I will call Hacker tomorrow and I am sure they will say send it in. The input wire could be an issue. I always noticed that if the wires were bent wrong it would cause friction to keep the motor from easily spinning. I guess I will just have to fly the Pinnacle for a while, or switch that motor to my Beryll. Does the reg Hacker swap for the comp model or are spacings different? Earl Haury wrote: Stuart As this is a change from the norm, it's apparent that something has changed with the motor. Higher temp is usually associated with higher load (more watts) which doesn't appear to be the case. A clue might be in the missing fan disc, I doubt that the change in fan efficiency is at fault due to the rapid temp rise. But, you might check the windings for damage from debris, as clearances are close between the rotor and the windings. You mention that the rotor doesn't have separated magnets. I assume that this rotor has the Kevlar thread outer winding. There's usually a pencil line drawn on the covering for the length of the rotor - ensure that the line is straight. If some magnet discs "slip" they may not develop a gap, but the pencil line will be discontinuous. (Although usually slipped disc symptoms are higher amps as well as temp.) Another possibility is a partially broken motor input wire, the high resistance in one "phase" will imbalance the load on the windings and quickly generate more heat. (I've found it worthwhile to tie the motor wires together to minimize flexing.)

I was hoping it just needed some grease. Pulled it apart tonight and grease was still present (black as usual. Regreasing time was near.) Cleaned it up and pulled the front housing off. First thing I noticed was that the bottom portion of the fan (the phenolic disk) was missing. Some dust in the motor so I think it just got chewed up spit out or part of it ground to dust. Pulled the rotor and the magnet looks fine. I had a standard model where the magnet split part way down and was pulling higher amps. Bearings fit the shaft freely, no play but slid on easily and seemed smooth. Put it back together regreased. Ran it up with a 21 x 13W APC pulled 67 amps 2300 watts at WOT but after a minute or so of 3 15 to 20 second full throttle bursts the motor was hot again. Too hot to hold your hand around it. Any ideas?

Got them back and one still ran hot. I disassembled and the interior lining had a small wrinkle in it that impeded air flow--I sanded and re-sealed it--and need to test it. Hacker suggested it had gotten very hot along the way to cause the wrinkle and probably lost some magnetism. Even after three or four flights in relatively close succession, the other motor only got into the high 120s--this one got to almost 160. I'll try it, but I think a new rotor is in it's future..,.BTW, they say if it got high enough to de-mag, then the bearings ought to be replaced also... Now for the cause of over-heating: The configuration of these motors is a little weird--you would think they would do a front to back air flow as you would normally have positive pressure toward the front of the motor--but the fan integrated into the gearbox pulls air through the motor from the back where you would hope there would be negative pressure. So it would probably help to duct air to the rear. But it doesn't seem to matter if the motor is OK as it stays reasonably cool with fairly 'normal' ducting. So I suppose flying with weaker batteries, lots of partial throttle under load, immediate successive flights, too much prop, wide open all the time, etc. could contribute to longevity/heating/ demagging issues. I didn't used to pay that much attention to motor temps as my original C50XL14s seemed to run fairly cool--but then I went out for some quick flights for practice--hot, humid and flights in close succession and killed 'em both within a week--I was out of business....

Ran it up with a 21 x 13W APC pulled 67 amps 2300 watts at WOT but after a minute or so of 3 15 to 20 second full throttle bursts the motor was hot again. Too hot to hold your hand around it. Any ideas?

The configuration of these motors is a little weird--you would think they would do a front to back air flow as you would normally have positive pressure toward the front of the motor--but the fan integrated into the gearbox pulls air through the motor from the back where you would hope there would be negative pressure.? So it would probably help to duct air to the rear.? But it doesn't seem to matter if the motor is OK as it stays reasonably cool with fairly 'normal' ducting.? So I suppose flying with weaker batteries, lots of partial throttle under load, immediate successive flights, too much prop, wide open all the time,?etc. could contribute to longevity/heating/ demagging issues.? I didn't used to pay that much attention to motor temps as my original C50XL14s seemed to run fairly cool--but then I went out for some quick flights for practice--hot, humid and flights in close succession and killed 'em both within a week--I was out of business....

As this is a change from the norm, it's apparent that something has changed with the motor.?Higher temp is usually associated with higher load (more watts) which doesn't appear to be the case. A clue might be in the missing fan disc, I doubt that the change in fan efficiency is at fault due to the rapid temp rise. But, you might check the windings for damage from debris, as clearances are close between the rotor and the windings. You?mention that the rotor doesn't have separated magnets.

Same can be said for any of the top 10 at the WC though. Any of them can put in a burner of a flight and score that well. CPLR just seems to be able to put it together when it counts. Also very impressed with Benoit's flying.. At the TOC I thought Benoit was a better freestyle pilot than CPLR, and I'm glad to see he's getting recognition at the world level too. It has to be hard to be the 'other' PLR brother. One thing I didn't care for from watching videos was the style of flying. The very slow rolling through all the maneuvers seemed to take away segment definition for me and blended it all together into continuous motion of sorts. Nothing wrong with it.. I'm just not a fan.

Any of them can put in a burner of a flight and score that well. CPLR just seems to be able to put it together when it counts. Also very impressed with Benoit's flying.. At the TOC I thought Benoit was a better freestyle pilot than CPLR, and I'm glad to see he's getting recognition at the world level too. It has to be hard to be the 'other' PLR brother. One thing I didn't care for from watching videos was the style of flying. The very slow rolling through all the maneuvers seemed to take away segment definition for me and blended it all together into continuous motion of sorts. Nothing wrong with it.. I'm just not a fan. Doug ---- Anthony Abdullah wrote: George, Quote "I can't believe that anybody can be THAT good !" I asked a couple people at the contest last weekend that exact question. Considering the company he was in is he really that much better than everyone else? I am not suggesting that there was any bias, but it just feels a little funny that none of the 99 or so other world class fliers could beat him in even one round? I hope he flies in the 2011 worlds as I am very much looking forward to what perfect pattern flights look like.

Besides, if I was a competitor in the F3A WC, I wouldn't feel much like competing in our Nats after competing in the F3A WC.

One should not effect the other. If the Worlds are flown first then so be it. If some of those fliers choose to stay and participate in our Nats it would be nice but the Nats can not depend on that happening. For me personally I can't afford 2 weeks vacation for the hobby. So I would have to make a choice of which event to attend. I like doing a lot better than watching so I'm pretty sure which way I'm leaning. Would it be so terrible to not have a Nats in 2011??? I know it's a sacrifice but the logistics of having both could really tax our resources.

Bear in mind that in Portugal a lot of competitors did not stay at the hotel that was very close to the worlds site but chose to stay at hotels in a town that was about 25 minutes drive away (on a freeway). The US team, along with France, China, Hong Kong, UK, Russia and the Ukraine chose to practice at an air base about 35 miles away from our hotel. Some sites were within about 15 minutes drive as well. On Wed, Sep 2, 2009 at 7:31 AM, Atwood, Mark wrote: > I have to say I concur.

And with the WC's going on there may not be any practice fields to fly at! I really think that everyone is going to have to make a choice. Very few will try to do both. Moving the WC's to September would at least give a bit of recovery time for those that want to try to attend both. A Nats after the WC's will in my opinion be very lightly attended.

We did find the field that was only 2.2 miles from the hotel for once the contest started. In Argentina we opted to stay an hour from the site (mistake, but lesson learned) but only 5 min from the practice site. In France we were lucky enough to have the field that was an hour and a half away to practice at (but McD's was only 10 min from there lol). We won't have any issues in Muncie though. I believe the thinking for the Worlds then Nats was most would only want to see the semi's and finals anyway, so putting the Nats afterwards made more sense since most show-up a few days earlier anyway. And by the semi's, only 30 pilots will be out practicing so the fields won't be that bad. And after that, no one practices.

I have to say I concur. I would love to attend both, and likely will try to help at the worlds in some capacity, but back to back would make that impossible. Even for those who can make the vacation time, many can't do two weeks in a row, and like Mike, I would opt to compete rather than watch. Not to mention that the availability of practice sites would be even more limited if both events were side by side. Tony's suggestion of Sept seems to make the most sense, though I have NO clue what the AMA calendar looks like, but I would like to think that the opportunity to host the WC would allow for some calendar clearing. Derek/Andrew/Jason - how far away do teams travel to have access to a practice facility? I'm curious what sort of "radius" clubs need to be in to be a viable option for making their site available to incoming teams.

And the AMA generally wants all of the NATS conducted within a given time window so making a change may not be a simple matter. Forgetting about the pilots for a second, my question is about who will actually do the work for the NATS and then the WC. Seems like it will be ne very overworked group or it will take 2 separate groups of people, and then the question is "who". Both tasks require very knowledgeable and experienced people, especially for the WC. It is going to take a lot of effort on the part of a lot of people to pull them both off.

I've been following this thread and am a little confused on the reasoning for the idea that the Nats attendance would be "down". Everyone I've talked to about the possibility that the worlds and Nats would be held back to back, loved the idea and wants to attend. These are people that don't usually attend the Nats. They want to catch the semis and finals, then fly in the Nats, with hopes that some of the worlds pilots would stay and fly our Nats!

It is the only way I could attend both. I will attend the nats if it is done this way. If not, probably just the worlds. I can go to the nats any year, but not the worlds. Will be a new "learning" experience for me getting to watch how the best of all countries fly their sequences, and should make me a better pilot IMO. If I can't fly by the time I get to the nats, I won't learn it at the practice field anyway. Plus, we still will have our practice fields from Thursday on of the previous week (which is no different than any year), which is when some of us get there. Most I think get there on Saturday or Sunday. Not sure why some think it's a problem with practice fields. I can see the school part of this being an issue for some of the younger competitors, but my daughter started school a few weeks ago, attended the first week, then we were on vacation for the second week, she was back the third week. It wasn't a problem at all. Thanks for putting this together so that we can host the world championship! I can't hardly wait to go!

