[RCSE] Insurance Question
Has anyone really read the insurance policy from Westchester on the AMA site? According to the verbage there is a $250,000 Self Insured Retention. The verbage "Self Insured Retention" is a fancy way of saying "Deductible". I know I certainly couldn't afford a deductible this high and I realize some damage would or could be covered under my home owners policy but how protected are we? So does anyone know where in the 57 pages of the liability policy where it states something different? Thanks--Glenn W.Tri-Cities, Wa Do you Yahoo!?

Pat,Thank you for your support. Mid-Columbia Soarers has done a great job in keeping this site available and it is just a shame for the AMA to quit offering supplemental insurance. They think that only a few sites are affected by this movebut it affects many flyers that visit this site from all over the world. I thought the AMA was suppose to help procure and maintain our sites.Maybe I was wrong. I sure hope they take the time to read the comments on thercgroups forum and understand the impact it will have on the soaring community.

Re: [RCSE] Loss of Eagle Butte
Tom,To be added to the hang-gliding guy's insurance means that we wouldhave to join USHGA. Not a big deal but USHGA might have an issue with insuraning models and not hangliding pilots. The HG's pay an exta 2k a year to use the site which makes it the most expensive place in the United States for Hang-Gliding insurance. So there has been some discussion on this topic but it doesn't seem like a probable direction.I did have a talk with the guy that runs the hangliding group and ask for some information about their supplemental insurance and I know that the MCS President has this information so that could be an avenue and suspect that Doug has already gone this route. I haven't talked to Doug recently but have a call and email into him to see where everything stands. Hopefully there will be good news soon.

Re: [RCSE] Soaring opportunities in Spokane
Scott, Moving to the Pacific Northwest and Spokane will give you many great opportunities to fly a variety of contests. I am thankful I live in this area as the the Northwest Soaring Society, Inland Empire, Seattle Area Soaring Society (SASS), Portland Area Soaring Society (PASS)and Mid-Columbia Soarer's put on several contests a year. You will only be 2 hours away from one of the premier slope sites in the US (Eagle and Kiona Butte), there is aerotowing that goes on all over Washington and the NWSS people are a great bunch to fly with. There is a schedule of events that is on the NWSS website, this next year wewill have the 30th Annual NWSS Tournament here in Pasco, WA. The 2006 events will be posted I'm sure soon. There is HLG flying all over and in my oppinion some of the top pilots that make up the IHLGF live and compete in Seattle. So whatever you fly you will be in great shape and have plenty to choose from. Here is the NWSS Site. http://www.northwestsoaringsociety.org/index.htmlThanks.--Glenn W.Tri-Cities, Wa Yahoo!

[RCSE] MCS HLG Contest Success
I want to personally say thank you to everyone that came to the first ever Tri-Cities HLG contest (A.K.A. the TCIHLGF). I feel it was a success pulling some of the best pilots in from the upper Northwest, and a flyer all the way from Germany (hence International, not to be confused with the IHLGF) not to forget the new and up-comming folks from the local area. In total we had 12 pilots competingwhich was perfect in size. It wasa very close fight with 1 point separating 1st - Phil Pearson and 2nd place - Adam Weston and rounding out 3rd in Expert Class was Tim Johnson. In Sportsman Class 1st Placewent to Don Stewart, 2nd Place went to Doug Coleman and 3rd Place went to Joe Campbell. All of these guys were flying their first HLG contest and did very well. Congrates The plane of choice is seems to still bethe Encore. I know I need to step up to at least be more competitive with them. There were several designs including planes from Jay Decker, Doug Coleman and I flew a Photon (It only took me a year to get it in the air). Special Thanks goes out to Scobie Puchtler of Liftworx for taking the time to fly over in his Cessna 140 and putting ona demo with his Seeker. This is a cool plane that breaks down into a box just bigger than the width of a wing panel. It launches big and flies great. Contact Scobie([EMAIL PROTECTED]) to order one and big thanks to Liftworx for sponsering the contest with a kit. Tim Johnson was the lucky winner of the kit ( I was s close ). Additional thanks goes to Adam Weston for helping me run my first contest, Jay Decker, Kirby Park, Doug Coleman for helping me get all the supplies and everyone else that pitched in. I think we accomplished what we wanted to for our first contest letting some new fliers get a tasteon how the big dogs do it. This was a very low keyed event and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Next year I'll do a bbq guys. I look forward to hosting more HLG's in the future. Don't forget about the Pacific NW Hand Launch Glider Regional AMA Contest, 60 Acres Park (A. Weston)(field closed to all but contestants) in September. I hope to be there to show the support and to get my butt kicked some more so I can cry to the boss about needing and Encore.

