RE: [RCSE] Hello America! Stand By For News! DP is in the F3J World Fly Offs!
Woke up this morning to find that Theo, Mike and Gregg didn't make the flyoffs. I urge all Australians to applaud their efforts. Then I got REALLY happy, as the sun shone in my bedroom window (it was raining yesterday) .. DH is in the flyoffs. While it would have been super to have all our seniors in the fly offs, I think its especially neat to have our own twice W.C. David Hobby make it! Applause all around for all out pilots and team members, they earned every penny they had to spend getting there. (Sorry Gordy ... I had to do it. I tried, but just couldn't help myself :-) ) Congrats to DP and good luck to him. I hope David or Sven take it out though. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie - oi, oi, oi.

RE: [RCSE] is it just me...
Daryl. My very thoughts. I was just thinking of the dozens of posts that would have come, had Joe or Tom won. As it is, your junior team flew fantastically, as did the seniors. A real tough comp, when you look at the round by round scores. The pilots had to fly pretty well perfect rounds - round after round, after round. Davids last flight, where he had a mid air, and came in with a dislodged wing tip and other damage to nail the spot, must have been great to watch. There were some frantic calculations going on, to see if he needed to relaunch. In the end he secured the WC by around 40 points. A terrific effort, and one to be applauded and praised. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie - oi, oi, oi. :) As you say, the Canadians and the rest of the world were tough competition.

The great news for Australia is that both David Hobby in 7th, and Carl Strautins in 11th spot have qualified for the final fly off show-down, fantastic achievement!

RE: [RCSE] After the 2006 NATS - 2 Meter Comments
We have a great 2m series here in Australia. We have restrictions on 'full house' models and fly basic 2 channel models. The Blejzyk First is a very popular, super strong and efficient model used by about 70% of the competitors. Carl Strautins, who is currently in Martin, representing us at the WC's reckons that it is more difficult to fly one of these models well, than it is to fly in the open class. He still manages to win or get very high results in the 2m rounds. There has been a resurgence of interest in this class, down under, and it gives many pilots the option of competing in a class that is affordable to them. It is also a relatively level playing field in regards to model technology. The First however, can withstand 2 man tows or full winch tows, with impunity, and launches a good deal higher than, say, a Sagitta or similar, so there is an advantage for those who fly this model. Good to see that there are a bunch of people who are still pushing for that class to be maintained at your Nats.

RE: [RCSE] Didn't we send a team of guys somewhere this week?
Gordy. I have been following the comp, and supporting the Aussie team, naturally J Carl Strautins has had three 1000s and a 996.5, plus a compulsory dropped round and is in 8th place after 5 rounds. Cody Remington, your terrific junior competitor, has only had one 1000 and some high 999s and a 997 and is in 9th place. Some real close competition. In the first round, Carl got off the line in 2 seconds and got a 9.58 min flight and a 2m landing. He got the best flight time in Rd1, but losing that 5 points on landing, put him in a narrow 5th place in his heat. All I can say, is Aussie, Aussie, Aussie J (Joe W and the rest of the US team are doing quite well BTW) Klaus Weiss Sydney Australia http://www.hsl.org.au http://www.airsportsrc.com.au

David. I wouldn't have thought that the SD-7084 airfoil is slope oriented. It is used on a bunch of HLG and DLG gliders, as well as a number of TD models. When you look at your criteria, there isn't a lot available to you, and the Starling Pro would certainly be amongst the top of the list. It goes very well on the winch in TD contests and also shines on the slope.

[RCSE] RE: Heathcote Cup Tomorrow,
Gordy. Sorry mate, you didnt win. In fact you had some of the worst luck for some time. First round you got two pop offs with a best flight time of 29 seconds. Next round, you landed out and only got a 2 minute flight. Third round you lost a canopy on launch, for zero. You ended up stomping on your model. Came in dead last. Theres always next year. Carl won it yet again. To rub salt into the wounds, he flew the last round in typical Carl fashion. He launched, sat on the ground near a spot, put his Tx on the ground and flew the round out by using his toes on the sticks. Did loops and rolls and still won the heat. He did stand up and hit his spot landing by using his thumbs on the sticks. Fog rolled in to finish the comp early, but a good day all in all.

Not so Jim. We fly 2m comps here, and they tend to be every bit as popular as Open class. We often get more pilots at 2m comps than any other. Look at my website under Millennium Cup.

[RCSE] Gordy downunder.
Gordy has just finished flying this round of the Heathcote Cup Open Thermal comp. He has his contest requirements for LSF level 3, and is a happy camper. He flew very well, managing 3 x 1,000 pts (1st place in the round) and a 947 in another round. He was disappointed in the Aus T.D. rules, where it states if you lose part of your glider on launch, then it is a zero score for that round - he lost a canopy. ooops. Came in 7th overall and would have done much better if not for the zero score. He flew at Carl Strautins club field yesterday, and commented that he saw a deer 'pad' on the edge of the field. He then saw a couple of 'deer' laying down. They got up and turned into what he thought were people. They hopped away, and Gordy saw his first kangaroos in the wild. Good time had with him, as last year. He is a good guy and a friend to us down here.