In the semi-finals you will have thirty or so WC fliers wanting to get in practice on that day off before the semi's are flown. Even worse will be trying to get a motel room before the WC's end. I still don't see why September is not better. I just looked at the AMA site schedule for this month this year and there is very little going on. If held in September you could probably have several practice sites right at AMA.

But I would like to ask a few more questions just for clarification. You have stated before that the Pattern Nats for 2011 won't be scheduled until October of 2010. Has there been any serious discussion with the AMA about the 2011 Pattern Nats and if it will even be possible to do what you are stating? Can they can even be held after the WC? It would seem that this will take a monumental shift in the Center schedule. Are the dates that you have put out for the WC's the only alternative right now? Do we even have the option of moving them later? Thanks for your reply!

Hi All, I'm an old member (and I mean really old) from the group on Distric 7 Pattern Animals. I have been out of pattern for almost 20 years and moved to the Austin, Texas area. I visited the Nats in Muncie and the bug have bit me again. I'm interested in buying an electric pattern a/c new or used. Any offers, suggestions or comments will be promptly answered. Thanks Ren?

Derek has done a huge amount of work to make this happen as you must know. I believe it had been discussed with the ama, and therefore the reason for the rough dates that we have. I could be wrong, but this is my recollection. I know it seems odd to you, as it did me at first, but I haven't been on the team before as you, nor have I ever had the chance to witness a "Worlds" as you have. This is my chance to see it. If it's right before the nats, that's great timing for me. And many that were asked, feel this way. It is wished by many of us that the nats date didn't have to be moved, but soaring could move up a week, and so on to make room for the worlds. The nats will be poorly attended if the two are separated IMO. A lot of people may want to see the worlds competition. If they are separated, not many of us will be able to attend. Just my opinion though. Not discounting yours. I agree with you about it being hard to find a hotel, but I don't think any of the competitors will stick around for a local nats as they just flew the worlds. I would think our own worlds team may not attend the nats right after. Maybe the current team could chime in if they read this to say if they would have stuck around for a local nats in Portugal the week after the worlds. Think about a rotating nats. If it was held somewhere else in the country, the dates would most likely vary up to a month either way. Not arguing with you here. This is said in a calm tone. Just conversing. You coming to Hollister?

Derek, Maybe I'm coming in late to this discussion, and for that I apologize. But I would like to ask a few more questions just for clarification. You have stated before that the Pattern Nats for 2011 won't be scheduled until October of 2010. Has there been any serious discussion with the AMA about the 2011 Pattern Nats and if it will even be possible to do what you are stating? Can they can even be held after the WC? It would seem that this will take a monumental shift in the Center schedule. Are the dates that you have put out for the WC's the only alternative right now?

At the 2008 Nats I had a discussion with the AMA about the WC's and when would be the best time to do it. Several suggestions were made as to timing but one of them (the current one of having the WC's at the end of the Nats followed by the pattern Nats) made the best since logistically as well as with timing on getting the facility. Several different options of where to put the WC's were considered and we finally settled on the "current" set of dates as a place holder. These dates were run by a number of people and everyone was in agreement, including the CIAM, as to whether it would be feasible to host the event during this time period. The more people we talked to, and by fully explaining the reasoning to them, the more they liked it. We haven't been operating in a vacuum with this - full cooperation with the AMA and the CIAM has been done on this. One can't do this without either party and I definitely would be foolish to come up with dates without ensuring that the AMA and the CIAM have bought into them. Officially, the pattern Nats won't be scheduled until the planning meeting next year - just like all events are scheduled each year at this planning meeting.

I first heard about the proposed dates at the NSRCA officers meeting held at the Nats. My initial reaction was how cool it will be that we will have 2 events back to back and what a privilege it is to host the worlds. I know that Derek has been busting his tail and doing his homework to get this done so I support him. So after some thought I've come to the conclusion that this is a pretty workable solution if all the logistics can be worked out with the AMA and event conflicts. To the best of my knowledge there have been talks with Don Cherry of the AMA and I think for the most part the preliminary schedule is pretty close to what's going to happen. Someone had to take the ball here and make some decisions. I'm thinking that this is Derek's and the AMA's plan. Question is what would you have done if you were the leader of our organization? I think it was Doug who made the statement that the Worlds are a priority. He's right to a degree. We have been chosen to host the best flyers in the world and this has to be #1 on the list of things to accomplish in 2011. I will re access my personal needs and align myself with the task at hand. If I get lucky I get to do both the end of the worlds and compete in the Nats. Time and personal situations will dictate. Will the worlds hurt the Nats? Probably. Will finding volunteers be difficult? No doubt. Can we do it all? I'm pretty confident but it won't be easy and we need people to be understanding and flexable. I can't wait to see CLPR for myself. Thanks for letting me air my thoughts.

First of all, the Nats is being treated as if it is just a local, fly for fun, whatever event. The Nats is a national event where the best in the US and those from any other country competes for the National title. This is the biggest competition in the United States. It is also the best competitive pattern event the US, possibly in the world. There are a core group of individuals that make all that possible. The event has evolved, grown and matured over the course of many years. It works very well. I would be very cautious about doing any major upheaval to that event. Very importantly also, the world championships is the the FAI worlds premiere event in pattern. It deserves its sole identity and space. I strongly recommend it has its own time and commitment. It is 2 years away. Now is the time to get the core group together to put an event together we can all be proud of. People that travel from all over the world to come here to compete deserve our very best uncompromised effort. It is very important we decide our philosophy in this issue. Are we doing this to please the casual flyer or the dedicated competitor? Is it a curiosity or a serious commitment to provide the very best arena to find the best flyer in the nation and the world? I say make the Nationals the best in the nation, make the World Championship the best in the world. I believe this twofer concept will make both events suffer. I am opposed to it. Separate the events by a substantial time frame. Find someone dedicated to making the world championship a truly world class event. Build a team for it. Make it happen.

I've seen some comments on this list from several people that obviously know what it takes to run a world championship so my challenge to you all is this - step up and take the event manager job and run the event the proper way. If you don't want to be the event manager for the event (not CD it but plan it) then please offer your services to help plan the event with the selected event manager so that it can be the best world championship. The Nats is a standalone event and will remain as such. It has its own event director and core group of volunteers that help each and every year.

No doubt. Can we do it all? I'm pretty confident but it won't be easy and we need people to be understanding and flexable." I think Tony Stillman will agree that, if we could get the country's R/C aerobatics pilots to come to an old Navy field on the Gulf Coast near Navarre, Florida and perform all the "skill jobs" required to run an F3A World Championships, like we did in 1999, I think we can handle putting on one in Muncie in 2011. BTW, CPLR was there in 1999, and it is worth watching him fly.

In-Reply-To: <009101ca2c40$509b13f0$f1d13bd0$@com> References: <009101ca2c40$509b13f0$f1d13bd0$@com> Message-ID: Hi Rene, Steve Hannah here. I remember flying with you in District 7 back in the day. I did the same thing as you, only a couple years ago. I had been out of pattern for many years but when I saw the new generation of electric pattern planes, well I got the bug. I bought a used electric Oxai Pinnacle and went on from there. Tips for you, based on my experience: - There's a big learning curve with this electric stuff, so either copy a setup from someone or from someone's build thread on RCU or buy a used plane. If you copy motor/controller/prop setups and installation setups then you are miles ahead. - Don't buy cheap equipment or uncommon equipment, buy the stuff that everyone else is using (Thunderpower charger & balancer or FMA charger). Your up front investment in electric will be a little steeper than if you were going back in with glow but these are mainly one time investments. Buy top quality, you will spend less in the long run. - Avoid the temptation to buy chinese batteries. They are cheap but my experience with them is that they don't last as long as the real Korean cells. I like the PolyRC 5350 packs from RCLIPOS.COM, they are the best overall value in my opinion. They have the performance and are inexpensive. Thunderpowers are great as well. - Just about any airframe you get that is made for electric will be fine. I like the ones with the top hatch for battery access. In my mind that is mandatory. I am too lazy to flip the airplane over after every flight to change the batteries. I fly the Pass-Port. I like it. It was easy to build as well. - Ask a lot of questions. The RCU electric pattern forum is great. So is www.electric-f3a.com. Obviously, this group is good too. - Be prepared to spend a lot more time at the flying field. Once you start flying these things you will get the bug even worse. I really enjoy electric F3A. I sold all my IMAC planes and this is all I fly. Email me if you have any questions.

PACE, Featherlite and so on. They can build you a custom trailer to your height needs. Basically the same 6 x 10ft but have it say 65" tall. They build these anyway and can customize to your needs. Normal trailers don't fit in normal garage doors. They are usually too tall. But you can measure it up and they can make one for you. In most cases the cost to customize is minimal from ordering a trailer. Of course it can be a little more money than buying one they have sitting on the lot..... If you are going to travel, not just 10miles to the field and back, you will benefit and wish you had...V nose for better gas mileage and a little extra storage up front. Real Trailer radial tires for some reason they always put crappy tires on the trailers...You need good radial tires. And last but not least a side door at the front. It will benefit you loading and unloading as well as when you leave the models in the trailer to get at the stuff stored up front like a generator, fuel, cooler, chairs, EZ up, and other needed items.

The field will be open all week before the contest if you want to come early and practice. Our facility features a wide and long paved North South runway with no obstruction to either approach. We have an air conditioned club house with indoor plumbing and we have large covered areas north and south of the clubhouse with enough 4X8 tables for everyone to use a couple. Each table has a pair of overhead electrical outlets. We'll be flying all classes, Sportsman through FAI. We will plan to fly the P11 schedule for FAI both days (at the request of the FAI guys represented by Earl Haury).