Re: [RCSE] LSF competition requirements
Rick, I just made level 2 last week and I too was confused on the LSF requirements and wrote Dennis Adamisin here is what he had for me. I gather six is the bare minimum but you can continue until you reach your score or win a contest. I don't have the sheet with me so can't remember all the rules. Hope this helps, but he is fast to reply I would suggest writing Dennis as well. Glenn, Part d is the final answer to the equation; your (participant's) competition points (Your score/Winning Score) x 100 x (# of entrants - your standing + 1) = Participant's (your) competition points. Your example: (4400/5500) x 100 x (6+1) = 560 LSF points (Participant's Competition Points) Scoring matrix does not matter for HLG versus TD. Ultimately your score is a percentage of the winners score, whether the totals are in the 500's or 5's has no impact. The biggest factor is the number of contestants and of course, your placing. For example, if you fly a big contest like the NATs with 100 entries, first place earns 10,000 points regardless of his actual score. Assume 51st place had 50% of winners score, normally that would not sound like much of a flight score, but that would earn 2500 points - almost all of a Level 2 requirement. That's why I made sure to record my NATs scores because even though I flew placed poorly, I got a lot of points just because of the entry totals. Just make sure you get a minimum of six contests with at least 5 entries each for Level 2. Does this help?

Sorry about that. I assumed that was the amount of contests. Now, I know that different contests seem to have a different scoring matrix, my handlaunch stuff i'm usually scoring about 4-5k but I don't think that matters but i'll ask anyway. Lets say there are 8 contests I outscore 6 of them get a 4400 and the winner gets 5500 it should look like this correct? 4400 / 550 x 100 x (6+1) = 560 but where does part D Particpants Competition Points come into play? I assume that I can do either a placement or a competition points or is it once you start one way you have to finish that way.

Re: [RCSE] What is a PIF file
I haven't been following all the threads about the "PIF" - Program Interface File; this is a Windows 3.1 and above file that told windows how a program was to be allocated, i.e. in foreground, background, what memory allocations, window or fullscreen attributes. This is I assume the authors way of trying to disguise this particular file type/virus. Hope that helps, sorry if it's been explained already. Glenn W. Tri-Cities, WA __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: [RCSE] BEWARE! I didn't sent it!
Another tip, set the file type association of VBS- Visual Basic Script to "Edit" instead of open, this will eliminate 90% of those files written for the Outlook user. Simple and free fix, now if anyone wants to send me a completed DHLG in one piece for the information I would be greatly apprectiated. Thanks and good Luck\ Glenn W. Tri-Cities, WA __ Do You Yahoo!?

[RCSE] LSF Questions
I have some questions that maybe some of you that have already gone through it could answer. 1) On level one do you have to do all 5 landings consectively? 2) Can I do all the tasks in one day? It only states you can't do 2 thermals in one day. 3) If i'm working on Level II do you have to complete all six contests if you place at a contest? I think i'm misreading that and wanted to verify. Also, it states that it has to be a contest that is LSF recognized by the size, rounds, and events. Under events it states the thermal Event guidelines, is HLG considered under the thermal events? I'm sure I am just reading some if it wrong but wanted to clarify. Thank in advance for any help on this. -- Glenn R.

[RCSE] FYI and Questions
If anyone is ordering a Berg RX the price for the xtals has gone up to $14.99. I called RC-Direct and was told that this batch would be more expensive. I figured I would mention this since the lastest issue of SE still shows $10. I guess this is probably because they have to have adds in early. My next question is has anyone used or have heard how well the FMA Versa Charger works and does it work with NiMH? For $49.00 it has a lot of options, but of course you sometimes get what you pay for. Thanks -- Glenn R.

Re:[RCSE] Re: Small NiCd]
I have seen posts out here about the small nicad's, Radio Shack sells a 9v Transistor battery that is a Metal Hydride battery that you can cut open and make 4cell packs, I hear it's about 100MaH and wieghs about .8oz. Now I went one step further and bought two cordless phone packs and made a pack that is .9oz and rates at 270MaH and is very small. I'm using it in a mhl that I'm about finished with. This was not a cheap pack, just trying it was $24.00 but they are 2/3 AAA. Yost doesn't show that they carry these sizes but if someone finds them elsewhere please let me know. Thanks. " -- Glenn R.

Re:[RCSE] Re: Small NiCd]
For those interested I went down to Radio Shack, the 270MaH, 2/3AAA batteries are made by Malibu Connections and come in a 3 pack. Part # PB-40ML, if you want to run 4.8v packs you have to buy 2 of these and they aren't cheap about $12 a piece. Ok for some of you that might be cheap.

[RCSE] HLG Help
I have an old Monarch, finally got it in the air, first flight was ok but it dove towards the end of the flight, like it ran out of elevator. I readjusted more throw, and tossed it again, begin and mid flight looked great then all of a sudden it dove out of control, like it stalled. Now in the second flight I made sure I kept my airspeed up and I couldn't pull out and miss the pole I tagged, broke the fuse in the back, no biggie easily repaired. Any ideas or does this sound like a stalling problem? I am thinking I"m going to have to get a newer lighter plane, I really have to keep this one moving. Thanks for any Ideas. Still looking for a good HLG that is prebuilt or almost without costing an arm and a leg. Next question, watching John Roe's DS tape and Endless Lift II how is HLG scored, is it how much time your plane is in the air during the time alotted? Are the scrores normalized between rounds?
