[RCSE] F3J in the Rockies - Pilots please read
We will be flying on the EAST FIELD -- 1/2MILE EAST OF TOWER RD ON 120TH AVE. See http://www.rmsadenver.com/ for directions. The pilot's meeting will be at 8:30 AM. As most of you know, I am disinclined to reward tardiness. Please sign the AMA waiver forms and be paid up before the pilot's meeting. You should have your planes assembled as well; so as to be able to set up lines and fly immediately following the meeting. The pilot's meeting will be brief as the rules are very straightforward: Full rules F3J - 4 man team protection - carryover of prelim scores to the finals. Top 10 to the finals - Get your own support for the finals! One throw out for the prelims - assuming 6 or more rounds are flown. One throw out for the fly-offs assuming 4 or more rounds are flown. Once the contest is underway, we will start the 5 min prep time for a group immediately after the previous working time ends. We should be able to complete a full round in about one hour. We will TRY for 8 ten minute rounds Saturday and 3 ten minute rounds Sunday before the 15 minute flyoff rounds begin about noon. SATURDAY 19-10 210-11 311-12 412-1 51-2 62-3 73-4 84-5 Sunday 19-10 210-11 311-12 Flyoff rounds continue until 4pm (last start). *** This message is intended only for the use of the Addressee and may contain information that is PRIVILEGED and CONFIDENTIAL.

RE: [RCSE] Ultimate soaring car? (extreme VAN)
If you are interested in a rig to take to soaring contests, I'm selling MONGO the van and my 21' travel trailer. MONGO is a 1999 Ford E350 Chateau van with a 7.3L TD engine (85K mi) and will carry a boatload of stuff AND seven passengers in comfort + gets great mileage for a BIG van. MONGO can tow 10K lbs too. The trailer (Hotel Howard) is a 2001 StarLite - sleeps 5 and is in great shape as well. MONGO goes for $11,500, the trailer $9,500. I'd make a deal on the pair. Thanks for the bandwidth!

[RCSE] RE: Why not 2Meter?
Title: Re: Why not 2Meter? Re: [RCSE] What's your favorite contest/gathering format? Thanks Daryl, I rest my case. Seriously - to be competitive in 2M you have tohave a decent airplane (there are notable exceptions but most of us aren't them). For MOST of us this special 2M plane costs a wad of money and is virtually NEVER flown except once a year at the NATS. The rest of the year it sits gathering dust while we fly our club contests with Icons, Sharons and a myriad of aircraft; each one infinitely better in performance and fun than any 2M.We fly HLG or aerotow or XC or electrics --anything except 2 meter. Why is it that there are so few competitive 2 meter sailplanes being manufactured -ata timewhen there is a long waiting list for many unlimiteds?

[RCSE] Don't get me wrong - I have nothing against 2 Meter.
Hey I don't give a rats patoot if you guys want to fly 2 meter or run loose in the street naked if that makes you feel better. Just don't force me to join in. The only gripe I've got is that the LSF for some inane reason (known only to God and few mortals) sticks 2 meter in the middle of what is otherwise an enjoyable NATS week. THAT'S WHAT SUCKS! Stick it on one end or another and I'll leave quietly. Now you guys can get back to your 2 meter mutual admiration society stuff.

RE: [RCSE] What's your favorite contest/gathering format?
WHEN 2M dies, it's death will be mourned quite publicly by the few and cheered in private by the many. Once again the powers that be have forced the many to to their will by sticking 2M in the middle of the week; instead of on one end or the other.

Which brings us to my favorite format - F3J Even with winches this is a great task with lots of action. Everybody launches together and everybody lands together (the lucky ones). At most unlimited contests (444) the only real action is at the scoreboard. Seldom does an event occur to rival a F3J max from a broken line or pop-off. Only occasionally does a low-level save draw more than a yawn. Not so with F3J.