After successful ground runs I once again had a dead stick in flight. I decided it was time to send it in to YS and I took the engine out of the plane. Then, something on the front caught my eye as I was about to stick it into the plastic bag. The fuel line at the front of the engine was split right at the bulge of the upper nipple. Good grief Charlie Brown, can?t believe after the mid-air I did not check the simplest of things. I took the engine (alsmost) completely apart! Well, with a new fuel line the engine runs great, so now that the 160DZ is working, I have no need for a backup 140DZ, so it is for sale. I have found it seems to like a 17X10N at Michigan altitude and at my former location of Albuquerque too. It had plenty of power to pull my Brio through this years and last years Master?s sequence. I am asking for $350 for the engine. Please e-mail me privately if you are interested. I am going to the D4 championship in a few weeks, so if you are headed there, I can bring it with me. If you are not, I can ship it too.

Most setups are turning in the low to mid 6000 and only 1 or 2 set ups are in the 7000 and none in the 8000 that I know of. This is based on what I have observed only; so there could be a setup turning higher numbers; and on a 10S battery. If you go to more cells = more Volts = more RPM's also more Amps. FAI is caped to 10 cells not sure about AMA. My Hacker A-60 is on the mid 7000 and we were using the 18.1X10-11-12 glow props; while it flies very nice with these props the plane is very slow for top classes and or wind. So right now I'm using an E prop; huge difference. It's also my understanding that the E props are more efficient than the regular glow props not 100% sure but pretty certain about it but you are correct about the stiffer is more efficient when comparing 2 identical props lets say one plastic and one carbon but not equal when comparing different airfoils. An APC 20X10 E will be more efficient than a 20 X10 Glow and if you can make the APC 20X10E in Carbon it will be more efficient than the original 20X10E etc. Just my observations.

Ideal in this context meaning most thrust and/or speed for least amount of input power. Because the impulse loads from an electric motor are lower, and electrics are generally run at lower RPM (primarily to take advantage of larger more efficient props), it is possible to design a prop that is closer to the ideal shape and lighter while still having the needed structural integrity. Several years ago, I played with a very high RPM outrunner (295 KV) and checked many different props, including some E vs glow prop comparisons - 16x10E - 8400 RPM, 79 amps 16x10 - 8800 RPM, 69 amps Performance in the air was very similar, but the E prop was much lighter (about 65% the weight of the glow prop). I preferred the glow prop because it afforded the same performance with cooler motor, ESC, and lipo temps (less mah discharged for an equal flight). I've run high RPM (7500 - 8000) outrunners in pattern quite a bit, and had always found the glow props to be better - in terms of lower input watts needed and fewer mah consumed for equal flights...and I had a theory why...but never "proved" it to myself until this past year. I laminated a number of E props of various sizes for various motors/RPMs with CF cloth, and found on the higher RPM setups, the E props with CF would turn more RPM and draw less amps..and in the air they indeed performed better than a stock E prop or a similar sized glow prop.

Ideal in this context meaning most thrust and/or speed for least amount of input power. Because the impulse loads from an electric motor are lower, and electrics are generally run at lower RPM (primarily to take advantage of larger more efficient props), it is possible to design a prop that is closer to the ideal shape and lighter while still having the needed structural integrity. Several years ago, I played with a very high RPM outrunner (295 KV) and checked many different props, including some E vs glow prop comparisons ? 16x10E ? 8400 RPM, 79 amps 16x10 ? 8800 RPM, 69 amps Performance in the air was very similar, but the E prop was much lighter (about 65% the weight of the glow prop). I preferred the glow prop because it afforded the same performance with cooler motor, ESC, and lipo temps (less mah discharged for an equal flight). I?ve run high RPM (7500 ? 8000) outrunners in pattern quite a bit, and had always found the glow props to be better ? in terms of lower input watts needed and fewer mah consumed for equal flights?..and I had a theory why?..but never ?proved? it to myself until this past year. I laminated a number of E props of various sizes for various motors/RPMs with CF cloth, and found on the higher RPM setups, the E props with CF would turn more RPM and draw less amps?.and in the air they indeed performed better than a stock E prop or a similar sized glow prop. With respect to pattern sized motors/power?..I saw very little improvement at <6500 RPM, but noticeable improvement >7000 RPM.

According to the error message their servers are feeding back, the delay is due to user complaints: host a.mx.mail.yahoo.com[67.195.168.31] refused to talk to me: 421 4.7.0 [TS01] Messages from 209.112.194.3 temporarily deferred due to user complaints - 4.16.55.1; see http://postmaster.yahoo.com/421-ts01.html This is a temporary error, so the NSRCA list server will retry delivery, and the messages are getting through eventually. Ironically this message will be delayed as well to those on Yahoo!. Please be careful with your provider's anti-SPAM controls, the impact of an accidental configuration can have unintended consequences beyond the user who makes the mistake.

You were more than cordial in your emails! I took the several emails I have as concern and I can understand why. Before I was editor, I used to look forward to my Kfactor showing up just like everyone else. I can understand the concern when they are late. That is the reason I posted this. So everyone can know what you now know. As for all the praise and thanks from everyone, c'mon, cut it out. It's nice to hear, but I don't do this for that, and I'm not the only one that works for this organization. There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes. It's been a real eye opener for me about how professional this organization is, and I'm really happy that I got involved. It has taught me a lot, as has posting in the forums, and on here. But I still have a lot to learn. A work in progress, if you will.

That being said, the battery weight can be up to 20% of the foamy weight, so small displacement can have a big effect. The center of vertical mass mattered back in the top-mounted tuned pipe days--those airplanes pulled to the canopy in verticals (OK, some of this was design), so people reconfigured the mass. The relative mass above C/L was probably less than 7% of airframe weight and was not that far from the CG...probably proportional to mounting the batteries in the belly pan of today's 2m designs. Battery weight is about 10% of our typical 2M weights. The significance of off-center mass will of course depend on distance of the mass from the center line, however, given the above observations I suspect battery placement (vertically) should be important....but no one with the belly pan mounting ever seems to complain!

After some time flying both with the same static CG came to the conclusion that the equivalent static CG of the electric has to be forward of the glow to get both planes to fly similar.? Therefore, the inertia effect of the heavy items is important since the electric motor is lighter than the YS engine and the batteries are heavy and closer to the CG.? This was very surprising to me since usually we think that if the plane have the same static CG they should fly similar.? It took me some time to realize this. In the electric Abbra the static CG is around 1/2" forward of the glow version.? It is important to mention that the Abbra was originally design for gas engine ( ZDZ 40).? This engine is a lot heavier than the electric or YS engines.? I suspect that this plane trims a lot better with the gas engine due to the inertia effect of the heavy engine in the nose.? In conclusion, a good electric pattern design should have the nose a little longer. I am converting to electric one of my YS powered Abbras .? I will try to place the batteries closer to the C/L of the fuselage and see the effect flying both planes back-to-back.? It will take me some time to report but I am planing to let you know if I notice a difference.??

A 10s pack is certainly over 1000gms making it more than 20% of a 5kg legal airframe. I suspect moving that amount of mass vertically has the same significant impact that it does on the foamies. That said, the same is maybe MORE true of our changing mass fuel tanks. While they weigh less, they flux from over a lb to almost nothing during flight. Being high or low in the fuse will certainly impact trim. We seem to just fly with it. My guess is you're trimming out any issues a high or low battery causes and moving on. -------------------------- Sent from my BlackBerry Wireless Handheld ----- Original Message ----- From: nsrca-discussion-bounces at lists.nsrca.org To: 'General pattern discussion' Sent: Tue Sep 15 23:09:16 2009 Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] batteries high or low (electric pilots) JAS Base on my experience I agree with the previous observations about battery placement on foamies.

A 10s pack is certainly over 1000gms making it more than 20% of a 5kg legal airframe. I suspect moving that amount of mass vertically has the same significant impact that it does on the foamies. That said, the same is maybe MORE true of our changing mass fuel tanks. While they weigh less, they flux from over a lb to almost nothing during flight. Being high or low in the fuse will certainly impact trim. We seem to just fly with it.

That being said, the battery weight can be up to 20% of the foamy weight, so small displacement can have a big effect. The center of vertical mass mattered back in the top-mounted tuned pipe days--those airplanes pulled to the canopy in verticals (OK, some of this was design), so people reconfigured the mass. The relative mass above C/L was probably less than 7% of airframe weight and was not that far from the CG...probably proportional to mounting the batteries in the belly pan of today's 2m designs. Battery weight is about 10% of our typical 2M weights. The significance of off-center mass will of course depend on distance of the mass from the center line, however, given the above observations I suspect battery placement (vertically) should be important....but no one with the belly pan mounting ever seems to complain!

It seems logical that anything of significant mass (batteries) should be close to the roll center of the airplane, and I mount mine that way. I flew an Abbra for a season with the batts centered and liked the way it flew. OTOH, several folks have competed successfully with the Abbra with batts hanging low in the cowl - so go figure. Guess you'll just have to do the experiment (and let us know what you observe).

