Re: [RCSE] Muncie
Thanks for all the replys, BUT, It appears that NO one read my message. I will be arriving in Muncie day after tomorrow (Our NATs don't start till August!)and I would like to fly WITH the club at THEIR site. So if any of the MIST club (I think that is their name) members are out there, I would like a way to contact them.

This is the first time I've seen the day before soaring, not used by pattern. I would think that with permission and proper frequencies, anyone could fly.

Re: [RCSE] Muncie
Actually, this year they might allow it with 2.4 , but haven't in the past. "Muncie site will be closed to RC flying beginning July 6th through August 10th.

If you are on 2.4 maybe, but that is the pattern finals day at the Nats.
Muncie guys might have somewhere else to go.

OK. so I told my wife about the 909 Grille and Vera Mae's eating spots in Muncie. A quick look at their menus on the Internet and my wife says, "let's go down there." So, tomorrow I'll show her the AMA site & museum, take a look at electric competition, and let her sample Muncie's best eateries and see where I've been "Summer camping" all these years. I may even plant a bug in the electric guys' ears about a day of F5J on their first day next year. I'll file a report on what I saw in electrics upon our return.

[RCSE] "Muncie was tough today!"
We started the day with light winds cold temps and light rain. I battled out the first rounds with Rich Burnowski who was born and bred in the briar patch of wind and cold. He flew his new Fazer for the first time and it really suits his style and the conditions. Launches were key. But Steve Siebenaler was the true hero of the day. He took his Pike Superior way out over the Museum in real balls move, found a gopher fart to work and buried a bunch of hot thumbs for a crush and comeback run to second place. Easily one of the midwests best thumbs. He has made tremendous improvements in his contest soaring skills since I let him sign off my LSF2 paperwork. Marc Gellart just didn't have his head into it today, but look out tomorrow! Paul Siegel was hot but got buried by one of my Visalia flights and that threw off his focus. There wasn't any rockets, foamie night combat flights or races, no spud guns or all up last down DHLG battles, but there was tough man on man grit. Making a notable comeback from some really embarrassing flying this season was Karl Miller who made a huge run from back in the ranks to third place! Way to go Karl! Pilots meeting is at 7:30 again tomorrow, weather is likely to be light winds, 85 degrees and blue skies again...er sorry thats here in Visalia :-) Gordy

I have pictures, just give me some time... 8-) The model I saw was a prototype, so it probably will change... It's size and proportions, it had a very long tail moment, I think Daryl said something about shortening the fuse a bit so it would fit in his car. Large wingspan, typical full flying stab and cruciform tail, and I like what I saw in the air. Great hang, great range, easy to see at distance. Appeared very stable in flight, and tracked well to the landing circle. Launches were big, but Daryl always launches big... It displayed a wide speed range, large models at times appear so slow in flight. I watched Daryl make a low height save with it in one round, it will wrap quite tightly for such a big model. It was a real Muncie model... suited to the large wide open flying site we have at the AMA headquarters.

[RCSE] Muncie site
I'd like to add my .02 worth to the fray. In 2000, we visited the AMA HQ at Muncie. It was 5 July. The fields were absolutely the most beautiful flying sites and terrific facilitiesI have ever seen. AMA did well to secure this site for all modelers, both present and future. This being said, Muncie has several drawbacks, namely heat and humidity. I know there are common detractions in many parts of the country. I believe that until the AMA or some other large group can locate and secure multiple flying sites, perhaps a day's drive from one another within the continental USA, that the thrust should be to have regional soaring Nats contests at some of the great flying fields currently available. Regional members of the LSF could officiate and supervise these contests, and rotating them around the country wouldn't put a great burden on any one group. perhaps, having somewhat similar events at one location and others at another at a different time, might work. This is just a thought, don't mean to step on anybody's toes, apologies if I have offended anyone. Dave Darling RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Muncie Reposted
Yes, the air is "challenging." Hence, my post. But whatever you do, don't think that Cali is a launch and a speck every through. We can all romanticize the great conditions, but when the air is hot, the cycles get really spread apart and the wind is both strong and shifty (as in tublunet, not necessarily indicating up/down air) you'll indeed remember that the grass is not necessarily greener. You guys back there enjoy one end of the spectrum and we enjoy the other. Both will have equally hard times on eachothers' turf. I won't show up in Muncie without an ultrafloater, and when y'all come to Poway, you'd better have something that has legs in the wind. Yes, we may seem to take things for granted sometimes, like flying against the top half dozen HLG pilots in the world whenever we want, being able to work "light" lift with a 9.5oz bird and having a half dozen flight centers within an hour's drive. But we do appreciate these things as blessings, and soak up the knowledge and experience while we can. - Original Message - From: "Gregory Morris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "RCSE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, July 28, 2000 4:35 PM Subject: [RCSE] Muncie Reposted > You guys from California don't know how good you have it.
