[RCSE] Big Thank You's - 2007 F3B Team Selects
Jack Iafret, Robin Meek, Hutch Hutchison (kidnapee), Jim Deck, Joe, Dave Hauch, Dave Corven, Phil Renaud, Marc Gellart, Mike Lachowski, Joe Wurts, Marlene Valdes, anyone that I have forgotten to mention, and the AMA.. THANK YOU ! I just want to make darn sure that you all know just how much I, as well as the other competitors, appreciate the time you put in toward organizing and running this years F3B Team Selection contest. Even as short handed as we were, you all were able to multi-task to help pull off 6 rounds of F3B competition complete with rain delays :-) I know that it seems like it is a lot ofwork just to select a team from what seems to be a quickly diminishing pool of F3B enthusiasts, but it truly is efforts like yours that keep the flame flickering. F3B is in my opionionTHE RC soaring event. It is challenging on so many levels. I also want to thank the pilots who chose to participate this year. I know too that it is difficult to put so much effort toward getting out to a contest where there are so few competiting. Although, I am sure that like me you all think that even a small F3B contest is a fun event not to be missed. In my area here in San Diego, there is a little more interest being generated for F3B. Someof our club members are getting gliders so they can start flying the tasks and checking F3B out for themselves. They saw Aaron and I practicing and thought it would be fun to try. That is where the flame first sparks. So, I encourage everyone to keep taking the equipment out to the field and setting out the Mono and hoops and just fly. You know how fun the gliders are to fly...they're nimble and fast, and strong, and they put smiles on your faces. It sure would be great to see the kind of participation that F3J enjoys. Thanks again for your perserverance, and your love for F3B. Finally, I would like to say that I feel like we have a really good team for the 2007 World Championships. I am honored to be a member of the team with Tom and Aaron, and to be able to represent US F3B Soaring at the World Championships one more time. We will keep you posted and put together our web page soon. Thank you for the bandwidth. Sincerely, Mike Smith 2007 F3B Team Pilot RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Rare, Harley-built Genie Pro will be available.
This is the 130” span version of the Genie built with the composite fuselage. Go to File 7 of the Genie web pages at http://genie.rchomepage/. Page 1 shows this ship with its first wing. It had a slight twist and a 2^nd wing was finished for it this spring. After being flown in one contest, it has been stored. It is undamaged and a good polishing will do wonders for the cosmetics. For more information and pricing, ask me to e-mail you the “GP info sheet”. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Thoughts From the F3B Team Trials (long)
I am now back at home and had a few hours to rest up. I was happy to see a few posts on the team trials. This years contest was well run by CD Jack Iafaret. Compared to past team trials, this one was smooth and laid back. The previous posts have already discussed the manpower shortage we faced, and the outstanding help from the folks who were able to make it to the field. I would like to personally thank every helper who took the time out of their schedules to drive to Muncie and participate in the team selection process. Hutch, Robin, Jack, Marc, Joe, Dave Hauch and everyone else whose names escape me, you did a wonderful job of throwing an intense contest. I would also like to thank my wife Marlene for spending several hours at base B calling turns in distance and speed. Between practice and the contests, I think she may be approaching 500 speed runs. As I said earlier, Jack did a great job of keeping the contest laid back. His motto was that the contest was for the pilots, not the officials. He was able to keep things moving quickly, without an overall feeling of hostility. I never felt like the contest got out of control, and when there were any issues, Jack resolved them in an amicable way. This years group of pilots was also a pleasure to fly with. There were certainly some trying moments, but it seemed like the fraternity of F3B boys came together to help out when needed. Randy Chronic came through with an assortment of CA and epoxy when I ended a speed run abruptly (smacked my plane into the ground after crossing the line). And it seemed like all of the teams cooperated to manage line breaks and help each other with launching and contest management. The contest itself was full of good memories. One of the best was a low altitude save that Mike Smith pulled out on the final duration flight. He already had maxes for the previous flights, so there was not really any pressure. But the Muncie thermal gods are finicky, and he found one of the 2 mile wide patches of sink. I could not call him into any decent indicators, except for a cloud of small bugs at about 8 feet AGL. Mike wrapped the thermal up and managed to work it downwind for 5 minutes. It just didn't have the pop to really let go, so when it was time to come back to the tape, he ended up short. But everyone at the contest cheered for the superb display of piloting skill. It was a great flight, and a lesson to everyone, never to give up. I really enjoyed flying speed this year. We had great air on Friday, followed by variable air on Saturday and Sunday. I managed to squeeze out a 14.51 for my first run of the contest, luckily keeping Tom Kiesling behind me with his smoking 14.7. My backup had my previous best time in practice, and seemed to be a little faster than my primary model. However my first run of the contest brought that title back to the primary model. There were some other very nice runs flown by guys like Randy Chronic, Tim Foster and Rich Burnoski. And of course, Mike Smith gets the award for machine like precision on every run. It seems like every one looks exactly the same. That little Altus is one fast airplane. Distance was also an interesting event. I don't ever remember seeing any blistering distance air, and this made the task of flying the course especially challenging. Time management and smoothness was required. Two of the most memorable flights were Mike Lachowski flying against me in the final distance flight, and Tom Kiesling flying against Mike Smith in his final flight. Both Tom and Mike L really let out all of the stops to win those rounds, following the lift WAY downwind. Mike S and I already had 5 thousands in distance and didn't risk our models by chasing the lift. I really admire the determination of Tom and Mike for working it down to the last few feet and landing way the heck out there. Dennis Phelan and I managed to have the only midair in distance this year. Unfortunately it toasted my Europhia. It was a racing accident and these things happen, but I was really sad to see that model go. Luckily my backup came with some good credentials, thanks to Martin Weberschock. It was his C model from the 2005 world champs. Overall, I had a good time at this years team trials. I am very thankful to have made the team. I would like to thank my entire family for supporting me through the years in this sport. My wife Marlene and my Dad Al have spent countless hours pushing buttons at the field. My mom who used to drive me to the contests as a kid. My kids for putting up with step dad taking weekends off to fly to Indiana for airplane contests. As well as my good friends Mike Smith, Don Vangundy, Parviz Kamiab and all of the other TPG members for helping us out and tolerating our practice sessions at the Poway field. Also, Futaba has been my sponsor since 1995 and supplied me with great radio equipment for the contest. Lastly I wanted to mention my friends David Klein and John Diniz for coming out to work as our

[RCSE] I was at the UAV Convention this week and you weren't
Got to see some really kooky stuff and some pretty cool stuff to. It ranges from incredibly low tech to very high tech. One Israeli group was also on the F3J team for a lot of years. I met up with Michael Volz there and got to spend a lot of time just walking the floor and checking out 'stuff'.There was a bunch of super micro UAV's and a bunch of foamies too. Life could be worse ;-) Next stop? ESL two day this coming weekend, Maryland. Gordy