I have gotten by (barely) without adding a pump by slightly restricting the muffler outlet with a brass tube extension. The engine acts as if it doesn't have enough muffler backpressure to the tank. I stripped the following explanation from a 2-year old e-mail. "Here is a photo of the exhaust restrictor I am trying on my 120-AX. The 13/32 (3/8 ID) brass tube is flared on one end to prevent it from coming out of the exhaust hose coupler. I experienced lean running at full throttle on an extended vertical running a 16-10 prop (APC). This is a lot of load and I tried 10-20 fuel which helped but the transition was still too rich when the high speed was adjusted rich enough to support an extended vertical. I thought a little more fuel pressure (muffler back pressure) might help. I also tried a 3/8 tube, which I felt was pulling the RPM down. This one seamed to do the trick. I was able to adjust the high-speed needle in about 1/4 turn (now open 1 1/2). The transition on the bottom of the six sided outside is now immediate. It will go lean when pulling vertical if the throttle is advanced rapidly after pulling to vertical. If the throttle is advanced slow enough for the RPM's to come up it works fine. I expect the problem would not exist if running less prop load and more RPM's. I just like the way the airplane flies with the 16-10." My current flying style includes advancing the throttle as I begin pulling vertical, achieving WOT about the time the airplane gets vertical. This seams to work ok but if I go vertical before adding throttle it will go lean. I also experienced erratic running when the rear bearing was going bad. They don't last very long. I am currently running the 140 RX-FI bearing as suggested here about a year ago. OS # 29430010 It takes a while for the noticeable seal drag to go away but after a season it still feels smooth as new. For what it's worth!

Pump, regulator, header tank, or a Macs one piece muffler (not exactly sure if the pressure is higher on Macs muffler, but it usually increase output a little) may help. OS used to sell a fuel nipple that has longer threaded side. One that some of us used on 160 back plate for crank case prssure? I once moved the nipple from the muffler body to exhaust port side to increase the pressure. If you can find a longer threaded fuel nipple, grind about 1/2 of the threaded side in angle. Then, install it facing the exhaust. It helps one a couple of old engines. Are you using Control Line fuel?

This seams to work ok but if I go vertical before adding throttle it will go lean. I also experienced erratic running when the rear bearing was going bad. They don't last very long. I am currently running the 140 RX-FI bearing as suggested here about a year ago. OS # 29430010 It takes a while for the noticeable seal drag to go away but after a season it still feels smooth as new. For what it's worth!

Here's the the link: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9110170/tm.htm And what it says: I'm hoping this thread will help answer some questions about the OS-120AX that I am having. I've got it in an 8lb 2oz, 110 sized pattern plane, stock muffler, 420cc tank (14oz), OS-F plug, 3-line system (Vent, carb clunk line, fill clunk line), 15x10 APC and for break-in, PowerMaster 10% with 29% Caster... will switch to 15% with 16-18% Synthetic after this gallon. The tank is fairly close to inline with the carb, maybe 1/2" higher. On neg/inverted pushes the motor seems to starve until I close the throttle a little. On pos/upright pulls it seems ok, maybe a slight richening. There is a nice smoke trail as after my first flight I wasn't rich enough and the flight ended a bit early. I'm sure it will run a bit easier after it's broken in, but has anyone tried a foam clunk like the YS's use? Any other tips? It has enough power with this set-up to go through the F-09 sequence, but about half way through it starts this 'cutting out' deal. It's just annoying to have to power back as you're climbing to keep it running. Also, what differences has anyone noticed flying the 15x10 to 16x8 in testing.

This years event solidified my belief that this is the best contest of the year on our circuit. 35 fliers is better than expected and it's even better because of all the newbies coming into the fold. 6 guys in Sportsman is testament to the grass roots effort being put forth by the guys in D4. The future look brighter than ever. Amy, Bob, Mark, and the host club. Thanks for your fine effort. I have to admit that I'm looking forward to some time off. About this time of the year I find myself a tad worn out. Overall the Midwest had an above average contest season. All of the many contests surrounding the Chicago area were well supported and well ran. Thanks to all who took the time to attend them and host them.

It was an absolutely FANTASTIC contest that turned into what felt like a Saturday evening Bar-B-Que or a family reunion. Between the wonderful smell of steaks roasting, Bob kane's great portable concert hall, the ridiculous desert spread, and the friendly conversations all around, it could not have been any better. My goal next year is to do whatever it takes to bring at least one sport flyer to this contest because there is no way in the world that anyone could attend and not be permamently hooked on pattern! Did anyone else notice the spectator turn out for the contest? It was nice to see such enthusiasm for the sport. I know the expectation of carnage brought out the masses and I hope it continues to grow. On that note, Mark and Bob P. Did a great job of keeping things moving. I will plan to take the Friday before the contest off next year so I am not so travel weary. Thanks again for a great pattern season and I will be looking forward to seeing you all again soon! Be safe this off season and build em straight!

(yes in Basic with a pattern plane :) ) Has any thought been given to flying unknowns as the IMAC guys do? If you are not familiar with it, on a 2 day contest the unknown is handed out after flying is done on the first day. The unknown is appropriate for your class and is the same nationwide for that weekend. You are on an honor system not to fly it or use a sim (I suspect some people do) and the first flight of day 2 is the unknown. I believe it can not be a dropped round. Basic class flies their usual sequence no unknown. It adds a bit of excitement to the 2nd day of the contest. You have to be able to do a bunch of maneuvers not in this years sequence but appropriate for the class. So practice time might be more than 6 identical flights of your current sequence. And most importantly it may provide for some separation for the top fliers in each class. I had a lot of fun discussing the sequences with my friends that were there, and watching and listening to them after flying it. Hard to fly a sequence for the first time without making a significant error.

IMAC versus pattern? I've flown a bunch of IMAC over the last 4 years. IMAC and Pattern answer two different questions, and each group has DISTINCTLY different personalities. At the end of a pattern contest, you will see who flew the sequences the best (usually the best pilot). At the end of an IMAC contest, you will get closer to seeing who the best pilot is in that class. There are pros and cons for each, each fitting the personalities of the groups. Pattern: Is about learning the fundamentals of precision flight. Group is not too excited about changing sequences too often, especially for the lower classes. It is a pattern-truth that the lower classes are designed to build piloting skill and teach precision aerobatics fundamentals (wings level and such). This group recognizes that guys don't get to fly every day, and the goal is "fly your sequence the best you can." Lower classes are not considered "destination" classes. Pattern guys almost 100% of the time can get into Advanced and Masters, with F3A being hit or miss. Pattern guys believe it is "fair" that the competition is only the "known" sequences because this levels the playing field - anyone can compete because we know what is going to be flown ahead of time, and the tier-2 kind of pilot has a competitive chance against tier-1 pilot, per se'. Pattern guys want to know what the rules are, and then build a plane within the rules and maximize what they can. Pattern guys are open, and keep all contests open to whoever can make it. IMAC: almost 100% opposite to the pattern personality. Guys don't like rules! Do not want rules applied to planes (... no support for even adequate mufflers or tuned pipes/silencers). Not willing to "describe" airspace or where maneuvers are flown (read ACS definition if like and let us know what the criteria is). IMAC does not encourage moving up in the way the culture of pattern does - plenty of guys in IMAC will fly Basic or Sportsman for many years. Intermediate is realistically the destination class. Few make it into Advanced, and less into Unlimited. IMAC guys want to fly new sequences every year, and this sort of offsets the motivation for moving up. IMAC guys have some affinity for "freestyle" and undisciplined flying - they like that you don't have to practice the know sequence all the time. All you need to do is keep "close" in the knowns, and score a high unknown round and you can win the contest due to the higher weighting the unknown round carries. IMAC guys don't really focus on getting better geometry out of maneuvers - as hitting snap rolls will make or break you IMAC score. Using the 0.5/point per 5 degree rule, "snap-rolls" are in fact the whole secret to scoring IMAC patterns well - it is a maneuver within a maneuver and you need to learn how your plane snaps at low speed, high speed, power-on, and power-off. If you can't hit a snap roll exit, don't even think about getting into Advanced or Unlimited. This group likes "exclusivity" or "invitational" events, and this also makes its way into the regional championships. So - there are totally different personalities at work for both organizations. I like flying unknowns, but I don't think it is a good mix for precision aerobatics events. Guys moved from F3A into Masters to get away from the two known sequences, so I don't think unknowns for the AMA classes really fits into the culture, or our goals of "precision" aerobatics.

I must have a dozen 2.4g receivers now. I have nothing against the JR/Spektrum, a lot of my friends fly JR (I am in a very small minority in my club flying Futaba). I will admit that I bought the Spektrum module for one of my old Futaba transmitters, so that I could do the "bind-n-fly" thing as well. ? I will tell you guys a funny story. I was at Efest this year. I was flying a Vapor over in the corner for the ultralight planes, and heard someone walk up behing a friend of mine (Jeff Phillips, Radioactive Airshow Team) and start asking him how he liked the Vapors. Well, I thought it must be someone who had never flown a Vapor, so I turned around and handed him my transmitter, an old Futaba 7UA with a Spektrum module, so he could fly it. It happened to be Peter Goldsmith. :-)? I wish I had said "feel the difference" to him. ? Bob R. --- On Tue, 9/22/09, John Pavlick wrote: Bill, You are a one-percenter among the one-percenters! LOL ? I actually bought the Spektrum module with Rx for my Futaba 12Fg because it was such a good deal. I'm going to use this setup for indoor this year with some of those really small Spektrum receivers. It's also great for the E-Flite Bind-N-Fly models. I just didn't see the point in going "the other way" but?I guess in your case it makes sense. ?

Give IMAC a try if you can borrow a plane and practice snap rolls with it. I think though you will be surprised that the skills that separate pilots in pattern (like maintaining heading control and distance, wings level, geometry), are not so rewarded in scoring in the IMAC sequences (or read as these same skill areas are not so downgraded in IMAC like they would be in pattern). One reason the geometry falls away, is that the "family of maneuvers" descriptions, such as Family 1, will turn what is in pattern as a "Figure N (centered of course)", into a maneuver consisting of lines and radii - none of the radii need to match, none of the lines need to match, no centering criteria. Again, different strokes as the saying goes.

