Interesting that most of the Most Fun Planes have flown on the slope. You have to have been around for awhile and live in SoCal to remember the Rubber Ducky. It was a 60 span sloper, rudder elevator, that thermaled like a champ and was just made for fun. It used the 2r112 profile and became the basis for my second WR X/C airplane. It would fly in popcorn farts, do all of the R/E pattern maneuvers, perform great increasing amplitude hammerheads, ah ya hadda be there. How could it have been so long ago.

[RCSE] Photon II new version DLG
Gentlemen A great free Flighter, Martyn Cowley, convinced me to do something with the Photon II that has turned out pretty well. First, he convinced me to offer an unflapped version of the P II specifically for the FF community and for those of you who simply want to enjoy a great DLG without the complexity and expense of flaps. I flew the first of these models about 2 weeks ago and it is still delightful to fly. It will glide ever so slowly into you hand for catching. Now, a simple 3-channel radio and you can fly almost anywhere, anytime, with the same performance that JW flew to third at the Nats. The Photon is a Fun Toy as he (JW) remarked at Visalia. Price for the unflapped version is $ 325.00 plus shipping. Since the Thanksgiving list is filled up, Christmas is the next time for Delivery (I hope, you never know with my guys). BTW, when I made the Poway flyoff in 01, I flew unflapped models. I did get the Transmitter modified though. I had a 2k trim pot added in parallel with the rudder stick pot, with a double pull, double throw, momentary interrupt switch. I dialed in the amount of rudder trim I wanted and when the switch is depressed, the rudder goes to a pre-set position. My throwing style was such that I didnt use elevator pre-set. Worked great. Secondly, The introductory price for the Charm will last until the First of November. After that, the price will be $ 575.00 for this excellent RES model. Get your orders in before the first of November for the $ 525.00 Price. Jerry Krainock Jerrys Models www.netmeister.net/~jerry RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Photon Shameless Plug
Gentlemen I have delivery positions open in the July/August shipment of Photon IIs. I will be raising prices slightly for models ordered after this delivery. These models are high performance DLG gliders for sport flying and Competition. The quality of construction has to be seen to be believed and the performance and handling are to the same standard as the construction. A couple of quick comments about performance. There have been some statements about the Photon and other poly models ability to penetrate in windy conditions. Here in SoCal last summer, Larry Pettyjohn had a very convincing win in SC2 Hand launch competition in a windy comp. held in Long Beach. The contest didnt start until after 1:00 PM and featured 12 to 15 MPH winds. Typical summertime on shore flow for Long Beach. Larry flew a Photon I at 350 gram and ignored the wind, had 30 gm of ballast on board. Flyers in the field who have made the flyoff at Poway included L. Jolly, B. Watson, J Erickson, C. Greening and me. Not a bad field. The Photon II has less fuselage wetted surface area and a cleaner wing mount + a camber changing flap. It is a fine penetrating glider. And of course, there is always ballast. Secondly, much has been made about the inability of Poly models to launch as high as Aileron Models. Actually, this is apparently the case, as a poly model presents the side area of the upturned wing tips as well as the Fuse and vertical stabilizer to the airstream during the yaw excursions. However, Watson, Erickson and Pettyjohn are all capable of launching to 140 feet or better, which is about 25 lower than the highest launchers in the country. The Photon II is extremely easy to fly, especially at 10 when you are making a save, not a bad tradeoff. Flying the Photon, Jonnie E has a couple of wins over Wurtz and and an SC2 seasonal championship. Not too Shabby. My Web Site can be found through Rcsoaring.com. Mfg.s and Distributors.

[RCSE] People are talking
Here is what people are saying about the Photon II Arthur in NJ: The model is fantastic,the workmanship is beautiful. Greg in San Francisco: Once again I have to say that I'm really impressed with the quality of the Photon II. It is the 7th dlg I've owned and it is definitely the cream of the crop so far in terms of engineering and construction. I've no doubt it will fly great as well considering the light weight and Mark Drela airfoil. John in Santa Clarita: This is a beautiful plane up close. The wing mount, the pod, even the hatch cover are immaculately produced. I'd had it assembled for a bit before I flew it and I wasn't sure it would be able to take a full launch as the wing mount only is from the leading edge back to the spar. It can take it! Interesting Day in Simi Valley today watching John Erickson launching his new P II higher than his Encore. Just a few Photons left in the Feb. shipment.

