Some photos of the winners and a snapshot of the final scores after 8 rounds of tough air: http://louisvillesoaring.org/gallery/20060721nats Not a bad day for Team Polecat ;) 1. Mike Smith 2. Bruce Davidson 3. Shane Spickler 4. Doug Pike 5. Doug Harnisch The weather produced some really tough air, which combined with Ed Franz' difficult tasks (two 3's and a 4, two 4's and a 2, 3x3) made for some serious shake-ups in the scores all day long. An excellent contest, despite my sad placing :) BTW - If you want to use the Wireless Internet access that now covers the *entire* AMA site, ask them at NATS HQ (the little house). They'll give you the password after you sign a three-page form!

[RCSE] FS: Like New Vintage ARF Falcon 880
For Sale: Like New Vintage ARF Falcon 880 This vintage Falcon 880 has been in storage for the past 15 years and I have finally decided to sell it due to my lack of involvement with the hobby. Remember Daryl Perkins yellow and blue Falcon 880 which he has won countless contests with? This is Falcon is a carbon copy but painted white (top) and blue (bottom) instead. This Falcon is NICE! Countless hours have been put into wing construction and and overall finish of this model. Wings have a S3021 airfoil. Construction is 1/16 inch balsa over 1.5 lb density expanded bead white foam with carbon fiber/glass reinforced spar stucture. Trailing edges are reinforced with glass cloth between the balsa for stiffness durability. Over the entire wing structure 3/4 oz. glass was applied to the balsa to seal the structure prior to lacquer painting. Hinges are Arrow-shaft type with each flap having about 60 degrees travel from nuetral. Wings already have servo cutouts and wiring installed. After all these years in storage, the wings are still very straight and glass smooth. Included is an oil-hardened wing rod. Fuselage is finished with white laquer paint, has tow hook installed and two Airtronics 94102 servos installed. Fuselage is epoxy glass with kevlar reinforcement. Canopy is a dark blue pigmented epoxy glass type. Tail surfaces are monokoted built-up balsa structures. Care was taken to keep the tail as light as possible. Fuselage linkages are installed and operational. When this Falcon was completed it was flown for a total of about 1 hour then stored in a bedroom for 15 years. Total flying weight is in the low 70 oz. My preference is to hand deliver this model to the buyer or a friend of the buyer in the Santa Clara County California area since I don't want to see this item crushed by the shipping company. I'm willing to deliver for free in Santa Clara County. If a local delivery is not possible, I'd consider shipping this item in a professionally packed (oversize) box at the expense of the buyer. Price: $500.00 firm Email namg_engr at yahoo dot com for photos and any questions. Thanks. -Tom __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[RCSE] Re: 2006 NATS Handlaunch Photos/Scores
George, Thanks - it was a great meet at a really good soaring site - AMA has improved the grounds significantly since I was last here a few years back. The guys who placed earned every point. The level of competition in DLG continues to climb every year and the level of information sharing by the top competitors continues to parallel that ascent. A meet like this is an excellent opportunity to learn from these guys both by watching them 'at work' and by asking them to time and offer advice on the spot. For a 61 year old, I ain't ashamed of missing wood by a bit. I would really encourage those in the mid and south west to travel to events like this (and IHLGF, Polecat, etc.). We have a ways to go in those regions to be able to compete with the east and west coast effectively. The only way to understand the level of skills out here is to come out and get your butt kicked a few times. It's humbling but educational. It's a unique opportunity to meet guys that share this interest as well as a great way to catch up with old friends. A special thanks to DLG CD Ed Franz and asst-CD Denny Maize for a very well organized and enjoyable event. See y'all at TNT. - Dave R Date: Sat, 22 Jul 2006 09:59:12 -0500 From: George Voss [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: soaring@airage.com Subject: RE: [RCSE] 2006 NATS Handlaunch Photos/Scores Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] And just one out of the list below...

[RCSE] The 'Real' DLG NATS Champion
Congrats to Mike Smith, he's definitely got the Muncie field's number! But the real hero of the DLG Nats was someone elseits the guy that ended up second but stepped up to do everything he could to help Mike during his flights(as timer) get the best possible opportunities to do well(when they weren't flying the same rounds against each other that is) . My hat's off to Bruce Davidson, a world class DLG guy and a world class kind of friend...to everyone in the hobby. Had Mike done as good a job for Bruce when he was timing, likely they would have tied for first :-) The Louisville Soaring Society fielded 3 pilots this year for the NATS DLG event...not bad for a small club and a testament to Bruce for mentoring in our club. Hope to see you guys there this week for RES, and Unlimited. Gordy
[RCSE] Did the JR 10 RX, Remote Program Button Mod, You?
Hi guys, Took a soldering gun and about 5mins to figure out and do the mod to make the JR 10 Synth RX accept a remote button for programming. Now I don't have to be stabbing the RX in the face at the field or fighting with it for access. It has 10 channels, right? A JR 9303 has 9, we only use 6 for the most part, 7 if you have a Picolario. I just melted the solder joint on AUX 5's signal pin and shook off the solder acting as a jumper to the Aux5 signal land on the board. Once it was clear, I figured out that the 'edge' side of the face button was the hot side, the other just ground, so I ran a small wire from that edge side connection to the AUX 5 Signal pin. Now I can plug in one of my Polk Set Buttons and it does the same as poking the inny button. No chopping and it would take about a minute to put it all back just the way it was. Totally exhausted from the effortnot. You guys probably had it figure out though. Gordy
[RCSE] Remote Button Photo of Mod available
Okay guys, a photo is worth a thousand of most people's words, but about equal to my eloquence...so if you HAVE a JR 10 Synth RX and want to do the mod, ask me off line and I'll shoot you some naked photos, and some of the mod detail too :) Gordy Remember this...modifying the RX voids its warranty...and that just makes it that much more fun to do. Have some balls and remember you own it, so you can decide to take that extremely dangerous risk...Some ability to point a small soldering tip is necessary for this mod. :-)
