The usual ritual for the windy sink conditions was to launch and head straight for the row of trees to the west and do some wave surfing. Also, The last Spring Fling I went to Bobby McGowan thermaled his image about 5 feet off the ground for the last 4 minutes of his sink cycle flight. The guy is just amazing to watch. I knew Bobby would flying with a vengeance after his last round mishap at the Fresno Classic(that's the one nobody wanted to let DP know about.:-)) See you guys at F3J TS or Visalia.

I am going to try and rip that thing from your cold, dying? hands. I'll bet your hands will be pretty darn alive everytime there is a buck on the line for the landing. Sure hope they have that bonus zone for when you really screw up ;^) I liked that one last time. See you there.

The Triad, for those who don't know, was awarded to the top scoring pilot through three Southwest based contests for the year - AZ (South West Classic), The RoseBowl 2 Day (Don't recall the name) and Visalia. With the death of PSS, the Triad got kinda lost. A few clubs tried to resurrect it, but it never really stuck. I carried the trophy around for awhile, but it was so ugly I never bothered to have my name put on it. (It's a prepetual trophy) I finally stuck it in the trailer in Visalia and ran ;-) But now... a new and improved Triad resurfaces The Spring Fling will make up the second leg this year. It's the type of title that means a lot to a true competitor. To have won a single contest is nice, but to have bested the top soaring pilots in the West over 25-30 flights over 6 days of flying, in varying conditions, varying landing tasks is pretty meaningful. It always meant a lot to me. It was a shame to see it die. If you scored well in AZ, better get your butt up to Sac-O-Potatoes June 25 and 26 and kick some butt. I've seen some ideas regarding the new trophy, and whichever way they go, it'll be a must have. I know I'll be working hard for it. So everybody come on up to the Spring Fling. Support SVSS. Support the Triad. Somebody's gotta win this thing. Might as well be you. But, of course, you'll have to pry it from my cold dying hands. ;-) D Yahoo! Mail Stay connected, organized, and protected.

[RCSE] Spring Fling/thanks SVSS
Just wanted to thank SVSS for putting on a great contest this year. If you didnt make it you missed a good one. Wind was NOT an issue, mild temps, great CD, good lift, just lots of fun. If you havent been to the SVSS field the past year, you would be surprised. They are irrigating now and there was plenty of grass, nice soft landing zones- what a difference a year makes!

Re: [RCSE] Spring Fling Map?
David, sorry the club web site is down. We're in the process of changing hosts and we got cut off by the former. Our field is pretty easy to find. It's located in the People's Republic of Davis, CA. We're 3.8 miles south of interstate 80 on Mace Blvd. Tremont Road intersects Mace Blvd. at the entrance to the field. Just look for our sign. Easiest way to get there is to take Interstate 80 through Davis and look for the Mace Blvd. exit then head south.

[RCSE] Spring Fling Thoughts
Hey guys . . . I've been flying the Spring Fling since the first year, and have ALWAYS had a great time . . . the conditions do really suck sometimes, but that just brings out the best in the pilots. If you're looking for dead calm conditions and endless thermals as a challenge for your 2-day contests . . . well, not much of a challenge there. Visalia offers perrenial downwinds . . . the Mid-south will give you forests and thunderstorms . . . and the Nats are, well, the Nats. When it comes down to it, these weekends are about having fun and hanging out with the guys (and, this year, the new wife!!). Quit grumbling and do what we do best . . . fly.

Re: [RCSE] Spring Fling...
Mike, Not all of the comments were about the wind. If a business has bad service and attitude, it will go under. Wonder why there are less clubs in what used to be the NCSL? Your CD hardnosed? You are hosting an event for your guest, not people attending OWE you for putting on the event. There are the few that will make or break an event such as this. I'm sure most members are great and hard working, but it is those few, good or bad, that those attending will remember. Ed Holt - Original Message - > I am a bit disappointed in the fellows who are bad mouthing a contest He may seem a bit hardnosed at times but he gets the job done. You can kill a contest with this kind of crap and you can kill a club Northern California Soaring League a few years ago we had seven clubs participating--only 4 of those clubs still exist > Mike Clancy, > LSF V 92, SVSS RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Spring Fling...
Mr. Clancy - You're opinion is well respected - hence the reason I asked if I was in left field! My point was simply that many are discouraged by the unfortunate turn of events at summer -er- Spring Fling. Once a great contest (and likely still) if it ever gets off the ground. I'd like to see a "Flung what ya Brung regardless of what the weather does" contest this year at the SVSS event. 'member, I'm a member of said club (unless I forgot to pay dues, in which case the check is in the mail, right after the IRS one) and like those fellows a great deal. My goal is to stir shit, right 'nuff, but as well to generate interest in what has otherwise become somewhat of a, well, blow out as I said. OK, so I'll be there, but only because I want a place for my 7 mo. old kid to go when ge grows up (which I plan to never do). Sincerely, One who wishes the March S3 contest had not been cancelled twice (by himself) due to weather conditions. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

The Spring Fling web pages got dumped from our server about a week ago. I was at THE cross country event in Montague and just found out about it today. The pages are relinked. Montague was fantastic!! If you've signed up for Spring Fling, you'll find you name, class and frequency posted on the SVSS web site (www.svss.org). FAQ's. Yes there is camping permitted at the field. Water is available. Sorry, no hookups. Club winches will be available for your use Thursday afternoon and all day Friday. Lot's of time for fun flying. Yes, we are still accepting entries and will continue to do so until Wednesday June 20. Only nine days left. Sold out frequencies are posted on the pilots page. Don't waste your time submitting an entry on a sold out frequency. Motel 6 (3 miles from the field) still has a few rooms available. Additional accommodations are not too far distant.
