[RCSE] Kornberg Leads!!

2008-06-21 Thread Dudley Dufort
In the overall scores, Dave Kornberg is at the front of the pack at the 
end of five rounds for the first day at Spring Fling 2008.  And he's 
leading with a 2-meter ship, no less.


I was walking down the landing area and heard Jim Sneed counting down 
for Dave as he lined up for a landing.  Twenty seconds  I looked 
downwind expecting to see Dave's ship on final with flaps deployed.  It 
was nowhere to be seen.  That's strange.  Where is it?  My eyes must be 
going bad.  Where's his plane?  Fifteen seconds  Over my right 
shoulder, screaming in from 500 feet comes a yellow demon.  In a 
beautiful descending arch, Dave guides his ship to the ground and nailed 
his time.  Did he get his landing points?  Who cares.  Ya shudda seen 
that approach.


More fun tomorrow.

Saturday's scores are posted at;

[RCSE] Shoe In

2008-06-16 Thread Dudley Dufort
So far, young Ben Wright from Thousand Oaks California, is the only 
Junior entry in Spring Fling 2008.


Kinda makes him the heir apparent for a First Place trophy in the 
Junior class this weekend.


The final day for entries is tomorrow.  If you've just now got your 
kitchen pass for this 2-day event or suddenly realized that it's only 
5 days away, shoot me an e-mail so I can get ya in the flight order.


Ben wants some competition.  He wants to win that First Place trophy 
fair and square.

[RCSE] Super SBXC for sale. Northern California

2008-05-22 Thread Dudley Dufort
Dennis has an SBXC for sale.  See message below.  He lives in Bishop.  
I'm going to Bishop for the weekend and could bring the plane back with 
me if anyone is interested.  Let me know quick.  I was going to drive 
the Honda.  If some one wants the plane, I'll take the truck.

 Original Message 
Subject:Super SBXC for sale
Date:   Wed, 23 Apr 2008 10:43:50 -0700
From:   Dennis Brackett [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: Dudley Dufort [EMAIL PROTECTED]



Hello Dudley.  I have decided to sell my NIB Super SBXC that I 
impulsively bought at a Fall Fest from Dean Gradewell about 5 years 
ago.  I am tending toward simpler,smaller and easier to transport models 
and not giant gliders like the XC.  I know from recent posts by you and 
other SVSS members that there is an active XC contingent in the 
Sacramento area.  This glider is all white on top with black on the 
bottom flying surfaces.  It comes packed in the custom wood box that 
Dean made to transport the glider.  I seem to recall I spent about 1300 
for it back then.  I'm not sure what a fair price is today. 

I also have a complete servo set purchased from Dieter at Shredair 
including small Vozz servos (suitable for tail mounting) to drive rudder 
and elevator.  I also have an Easy Patch 12 system purchased from Dieter 
to connect up all the electronics.  I don't know what I was thinking 
when I purchased all this stuff.  I do know that I will not 
realistically ever complete this beautiful model.  My modeling friends 
and I fly mostly small electric motor gliders, DHL and electric park 
floaters as well as slope.  The high starts are languishing in my garage 
as are most of my thermal duration models. 

Any way, I thought I would drop you a line in case any of your buddies 
might be interested in any of this stuff.  If so they can contact me on 
email. I plan on posting it on RC groups in a few days.  Sounds like 
your club is doing well.  Regards,  Dennis Brackett

The results of the Sacramento Valley Soaring Society April club contest 
are posted on the club's web site.


What an outstanding contest!!  For you poor buggers in other parts of 
the Country, you don't EVEN want to know what the weather was like out here.


42 entries.  That's an amazing level of participation for a monthly club 
contest.?  Thanks to CD Scott Meader and Winchmaster Tom Ball.  The 
Road Kill Krew spoiled us again with a terrific lunch.   I mean come 
on!  All ya can eat barbecued hot dogs with all the fixin's, potato 
salad, chips for two bucks.  Great weather, lots of pilots, fantastic 
food.  Is there another club in the Country can top all that? 


Lots of new stuff up on the web site.

*_Contest Scores_*
The April contest scores are posted.  You'll see 2 tables.  One shows 
contest standing sorted by Class the other table shows scores sorted 
high to low irrespective of class.  Some of us ain't go no class, anyhow!


_*YTD Scores*_
Although a bit early in the season to have much meaning, the Year to 
Date pages are up and running.  Again sorted by Class and Overall.  A 
note here.  The Year to Date pages include ONLY active SVSS members.  If

[RCSE] SVSS Season Opener

2008-03-05 Thread Dudley Dufort
This Saturday, March 8th, the Sacramento Valley Soaring Society launches 
the 2008 contest season.  Northern California pilots, and you bandits 
out of Nevada, are all invited to attend this season opener.  It's also 
rumored to be Jim Thomas' birthday.


Nickels and Dimes is the format.  Two five and two ten-minute rounds 
with sizable overtime penalties.  Landings will be scored on a 100-point 
tape.  Our very own Road Kill Krew will be serving all-you-can-eat 
barbecued hot dogs for a mere pittance.  The pilots meeting is at 9:45 
AM.  Flying starts at 10.


Following the contest, the field opens to fun flying, training seminars 
for new pilots and introductory flights for the general public.  It's a 
whole day of fun.  You're invited to join us.

[RCSE] Irish Thermal Safari

2008-02-06 Thread Dudley Dufort
Have ya had enough of Winter yet?  Here's something to look forward to 
and chase away those Winter blues.