[RCSE] David Peltz Passes
David Peltz, former SFVSFr and AMA District VP has passed away on Tuesday, November 4, 2003. David was very active in the Soaring Community from the early 70s to the late 80s. David flew in many Local, Regional and National meets and was usually toward the top of the results. An LSF Level IV, David set a National Record for Sailplane Altitude in the Early 80s. His signature was a Transparent Blue and Transparent Orange color scheme over excellent craftsmanship. David and Sam Brown created the first computerized scoring system for a major soaring competition in the US when they scored the Two Meter World Cup in 1981. In 1974, David entered this countries first X/C sailplane competition, partnered with Rick Pearson, flying a Mother Goose. David served as a Club Officer, Contest Director and generously donated his time as scorekeeper for the 1981 F3B World Championships as well as other major contests. He is solely responsible for the AMA recognizing National Records for model sailplanes. In His professional life, Dave was in at the beginning of the Computer Graphics revolution that effects virtually all of us. He was active in the business and wrote a column for one of the Mac Magazines in the late 80s, In the 90s, Dave shifted Carrier paths and became, at first, a Computer Consultant for the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department and subsequently, a reserve Sargent in the Sheriffs Department. David was a voluminous writer with a great wit and an incisive mind. If you opposed him on an issue, woes betide you. If he was your friend, he was as loyal as it gets, your best advocate, generous with time and money, and relentless. He can never be replaced and will be greatly missed. David is survived by his son Adam and his daughter Stephanie. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Trick RX's are on their way....Shortly.
There is new radio technology on the way and it's not gonna be cheap. I have seen a 16 channel programable system that contains a downlink back to your transmitter. In addition, the TX frequency shifts about 60 times per second to elimninate spurius signals. The prototypes are operating on a much higher frequency and a portion of the money needed to start production has been raised. Time will tell if this system becomes available.

[RCSE] 3-legged Dog: Was Re: models at IHLGF
I flew Watson A/s model today for about 10 minutes. I flew it for about 5 minutes Thursday before Poway. Bill and I set up our models completely differently on the Trans. side. We use the same CG's usually. Bill uses Exponental on Rudder and Elevator. I don't like this. That said, we had pretty good lift at Pierce today. Matt Gewain Noted that the A/s model goes up without rolling one way or the other. Bill says he uses about 8 Clicks more rudder trim on the A/s than on his other symetric models. After a while I removed 5 clicks and that seemed to remove the heavy left wing condition and the model still launches straight. The model weighs 10 oz. +- and the wing is offset to the left about 5 +-. The wing area is ballanced side to side. The MAC is the same on both sides. It seems to climb really well in smooth thermals when you turn into the long wing. In Roudy thermals you turn into the short wing. Basically, it climbs really well turning either direction; it does circle tighter into the short wing as you would expect. Bill considers this to be a light lift calm air model. He used the AG-16 profile. The one thing that seems to have suffered is L/D at high speed. This is not a model where you would want to start home from low down wind. For me, the visual ques you see when you are turning look wrong both directions. In Pitch, I kept thinking I was going to tip stall both directions but it didn't. I attribute this to Exponential. During high speed runs and dives I kept thinking the model would roll into the short wing, but it did not. I got it going straight down in a dive and there was no roll either direction. On Sat. before the contest started at Poway, Bill detirmined his still air time was 21 sec greater with the A/s wing than with his other models. If you consider a sink rate of 1.1 to 1.2 feet per second, than an addidional of 23 to 25 feet is needed. Watching bill throw a conventional model over our 60 (Measured) Euclyptus tree this morning, it is easy to see the additional altitude when he throws the A/s model. What would work for me with this model would be to have a seperate model setup on Bills transmitter so the setup suits me. The model flys beautifully although it is disconcerting to look at. I would kill for the extra 25' on launch. I can sure see this concept being developed into a Killer Aleron model, and launching even higher. JDK RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Pierce Arrow Paragon kits...?
The origional Paragon Kits were produced by Gene Walloch who was a production Engineer for Mac/Dac and a master craftsman. Walloch had tooling for all of the curved parts which were sanded to shape. As an old freeflighter, Gene's wood selection was superb. If any of the spruce in the old kits is warped, replace it with new wood. The Paragon was indeed designed for night flying and was very sucessful in the light and the dark. I redall that the First contest the Paragon ws entered in was at Night fly in Canoga Park in 76 or 77. I think Bill Watson and i both flew the same plane and took first and second. Not a bad beginning and still the Floater by which all others are measured. Slobod is still alive and kicking. He is currently prepairing for the Bent Wing 2 day at Visalia.