RE: [RCSE] High Altitude Glider
Jim, The 400 foot limit within 3 miles of an airport thing is an AMA safety rule; it has nothing to do with FAA airspace. So are the no autonomous flight and maintain unenhanced visual contact rules. The AMA rules used to correspond exectly to the published FAA guidelines for model aircraft operations. I don't know if they still do. Most of us that fly anywhere remotely near urban areas fly in controlled airspace (see below). The only reason that we are not violating FAA regulations is that the FAA HAS NO REGULATIONS regarding operation of model aircraft. The FAA doesn't even have a good definition of what a model aircraft is! The FAI does. Essentially if your model weighs less than 5 Kg. (FAI limit), then you have a pretty good argument for it being a model (unless you use it commercially). Depending on who you talk to at the FAA and what you're using your model for, they will probably say it's a UAV if you're going to take it very high - certainly if you're wanting to venture into class A airspace! Because model gliders routinely operate at a thousand feet or higher within controlled airspace, I firmly believe that the FAA should take control of model aircraft regulations. If nothing else, the FAA should provide guidelines and assistance (NOTAMS...) for high altitude model operations around established AMA facilities, XC operations, and record attempts. At the moment, it is impossible to work with those guys as they have no established procedures. Right now, the AMA has a head in the sand attitude and will take no action to coordinate with the FAA. ** All US airspace is classified as A,B,C,D or E - or uncontrolled. Class A is above 18K feet in the continental US. Class B is airspace from the surface to 10,000 feet MSL surrounding the nation's busiest airports. Class C airspace extends from the surface to 4,000 feet above the airport elevation (charted in MSL) surrounding those airports that have an operational control tower, are serviced by a radar approach control, and that have a certain number of IFR operations or passenger enplanements. Class D airspace extends from the surface to 2,500 feet above the airport elevation (charted in MSL) surrounding those airports that have an operational control tower. Generally, if the airspace is not Class A, Class B, Class C, or Class D, and it is controlled airspace, it is Class E airspace. Except for 18,000 feet MSL, Class E airspace has no defined vertical limit but rather it extends upward from either the surface or a designated altitude to the overlying or adjacent controlled airspace. There are Class E airspace areas beginning at either 700 or 1,200 feet AGL used to transition to/from the terminal or en route environment. *** Mark -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 17, 2005 9:20 AM To: soaring@airage.com Subject: RE: [RCSE] High Altitude Glider Jim, I've seen this site before. Projects like this are the reason that the FAA wants to regulate UAVs (and RC aircraft) flying under autopilot or video downlink. This case is specifically mentioned when they talk about having to control any aircraft in their airspace. It doesn't apply to RC until you get above 400', then you're in their space again. They also regularly use the example of a full scale helicopter flying under an RC trainer with a video downlink under it. The helicopter never saw the RC plane as it passed ~100' below it. Unfortunately this kind of story constantly pops up on the internet giving the feds more ammunition to make stricter regs with. Luckily the FAA isn't that concerned with typical RC flying, only with vision enhanced systems or autonomous systems.

Ben, In any event, if you are not a FAA licensed pilot or an airplane owner the FAA has no means of enforcing anything against you. FAR's are federal law.

RE: [RCSE] High Altitude Glider
Question: How would the average modeler ever know about a given local FAR, NOTAM, etc? law or not it is not likely we would be aware of said regulation. John, I think the answer is to educate the full-scale folks about the capabilities of model aircraft and establish procedures for model aircraft operations in special modes such as XC, and altitude record attempts. The AMA cannot do this. It takes the FAA. The FAA should mark sectional charts with model glider field locations - just as they do for full-scale gliders. They should issue NOTAMS for events like the NATS - not only for XC; but for any event where there is a possibility of collision. The average modeler is not flying at 3000 feet. Those that want to should be required to know and follow safety rules -- and full-scale aircraft flying in the vicinity have a right to know that model aircraft are operating there. Right now we all have to follow your suggestion - Fly with reasonable care, and know your location. But ask yourself if flying a model glider in an airport traffic pattern really makes sense? You are right -- if we ask the FAA if it's OK to fly at 3000 ft - they will say NO! That's because they don't understand models and are not responsible for their operations. If they were responsible, then they would be forced to implement solutions to these issues instead of passing the buck. The situation now is a disaster waiting to happen.

RE: [RCSE] High Altitude Glider
Ben, This should answer your question concerning FAA penalties for FAR violations: http://www.agl.faa.gov/publicaffairs/HowWork/Civil.doc As I said, penalties for violating FAR's can be levied on anyone - not just pilots. FAA regulation violations carry no criminal penalty per se. However many infractions are covered by other federal and state laws. Violations such as interfering with a crew member and flying while intoxicated are examples. http://archives.cnn.com/2001/TRAVEL/NEWS/07/31/faa.airrage/ In addition http://www.access.gpo.gov/uscode/title49/subtitlevii_parta_subpartiv_chapter463_.html From the U.S. Code Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [Laws in effect as of January 7, 2003] [Document not affected by Public Laws enacted between January 7, 2003 and February 12, 2003] [CITE: 49USC46317] TITLE 49--TRANSPORTATION SUBTITLE VII--AVIATION PROGRAMS PART A--AIR COMMERCE AND SAFETY subpart iv--enforcement and penalties CHAPTER 463--PENALTIES Sec. 46317.

