I guess I'll have to chime in on yet another thread started by
Gordy that has become way overdone. I'm not sure that I want to admit it,
but there is almost a kernel of truth to his disparagement of the dive
test. A good pilot will measure his aircrafts static margin via one of a
number of
For some reason, I'm having difficulty sending to RCSE now.

It has been a week since the annual Poway get-together. Thought I'd send my
views on the fun. This year showed the largest change in gliders and
performance, probably as much or more than the rest of the years combined.
Tip launch is here to stay.
As usual, the TPG club put on an excellent
To all that have requested the foamie airfoils.
I'm not releasing the coordinates for 12 months in deference
to Pat Bowman, as I designed the airfoil specifically for his toy.
Sorry about that. Ask me next October if you are still interested.

Chris,
I have a sporting proposal for you.
As you have in the past mentioned a fondness for certain types of
grain based beverages, I propose that we use such for the currency.

Joe,
could you please elaborate a little more on your optimization approach?
Oleg, great questions
Somewhere around the beginning of the year, I set out to do some
systems design, analysis, and optimization work on the F3J/B toys.
The first order of business was to do some airfoil analysis and
design. For familiarization and training, I decided to attack HLG.
I broke down the HLG design into
I'm finally slowing down, and staying in one place for a couple of days...
Did a quick scan of the legion of email on RCSE from the past couple of
weeks, and have some thoughts to pass on. First is on the mecca of
hand launch, the soiree at Poway last weekend. The second is on the

Sorry about the very delayed response on this one, I've been
away from my email for quite some time now.
The now old launch height thread kind of reminds me of the
early threads on DS. I remember the initial posts that I got in
response to my first DS posts. Most of which had comments

It was the way that I learned to fly, and I'm not gonna

I fly mode 2.

I have to agree with the case that Blaine brings up in the below.
The case in sEM did not include variations in the vertical
velocity, but considered only horizontal variations...
I apologize if I did not make my assumptions clear enough here.
The article discussed a shear layer that was
We have finally rebuffed the NoCal invasion, where Scott Hewett,
Dave Reese, and Craig Toutelman (sp?) took over Parker for the
last four days for many hours of DS, foamie flying, and general

On Sunday, some of us were wondering what was wrong, when
