Ryan,
Get used to it Ryan. Just fly your Toys and enjoy. If you don't have two
or three $2000 molded ARF you are not part of soaring. The AMA is finally
recognizing the fact that electrics are coming on strong and that they may
cut them selves off if they don't get on the bandwagon. It will take
I have a question. Do two apposing magnets generate twice the force or
should you use a small low weight steal attraction plate.

FYI:
Jared of Austin, TX posted this link in a RCGROUPS thread that I follow. I
found it quite interesting. It is a paper on formation flying and on page 19
talks about elliptical formations reducing drag. It takes about 4 minutes to
load at 28kb because it is a 26 page PDF
I used laminating film on a small foam plane and on my 2M 2x6. It has worked
fine for me. See this link for a comment from Dean at Stealhead it is at
post # 395. If you look at post # 244 it will see the other info on it.
Below is some info from the #244 post.
This is the link.
Sorry, forgot the link.

Dana,
It is refreshing to see that some people know what to do with extra time at
the NATS (I ran the turnarounds for years). I can't remember having seen
most of the people complaining about the contests helping with anything,
other than criticism. I'm sure Mark G. could attest to that. I have
Ray, I'm in also. I can't envision how much I could learn from a bunch of
guys that can work the smallest thermals and enjoy the fun that can be had
in a friendly exchange of HLG knowledge. I have one of your mini Hi-Starts
to add to the mix.

Just to make you all re-think some of the FedEx vs. UPS questions. I just
went to the door and the UPS man in his brown shorts and shirt was walking
back to his big brown truck. The package he left was a FedEx package I had
ordered Friday. UPS is delivering home delivery items for FedEx in my

Actually, more likely is it will just slow down the contest, replacing
the weak links. As I said, it's not the line that's the problem, it's
the motor and drum diameter.

The only way to avoid line breaks from the normal wear and tear on the line
across the field is to go to the 280-300 lb line.
Michael,
You can still use the heavy lines if you adopt a standard week link
extension that would go between the parachute and the plane. That way
everyone has the same
Jerry, one other thing about Don, he is the kind of guy that likes it to
challenge himself and improve his flying. I saw him at the Dam doing his
8-hours. If I'm not mistaken he was flying a modified gentle lady and was
not using a lift sensor. I think Mike Remus also used a 2M ship for his
8-hour
And all the good air calling you
can make goes down the toilet while you are in line or waiting on a line fix
or mechanical issues.
Marc, I spend 6 hours waiting to fly MOM at a contest and just one hour
flying. How much good air do you think I miss in that time?
Even the Nats, where you
cannot
Thanks everyone for the kind words!
Well its been quite a mixed emotional weekend. I've just returned from
helping a friend evacuate his home from the fires that are raging here in
San Diego county! Some how after the fact it just doesn't feel as good
getting excited about the Santa Ana winds

Hey all, I just finished an F4U Corsair from Aerofoam. I took it out last

about 20 mph. The Corsair flew well and I had a ball with it.
With the help of my neighbor who is a professional painter, I am finishing