Like you said, there are many similarities too. The hardest thing about flying IMAC and pattern is going from a lot of IMAC practice, to flying the smaller pattern plane again. IMAC in the South East anyway, is strongly encouraging to fly the 40% planes as close to the runway as possible ? well inside 150 meters to put a number on it. So, going from flying a huge plane close, to a smaller plane ?far? away, is very uncomfortable for me. It takes like 10-20 flights to feel ?ahead? of the pattern plane again if say, you dedicated 6 weeks to IMAC flying then switched back to pattern. However, going from the pattern plane to IMAC plane is cake ? you are ready for competition in 3 flights.

Like you said, there are many similarities too.? The hardest thing about flying IMAC and pattern is going from a lot of IMAC practice, to flying the smaller pattern plane again.? IMAC in the South East anyway, is strongly encouraging to fly the 40% planes as close to the runway as possible ? well inside 150 meters to put a number on it. ?So, going from flying a huge plane close, to a smaller plane ?far? away, is very uncomfortable for me.? It takes like 10-20 flights to feel ?ahead? of the pattern plane again if say, you dedicated 6 weeks to IMAC flying then switched back to pattern.? However, going from the pattern plane to IMAC plane is cake ? you are ready for competition in 3 flights.

Probably 1-2 contest per year because contest is too far from KC.? Jim is very close in his description.? However, I found that if you fly with the same goals we fly in pattern you will have very high chance to win in IMAC .? The rules are very close (read the snap roll and you will be surprised?how?close is to?pattern AMA and F3A, IMAC and IAC).? I think the Sportsman?s IMAC pilots get stuck in that class because they have to fly partial rollers in Intermediate IMAC without learning?to do slow roll first.? Looks like? IMAC don't want to do slow roll because is a pattern maneuver.? If you check the IAC maneuvers you will find that they have slow roll.? In conclusion, I believe?we have very close goals but we are?always looking for ways to find differences when really there is not a huge difference after we read the rulebooks.? By the way, I am using soft mount in my YAK (DA 100 with canisters and 3 lade prop).? One time I got to a contest and started the engine to get ready.? A couple of?pilots in the other side of the field came to ask me if my motor was electric.? IMAC guys do not use soft mounts just because pattern guys use soft mounts.? It is similar to the elimination of center manuevers to the judges.? The excuse to eliminate center manuevers was because IMAC goal is to reduce the footprint.?

In this way, we have more to do when waiting for the sun to move out.? I also agree to all your comments below.? In conclusion, if you fly IMAC using the same principles we use to fly pattern you will have very high chances to do well.? Clearly, you did.? In regard sound, that is becoming a huge issue.??I believe that there is a group that is suggesting to do sound test as prescribed in the rulebook in all contests. Yes, partial rolling circles are introduced in the Intermediate class.? As we know, there is not way to do?rollers by rolling fast.? IMAC is missing to introduce the slow roll in Sportsman's class.? I am not sure why?since IAC includes the?slow roll. We arrive to the same conclusion.??We had fun.? ???

Guess it was inevitable.? I brought it up because I though unknowns might add an interesting twist to a pattern contest. My thoughts on IMAC vs Pattern.? Yes IMAC places a lot of emphasis on spins and snaps.? I lost a lot of points due to my spin entries (some forced to spin on center) Sound score too subjective. ACS score not well described, also subjective.? On the other hand I practiced the basic IMAC pattern in a pattern box and flew it like that at the contest.? Generally flying a bit further out than the IMAC guys, using both ends of "my" box and trying to center all of the center maneuvers.? I scored 17 10's 2 8's and 1 9 on the ACS scores.? Looking at several other scores in all classes (all scores are posted on the IMAC site for every contest)? showed me that they liked it.? Most other pilots did not score as high in the ACS scores.? Lack of centering or positioning.? I don't understand it at all.? A center maneuver should be centered for the highest score.? I suspect putting my center maneuvers on center helped the ACS score however.? Many pilots performed maneuvers too close to the flight line and geometry could not be seen.? I am not sure what is taught in the judging schools about this. Some maneuvers do allow different radii in some places many do not.? minor point.? Most of the rest of the geometry is very similar, 45 degree lines are strictly grades, placing rolls center of lines, wing overs, are clearly downgraded, pendulum swings on stall turns etc. No slow rolls :(, integrated rolls in loops do not have an angular or rolling speed requirement just need to be centered, also :( Classes are more bottom heavy.?? Sequences in advanced and unlimited are down right hard.? The advanced sequence is harder than out Masters sequence.? Rolling circles or part of circles are introduced in the intermediate class I believe (3rd class or 5) Is it different? Yes, Do I agree with everything the way they do it? No, Was it interesting having a 2 meter plane be dwarfed by over 20 other planes at the field? Yes,? Did I have fun?? Absolutely Stuart C.

I just wanted to say that there is a maneuvers called slow roll that is not mention?in the? IMAC rule book.? I got the description from the IAC web site.? Here the description: Slow rolls have to be flown normally on a straight line (exception is the avalanche). The roll rate has to be constant and the longitudinal axis of the plane has to go straight. This requires constantly changing rudder and elevator control inputs throughout the roll. I wonder how this maneuver is judged.? Base on the description it is required to use rudder and elevator.? I?suspect that the judge has the authority to downgrade if the pilots is trying to avoid using rudder and elevator during the roll.??I really don't know how this is done in the real planes but I will guess that a?pilot will try to do slower?roll rate to get maximum points.?

FAI flew P-11 which was fun to see and judge for the first time. As for the turnout I believe this year's event was impacted by the event held in Tulsa the previous weekend. I am all for having as many events within an annual period in D6 as possible however it's up to us in D6 to be sensitive to scheduling events that are close together in time and geography that might have a negative impact to potential attendance of a single event. Out of necessity a positive outcome to low attendance is having folks in Intermediate and Advanced judge Masters and FAI. In the long term this benefits future contests by having a deeper resource pool of competent judges to cover all classes. A nice to have would be having who judged what from year to year tracked so a CD or whomever at an event knows who is able to judge when determining judge assignments at an event.

At the last two pattern events in BC, the FAI guys not only flew a round of F-09 but also a round of unknowns. They were picked by the pilots on Saturday night and flown the following day. The maneuvers were picked out of the FAI rule book and then printed up for all competitors and judges to peruse that evening. It was a lot of fun and everyone enjoyed it. The feedback was very positive and it will probably be done again next year.... Not sure though. We also had a D-7 member in Frank Capone fly it so he can maybe give you his own impressions of it. The scoring was done by carrying forward the best 3 of 4 P-09 scores, normalized it to 1000, adding the normalized D and unknown rounds each to the total and the winner is determined.

As Doug said, the traditional "slow roll" merely means a normal aileron roll without any hesitations (points). Nothing in the description you quoted mentions a particular roll rate, only that the rate must be constant. As far as control inputs go, if you want to see an IAC judge laughs themselves unconscious tell them that you think a figure should be downgraded because the pilot failed to use the rudder or what ever. In IAC and IMAC it does not matter how a pilot achieves the criteria, all that matters is how well those criteria are met. Period. And Doug is right about the IAC roll rate. They will roll as fast as the plane is capable of rolling. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

What you are judged on is placing the roll centered on the apex of the loop and flying an arced line during the 1/2 loop. Your roll rate will determine how many degrees of arc you take. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Jim W's post pretty well hit the nail on the head. Leave the unknowns to IMAC. When I switched from F3A to IMAC (actually the JR SCAT series) in 2002 I started flying Intermediate and really liked the unknowns. Flying those unknown sequences was very easy. I found the degree of difficulty of maneuvers between intermediate and the then F3A sequence to be compatible. Unknowns were no more difficult and, since I had been flying competitive pattern for 12 years I had little trouble adapting. I was typically the most experienced pilot in the class so I had little trouble. Moving up the ladder saw an exponential increase in the degree of difficulty for the maneuvers as well as for the unknowns. It is true, you have to kick butt in the unknown in order to win. So, at every contest I would spend saturday night learning and memorizing my unknown. I'd get the sequence and stick fly it until I fell asleep. I got to where I really hated that. It wasn't fun. Flying Unlimited in 2007, including the TAS, burned me out on this whole thing and cured me of any desire to fly unknowns ever again. When I started flying pattern again in 2008, it was like a breath of fresh air to me. The contests were fun again. I am a competitive guy and I stopped having fun at IMAC contests. They were just too much work. Pattern contests are much lower key and relaxing. IMAC events are hectic. The unknowns put a cramp on your fun as well. I would always be thinking at the evening group dinner "I can't have that extra beer, I need to leave NOW in order to have enough time to cram the Unlimited Unknown sequence into memory". That sucked. As for the never ending debate of which is better/tougher/more precise, I'll say this. Flying Pattern made me a good IMAC pilot. Then, flying IMAC made me a much better Pattern flier. They're all good. Everyone should try both. Just leave the unknowns to IMAC, Keep them easy enough to memorize in 10 minutes in the morning so you can have a few beers and shoot the bull with your buddies at night.

As Doug said, the traditional "slow roll" merely means a normal aileron roll without any hesitations (points). Nothing in the description you quoted mentions a particular roll rate, only that the rate must be constant. Correct. However, the descriptions adds the following:?? " the plane has to go straight. This requires constantly changing rudder and elevator control inputs throughout the roll".? For me this means that the pilots has to show complete control during the roll.? Clearly this is very difficult to show if the plane rolls extremely fast and the pilot does not do any effort to demonstrate what the description of the maneuver is calling for.??Probably they don't require a time since they want to avoid having a separate judge?measuring the time to roll.??Interesting situation and will be good to ask?

As far as control inputs go, if you want to see an IAC judge laughs themselves unconscious tell them that you think a figure should be downgraded because the pilot failed to use the rudder or what ever.

