Check with Alberto at Hobby Club. I think he is bringing those in.

Have to have them shipped by sea, so need to know if I can get 
enough to make it worthwhile.  Won't know price until I know how 
many I can order. Let me know if interested.

[RCSE] IS This piece of crap heavy!!!! The Phrase Heard Most Often At The SWC Today

2008-02-15 Thread GordySoar
Might be the words heard from a certain multi-world champ flying  the World's 
Heaviest Carbon Supra Lite today at the SWC I need  new  glasses but you 
need your head examined!
Course it didn't help that I have the landing comp set up  in reverse so that 
it balloons at full flap, just to make this comp  challenging  for me.

Did I mention that it was definitely Duck weather all dayas in the  kind 
of Duck that quacks versus launches!
 
It was misty and cold most of the day...the grass was fine but the dirt  
roads were mostly mud.

Fantastic facility!  Bathrooms close by, showers and a restaurant  right on 
the property...and...the catering guy was set up all day with  everything from 
BBQ to Hot Dogs.  Good stuff  and hot...important  today.
 
There were planes up all day, some times skied out - sometimes just  shooting 
landings.

The landing zone is a runway 'ladder' or boxes.  Boxes are 2 wide  2 long, 
the center being 500 points and the ends (5 boxes in total) being 20  points , 
nose on a line is zero... (I might have the  dimensions off a little on the 
boxes :-). 
 
I heard the flight times will be like 20mins or more... (not sure that's  
accurate either :-).
 
In any case I have a red face tonite...from wind and I suppose rays  
too...should have put some screen on.
 
Definitely some fantastic thumbs out today, so its gonna be tough. I'm  
shooting for 50th place .  (I mean me and some others drew numbers out  of a 
hat 
for specific placement finishes, so its gonna take some calculating to  make 
the 
spot at the end, there's like $3 cash on it(might have that  part wrong 
too:-).

Did I mention it was cool and wet? Seriously my plane spent very  little time 
on the ground today...We all flew a lot.  At the end the  weather went from 
occasionally misting to actual drizzle, so they took down the  winches...we 
tried to 'resist' but it was futile, apparently they didn't want us  to break 
the 
lines :-)
 
I did have a chance to test fly their winches and hats off to Rick Bothell  
and winch crew, they work really well with plenty of pep to gives us a nice  
contest launch.

So I joined the Colorado F3J boys on their bungees, for about another  half 
hour or soPete Goldsmith was launching a V tail Duck and was killing us  
all on alt by at least 40' per launch..course my WHCSL outweighs it about 29.5  
ozs.
 
Anywho...we're here and you're not!

 Gordy,

The 4X WC is staying at my house. We just got back from dinner.  
Thanks to you we had an extra beer as the 4X WC told me how FUBAR  
your plane is.  Great laughs.


The potential good news for everyone is the 4X WC's glasses are FUBAR  
as well. He called a week ago wanting to get set up for an eye  
appointment at a 1 Hour glasses place. He needed to take care of  
this because the Spring Break capital of the world where he lives  
doesn't have such a thing.


Well, I set it up. I went to them and said, don't care what you do,  
but this guy cannot get a good set of glasses. So, 4XWC spent nearly  
6 hours at the mall where this place is located trying to get his  
glasses fixed. He just hasn't figured it out and his glasses are  
still FUBAR. Well, two things got done. One, he didn't get to  
practice yesterday and his glasses are FUBAR.


Today he went to the field and flew a little. After flying he went  
back to the mall to get his glasses worked on.. They are still FUBAR  
and the contest is tomorrow. Should be interesting. If he wins, the  
glasses are fine. If he loses, he will blame on the glasses. I've  
done my part.


Rick Bothell did a great job on the winches. We did lots of testing  
and they should do an outstanding job for the contest. Despite the  
weather today, the forecast is for great weather this weekend.

It's always both a pleasure and an education to look over a master's 
shoulder while he plies his craft.  And, you have opportunity to do so. 
Over in the Thermal section of Sailplanes in RCGroups, Jim Thomas is 
building a Windsong for Bubba - take a look and see why the Windsong is 
truly a thing of beauty and a joy forever and pick up some building tips 
too.

Bubba is NOT deserving.   :)   But Jim is a cool guy, and Rob does pick good 
friends.
