Sorry for the rant... when did I turn into my grumpy grandfather??? Exactly at the same time some idiot decided to put his foamy in your airspace. I'd be pissed too.

Congrats Jim, I wish I could have been there to defend the title.

Sorry to miss it this year. At 08:23 PM 10/9/2005, you wrote: After two days of very challenging air, Jim Frickey wins the TNT for the third time! During these days no pilot remained unscathed, and some more than once were bit.

[RCSE] The Foamie that threatens Phoenix
OK, gentlemen, let's let cooler heads prevail in this forum. Here are some of things we do NOT know for sure: - That there's a knowledgeable slope pilot playing footsie with aircraft in the pattern at the airport. - That this wasn't a one time incident. - That said pilot probably doesn't read this or other lists. (Being statistically inclined, I must point out that the probability of not reading this list, given the total number of R/C pilots now flying, could be pretty high.) Therefore, until the whole story is completely known, how about ceasing and desisting with threats about what must be done to said individual. Remember, the guilty individual could be an innocent rank beginner totally ignorant of the threat produced to full-scale aircraft and blissfully obtaining as much joy from his simple foam aircraft as knowledgeable members of this forum obtain from the latest and greatest moldies.

Re: [RCSE] Receiver Advice for Stratos
Since (I think) the Airtronics stuff allows one to choose the shift, try a JR 700.

Re: [RCSE] Receiver Advice for Stratos
I also fly the Visions/Styluii, and have removed the cases when needed. I did some elaborate testing looking at sensitivity some years back to ensure the case was not a part of the equation (some may be surprised to learn that indeed black cases can have a bearing, as they contain carbon black), and in one case found a slight improvement (not to say everyone should run out and remove the case though). You should be fine, but as always rigorous range testing while still on on the ground should expose any issues...

Re: [RCSE] Subject: RC and airports
And who the bleep are YOU, mystery model flyer, to expose other people to risk against their will and knowledge? (MSul1048321) While I can't condone anyone flying near full sized planes I think you're overreacting. There are such things are birds up there, lots of them, and they're going to do a lot more damage to a plane than a foam wing (which, due to its design, is not going to do much damange to anything that it hits). A bird will damage a plane but you don't see many reports on the NTSB database of accidents resulting from a bird strike. I don't think theres a single report of an accident or incident caused by a model (ecept for some moron versus a blimp a few years ago, but that was deliberate). I've never been in a position to put this to the test -- and I really don't want to ever get into this position -- but I think that if a model got close to an airplane then the wash -- the air displaced by the plane -- would push it to one side so the collision would be at worst glancing. It a propellor hit it then there would be no model -- propellors are quite tough things -- and I suspect that a small model going into a large jet engine would disappear without trace (they test for this sort of thing -- you can't have a plane exploding and falling out of the sky because an engine ingested some debris). So like the rabbit crossing the road, the biggest danger the GA pilot would have would be trying to swerve around the model and losing it.but then you're really not supposed to try doing that in a plane. While we're in rant mode I should remark that some GA pilots tend to bend the rules -- they fly too close to the ground in built-up areas, nice view but they're getting in the way of our models (not to mention that their planes are noisy, dirty, polluting things -- old school unsilenced engines with no emissions control and leaded fuel --gross, like ancient lawnmowers they creak across the sky making a darned nuisance of themselves). Yes, I know they cost you a lot of money to buy and fly and they do appear to be inherently dangerous but if you can't get into an out of airfields without bothering the neighbors then maybe its time to drive (after all, most accidents seem to be caused by pilots trying to fly slightly beyond their skill levels -- in this case it seems that the skill level needed for this approach was right on the edge for this pilot if he's going to get fazed by a chunk of packing foam. You can't be too careful with aircraft -- sometimes its more fun to sit on the ground and fly the thing by proxy. (Cheaper, too) Martin Usher RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Oops! Sorry I guess I underestimated you guys, likely you already posted a next day envelope with some cash inside...Sorry I guess I'll have to give up bouncing foamies off full size aircraft...maybe I'll try doing it from the outside of the planes from now onI suppose that will upset you too ;-) Steve Lange is a huge supporter of Michael Richter (creator of the Weasel, miniWeasel, and Alula) and slope soaring in general, as well as being a contributor to RC Soaring Digest, rcgroups.com, and the flyweasel Yahoo group.His eight month old son, José Luis, suffered a stroke on September 23rd. José Luis is recovering rapidly, but the medical and therapy expenses which are not covered by insurance will likely be several thousand dollars.
