Sheldon's Hobbies (http://mysheldonshobbies.com/ ) had a stack of 
them in the back room that they didn't advertise.  Any time that we 
wanted one we e-mailed them and they'd dig one out for us.  I don't 
know if they have them anymore but it might be worth giving them a 
call or and e-mail.


Happy flying,

Jimmy

It seems like there would be a market in nostalgia kits for folks like me.

[RCSE] Super Ava

[George]

One of the pilots who is a member of SSJSS in Bakersfield, Ca, is having 
some bad problems with his Super Eva.  None of the members in his club or my 
club has one so we don't know how to help him.


He says that very time he makes a turn it goes into a death spiral of about 
45 degrees.  The only way he can recover is to give it full down and 
opposite rudder and pull up when he has gained enough speed.


His name is Gary Ellington, [EMAIL PROTECTED]  If you can help him it would 
be greatly appreciated.  He's in his late 50's.  He doesn't subscribe to

[RCSE] Flying Stab Info?

[Jimmy Prouty]

Hi All,

I'm trying to explain how we make our full flying stabs to a friend 
and can't seem to get the idea across in terms that click.  He wants 
to make a two piece stab that can be removed for transport and then 
plugged in at the field.  Does anyone know of a website that explains 
how to do it?


Thanks,

Jimmy

[John Diniz]

Thanks to the CSS group for hosting this event. WOW that was some crazy
wind. As for my Supra in the tree - THANK YOU Gordy!!! I was ready to
write it off after we made it out to where the tree was. 

BTW - When your caller says to head to the trees and try to get some
slope lift don't do it. But hey, I'm the one moving the sticks so it
was my doing. 8^)

Thanks to all that braved the conditions.

Sounds like fun, glad I stayed home.

If you might be able to help out, please ping me off-line..

 

TIA,

[RCSE] TMSS/ESL Contest a success!

[Glaab, Louis J. (LARC-D205)]

Good afternoon,

For those who weren't there, we flew 13 rounds of MOM this weekend in some very 
nice weather conditions in Smithfield, Virginia.  Many great aerial battles 
took place with only a few encounters with the Bull living in the pasture just 
down-wind of the field ;-).  In addition, many flyers took part in the 
LSF-Ladder event and everyone had a great time.  Saturday's Après' Soaring 
session on Smithfield Station's Deck on the Pagan river in the spectacular 
evening conditions was also a great time.  I appreciate all those who helped to 
make this event a success and look forward to doing it again next year.

Thanks, Josh.