In IAC and IMAC it does not matter how a pilot achieves the criteria, all that matters is how well those criteria are met. Period.? Agree if follow what is in the rule book.?

I was flying a Vapor over in the corner for the ultralight planes, and heard someone walk up behing a friend of mine (Jeff Phillips, Radioactive Airshow Team) and start asking him how he liked the Vapors. Well, I thought it must be someone who had never flown a Vapor, so I turned around and handed him my transmitter, an old Futaba 7UA with a Spektrum module, so he could fly it.

Thanks for sharing your experience below. Just to add some more thoughts about the unknowns. Unknowns invite a "team" approach to flying them successfully. Most the pilots will take their unknown, and go to their most experienced friend that can read arestii, and ask for it to be deciphered. Groups of 3-5 pilots will go through and try to get them sorted out. You then leave the field or dinner thinking you got them right. Later in the hotel room, you realize that some particular snap & roll combination is "same direction" instead of the typical opposite direction (for instance). Then, you doubt the whole thing and study it again. In the morning, you go to your buds and see if they caught the mistake, but then sort of hope the other 'competition' didn't catch it. So here goes the sequence of events morning of - if you are the person folks are relying on to "call-correctly" for them, it can really cramp your morning. You will be studying the other classes unknown nearly as much as your own. If you call for them (sometimes a couple people let's say) before you fly, YOU better have a good caller lined up to help keep you own head straight. It puts more pressure on you to "call-correctly" for someone, than to fly your own sequence. It also puts you in an uncomfortable spot to say "no" to the task when you absolutely need to. You will quickly look around and realize that other pilots have that "super-experienced" caller working with them all the time - maybe for years. If your flying group doesn't have that, all of you are at the disadvantage. As the unknown flier - there are tricks to memorizing the sequence (Don S.'s latest video covers one technique nicely for it), but the bottom line is that your caller will make-or-break this round for you, and in short, the contest outcome. Reading aresti is a skill. Flying unknowns with the same composure and "presentation" that you fly the knowns with a huge new skill to learn. If you are really practicing with IMAC dedication, you should probably fly 65% of the knowns, and 35% of learning how your airplane does every other maneuver not in your known. The benefit is that learning how to approach unknowns and fly them confidently will accelerate your skill growth and make you a better pilot fast. You knees may shake like you are on the Nationals flight line though! I always have a good feeling of accomplishment for pulling off a clean unknown, that you don't always have after even a really good known flight. Unknowns offer a lot and they will make your head stronger for flying, show where your weaknesses as a pilot are, but they come at the price of a lot of studying, dramatic changes in the final pilot positions, and needing a good "team approach" to pull the flights off cleanly.

Thanks for doing so. The sequence is difficult. While flying it myself, I did like the challenge of making the 40% plane fit in the box, and having centered maneuvers again. I'm not sure where it will all go, but thanks for making the effort to give it a shot!!!

I brought my 40% Carden out of mothballs last weekend to work on the F3M stuff and all I wanted to do was fly it like a pattern airplane. Ofcourse it doesn't quite measure up, but I found that I really have no enthusiasm left for wapping through rolls where the only skill involved is being able to stop on time. I admit, on the last flight of the day I digressed and did about 10 minutes of 3d-ish garbage, until I finally realized that it was really not very satisfying. Foamies are more fun these days than knocking the sticks around on a 40 % gasser. I guess I'm just getting old...

I wish that someone builds a kit using the same technology we use to build pattern planes (ie Integral).? Yes, it will need to be below 11 lbs to be competitive.? There will be no noise issues.? Let's try to find one.? I asked Jason S. and he told me that the market is not there to justify the production of this plane.? I think the time is coming because the noise and footprint issues are getting worse and worse.? I found one that comes 12 lbs ready to fly.??This is the Extreme Flight Extra 260?that is 78" and 76" long.? It is not for sale yet but it is coming.? This could be good choice for now.?

Rolling circles are very neat differentiating maneuvers BUT not desirable in neither IMAC nor Pattern circles. They simply consume too much real estate and contradict the very essence of why we in Pattern moved to quiet our models. Noise reduction footprint was at the core of that effort some 25 years ago. ? As my good friend Dean Pappas?and I have discussed?on many occasions, rolling loops, segments, variations, etc. are just as neat as circles and consume no more footprint than the typical schedule would.

Due to the fact that I like to present the canopy to the judges on the stall I will roll left on the upline (trust me, I can do it either way and I realize there is no mandate, it's just my own aesthetic preference). Now comes the sticky wicket,......on the down line I will be rolling to the right in preparation for the entry radius into the integrated 1/2 outside. The fact that the 1/4 roll was also centered on the downline will display that outside preparation position for the 1/2 duration of the downline. My question is: .........as I enter the bottom radius and start my roll, is there a roll direction requirement? If I roll LEFT (which will present the canopy) the judges could easily become confused and think that I'm doing an inside 1/2 loop at the bottom, which is really not the case as I had to push to initiate the 1/2 loop.

I objected strongly and thought I made a good argument; loss of fields, over houses, too much real estate, etc. But, they still want the rolling circles in all future patterns and especially F patterns. It sure limits the number of fields that can fly those patterns unless the pilots decide to roll in.

The Aresti shows the model approaching from the left. As the first radius is completed and the model assumes a vertical track, the requirement is to execute 3 points of a 4 point roll centered on the upline with the stall turn executed at the apex of the line. Due to the fact that I like to present the canopy to the judges on the stall I will roll left on the upline (trust me, I can do it either way and I realize there is no mandate, it's just my own aesthetic preference). Now comes the sticky wicket,......on the down line I will be rolling to the right in preparation for the entry radius into the integrated 1/2 outside. The fact that the 1/4 roll was also centered on the downline will display that outside preparation position for the 1/2 duration of the downline. My question is: .........as I enter the bottom radius and start my roll, is there a roll direction requirement? If I roll LEFT (which will present the canopy) the judges could easily become confused and think that I'm doing an inside 1/2 loop at the bottom, which is really not the case as I had to push to initiate the 1/2 loop. If I roll to the RIGHT the last 1/2 of the loop looks like an inside 1/2 loop. So, I guess my basic question is, am I free to roll according to my whim? I was unable to find any written FAI maneuver descriptions on our site. Is there a link that I'm missing?

I don't want to spend $1400 on a new transmitter that will be out of style in the near future. Matter of fact, you can buy conversion kits from German companies (Weatronics and ACT) that are better than both DSM and FASST. The Germans use frequency hopping where the transmitter and receiver talk back and forth to each other. These German systems aren't cheap but they are certainly better than what we have in the US. Regardless of what system you go with 2.4 GHz is better than 72 MHz. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed Alt" To: "NSRCA List" Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2009 12:53:37 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Spectrum and Hobbico... new 2.4 alternatitve Are you aware of situations where DSM doesn't work? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:29:59 -0400 From: rcpilot at wowway.com To: nsrca-discussion at lists.nsrca.org Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Spectrum and Hobbico... new 2.4 alternatitve I'm still flying 72 MHz using my JR 10X radio. I need to switch to 2.4 this winter. This module is the solution to my problem. I love the 10X, 9303 and 12X radios. I don't like the DSM2 technology, I feel frequency hopping is a superior technology not to mention you can't use DSM2 in Europe. Either Europe will eventually approve DSM2 or JR will switch to frequency hopping worldwide. This solution will afford me more time to see what JR decides to do. So I plan to try this module out on my foamies and park flyers and if I experience no problems I will use it in my pattern planes come this spring unless JR makes a switch to frequency hopping. I know there are a lot of people in my situation.

FASST, JR, or Airtronics; things work just fine. I could see the initial idea that Horizon had with Spektrum to get the world moving to Spread Spectrum with their modules, but I think that time has passed us by. As far as preserving the value of an investment in a transmitter by moving to another brand of receivers with a module - why? Go with a brand you like and don't look back to gimmicks to cross over part way. You always lose something in the process.

I must have a dozen 2.4g receivers now. I have nothing against the JR/Spektrum, a lot of my friends fly JR (I am in a very small minority in my club flying Futaba). I will admit that I bought the Spektrum module for one of my old Futaba transmitters, so that I could do the "bind-n-fly" thing as well. I will tell you guys a funny story. I was at Efest this year. I was flying a Vapor over in the corner for the ultralight planes, and heard someone walk up behing a friend of mine (Jeff Phillips, Radioactive Airshow Team) and start asking him how he liked the Vapors. Well, I thought it must be someone who had never flown a Vapor, so I turned around and handed him my transmitter, an old Futaba 7UA with a Spektrum module, so he could fly it. It happened to be Peter Goldsmith. :-) I wish I had said "feel the difference" to him. Bob R. --- On Tue, 9/22/09, John Pavlick wrote: Bill, You are a one-percenter among the one-percenters! LOL I actually bought the Spektrum module with Rx for my Futaba 12Fg because it was such a good deal. I'm going to use this setup for indoor this year with some of those really small Spektrum receivers. It's also great for the E-Flite Bind-N-Fly models. I just didn't see the point in going "the other way" but I guess in your case it makes sense.

At least then we may have a chance of obtaining the correct placings and/or the correct world champion? Also-do not forget the cost savings to the organisation in that the airfares will be considerably cheaper by obtaining more 'local' judges. This is a big driver for the 'European' hosts....and why countries like Australia and NZ tend be disregarded if at all possible. We have issues in that Southern hemisphere countries always come from Winter climates where we have limited oppertunities to actually prepare/practice for a Northern (summer)world champs. I have also heard suggestions from W/C contest pilots ( not just the aussie team btw), that the they wished they could not be 'identified'i.e that they be infront of some sort of screen whereby the judges could not identify the actual pilot. Sure-some models could be used as a way of identifying the pilot, but there are plenty of the 'same' models being used these days. I thought that was a cool and perhaps 'do-able' thing? More realistic than some sort of computerised/video 'tracking', despite such technology existing.