Mark Mark- Can you please then tell us what penalty the FAA may enforce upon a non-pilot, non-aircraft owner for a violation of an FAR? Please site the relevant statutes. Please also compare the administrative process the FAA uses for enforcement actions with federal criminal proceedings which may result in fines and imprisonment. AC's are often sited in judicial proceedings (usually against pilots). While they aren't regulatory in nature, they support the FAA's intentions. As a pilot, if you dare to violate an AC you risk facing the wrath of some creative FAA inspector armed with his book of woe. -Ben This message is intended only for the use of the Addressee and may contain information that is PRIVILEGED and CONFIDENTIAL.

[RCSE] Pager? Interference
At one field I fly at often, we've had problems with interference since the facility was opened 3 years ago. JR receivers seem to have the biggest issues. I believe the early 700's (could be 600's) were worst. I've heard JR has updated the receiver to fix the issues. I mention JR only as information and NOT as a slam. Many of the guys that had problems with JR gear have replaced the receivers with RCD and have had no more big issues. A couple of weeks ago I (ch32) was aerotowing a friend's (Jon) sailplane. He got hit shortly after takeoff (ch44) and also just before landing - causing him to damage a beautiful sailplane. Jon was flying Airtronics gear (Stylus) PPM. Just a few minutes later a pilot flying a 1/3 scale 3D plane with JR PCM reported that he'd had a lot of hits. Turns out he didn't know if the interference was caused by his ignition, setup Or if it was coming from some other source. I witnessed several uneventful flights so I figured it was safe to fly. I fired up my trusty Skybolt and wrung it out for a few minutes. I thought I had a minor hit once - just before the thing dove straight into the ground - full throttle - from about 200 feet. The model exploded and was a total write-off. I've flown this model at the same facility dozens of times before without a problem. I used an Airtronics 660 / RCD 535 in the Skybolt. Of course a frequency scanner showed that my frequency was clean AFTER the wreck. Club members have tried in vain to find the source of the interference. I had not had many problems before I lost the Skybolt - a few glitches that last a second or so - and those are rare. But once Bob Vixie came out to fly there and his Tiger II went wacko on approach. It dove straight at the ground rolling - full throttle, pulled out inverted at about 3 feet and rolled back upright and cut the throttle - all on it's own before giving control back to Bob. Bob was so shaken that he shoved the radio at me and said Here - YOU land it!. Bob had the susceptible gear in his plane. Now to my question. Is it possible that this is pager interference? I've downloaded the coordinates of pager antennas from the FCC and plotted them. Connecting the dots by company reveals three possible sources. Of course I don't know if these are pager repeaters or not. Is it POSSIBLE that our field is in the path of a high-powered pager repeater - and that this could be the source of our interference? Our field is on the high plains just east of the foothills near Denver. The pager antennas are located in the foothills above - and in the plains to the east below. A hi-gain antenna (yagi...) will still probably have a beam width wide enough to cause a problem for anything close to the centerline of it's path. I've read that repeaters can use 300W of power! Any info that anyone can supply would be appreciated!!! - but please facts and NOT just opinions.