[RCSE] LSF 8 hours? Anyone flown longer?
I've timed several 8 hr LSF slope flights and 1 flight over 8 hours that was Thermals. Gary Itner did it about 20 years ago with his 16', 3 ch. XC sailplane. There have been longer slope flights but no one has done more than 8 hours in thermals in this country with the possible exception of Wurtz on his WR X/C flight. Long TD flights are no fun after a couple of hours. And they are certainly not easy. JDK RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Season's End
Seasons End Southern California Soaring Clubs (SC2) has been running a Series of HL competitions now for the Last 2 years. This year we had 8 scheduled comps in 7 different locations, plus IHL Festival at Poway. Those of us in the DLG Mafia also had 5 or 6 scheduled practices. We had our last comp on Sat. Nov 9 in interesting conditions at Paramount Ranch. The first 2 rounds were dry and the last 3 were flown in intermittent drizzle. Winds were calm. There was light lift all day. Nowel Siegal was first in Open class over John Erickson and Bill Watson. Our only entry in Sportsman, Greg Cueva had the top score and won overall. Just a couple of observations here: First, our Sportsmen/Open division has worked pretty well for the last two years. Larry Pettyjohn won Sportsmen overall last year and won for the first time in the open class in April of this year. Greg Cueva soloed in July of 2001, flew his first HL competition in the fall, flew all year this year as a Sportsmen, and had high score overall, winning the last contest of the season against a good field. Greg was a Dominant winner in the Overall Sportsman Class this year. Second: Polyhedral models won 7 of 8 contests. Flapped poly models won 6 of 8 contests. Aileron models were flown by many of the entrants, including Wurtz and Greening. John Erickson had a rather easy win over Wurtz in May at Poway and Wurtz returned the favor at Santa Clarita in October. In the last 3 SC2 HL comps Wurtz has entered, he is 1 for 3. Greening also flew at Santa Clarita and aside from Monster launches, he had a bad contest. For the year, John Erickson flew to a well-deserved overall victory, which included his win over Wurtz. For the second year, Bill Watson was a close Second. After a 10 year layoff, Mike Bame came out of retirement to take Third place for the season in the last heat, of the last round, of the last contest of the year. Conclusions: First, Having a Sportsmen class gives a place for newcomers to start in HL and compete with other flyers at there own skill level. It is also a place for old re-treads to get back into competition and re-develop their competition skills as well as learn the event. If you are fortunate enough to find a fine young competitor like Greg Cueva, take the time to nurture and teach him. Second, notwithstanding other opinions expressed on this forum, the facts show Flapped Poly models are fully competitive in all of the HL tasks I have ever seen. There are 4 or 5 excellent designs available and all have weak and strong points. Pick the model that best suits your style. I have been told that there is a lot of interest in my Photon Design which is currently out of production. If you would like to buy a Photon if they were available, E-mail me and let me know. If there is enough interest, I will look around for another vendor. Jerry Krainock [EMAIL PROTECTED] RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Aero Model Hilite HLG
For the record. Mr. B Yen is incorrect in his comments re the Photon. The Photon is currently $ 400 for a complete airframe, and $ 300 for an unfinished model. The wing is built in the old eastern block and is hi tech composite, similar to a Simply the Best or Graphite. I build the rest of the model. hopefully, I will have Pods, and tail groups within the next 2 months and at then point, I will offer ARF's at a reduced price. A limited number of Covered flapped wings are are currently available for $ 180. Covered unflapped wings are $ 165.

[RCSE] Stolen DLG
Attention West Coast HL flyers! The DLG shown in the photo in the upper left hand corner of my Web Page has been stolen. A Futaba 6 XA transmitter was taken at the same time. The wing is covered in Ora Cover with white main panels and red tips. The model has a Photon name on the upper left wing in blue letters outlined in red. My AMA number (45111) is on the upper right wing in matching color numbers. The stab mount is unique in that it fits over the boom and appears to be 2 posts sticking up from the boom: the stab is bolted on with 4-40 nylon bolts. This is the first model in the country with this stab mount as I just imported the mount 2 weeks ago. If this model shows up at your field, grap it and notify the authorities and me. A $100 reward will be paid for recovery of the model. Jerry Krainock http://www.netmeister.net/~jerry RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Tail Booms
I have tried to include the spread sheet I did on tail booms with this message, but I don't know if it is going to work. Maybe Chris Adams can forward it. I also use the G Force SUL boom on my models. I think Brian Buass is using the G Force Std for his. The Highest stiffness per weight for HL usage is the SUL but only by about 1 GM in weight. The Andrukov Al/Carbon/Al booms are, to all intents, rigid. You have to run the pushrods externally so as not to put a hole in the boom where it may break. I would use Andrukov's if I could afford them. The more rigid the boom, the less the need for a gyro, assuming you have sized the Vertical Stabilizer correctly. Unknown Document