Been reading all the comments about "unknowns" and thought I'd add my view. I started flying AMA pattern around 1978. At that time, the Masters class made up their own sequence from a list of approved maneuvers, essentially a Freestyle. Being a Novice, I never got to do this, and by the time I reached Masters (some ten or twelve years later), the rules had changed and we were flying turnaround. I think we lost something when the Freestyle went away. ?I left the model world for a dozen years and started flying IAC competition at first in a Pitts, then a Giles 202, and now a Sukhoi 26. Like most newcomers, I started in Sportsman, won a few contests and started up the ladder. At the second level (or third if you count Basic), Intermediate, you are introduced to both Freestyles and Unknowns. For me, this added a whole new level of interest. You might think creating a Freestyle program is a simple matter of selecting maneuvers that add up to the allowable K, and meet the other constraints such as the right number of rolls, snaps, spins,?etc. Not so! It forces you to understand your skills and the capabilities of your airplane. My Freestle might be a disaster for another pilot in another plane - its tailored to my flying style and the strenghts of the Sukhoi. No doubt, working this out over the years has made me a better pilot and made me understand the airplane's capabilities as well. The "Unknown" - well, that separates the men from the boys, so to speak. In most IAC contests where the competition is reasonably close, the Unkown is the decider. Usually, it is not the most difficult sequence. All the maneuvers that can be included are published at the begining of the year, and the allowable K is less than that of the Known or the Freestyle.? Generally, it favors the best pilots. Of course, you don't have a caller, so you have to make up a sequence card that you read during the flight, and/or, if you prefer, try to memorize the sequence. Personnaly, I have found the memory alternative to be a disaster for me. Nonetheless, I find?this is the most interesting round of the competition. Yes, it requires that you spend some time Sat night thinking it through, but that's why I came here - I can drink a beer with friends anytime. I guess it just depends on how you view a contest weekend - are you there to compete and win, or? socialize? ?I belive both are valid reasons for attending, and lately, I often find myself in the latter group. Five or six years ago, I decided to get back to model competition. Both AMA Pattern and IMAC. Not a serious threat to anyone (at 73 you don't do anything seriuosly), but I do try to make a respectable showing. I've been favorably impressed with what I've seen in IMAC - it's like pattern contests were 20 or 30 years ago. Lots of enthusiasm, a bunch of newcomers, even some young kids. I haven't seen any kids (defined as less the 20, maybe 30 ), at a pa ttern contest since I've returned to the scene. Sad. Would an "Unknown" be good for pattern ?? For me, it would make it more interesting, as would a Freestyle, but I don't know if it would?attract any new blood.? If a Freestyle and /or an Unkown were introduced to AMA Pattern, the best, most dedicated pilots would still win - it would just be a more interest ing and fun contest. And that's what its all about.

Also-do not forget the cost savings to the organisation in that the airfares will be considerably cheaper by obtaining more 'local' judges. This is a big driver for the 'European' hosts....and why countries like Australia and NZ tend be disregarded if at all possible. We have issues in that Southern hemisphere countries always come from Winter climates where we have limited oppertunities to actually prepare/practice for a Northern (summer)world champs. I have also heard suggestions from W/C contest pilots ( not just the aussie team btw), that the they wished they could not be 'identified'i.e that they be infront of some sort of screen whereby the judges could not identify the actual pilot. Sure-some models could be used as a way of identifying the pilot, but there are plenty of the 'same' models being used these days. I thought that was a cool and perhaps 'do-able' thing? More realistic than some sort of computerised/video 'tracking', despite such technology existing.

If you've never critically watched an F3A World Championships, you can't understand what goes on. You can fly a perfect flight and get hammered. First, many country's judges NEVER judge at all between F3A World Championships. Many poor judges, in my opinion, are at EVERY F3A World Championships. Just why some countries continue to send the same poor judges, again my opinion, over and over, I don't understand. Second, it seems that there is an understanding on how scoring will be done among some countries' judges. For example, at one F3A World Championships, flying far out not only was not downgraded, but flying at 150 meters, where the aircraft is supposed to be, was downgraded. At others, rules will be "bent" by the judges and it is up to the pilots and team managers to figure out what (that's not in the rules) the judges are looking for. At the 1995 F3A World Championships in Kasaoka, Japan, I was the U.S. judge. During the Preliminaries, one country's judge was censured in front of all the other judges for scoring the pilots from his country's team too high. Then, in the Finals, I found out later that it was determined that I was favoring the U.S. pilots, but I did not, to my knowledge, change my judging standards. Apparently I either didn't judge fairly, or I didn't get the word that the judging standards were to be changed for the Finals. You can ask Tony Stillman, Quique Somenzini, Chip Hyde, Jason Shulman, Sean McMurtry, or any other active pilots at the F3A world- class level, what they think of F3A World Championships judges. Just don't ask them to do it publicly, where any F3A judges might read/ hear it, or they would be sure to be 'rewarded' by those judges at the next F3A WC.

If you've never critically watched an F3A World Championships, you can't understand what goes on. You can fly a perfect flight and get hammered. First, many country's judges NEVER judge at all between F3A World Championships. Many poor judges, in my opinion, are at EVERY F3A World Championships. Just why some countries continue to send the same poor judges, again my opinion, over and over, I don't understand. Second, it seems that there is an understanding on how scoring will be done among some countries' judges. For example, at one F3A World Championships, flying far out not only was not downgraded, but flying at 150 meters, where the aircraft is supposed to be, was downgraded. At others, rules will be "bent" by the judges and it is up to the pilots and team managers to figure out what (that's not in the rules) the judges are looking for. At the 1995 F3A World Championships in Kasaoka, Japan, I was the U.S. judge. During the Preliminaries, one country's judge was censured in front of all the other judges for scoring the pilots from his country's team too high. Then, in the Finals, I found out later that it was determined that I was favoring the U.S. pilots, but I did not, to my knowledge, change my judging standards. Apparently I either didn't judge fairly, or I didn't get the word that the judging standards were to be changed for the Finals. You can ask Tony Stillman, Quique Somenzini, Chip Hyde, Jason Shulman, Sean McMurtry, or any other active pilots at the F3A world- class level, what they think of F3A World Championships judges. Just don't ask them to do it publicly, where any F3A judges might read/ hear it, or they would be sure to be 'rewarded' by those judges at the next F3A WC.

I am sure you could tell us more. But I understand the predicament that a pilot(s) and some judge(s) face when competing at that level, and heaven forbid, even at a local or national level. Quite frankly-I am a little disillusioned about the whole thing, while at the same time realising it is a fact of life as an F3A flier/national competitor!! But IF no one talks about it-then the only choice we have is to perpetuate a system that quite frankly is ill. Something needs to be done or else the W/C become a meaningless exercise and expense for pilots and a Gravy train for judges. Unless one has represented at a National level, it is almost impossible to comprehend the enormous sacrifice that is made both financially and personal by these guys. True, we choose our own poison and therefore we have nothing to complain about...but...the W/C is the pinnacle of our sport. It is on a path to mediocrity! I just wished I was financially sound/mad enough to justify spending 10 grand or more for the pleasure of doing a mere four flights, then being judged by a bunch of roosters who may have already determined beforehand who flies good enough to warrant their 'vote'??? The sad thing is, I doubt it's deliberate, and if it is, then we have a REAL problem Let's face it; it almost seems universal that this years results were not correct. There...I said it!! True-I have nothing to worry about as I am not on the world stage-therefore I can express an opinion. But when I hear about the things that I continue to hear about at a worlds-then what is one to do??? Deliberately fly incorrectly?? The stall turns were not stall turns, the snaps were not snaps, the spins were not spinning, wings level was 15 to 25 deg wings down?????? I am quite capable of flying to what the judges want...but it is wrong, the judges should want what the rule book says, NOT what the PR profile might be of either a country or pilot. Speak up lads...the system is broken, and we need to fix it or else the W/C will be about as interesting as the election of your local politician!!!

During the Preliminaries, one country's judge was censured in front of all the other judges for scoring the pilots from his country's team too high. Then, in the Finals, I found out later that it was determined that I was favoring the U.S. pilots, but I did not, to my knowledge, change my judging standards. Apparently I either didn't judge fairly, or I didn't get the word that the judging standards were to be changed for the Finals. You can ask Tony Stillman, Quique Somenzini, Chip Hyde, Jason Shulman, Sean McMurtry, or any other active pilots at the F3A world- class level, what they think of F3A World Championships judges. Just don't ask them to do it publicly, where any F3A judges might read/ hear it, or they would be sure to be 'rewarded' by those judges at the next F3A WC.

It's another direct sequence spead spectrum radio which supposedly has the capability to switch to an alternate channel if a lot of interference is being experienced on the (single) channel that it occupies. By some reports, that switchover mechanism wasn't working when first released. By now, who knows. It's basically a Zigbee based radio, not really designed for airborne apps, actually more suited to distributed mesh networks. Apparently it works, but I think it's less than ideal for RC aircraft.

I don't want to spend $1400 on a new transmitter that will be out of style in the near future. Matter of fact, you can buy conversion kits from German companies (Weatronics and ACT) that are better than both DSM and FASST. The Germans use frequency hopping where the transmitter and receiver talk back and forth to each other. These German systems aren't cheap but they are certainly better than what we have in the US. Regardless of what system you go with 2.4 GHz is better than 72 MHz. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed Alt" To: "NSRCA List" Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2009 12:53:37 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Spectrum and Hobbico... new 2.4 alternatitve Are you aware of situations where DSM doesn't work?

