Re: [RCSE] Johnny and Butch
Guys, I've made a suggestion that we consider putting tugs on freq's that end in 0, or are divisible by ten for you engineers. Then we keep the gliders off those channels. Makes it a bit easier to deal with the bigger events. Really sucks when a tug is conflicted by the glider guy. Alternatively, buy a synthesized setup... and keep the tugs on a channel divisible by 10! If you don't like that idea, please come up with another that establishes some generally acceptable tug channels that will be easy to explain and fair to all, not whatever your tug happens to be on...

RE: [RCSE] Johnny and Butch
Lee, For the past Nat's and all the years of the JR AeroTow we've put the Tugs on 59 and 60. We've had no problems getting planes up in the air with 2 tugs operating constantly. For other events I guess it's up to the organizer. Hope everyone makes it out to Monticello, Il for this years JR AeroTow, May 31st through April 4th.

Re: [RCSE] Johnny and Butch
Lee, We have used this system for as long as I have been towing. It works for us. If we stay with this then everone will know what the tug freqs are and there will be no problems. And ( in my opion) we dont need more than 2 freqs for the tugs.

Re: [RCSE] Johnny and Butch
Lee- I like that idea. I currently tow on 22, but I'd gladly switch to 20 if that made everyone's life easier. I think it's a good idea. -Ben Lee Estingoy wrote: Guys, I've made a suggestion that we consider putting tugs on freq's that end in 0, or are divisible by ten for you engineers.

Re: [RCSE] Johnny and Butch
Dammit, you don't even tell us what the "system" is that you guys are using for years. It's the same old in-bred good o'd system that keeps things static and ever so slightly dysfunctional in this end of the hobby. Think big picture or outside the box or long term. Just because you guys in the Ohio Valley have a system, doesn't mean that the guys who may be, heaven forbid, from outside that area even know what it is. If there is a national type of rule, like I proposed or something similar, then everybody from anywhere in the US will be able to be compliant without having to know the secret handshake. Yes, you do need more than 2 tugs at major events. Just my 2 cents.

[RCSE] Johnny and Butch: now aerotow frequencies
Easy, here's what's up. Check on the AMA, LSF pdf that outlines the Nationals and the frequency use for that day. Since F3B is flown at the same time, frequencies were divided between F3B, Scale Aero-tow and winch launched XC. Frequencies had to be allocated to get all these events running at the same time. My memory of last year's JR Aerotow and the smaller Woodcrafters aerotow indicates that two tugs working at the same time did just fine; particularly with Johnny's tows! Perhaps you've run more than two tugs at the KC aero tow, I've not been there. I'll check to see if it's possible to have more than one entrant on the two tug frequencies, I believe it is.I hope you're able to make the NATS and bring that beautiful Zefir4, one of the finest scratch-built scale projects I've seen (via the KC website; www.kcse.us)In any event, frequency allocations are in place for this year. They weren't randomly cooked up by "guys in the Ohio Valley", but are the result of considered decision making by the LSF contest board. If you have suggestions for improvement in the future, let LSF board members know for the '07 NATS.I hope this helps to ease your concerns.Barry AndersenRegistrar 06 NATS
