[RCSE] Torrie Pines Flying
Hello, I'm going to be in La Jolla next week starting this Sunday. At this moment I am planning on bringing my Half Pipe along. What I want to know is it possible for visitors to fly at the Torrie Pines slope? The website for the Gulls mentions a series of achievement's / tasks that members need to do, and then indicates that visitors fall under a different criteria. What that criteria is I can't seem to find. Am I wasting my time to bring the sloper along??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. D RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Getting Bombed at MOSS Field
Tom Those are some spiders, we had the same phenom at Muncie today Cheers On 10/8/06, Tom Nagel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It was a beautiful early October day at MOSS field, the little berry patch out northeast of Columbus that our new member Gil Perez calls The Tree Farm We had clear blue skies, light winds, lgreat thermal lift, a handful of club members, a few visitors to the field and spiders. Lots and lots of SPIDERS! I think these things are called parachute spiders. They sit in the bushes and tree tops and spin out long lengths of spider silk, and when a thermal comes through they go sailing off across the sky. Our planes were coming back with hundreds of strands of spider silk (and presumably some pretty pissed of spiders) draped across the wings. One of the families that strolled by on their way to hike down by the lake had two sons; so we broke out the Air Hogs and did some recruiting. Dad and the older boy both flew air hogs successfully and I have a feeling we may see them again. And we got bombed. I have been wanting to experiment with bomb drop as an event for our electric flying. I had made up some fiber board disks about 2 1/2 in diameter, painted white with a big red X and a hole drilled in the midde. We strapped light dowel rods to the fuselage of some planes just aft of the wings (vertically, like little antennae) and dropped a bomb disk onto the dowel. The idea was to fly over the target, loop or roll or whatever, and let the disk fall off the dowel onto the target. The best Bill Hoelcher or I could do was about 25 yards from the target. I am sure Gordy will have plenty advice for us about getting bombed. Practice practice practice. I hope you all had a good afternoon, too. Tom H.

[RCSE] 14 Years and an Hour
It felt good this morning despite the fact I worked at a minimum 12 thermals and all of them way down wind. I started my Level IV in 1992 and by the end of that summer I had all the contest requirements. Now 14 years later, and on my first flight of the day, I completed my 1 hour flight. (My only previous attempt was nearly two years ago. It resulted in a 48 minute flight.) With luck, I'll sneak a 4 hour flight in at Brookville this fall and possibly the 2k flight next spring... Keep your collective fingers crossed Cheers David in Dayton RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
