All,

Since LJ brought it up please mark your calendar for Sept 18-21, 2008 for 
the 2nd World Soaring Masters. It is on the official IAC calendar.

http://www.modelaircraft.org/events/nats/Calendar/wc092008.htm
Setup/practice day is the 18th and the MOM starts on Friday morning. Sunday 
morning wraps up the MOM with the fly-offs for the cash beginning around 
lunch time.


We are still in the early planning stages for the '08 event, but in addition 
to the top spot payouts Horizon Hobby will be offering a mid-pack fly-off 
for Big $'s (amount TBD).


So get ready because this will be bigger then the '06 event.

DVDe's,
JD

JoJo,
My friend, you know We always look forward to flying with you. But, before 
you commit for the Nationals, Why not consider waiting until September for 
the Masters Tournament. Then if you have time to take the long way home, 
come hang out at my place in Southern California. Merry Christmas to you and 
Fred, Hilsen Larry

Wow stop the press. What way is Norway again? West-downunder or ontop? If I
go straight line it might happen in 8 hours I think...
This year the schedule is perfect for me since it is not at WC time...
And finally I am on the same frequencies

Again this Nat's thing is being held in the MID-WEST!!! Gosh Dernnit
I ain't gonna fly it until it's on the west coast. You know some of the
best flyers are on the west coast so it really isn't a true National
Championship unless it's on the west coast.

Wait.. I live 3 hrs from the Nat's...

What a three days of flying this was, if you blew it off and did not come 
out you missed the toughest contest I have ever seen.  Conditions ranged 
from just plain ugly, to beautiful, to some mix in between.  As the good 
press agent Ben Wilson has portrayed, just being there to watch the finals 
was something.  Yep, George, there was at least 6.5 minutes between Mike 
and Arrend in the six finals rounds, maybe more, that was probably one 
flight.  the first two rounds were fairly close, but from there on the 
carnage started.  This part of the contest was old home week for OVSS guys 
and it can be a spectator sport when you have the caliber of folks out 
there that we had in the finals.  I was an official timer in the finals so 
got to watch it close and personnal.


We owe a debt of thanks to Peter Goldsmith of JR Radio for having the 
inspiration and guys like Jim mcCarthy, Tom Kallevang, Lee Esenjoy, Barry 
Kennedy, Paul Naton (ask someone that was there about DVD's, they have an 
entire new meaning now), Joe Dirr the cook,  Marna and Larry Jefferies, 
Robin and Ruth Meeks, Don Smith, the folks of RCSD, Horizon Hobby, Harry 
DeBoar, Carolyn Goldsmith, Jodi of Team JR, and others I forgot.


Personnally, I had a good contest, but had a major brain fart at the start 
and had a 0 round to start (all I will say is do not have dyslexia with a 
dial up module, nuff said, and do not have a Futaba guy check it), from 
there I was average but got better as things went on and three 1000 rounds 
and a couple of near ones.  Best flight of the whole thing was trying to 
out do a Supra, Mike Reagan's, at about 100' vs 150' respectivley working 
multiple impulses with a ballasted Tragi 705.  Made it for a while but no 
matter how much I worked I could not make up the difference.  Finally had 
to call it quits and come in to a 76/80 landing and watch him for another 
2 1/2 minutes.  Bill Malvey told me that thumping sound was Reagan 
grinding me into the ground, but I held my own for second in the group. 
Finshed 28th and started in 70th after the first round.


I had a blast, first cigar in 27 years, found out Red Bull Margaritas are 
really good, even ate Sushi one night, a first.  Met lots of guys I had 
corresponded with over the years but never had a face, Joe Nave, Lex 
Mirope, Randy McCleave, Gene Trevino, and got to see many friends I had 
not seen for a while, Mark Smith, Rusty, Bill Malvey (the futaba guy), 
John Erickson, Mike Lee, David Hobby, et. al.  Had a great time and will 
be ready again when times come for the next!

Actually he needs to know the exact start date and time so he can plan 
what time to show up at the field so he can get a quick fast charge on 
the plane before the first launch. The plane has very likely NOT  been 
charged since he shut it off after the last landing at the PREVIOUS contest.


Practice?? Oh that's rich!

Let's remember one thing, pilot flys the plane to the winner circles, 
wood or not. All others will go to the whiner's circle. You can have 
the best plane in the world and still can't beat the lucky pilot who 
found the lift and can land in a spot that you can't fit a quarter in.


