[RCSE] "Missed it by this much!" If only Maxwell Smart had a High End!

[GordySoar]

Killer funny movie by the way!  Don't even pay attention to the  reviews!
 
Okay -
Had a chance to actually fly my High End today!  

Perfect  weather, almost no wind other than that caused by strong thermals 
moving  thru.  A bit warm but not bad.  Plenty of puffy clouds, and streets  
too.
 
The winch today was a clubmates home brew with a few years on it,  He made it 
using an outboard motor starter, a 1" diameter F3B style  winch, and mono... 
not much bigger than a Lil Big Winch,  but it pulled the  High End up with no 
problems.. pretty impressive for a motor Not much bigger  than a coke can!
 
I flew it four times, and Ben Wilson took it for a stroll, so I could watch  
it fly.
 
Flying a mid wing again is extremely different feeling!
 
The HE's rudder is extremely effective when the ship is in cruise or lift,  
but almost disappears in sink...pretty handy tool, it really adds to the HE's  
ability to communicate!

Ben fly's a JW, and so I figured he might not warm up to this ship,  since 
its really a lot different feeling than that kind of ship but he figured  it 
out 
after about a 1 minute of flying and was off working all sorts of  different 
conditions.  His comments were equal "wow"...mine too.

The ship was described as 'groovy' by some of the big dogs who flew the  
early very heavy prototype, this one is 135" span at 74ozs so extremely light  
and 
agile.  
 
Very much like the Supra, reflex it and its a rocket, add 3mm of camber and  
she floats nicely...one thing that seems pretty unusual is that it doesn't 
seem  to need much more than that for launch camber, the thing really rotates 
well and  is s fast going up the line...the pings are spectacular...without 
that  tendency to 'flop' at the top...she just levels off and heads off on its  
own.
 
I expect like the Supra, it will take some time to really understand it  
fully but for nowdid I mentioned its tied with the Sharon for looks?   
Gorgeous...and 2.4 friendly.
 
Kind of nice not needing wrenches for a change...two piece plug in wing  
panels.
 
Gordy
 
This is not just another 'good' sailplane, in my opinion this is up there  
with the top 1 or 2 ships flying today...and I have one  :-).

Thanks for the update Robert... Do you have an email for Rick ?  It would be 
great to contact him after all these years 

You forgot to mention his extensive modeling background and his design of the 
White Trash... I still have mine :-) And I personally believe he was the first 
person  to ever handlaunch anything into a thermal :-)

[RCSE] Dustbowlers -- Let's Get Together In Tulsa This Weekend

[dharban]

Several of us dustbowlers are among the many who had planned to go to
St. Louis this weekend.  While down and disappointed, we are not out --
yet.  We are going to get together and hold our own "I Coulda Been a
Contender (in St. Louis)" event at Blue Springs this weekend.  What we
do will depend to some extent on who (how many?) want to come.

So you guys in KC and Wichita, Tulsa and anywhere else who are
interested, sign on here and we will fill in the blanks.

At the very least, we will fly competitively, have fun and probably
burn some meat and spill some beer.

Happy Landings,

Don

I'll add $25 to Ed's bid. Note that I am not bidding $100 for the
radio, I have a Futaba that I really like a lot. I'm just adding $25 to
Ed's bid. I've found that contributing to the delinquency of guys named
Ed can be entertaining. Plus this is for a spherically good cause.

I found the older MQN05-4 charger w/4 AA cells on clearance for $11.00. 
I bought several to give to family members for digital camera use.   

The web site shows a newer model MQN06 charger.

[erashby]

I just picked up some of the Sanyo Eneloop cells. My local costco had
the pack with 8 AA and 4 AAA and 2 D cell adaptors and 2 C cell adaptors
and a 4 battery charger for $25. They also had 6 AA and 2 AAA cells (no
charger) for $19. The cheapest I found the cells on line was at Thomas
Distributing(http://thomasdistributing.com/shop/-sanyo-eneloop-aa-2000-mah-4-battery-pack-in-sanyo-casebrultra-low-discharge-nimhbr1-free-extra-4-cell-battery-casebr2-3-877-per-4-pack-3-or-more-857-p-287.html?SP_id=50&osCsid=2dp41kq2im3adbvdt85o44l1m3)
were 4 AA cells for $9.97 + $7.90 shipping; 8 cells for ($8.77 x 2)
$17.54 + 7.90= $25.44. So, for the difference in local tax on $25, you
get 4 AAA cells and the charger and C and D cell adaptors in addition to
the 8 AA cells.