Thermal Safari 2008 is scheduled for March 15th  16th.  Aye, it'll be 
an Irish Thermal Safari in honor of Saint Patrick's Day.  Home base will 
be Dunnigan, California. I believe that's Irish, isn't it?  The Green 
Team better be there.  Yeah, go Green!!


This year we'll complete the last two legs of this epic cross country 
adventure.  Beginning where we left off last year, on Saturday we'll 
launch south east of Williams, California and fly south to Dunnigan.  
Saturday night we'll indulge in vast amounts of fermented hops and 
barley, followed by corned beef and cabbage.  Then we'll hangar flying 
into the evening in beautiful downtown Dunnigan.  Sunday's flight plan 
takes us through the rolling hills on the west side of Dunnigan south to 
the little town of Yolo which is just north of Woodland.  Each leg is 
about 30 miles long. 

As in the past, the hallmark of this event is a spirit cooperation 
amongst all teams.  Not a contest, each team helps the others with 
thermal advisories along the way.  Bungees and winches allow teams to 
re-launch along the route.


Inasmuch that we usually don't get on the route until around noon, the 
Sacramento area guys can probably forgo the motel and make a daily 
commute to and from Dunnigan.  Out of towners are advised to make 
advanced motel reservations.  The phone number for the Dunnigan Best 
Western is (530) 724-3471.


GPS (Garmin format) route data files are yours for the asking via e-mail 
attachment and will soon be posted on the SVSS web site.


Once we have a head count I'll see what can be done to secure a private 
room at a local restaurant for Saturday's banquet.  Please let me know 
as soon as you have your team assembled.

[RCSE] Cross Country at SVSS

2006-05-24 Thread Dudley Dufort
Rich Beardsley has organized a one day cross country contest this 
Saturday (5/27) at the SVSS field.  He calls it a Montague Tune Up.  
The pilot's meeting is scheduled for 9:00AM.  The task is distance.  All 
planes on the ground at 3:00PM.  No entry fees, no trophies just a whole 
lot of fun.  The forecast calls for mostly sunny with temperatures in 
the mid 70's.  You couldn't ask for a better forecast for cross country.


The brand new RnR Cross Country plane, the MXC will make it's maiden 
appearance this Saturday.  There may be as many as three of these new 
high performance ships entered in Saturday's event.  Dean Gradwell (Mr. 
Montague) will bring his.  It's rumored that Rich Spicer and Richard 
Tiltman, the Rs in RnR will also be flying their new XMCs.

OK boys and girls! This is a reminder that Sacramento Valley Soaring

packin'  A couple of updates follow.
A list of nearby motels has been added to the SVSS web site.  Click on

reservations now even if you're not absolutely sure that you're going.  
At least you'll have a foot in the door, so to speak.
Be sure to check for open frequencies and get your sign up forms mailed 
in.  It's first come, first served on channel selection.
We're not doing T-shirts this year.  Just too many irons in the fire!!  
If you've already ordered and paid, you'll get a refund..
Lastly, no entries will be accepted after May 17th.  We need time to set 
up the flight order. Right now, there's plenty of time to get you entry 
form mailed in.  Please don't wait till the last minute.  We don't want 
to turn anyone down.
We're looking forward to seeing ya in 2 weeks for one of the best 2-day 
contest in the free world.

Cross country and other long duration flying requires greater 
transmitter battery capacity than is available in the stock radio.  
George Steiner and I came up with a quick fix for those occasions when 
an additional battery is needed to buy more flight time.  I'll be happy 
to share our modification with those interested.  Reply off list.  Dudley

I'm looking for a full house electric.  I'm more interested thermaling 
capabilities than electric flight abilities.  The motor would be used in 
lieu of a winch or high start.   Anyone have an opinion and/or 
experience with the XL 3200 from N.S.P?  Current planes flown include 
Tempest, Millennium, Addiction.  I'm looking for something that performs 
well.  I'd appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks, Dudley

Re: [RCSE] Spring Fling Map?

2002-06-18 Thread Dudley Dufort

David, sorry the club web site is down.  We're in the process of changing hosts and we 
got cut off by the former.  Our field is
pretty easy to find.  It's located in the People's Republic of  Davis, CA.  We're 3.8 
miles south of interstate 80 on Mace Blvd.
Tremont Road intersects Mace Blvd. at the entrance to the field.  Just look for our 
sign.  Easiest way to get there is to take
Interstate 80 through Davis and look for the Mace Blvd. exit then head south.  Dudley

[RCSE] Spring Fling

2001-06-11 Thread Dudley Dufort

The Spring Fling web pages got dumped from our server about a week ago.
I was at THE cross country event in Montague and just found out about it
today.  The pages are relinked.  Montague was fantastic!!  If you've
signed up for Spring Fling, you'll find you name, class and frequency
posted on the SVSS web site (www.svss.org).  FAQ's.  Yes there is
camping permitted at the field.  Water is available.  Sorry, no
hookups.  Club winches will be available for your use Thursday afternoon
and all day Friday.  Lot's of time for fun flying.  Yes, we are still
accepting entries and will continue to do so until Wednesday June 20.
Only nine days left.  Sold out frequencies are posted on the pilots
page.  Don't waste your time submitting an entry on a sold out
frequency.  Motel 6 (3 miles from the field) still has a few rooms
available.  Additional accommodations are not too far distant.  Dudley