Re: [RCSE] 2-meters suck....??? Sure they do, but they do look Cool??!?!? Well some do....
The annual 2m discussion time on RCSE. Lots of good TD pilots, just can't afford to buy the molded and composite gliders flown by the 'extra good' glider pilots. I know at least that is the case in Australia. We have a very successful 2m TD comp series here, which is well attended and a lot of fun. Tomorrow is the second round of seven comps through the year (yes we get to fly ALL year) and we expect around 25 - 30 pilots competing. That is very good, considering R.C. is tiny here, in comparison to the USA or Europe. Two weeks time we have the Heathcote Cup Open class TD comp. There is also a 2m class incorporated into the comp, and some of those pilots figure pretty strongly in the top results, beating a swag of molded gliders in the process. Gordy is going to try and get a trophy in this comp, and seeing he flies and practices almost daily, I will be surprised if he doesn't. Anyway, 2m is healthy in NSW, Australia.

[RCSE] Re. Walking to retrieve
Hey Gordy. thanks a lot!!! I just had my 35th birthday on Tuesday. I only look 85 yrs old, because of all the walking. Those calendars are only sold to geriatric homes. Any nude looks good to those folks.

Re: [RCSE] Number 11 blades
You guys are a hoot. How can there be s much debate about a cheap modelling item? Most people these days buy ARF or RTF models, anyhow. Obsidian flakes, ceramic blades, zirconia injector blades, razor blades #11 blades, snap off blades, whewww! I just rough cut my blasa HLG with a machete and use my wifes filleting knife and vegetable grater to get the final shape. Even here in Aus, where we pay double your cost for RC gear, modellers are not so tight that they want to get 12 months use out of a single #11 blade. If it gets dull, toss it and replace it with a new one. 100 blades for $15. Klaus Weiss Sydney, Australia www.hsl.org.au RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] WHIP COMPETITION SAILPLANE AND YOUR INPUT.
What's in a name?? Harley actually calls it the 'Whip l I personally know of three different Sagitta models, four Vector models, and I bet the list goes on. I wonder what would happen if he named the model after himself? The 'Harley'. Now that would raise a few eyebrows. regards Klaus K Weiss Sydney, Australia www.hsl.org.au - Original Message - From: Jim Stovall [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Harley Michaelis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 20, 2003 7:38 AM Subject: [RCSE] WHIP COMPETITION SAILPLANE AND YOUR INPUT.

Re: [RCSE] F3J Pulleys...
Chris. if you look at the HSL web page under the 'For Sale' section, you will see the hand tow pulleys we use. They would also be suitable for F3J, as the strap/rope could go through the handle, for 2 man tows.

I spoke to Arend about getting his pulleys, which were very good, but he no longer makes them. I also tried Tom at F3X, and he no longer carries them. Seems to me that there is a market there for someone out there to make these pulleys. If someone had a practical design so that we could make our own pulleys, that would work for me.

Re: [RCSE] CD SKEG PRE-NOTIFICATION
I have often commented, lightheartedly, on the use of skegs. We do not use skegs at all, in Australia. I have yet to see someone injured by a model sliding through the spot on landing. Admittedly, we use FAI landing spots, but even so!! If a model touches someone on landing, then it is zero landing points. Perhaps skegs have their place in the USA formats, but I think that there is a risk of pilots becoming so dependant on them for landing, that they forget how to land well. I haven't seen a U.S. TD contest. Perhaps there are models flying all over the place in the landing zone. Landing upwind, downwind, crosswind, vertically, inverted??? Don't know. Maybe skegs are necessary :) Maybe the landing zone is really the hazard zone. Klaus K Weiss Sydney, Australia www.hsl.org.au - Original Message - From: Harley Michaelis [EMAIL PROTECTED] I suspect some flyers would decline to attend if not allowed to use devices they consider necessary to prevent sliding through the landing area and causing injury or damage. I'd be one. Sure, it would be great if we could always slow down enough to hit the target and stay put without arrestors of some kind, but even the very experienced among us can expertly screw up landings, too. The only persons who are supposed to be in a given landing zone is a timer and a flyer. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Sunset Arrivals
I flew at a place near SF, when I visited a couple of years back. Got to know the ice plant. Rubbery, slippery and leaves stains on clothing that will not come out. :) Klaus K Weiss Sydney, Australia http://www.h.s.l.rcclubs.com Go north a bit to Davenport/Big Creek, not as crowded and a real easy place to land as they have tons of nice soft ice plant to land on.
