[RCSE] SmAC '99! (long)

It's been two days since Temple Hill's SmAC Combat Contest and I can still feel the wind in my face and hear the cheers and cries of "Heads up!" The SmAC was a HUGE success. When I said it was going to be the "Biggest Damn Combat Contest of All Time," I was half joking. We were all surprised w

Re: [RCSE] winners fly against winners

hi guys!! it does seem kinda silly how things work with formating contest's. seems like no body is happy.. i like the randon man on man, that keeps eveyone flying against everyone. then the question is? when they normalize for class how come when you move up a class, you can't take your points?

Re: [RCSE] August Fracas report

Bruce I had a similar problem when I had to start wearing glasses. I took along my favourite Ray Ban pilots glasses and my optician matched them exactly (blue grey colour). I advice that you also get them UV protected as this will help avoid cataracts. Regards Dave In message <[EMAIL PROTECTE

[RCSE] stupid mistakes

The other day I was flying with two flying buddies. the day was pretty nice, thermals popping all around, getting 5-10 min flights mostly with my Lil Bird 2m. finally I launched and the model veered slowly to the right, correction did not help, and within seconds it was heading straight down!