RE: [RCSE] Security issues and R/C models-keep politics off the exchange
Kevin, WHAT work with the FAA has Dave Brown done? In his August article - (which should be required reading for ALL soaring enthusiasts) he tells of his trip to the FAA; a meeting in which he said he was shocked to discover that pilots regularly flew models higher than 400 feet! Reminds me of Captain Renault from Cassablanca: Rick : How can you close me up? On what grounds? Captain Renault : I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here! [a croupier hands Renault a pile of money] Croupier : Your winnings, sir. Captain Renault : [sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much. Dave Brown participated in a record autonomous flight - then prohibited autonomous flight with an AMA safety rule! He has intervened to prevent new world records by at least 2 pilots I know by refusing to sanction flights into class A airspace or refusing record applications. He has NOT worked with the FAA in this area and he has left it up to the pilots to fight HIS fight with the FAA while he waits on the sidelines (sound familiar). We deserve better. Mark -Original Message- From: Kevin Sheen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 8:05 AM To: Barry Andersen; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [RCSE] Security issues and R/C models-keep politics off the exchange While I agree with Barry's premise that partisan politics (while at the same time sheepishly admitting to contributing to it in the past) are best discussed elsewhere, it would be foolish of us to ignore the effect of lobbying efforts in our represented republic. All three of the AMA presidential candidates mention working with various governmental organizations in their election statements. While Dave Brown's work with the FAA is important I think that all three of them might be neglecting the source of some of the more recent temporary flight restrictions (another debate in itself), that being Homeland Security. Large companies, organizations and other groups all hire lobbyists to ensure their interests are fairly represented in Washington (yet another discussion, money in politics). I think the AMA needs to not only continue the efforts they have made recently with the FAA and others, they also need to expand it to keep us out of the limelight and keep those who might be crafting legislation educated about our activities. I think this effort is truly non-partisan since it effects us all. This is just a curiosity question since I don't know much about the AMA at the president and AVP level (the executive counsil): Do the SIG presidents, TK and Jack before him, have much input in the AMA? My guess is they don't since they aren't included in the EC. One last item since I don't post much, did I miss the annual PETA v.

Mark -Original Message- From: Martin Usher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 9:20 AM To: RCSE Subject: Re: [RCSE] Security issues and R/C models-keep politics off the exchange Soaring should be a safe haven from politics. We can't ignore politics because unfortunately it won't ignore us. I'd wholehartedly agree that bringing in the NRA with all the baggage that entails isn't at all constructive but at the other extreme just pretending that government is going to look out for us -- or even care that we exist -- just isn't realistic. This whole thread started because it appeared that someone out there -- some mid to lower level official, not an elected politician -- decided that R/C aircraft presented a sufficient threat to the well being of important people that they could be disabled at will. Since we are now in a security-oriented culture nobody will tell us what they're doing or why so we don't even know for sure that this is happening and if it is under what policies it was applied -- we don't even know who to ask and we're unlikely to get answer sif we did. There are politics involved because politics sets the agenda, the cultural environment, and its the only way we're going to have any kind of input into this process.

RE: [RCSE] The SHORTENED Runway
Jim, When I was about 15, I read Flying Forts by Martin Caidin. I was truly impressed by the punishment that the plane could endure and still bring her crews back. Two stories from that book stick out in my mind. One is about an English gentleman that witnessed a B-17 land in an open field - away from any air bases. The plane rolled to a stop. When the Englishman approached to greet the crew, there was no one on board. The second is about a B-17 that was cut virtually in half by an Me-109. It managed to fly back to base where it landed safely, then broke in two. You can see pictures of the plane and other incredible stuff at: http://www.daveswarbirds.com/b-17/fuselag2.htm I found an old copy of Flying Forts recently and I scarfed it up. Mark -Original Message- From: Jim Porter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 01, 2004 4:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [RCSE] The SHORTENED Runway War stories: My father related this incident about a takeoff in a fully loaded B-17 about to embark on mission forty-something over Europe. He was lead in the second group to take off and was well into the takeoff roll when a gas truck, apparently thinking either everyone had left or that he had sufficient time, started to cross the active runway. Things were definitely not looking good when my father jammed full down elevator, compressed the gear, hauled back on the yoke and literally bounced over the gas truck. They left the tailwheel somewhere behind them on the runway after it hit the gas truck. The brief contact with the gas truck and the subsequent touchdown did enough damage to the tail cone that they did not make that mission. My father also had DFC, but I have no idea what it was for as he rarely talked about his actual combat experiences. He did, however, rather enjoy relating the fun stories. One of which was that occasionally they could find an excuse for a check flight. After fueling, they'd load up with the fixin's for ice cream, climb high enough to freeze the mix, make the ice cream and then quickly land and share with the other flight and maintenance crews. I think these were the things that provided the comic relief that enabled them to cope with what they experienced over Europe. regards, Jim Porter, soon to be Johnston Iowa Neckargemund-Dilsberg Germany The airplane stays up because it doesn't have the time to fall.

RE: [RCSE] Looking For Digital Camera
EVERY non-slr digital has noticable shutter lag. This is because of several reasons: The CCD has to be cleared for the shot. Autoexposure / autofocus chores performed.. Most cameras allow you to press the shutter halfway to focus and set exposure --- that helps. Panning with the action helps too. BUT if you want the shortest delay get a SLR. BTW you lose the LCD preview with a SLR - it's just used for playback.

