[RCSE] NorCalF3F Racing Davenport Results
I got there around 11:30 AM. Wind was just like I predicted it would be, wnw 15-20 mph. We got in a total of 9 rounds plus a Zero round. We decided since we were short handed , we would do 2 rounds at a time. Flying 2 up when short handed is the way to go. I think it's allot less hectic. The key to flying well was proper ballast selection and lucky winds swinging to the west. I have never flown D-port where it was this cyclic. If the wind turned up a tad north the upwind leg was 6-8 seconds, and 3 seconds back. Base "B" had a sweet spot but with wind direction changing though out it was hard to hit it consistently. If you didn't carve B just right but opened up the turn the wind would lay on the top of your wing and push you back and kill your energy. Fast Time went to Dave Reese with a 47.44. Real clean and tight. Nice going. Darrell Zaballos was the winner, good flying Darrell you deserved this one with your smooth flying. Dave Reese second and Tim Bigley third . Results: Darrell Zaballos 7897.4 Dave Reese 7656.1 Tim Bigley7265.7 Rich Speroni 7204.0 Harry Sandoval 6708.7 Joe Foster 4087.8 Now all I have to do is re-glue my ballast tube back in. It's too bad my NYX had a slight accident. The conditions were perfect for her. I'm sure glad the NYX is designed for slope racing if that incident occurred with my Y2K it would have been toast.

Does anyone out in soaring land know if Jack Caldwell, the designer of the Freedom and other designs, is still around. If he is, I'd like to talk to him about some of his older designs. I'd like to get a phone number if anyone has it. Ed

The lot originated from a pilot who had passed away. I want to gather information on the sailplanes before I start playing with them, but I do not recognize one of them. The Bird of Time is easy to recognize, and the book that came with the Mystery Ship makes ID easy. But the third sailplane is unknown to me. It has a 12'7" wingspan, RES, fiberglass fuse. Pictures available here: http://www.vinceherman.net/tempsailplane/IMG_3582.JPG http://www.vinceherman.net/tempsailplane/IMG_3588.JPG I can take more pictures or answer any questions on the model to help.

The Aquila Grand had a 10' span, so the XL was more than likely larger and fits the description. Kurt RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Vince, Looks like your unknown sailplane is a nicely finished Aquila XL. I'm envious...

Vince, Apeears to look a lot like an Airtronics Aquila. That was a standard 100" so maybe this is an Airtronics Aquila XL That's my best guess.

[RCSE] Re: Soaring V1 #6449
Gordy doesn' t need an alarm clock to travel with he has one of those talking timers. He should just remember to set it and he can wake up to the count down. Then he would never miss a plane again. Chad It got worse this morning No wake up call in Cincy, so ended up missing this flight by 3 minutes... Leaving now at 12:30, arriving Fresno at 4:30 today...save my spot :-) See you around 6pm tonite I guess. Gordy Still excited to see you all! So does anyone besides me think we should take up a collection, in order = to buy Gordy an alarm clock to travel with??? ;-) --Noel RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] "PS Visalia.....Supra!"
I had a chance to take a look at Kennedy Composites Supra, and I have to tell you, it is not short on graceful lines and very trick engineeringtoo bad Barry ran out of time getting the gear in it. the all molded tail parts are really amazing in their finish and formlikely our AMA soaring column writer will have some photos, certainly Barry will have some on his site soon.

[RCSE] "Contest Updates on LASS Guys"
Tony is flying the OVSS final event for the year at Muncie Indiana, AMA HQ site. He managed to take wood yesterday flying a Tom Finch Vandal in unlimited as a Sportsman, pretty good considering he started this season crashing Spirits! Ed Wilson (LSF5 and past LSF VP) and his son Ben Wilson (not really his son, actually our Website Master, and another wood master sportsman for Louisville, Ben took wood at the DLG National this year, he's been mentored by Bruce Davidsion and has taken wood in RES at the Mid American Championships, Lexington) ...anyway, they are heading toward the final OVSS day of soaring in Muncie to save two other guys from having to carry wood home :-) Me? My hopes and dreams of glory have been reduced to hopes and dreams of just making it thru the rounds today in VisaliaI'm in good company so big smiles all around! See you all tonite with more news!