Let have fun and not too worry about what you fly.

I find that it helps to look at the system.

To do a TD task you have a pilot, plane, caller/timer, preparation,
maintenance, conditions and luck.
The better the first things are the less important is the last.

OK Jim from Valpo..

A couple of things:  Your only wrong in one of your statements...

do NASCAR fans become race drivers... and you said NO,
Big Time Wrong Gong on that one...they become race car drivers on the
city streets.

Especially the young ones on the cell phone putting her make up on in the
review mirror during 8:56 am drive time.

The other thing... the rules of this event are:

LSF Aspirants are eligible.  In my opinion that leads to a reason for a
woody class, where as in the previous years Masters, I believe only Level 3
or 4 qualified.

My big hope here is some new, strong scratch woody designs show up that have
legs and can launch hard.  But that challenge has always been available at
the NATS, so I'm not holding my breath for too many of them to show up,
maybe one or two or three that I know of.

Without a woody class and without NOS at AMA NATS.  do you know
where the most woody fun will be in 2006 ?

Stay cool...

 First, kudos to JR and the LSF for getting an idea rolling whose time
 has definitely come.  The rules look like a true soaring contest and
 conditions at Muncie will keep it from being a landing contest.  A
 combination of the group that puts on the NATS and the group that puts on
a
 really classy aerotow event should result in a winner.  A premier event at
a
 premier site, when Indiana weather is at its best - who could ask for
 anything more?  Now, about the mild hue  cry regarding woodies at this
 competition.  As primarily a woody flier myself, my first thought was that
 I'd volunteer to help and not take a spot from a more qualified or
deserving
 pilot.  Then the discussion ensued here on RCSE and I started thinking.
 As I understand it, the objective of this event is to promote and
 display R/C soaring with a premier competition.  OK, so does premier
 competition mean the best flyers competing with the most competitive
 sailplanes available to them?  If so, then why not pare down the number of
 entries to a smaller number and fly more rounds?  But, if the promote and
 display part of the objective is taken seriously, then a large variety of
 sailplanes should indeed be a part.   Right now there are a variety of
 somewhat prestigious events in the other venues of model aviation that do
 indeed draw a lot of spectators.  I'm not sure that a large number of
 spectators always assures a large number of newcomers drawn to the hobby.
 Do a significant number of NASCAR fans become race drivers?  Only in their
 dreams or video games.
 So, my thought is that the nature of the event is definitely in the
 hands of the organizers.  I'm sure that they monitor and thoughtfully
 consider thoughtful comments made in this forum.  Therefore let us
continue
 to reason together without rancor or sarcasm and not let this discussion
run
 down ratholes like builders vs.  non-builders, floaters vs. lawn darts,
and
 lengthy diatribes about whether or not the highest placing woody should
 qualify as an LSF win.
 Looking forward to a great 2006 flying season and a new primo event,

I think that is the right attitude.  I've had Ray beat me in MoM rounds 
with a woody against my ICON before.  And he will certainly let you know it 
too, and hey, that's cool.  ;-)


And guys that want to fly their 2m's and RES models feel free to do so, 
there is no restrictions on that as well.  I remember a certain OVSS 
contest in 2005 where Flyin' Brian won a contest with an Ava RES 
model.  Not just by a little, but by a butt spankin' bunch of points.


This is a fly what you bring contest, and you can use a couple of models.

It really should be a blast!

My big hope here is some new, strong scratch woody designs show up that have

Oh and foam of all the above...
We should also fly in each age group... I'm pretty
sure I could take the born between May 20 and May 22,
1961 class (when did I get so freaking old???)

But the class we're all really hoping for in creating
all these classes is the... drum roll please


There's no way I can beat Joe Wurts so what the heck
is he NOT going to fly Class

Oh, and John, can you make sure there is at least 5K
per class in this for 1st place, so we can all afford
to go??? If we have enough classes, I think we can all
get wood...

Sorry guys... this is killing me...

Happy New Year to all! And I remember a time when we
all came to a contest and flew whatever we wanted cuz
it was fun... Had my ass handed to me plenty of times
by built up POS's.

Tongue in Cheek - have fun guys,

D

Damn Daryl, are you that bored on New Years Eve that you had time to write
this all down?  I do not feel that bad, at least I was somewhere warm for
the week.

Happy new Years to all, '06 is looking really good!
