[RCSE] Need Timer For Visalia
I don't have a timer for Visalia this year. Does anyone need a timer? We can time for each other and if we hurry we can get our names to CVRC so they can separate us in the lineup.

[RCSE] New USA F3J team
Thanks Daryl for your comments. Sounds like your very happy with the Insanity. Supra must be pretty good too. Could someone tell us more about the Juniors - where they're from, their ages, what other stuff they've done etc. Thanks, Terry Mickle Southern Oregon Soaring Society RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Sopranos are in-Now gone
Jim: What was it that impressed you when you saw it fly at the Nats?

[RCSE] Need Hi-Load 60 Source
I am in Oregon and can't find Hi-Load 60 locally - I can't even find anyone that will order it for me. Recently someone with the email address of [EMAIL PROTECTED], posted a message on RCSE relating a source of Hi-Load 60. The source was [EMAIL PROTECTED] I sent an email enquiry to this source but it bounced. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I might get Hi-Load 60 at a reasonable price?

[RCSE] Sorry About All The Hoopla
I'm sorry to see all the fuss in response to my question about the JR 9303 Radio. As I said I was just curious. I knew there was a fly-off for something or other but I wasn't really paying attention. I don't want anyone to think I was complaining or that I felt I deserved anything. I'm happy someone won the radio and I would 100% rather it be by merit that just blind luck - the person that won the flyoff really won much more that a radio don't you think? I don't need a radio. I have a nice radio and a backup. I think CVRC made a great choice to have a flyoff. I flew in a flyoff once and it was great fun - since I happen to win it was even greater fun. I didn't win anything but I flew very well and that's why it meant something to me. To be honest I don't get much satisfaction out of winning if I don't perform well. Aren't the most memorable times those that we did something special, even if we don't win? Winning and performing well is the absolute best of course. I would hope that we would be more understanding and not complain about these things so much. We all know how good the Fall Festival is and we know that they try very hard to make it a great contest and I think they succeed very well. Sure they have some hiccups now and then but just look at all they get right. I have been going to the Fall Festival for 8 years and for me this was the best one ever. I got to stay under a nice shade (thank you Craig) with some nice people , I got to talk to people about sailplanes and flying, I met some new people and generally just had a great time. Oh yah, one of my flaps quit working before my flight so I had to turn my flaps off. My plane launched almost as good as with flaps, I made my time, and a did a pretty good landing, maybe a little conservative but on the grass. I was suprised how I was more focused on the planes energy than when I use flaps (after all I didn't want to kill anyone and certainly did not want to land off field!) and I could see that even when you use flaps you should really look at your energy more. Now... Darwin, would you please tell us about your flight with the broken wing! I heard the story from you but there were a lot of people watching that flight (and cheering you on) and I'm sure they would like to hear what happened!

[RCSE] What Happened to JR 9303 Radio?
There was a posting before Visalia that there would be a JR 9303 given to the pilot finishing in 100th place. What ever happened with that? Since I finished in 100th place I'm just curios.

[RCSE] Thank You CVRC
Thanks to all of you at CVRC for putting on another great contest. You do such a great job every year and I hope that you realize how much we all appreciate your efforts. The contest is so well run that it is truly a pleasure to participate. I don't think a contest can get much better than the Visalia Fall Festival, and that is due to a tremendous amount of effort and hard work on your part.

[RCSE] 2003 Montague X/C Challenge Results
This year's Montague X/C Challenge was held on June 14th and 15th at the Siskiyou County Airport, a full scale glider airport near Montague California. We had 15 teams show up and perfect weather. This was my first year to actually fly in this event and it was a big thrill for me. For those of you have never tried this, you are really missing out. Granted there are some difficulties getting started but it is well worth the effort. It's hard to describe what it's like to be sitting in the back of a truck with the plane speeding across the sky at high altitude and your navigator telling the driver to speed up because the plane is outrunning you. And then getting down to telephone pole height thinking you are going to have to land out but then finding a thermal and off you go again. Ron McElliott told me he once got so low his wing actually touched the tall grass but a dust devil came along and he was able to get back up and spec out again. When we asked the winning pilots to relate their flights, they all had some exiting moments during their flight to tell about. I'm telling you, this stuff is FUN. As in the past the first day's event is a distance task. There are marked turnpoints and you may choose which turnpoint to go to from the turnpoint you are at, as long as you don't go between two turnpoints repeatedly. (You may go from A to B and then from B to A but you cannot then go back to B). The second day's task is a speed task. You go as far as you can in a 2 hour time period using the same turnpoints as above. Your speed is then the distance you travelled divided by 2 hours. If you were not in the air for 2 hours your speed is still calculated by dividing by the 2 hours. If you go over 2 hours, your distance is divided by your time. This means you have to go much faster to increase your calculated speed if you go over 2 hours. Look at the Rich Spicer and Mike Gervais results for Sunday. Mike Gervais's team went .2 miles farther but it took them 4 minutes more and moved them into 3 place. The maximum time you are allowed is 3 hours.

[RCSE] Visalia Planes
I collected (or at least tried to) the list of planes being flown at Visalia. I've been busy since I got back but will try to make some time this weekend to type it all up.