Mark -Original Message-From: targetdrone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2003 3:08 PMTo: soaringSubject: RE: [RCSE] F3J Juniors Snubbed? Everyone did do a great job. My post did thank them and was not meant to insult them or their effort, especially Phil Renaud (who was on the spot to make the hard decision ). It was to meant to point out the lack of flight time for their investment. Many pilots and helpers really made an extraeffort to take the juniors under their wing, to teach them for the future, as well as help them perform better now. Thank you.Experienced pilotsdo this most of the time, but even more so at this event, as it is labor-intensive. I looked, but didn't see any guidelines posted for how often a junior flies. In the bid for the F3J worlds, it statesthe fees are half for junior ($125) as for those of seniors ($250) and tower/helper fees are also halved for juniors, so I can see that it would be fair that they fly less as well. But...the AMA and RMSA made no discounts to juniors for this contest. I think (read that as MY OPINION) that if they are paying as much, they should get equal time. If not, it should be spelled out before time, so guys like Phil don't have take heat for doing a thankless job. THAT is the purpose of this thread. Congrats Larry, you did an awesome job this weekend, especially on your incredible pop-off max. You da man. David Judson -Original Message-From: LJollySubject: Re: [RCSE] F3J Juniors Snubbed? David, It was very unfortunate that the weather did not cooperate at the F3J Finals. I believe that Phil Renaud and the Rocky Mountain group did a great job under the extreme pressure they were under to get this contest completed. It is natural for a competitor to want toget as many chances to fly as possible. It is always tough in an abbreviated contest, especially if you are sitting on 2 throw-out scores in a 1 throw-out contest. I don't believe that the Juniors were slighted, all had equal chances to score, and hopefully they enjoyed their competition and gained valuable experience. I agree that it would have been desirable for the juniors to have the same number of flights as the seniors. Even at the World Champs the Juniors will fly fewer roundsthan the Senior pilots. It is also desirable for the juniors to have their finals at the same site and time as the open contest so that they can gainexperience and learn the sport. We are lucky to have generous people willing to give up their Labor Day weekend to make this contest possible. Thanks a million to the crew that pulled this one off, you did a great job.

RE: [RCSE] Transmitter pack - Walmart 1850 mAh AA cells
Andrew, If you follow the digital camera forums, you'll see these mentioned all the time (1600+Mah NiMh batteries). I have read that there are some in the 1800Mah range that are pretty reasonably priced, and can be had with a 1 hr charger. I would guess that those can be fast charged no problem. I've been fast charging NiMh batteries since I've been using them without adverse effect - except perhaps a bit diminished life. The 1600 cells work great in a digital camera - which has about the same current draw as a transmitter (perhaps a bit more). I'd not hesitate to try a 2C (or more) charge on these, at lease for a short time, dropping to 1C or less to finish the job. I'm curious as to why you say they royally suck at this charge rate? Is this just a problem with the Energizer brand? Mark -Original Message- From: Andrew E.

RE: [RCSE] Hitec 225 strikes again I WAS LUCKY
I've used HiTech servos for years in lots of airplanes - both powered and sailplanes. I've never had a systemic failure of HS225 or HS85 servos. I would not consider them inferior to a comparable JR or airtronics servo. I did replace two HS85's in an Escape once when I blew out both aileron servo gears in a super hard F3J launch! I replaced them with JR368's (thanks Mike!) and never had a problem again. I should not have had the HS85's in there to begin with - the problem was caused by flutter of the surface - any plastic geared servo would have failed. I have HS85's in my Zenith as it does not get launched nearly as hard. The only problem I've had with the Zenith is stripping the Airtronics 141 flap servo gears. The flap servos are old, but they were free. I had to smile reading Gordy's post on smokin' motors. The last flap servo I fixed had a lot of crap in the servo and the motor. Yes - I cleaned it up rather than replace the servo (even pulled the motor apart and cleaned the commutator!). It did last thru the SWC. I'll replace the 141's with HS85MG's or HS225MG's and not think twice. OH BTW - I think the SWC finish/opinion/authority metric is GREAT! I finished 11th at the SWC, so that makes my opinion very near the top :-) Maybe if I had better servos, I could beat Fred (Sage)! Now if the other Fred is listening, I'm ready to sign that big sponsorship deal.