Re: [RCSE] Kornberg Leads!! But I won RES :-) And I'm pissed....

[Craig Allen]

Holly Cow I won RES for the second time in three years.

Came down to my last 9min flight... I didn't get a landing all weekend.. Hell, 
I didn't even come within 3 feet of the spot,, And what a small spot it was... 
I thought I needed a 100 pointer and my time to win... So when I got an 80 
landing and my time I was thinking I got 2nd place... 

But Gordy had it right I was Rooted all weekend... 

First a big apology to Fred Weaver... I had a feeling this weekend was going to 
shit when Fred was yelled at for returning his 2.4 transmitter without a pin 
when they never gave him one..

My weekend was so much fun :-(

First  the Smoking Police... Turns out after 8 years that now their is a SVSS 
no smoking on green grass policy because of a perceived fire danger.. No 
problem barbecuing with a open flame or cutting dry grass or flying electrics 
that as we all know like to catch on fire when they crash... No.. Just make a 
public example out of me F U... 

Then I was yelled at over and over... First it was were I was standing while 
flying,,, Were I was flying...  And Oh ya.. U can't fly over your head at 30 
seconds... Been doing it for 40 years... Now its against the rules... 

SVSS is a perfect example of when you give someone a little power they turn 
into Nazi's What ever happened to the  SVSS rule # 1 2 and 3.. Having Fun? 

Disclaimer.. Despite being yelled at all weekend I still had a good time being 
with friends and the contest was run smoothly... A big shout out to Dudley 
Dufort for all his work keeping time.. I know it must of been hot as hell in 
that trailer.

Ok.. I'm done 

Craig.. PS.. The Falcon barely made it homeI'll be replacing the U joints 
tomorrow :-)

[RCSE] The Flamingoid Lives!

[Tom Nagel]

  Friday night was our local club's annual Summer Solstice Jim Clark 
Memorial After 6 thermal contest.  Best total of three flights after 6 p.m. 
wins.We had a large turnout, and did a special flyover in honor of our 
recently deceased president emeritus Hugh Rogers.  We got as many of Hugh's 
planes in the air as possible, including one he had just finished a few days 
before going into the hospital.  Hugh's daughters and extended family were 
on hand.



   The Infamous Flamingoid had a bad night, though.  It took a perch in the 
very top of a 45 foot tall maple back in the brambles and thorn bushes 
between the field and Walnut Street.   I shouldn't have been surprised. 
Flamingoids are known to nest at this time of year.


We know for a fact that it was a 45 foot tall tree because Jay Watkins 
has a 40 foot collapsable pole, and when we full extended it and reached up 
as high as possible, we were just able to touch the underside of the 
flamingoid.  That bird was not coming down, and I couldn't get up into the 
tree to convince it otherwise.


   I limped home Friday night, disappointed in my own loss of depth 
perception and suffering from the slings and arrows of outrageous Sovereign 
landing patterns.


   Saturday morning Don Herbert and I returned to the scene of the crime, 
with a stepladder, climbing pegs, a throw rope, pruners, a bush saw and 
implements of destruction.  I climbed about half way up the tree and used 
half the pole to gently poke the Flamingo out of its nest.   In a remarkably 
short time it started to slide down the outside of the tree---Tail First!


   "Oh no!" I thought---"Fractured tail feathers!  Fissures of the 
fuselage."  Then at the last second the hooked Flamingo neck and beak 
snagged a low hanging branch.


   The Flamingoid wound up hanging by its beak just above the bushes.  The 
pole pruner nudged it down to a safe landing.  No damage!


   Overnight in a tree top, a 45 foot slide back to the bushes and it is as 
good as new.  I realize, that isn't all that good to start with, but it is a 
happy ending to the tale nevertheless.


   And as always, there is a moral to the story-
as a famous German Bauhaus industrial designer once said:  :Form Follows 
Funky."   Or something like that.
