bit, and after watching the electric Nats for a bit last year, the F5J rules like they fly at ALB is the real deal, the run times to me in AMA events make them a joke, speed 400's were maybe over 1K and the best part was that pilots would ask where the lift was after the motor run. Additionally, Lipolys would evenhelp toobecause then the ships are lighter and can be "a soaring ship" not a near brick. Then you have a soaring contest and then i show up and play.

Jonsays:Also encourages stronger motors, ESC, battery systems to get the plane up faster in less time than thy neighbor. Let's understand this correctly: All the F5Jformats encourage contestants to obtain the maximum possible power system. Regardless of format, there is always an advantagegained with"faster and higher". That said,Lenny is correct. The UMR (unlimited motor run) format shifts thetasks away from higher launch heights and towards thermal skills. Those who can read air better and get that power system shut off sooner now seean advantage, andare gladto take it. Does that make UMR make a better contest? Yes!Better tobring the contest closer in to the pilots, as opposed to the eyesight contest that LMR encourages.And better toemphasize air reading / thermalling skills. UMR ismore challenging in the skills we cherish; thatis why UMR is more fun. Aradhana Singh Khalsa New Mexico

[RCSE] Challenging Thermalling skills is more fun? Don't think so.. :-)
And better toemphasize air reading / thermalling skills. UMR ismore challenging in the skills we cherish; thatis why UMR is more fun. Yup figured this would get distorted. The post originally was about our local contest, where 50% of the contestants...aren't contestants. But they are guys who I like to fly with a lot and would like to see them do well.We don't need no challenges to have fun, we have fun flying. We have LSF tasks to challenge thermalling skills. Like many, you got soaring confused with thermalling. I don't :-) A 2min motor run gets everyone up to as high as they want and allows them to work the task same as a guy with a sweet tuned F5J ship. He can have the same start as us, time wize and height wize. You guys who compete seriously on the F5J circuit (all two or three events:-) can have what every rules you want, and so can everyone else. Feel free to ask our Louisville group who intends to compete in our first ever F5J event, will ever travel to a 'real' F5J competition. Likely we are talking zero (pending on how much fun they have at this one). Whether on a winch or hand tow or electric, the object is to get to soaring altitude, which likely should be determined by an altitude controlled motor shut off...but for now, we get to do whatever :-) Thanks for the input, it was exactly what I was hoping for! Gordy Louisville, 40mins away from JoJo landing!
Re: [RCSE] LASS Speed 400 Electric Sailplane (F5J) Competition: Sunday, Augus...
That's true. But, if you think that timed motor runs don't do the same you're mistaken. We always want to launch as fast and high as possible. Been there, done that.

[RCSE] Another Stupid Rule: Nats HLG Rules Update
In my 30 + years of flying, we have another stupid rule to benefit the people who do not have a HLG as their backup that is as good as their primary.To not be able to switch planes??? Who check everyobody at all the contests! It is even more ridiculous when people do no realize that the pilot has to take extra time to get a new plane according to other rules for replacement and loose time overall. Nobody can keep things simple or open to encourage design. Now people have to try to get around how bad they fly, compared to other flyers, by using rules to make up for inadequacies. Reminds me of the F3B days when gorilla winches were disallowed because they were to dangerous. Nowadays we see the same winces, only more powerful, being used. DUHHH! This also brings up the missing rule for the pilot or timer that gets hit during a launch. The offender gets punished, but why must the offenDed? They are rolling on the ground in pain, their plane perhaps crashing because they cannot fly it, yet they can't refly a round because they can't be mixed back into the frequency roataion. Another missing issue. Next time when your losing, why not take out an opponent? It's nice to know the TPG have their act together regarding HLG and to know the AMA still remains in the Dark Ages of progress. Flame on.