RE: [RCSE] Model aircraft legislation - truth or rumor?
I wrote Dave Brown concerning this issue. Here is his reply. This is news(?) to me I doubt if there is any foundation, but I'll look into it. The only part with any POSSIBLE validity, is the no autonomous flight, as this has been discussed as a possible reaction to security threats. No new experimental aircraft? You would hear the hue and cry from EAA so loud it would deafen you, and I haven't heard a peep out of them. Dave Brown -Original Message- From: Loren Blinde [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, December 29, 2002 11:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Howard Mark Subject: Re: [RCSE] Model aircraft legislation - truth or rumor? Be cautious about dismissing this issue out of hand. I'd encourage you to go back to the August 2002 issue of Model Aviation and read Dave Brown's and Bob Hunt's columns. They both talk about the potential for further government regulation of model aviation arising out of 9-11 related concerns about the misuse of model technology. Especially autopilot or autonomous control systems. While I have no special knowledge or insight about what may be happening, what Mark has related is entirely within the realm of possibility.

RE: [RCSE] RE: Model Aviation Soaring Column
If you go to hell - then you have to fly control line speed and nothing else all day - every day. OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER :-) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:Nostalgiaflyer;aol.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 30, 2002 6:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [RCSE] RE: Model Aviation Soaring Column Regarding soaring and AMA our greater number of entries in most of the recent NATS has not really acknowledged by AMA. RC pattern and Pylon seem to be the sweetheart events. Possibly because they spend a lot more money with the advertisers in Model Aviation. We have always had to do most of the work in our events--even before LSF took over. In defense of Model Aviation and Bob Hunt and control line I have a couple of comments. Unlike soaring where we all fly multiple events the control line events are radically different from one to another and most control line flyers fly only their specific event. Generally speed flyers only fly speed (and the several classes within it), precision acrobatic flyers only fly PA (and the three major classes within it), etc. Therefore coverage is given to each cl discipline. Soaring has always been soaring, that's it, even though we fly different classes and events. Free flight and indoor and treated the same as we are. Remember that LSF is a special interest group and AMA is a political organization. Since I joined AMA in 1955 there have always been complaints about some aspect of the organization but all modelers are much better off with AMA than without it and we should support it and change it from within if necessary.

RE: [RCSE] Help - 2A2FER(V-tail) Infinity 660
Been there - done that. NO - you CAN'T program it for flaps on 2 channels - read the manual! What you can do is get a servo reverser for the other flap and a Y-connector. Another thing you can't do - Have BOTH launch flaps and landing without using an alternate model and now HALF of your model memory for 2 of 4 models! To get launch flaps the BEST solution is to go ahead and use another model and set the flaps on that model in the launch position. Use the ALT MODEL switch to select that model for launch. When out of launch mode (ALT MODEL) the flaps are operated off the throttle lever as usual. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:Winch.RP;forces.gc.ca] Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2002 2:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [RCSE] Help - 2A2FER(V-tail) Infinity 660 I can't find a way to activate the second flap!

Towhook is 1/8 in front of that. No launch presets. Controls all neutral. First launch veered left and popped off about 30 feet up, going fast. Managed to pull out before a stall and fly the pattern.

[RCSE] RE: F3J in the Rockies - tow men available
Title: RE: F3J in the Rockies Bob, F3J is really not an incredibly strenuous activity. Towing with a pulley requires more bulk and leg strength; and less raw speed. You only pull for a few seconds. Guys in our general physical condition should have no problem. HOWEVER -- I am working to get hired tow men (high school football team guys) at the contest. Dr. Dan is also in negotaitions with another group. You will need to supply tow equipment - which requires a minimal investment (mainly mono) for a basic setup. Let me know if you are interested.

RE: [RCSE] F3J in the Rockies - frequency list
Dan, Different frequencies are not necessarily required for flyoffs. But all fly-off pilots MUST have a unique frequency. For this reason, I'd like to know what frequencies that pilots have available - so we can tell them which to use for the flyoffs. For example, I'm the only pilot registered on ch 59 - so I'll use that channel for the contest and the flyoffs. Skip, Dusty and Lenny are all on Ch 12 for the contest. They can do that because their team has protection (team members do not fly against each other) for up to three pilots. However, if they all make the flyoffs - each pilot will need his own frequency as they WILL fly against each other.
