[NSRCA-discussion] A really big thank you to everyone who made the Weak Signals Precision Aerobtics contest a success

Send your head to Clarence Lee instead.  For about $17.50, he will 
install an insert, and your glow plug hole will be better than new.  He 
also fixes exhaust threads.  I've used him several times with complete 
satisfaction.  He advertises in the Classified ad section of Model 
Aviation.

DO NOT change the plug when the engine is warm!  I’ll be sending
my stripped head back to Richard and buying a replacement.  $200 
mistake I’m
sure…

Adequate cooling in the key.  I fly in what can only be described
as BRUT
AL conditions on an engine here in south Texas.  We are at 45
consecutive days over 100 degrees and that doesn’t include the days 
prior to
that which were over 100.  It has been at least in the upper 90’s since
early May here near San Antonio.  I have never had a problem with the
engine over heating.  I chased some other issues on the CDI, but never 
had
an overheating issue previously, but I have tons of airflow in and out 
of the
chin on my Black Magic. 

Also, as soon as anything changes on the DZ’s…change the
plug.  They are very reliable engines when set up correctly. 

I don’t think jumping to E-power fixes all the issues…ask Ken
Thompson…

About those YS flame outs...I was really concerned for my
  170 as it have never been operated in that kind of temperature
  but it ran very well.=C
2I run the HS needle at 2 turns out while turning
  18.1X11...I think others are running smaller loads with the needle in
  much more. I was 2.25 with 18.1X10 and 2.5 with 17X12.

Also, I didnt look under Mikes plane, but you need a
  really big exit hole for adequate cooling.

Colin.

It was a very talented field in advanced. Other than a
   very frustrating flame out during what was shaping up to be a very 
solid
  round I was pretty happy with how I flew. I learned some very valuable
  lessons about exactly where to stand and how not lining your body up
   correctly can push every maneuver off center (thank you judges (you 
know who
   you are)). Those are the kinds of lessons you only get at a contest. 
I am
   more satisfied with a fourth place finish 
having flown well against 
strong
  competition than I would have been finishing first or second against a
  "lesser" field having flown poorly. All I have wanted my entire
  pattern career was to be competitive and I am getting there.

 I felt horrible for Mike Murphy, he was flying the
   heck out of his new Integral and threatening to take home the gold 
until he
   inexplicably went into YS purgatory. Didn't change any settings but 
all of a
   sudden couldn't keep the engine running. Two flame outs later and he 
went
   from battling for first to suicide watch. He was just about ready to 
write a
  check on the spot for an E-power set up. 

Colin's son was flying very well. To not have flown the US
   advanced sequence much and to come with a small plane in gale force 
winds and
   do so well is impressive. If he sticks with it I will be waving at 
him as he
  leapfrogs me on his way to masters.

That's enough rambling for now, I gotta go finish the
  Hacker install in my new Integral!

See you in Quincy

Anthony

Anthony even though you finished fourth. That was still
     really really good. It was probably the best field of Advanced 
Pilots that
     will be seen at a local contest. Of course it could be said that 
the Top
    Three were also at the Nats this year.

I did'nt look at the scores but was really surprised
     with Colin's son, Sorry can't remember his name. He flew that Spot 
on 50
     with a OS50SX and probably scored really well. Sometimes makes you 
wonder
     why we fly the big planes. Maybe compensating for something not 
sure what
    though.

See you in Quincy

It was a great time even in the challenging conditions.

Dennis,

I'm sorry you didn't feel well, it was obvious that you
    weren't yourself. I hope you feel better soon so we can get back to
    verbally abusing each other.

Thanks to Tim, Bob, and everyone else that helped put on
    the contest.

Oh yeah, I would also like to thank Brenner for
     completely disassembling his Integral to show me how he did his 
Hacker
    mount, and Chris Moon, Scott Pavlock <sp>, and Mark "the human
     Airtronics manual" Atwood for helping me finally resolve the 
throttle
    curve issues on my Axi powered Black Magic. And thanks to Andrew for
    reminding me how much better he is with my airplane than I will ever
    be. 

Gosh, with as many people as I thanked you would think I
    would have won something.

I hope to see you all again soon.

I just returned home from the Weak Signals Club
      contest. Talk about contest conditions. Steady rain Saturday until
       3:30PM, but fortunately once the rain did stop the wind blew 
about 25mph
       straight across the runway to dry everything off. Today there was 
no
       rain, but stiff winds all day long and temperatures in the low 
90's for
       the first time this season in Michigan made for some challenging 
conditions.

       We did manage to get 2 
rounds in Saturday afternoon and two more 
rounds
      today. Results:

      Sportsman:

      Bruce Herider (No flights)

       Thank you very much for those contestants who came out and braved 
the
      weather.  Thanks also to my co-CD Tim Je
sky, his lovely wife Linda
       (for the food, scoring, and Friday hospitality), Heather Kaluf, 
Cindy
       Darr, Monique Losardo, Margetta Abdullah and anyone else I might 
have
      missed who helped out with the food and scoring.

      Hope to see you again next year.