Either Europe will eventually approve DSM2 or JR will switch to frequency hopping worldwide. This solution will afford me more time to see what JR decides to do.

FASST, JR, or Airtronics; things work just fine. I could see the initial idea that Horizon had with Spektrum to get the world moving to Spread Spectrum with their modules, but I think that time has passed us by. As far as preserving the value of an investment in a transmitter by moving to another brand of receivers with a module - why? Go with a brand you like and don't look back to gimmicks to cross over part way. You always lose something in the process.

I will admit that I bought the Spektrum module for one of my old Futaba transmitters, so that I could do the "bind-n-fly" thing as well. I will tell you guys a funny story. I was at Efest this year. I was flying a Vapor over in the corner for the ultralight planes, and heard someone walk up behing a friend of mine (Jeff Phillips, Radioactive Airshow Team) and start asking him how he liked the Vapors. Well, I thought it must be someone who had never flown a Vapor, so I turned around and handed him my transmitter, an old Futaba 7UA with a Spektrum module, so he could fly it. It happened to be Peter Goldsmith. :-) I wish I had said "feel the difference" to him. Bob R. --- On Tue, 9/22/09, John Pavlick wrote: Bill, You are a one-percenter among the one-percenters!

The Aresti shows the model approaching from the left. As the first radius is completed and the model assumes a vertical track, the requirement is to execute 3 points of?a 4 point roll centered on the upline with the stall turn executed at the apex of the line. Due to the fact that I like to present the canopy to the judges on the stall I will roll left on the upline (trust me, I can do it either way and I realize there is no mandate,?it's just my own aesthetic preference). Now comes the sticky wicket,......on the down line I will be rolling to the right?in preparation for the entry radius into the integrated 1/2 outside. The fact that the 1/4 roll was also centered on the downline will display that outside preparation position for the 1/2 duration of the downline. My question is: .........as I enter the bottom radius and start my roll, is there a roll direction requirement? If I roll LEFT (which will present the canopy) the judges could easily become confused and think that I'm doing an inside 1/2 loop at the?bottom, which is really not the case as I had to push to initiate the 1/2 loop. If I roll to the RIGHT the last 1/2 of the loop looks like an inside 1/2 loop. So, I guess?my basic question is, am I free to roll according to my whim?? ?? I was unable to find any written FAI maneuver descriptions on our site. Is there a link that I'm missing?

The Aresti shows the model approaching from the left. As the first radius is completed and the model assumes a vertical track, the requirement is to execute 3 points of a 4 point roll centered on the upline with the stall turn executed at the apex of the line. Due to the fact that I like to present the canopy to the judges on the stall I will roll left on the upline (trust me, I can do it either way and I realize there is no mandate, it's just my own aesthetic preference). Now comes the sticky wicket,......on the down line I will be rolling to the right in preparation for the entry radius into the integrated 1/2 outside. The fact that the 1/4 roll was also centered on the downline will display that outside preparation position for the 1/2 duration of the downline. My question is: .........as I enter the bottom radius and start my roll, is there a roll direction requirement? If I roll LEFT (which will present the canopy) the judges could easily become confused and think that I'm doing an inside 1/2 loop at the bottom, which is really not the case as I had to push to initiate the 1/2 loop. If I roll to the RIGHT the last 1/2 of the loop looks like an inside 1/2 loop. So, I guess my basic question is, am I free to roll according to my whim? I was unable to find any written FAI maneuver descriptions on our site. Is there a link that I'm missing?

We (the NSRCA and the AMA) can only control which US judge is presented to the CIAM - we should also not influence how other countries select their judges either. That is their right and they control that process. Making statements that the WC's are somehow using judges that don't judge by the rules isn't fair to those judges that judged at the WC's at all. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but let's at least give them (judges) the benefit of the doubt in that they judged the flights according to the way they saw it. Please remember that there are 20 judges there and I seriously doubt that the majority of them were in collusion and were determined to pick "their" guy as the champion. Also please remember that in the finals, 5 judges were only judging the left turnaround maneuvers only, 5 different judges were judging the right turnaround maneuvers only, and 10 different judges were judging the center maneuvers only. No one is perfect if they missed seeing a line off by 5/10/15 degrees, or an over/under rotation on a roll (snap) by 5/10 degrees. I'll leave you with a quote - "Try as hard as we may for perfection, the net result of our labors is an amazing variety of imperfectness. We are surprised at our own versatility in being able to fail in so many different ways.". -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I don't want to spend $1400 on a new transmitter that will be out of style in the near future. Matter of fact, you can buy conversion kits from German companies (Weatronics and ACT) that are better than both DSM and FASST. The Germans use frequency hopping where the transmitter and receiver talk back and forth to each other. These German systems aren't cheap but they are certainly better than what we have in the US.

I don't like the DSM2 technology, I feel frequency hopping is a superior technology not to mention you can't use DSM2 in Europe. Either Europe will eventually approve DSM2 or JR will switch to frequency hopping worldwide. This solution will afford me more time to see what JR decides to do. So I plan to try this module out on my foamies and park flyers and if I experience no problems I will use it in my pattern planes come this spring unless JR makes a switch to frequency hopping.

FASST, JR, or Airtronics; things work just fine. I could see the initial idea that Horizon had with Spektrum to get the world moving to Spread Spectrum with their modules, but I think that time has passed us by. As far as preserving the value of an investment in a transmitter by moving to another brand of receivers with a module - why? Go with a brand you like and don't look back to gimmicks to cross over part way. You always lose something in the process.

I must have a dozen 2.4g receivers now. I have nothing against the JR/Spektrum, a lot of my friends fly JR (I am in a very small minority in my club flying Futaba). I will admit that I bought the Spektrum module for one of my old Futaba transmitters, so that I could do the "bind-n-fly" thing as well. I will tell you guys a funny story. I was at Efest this year. I was flying a Vapor over in the corner for the ultralight planes, and heard someone walk up behing a friend of mine (Jeff Phillips, Radioactive Airshow Team) and start asking him how he liked the Vapors. Well, I thought it must be someone who had never flown a Vapor, so I turned around and handed him my transmitter, an old Futaba 7UA with a Spektrum module, so he could fly it. It happened to be Peter Goldsmith. :-) I wish I had said "feel the difference" to him. Bob R. --- On Tue, 9/22/09, John Pavlick wrote: Bill, You are a one-percenter among the one-percenters! LOL I actually bought the Spektrum module with Rx for my Futaba 12Fg because it was such a good deal. I'm going to use this setup for indoor this year with some of those really small Spektrum receivers. It's also great for the E-Flite Bind-N-Fly models. I just didn't see the point in going "the other way" but I guess in your case it makes sense.

I assume that event of this level requires that judges are calibrated before the contest.? This is more important in this case because they came from all continents.? In 2003 I have the opportunity to organize the flying judging for the US Scale Masters.? We had 60?pilots in 4 dasy ?of flying.??We had 12 judges.??We started to practice judging one year before the contest.??Yes, one year.? We meet every two weeks to study the rule book and make sure all understood the rules.? We went to local airports to see real planes landing and taking off to get the speed perception that is very important in?scale competition.? Around two months before the contest we invited pilots to fly scale planes in front of us.? We judged and discussed the downgrades after each fly.? At the end of this process?all judges were withing one?1/2 point.? I had only one pilot?complaining?because he got zeros from 4 judges in two rounds.? He asked me why.? I?judged one of the round.? This?pilot was flying?a C-47 that was a work-of-art.??The engines?came to life with electric starters so he?never touched the plane when got ready to fly.??He also dressed like the real C-47 pilots in that time.? It was amazing.? However, he forgot the rule that the center of the runway is the dead line and he crossed that line in two rounds in two?maneuvers.? Believe me, it is hard to write that zero in that particular case.? All judges were so well calibrated and understood the rules that they were sure when?they wrote the zero.???It was very easy for me to explain to that pilot.?? This was?my best aeromodeling experience.? If someone wants to see pictures I have a?power point file with pictures of this event.? Just send me an e-mail?and I will send you?the file.? In conclusion,??I?really think that judges for the WC has to be at the site at least one week before the contest.? During the week prior they should have?calibration/re-training activities.? I am sure that they will find a lot of?pilots that will be willing to fly so they can practice.??????

I assume that event of this level requires that judges are calibrated before the contest. This is more important in this case because they came from all continents. In 2003 I have the opportunity to organize the flying judging for the US Scale Masters. We had 60 pilots in 4 dasy of flying. We had 12 judges. We started to practice judging one year before the contest. Yes, one year. We meet every two weeks to study the rule book and make sure all understood the rules. We went to local airports to see real planes landing and taking off to get the speed perception that is very important in scale competition. Around two months before the contest we invited pilots to fly scale planes in front of us. We judged and discussed the downgrades after each fly. At the end of this process all judges were withing one 1/2 point. I had only one pilot complaining because he got zeros from 4 judges in two rounds. He asked me why. I judged one of the round. This pilot was flying a C-47 that was a work-of-art. The engines came to life with electric starters so he never touched the plane when got ready to fly. He also dressed like the real C-47 pilots in that time. It was amazing. However, he forgot the rule that the center of the runway is the dead line and he crossed that line in two rounds in two maneuvers. Believe me, it is hard to write that zero in that particular case. All judges were so well calibrated and understood the rules that they were sure when they wrote the zero. It was very easy for me to explain to that pilot. This was my best aeromodeling experience. If someone wants to see pictures I have a power point file with pictures of this event. Just send me an e-mail and I will send you the file. In conclusion, I really think that judges for the WC has to be at the site at least one week before the contest. During the week prior they should have calibration/re-training activities. I am sure that they will find a lot of pilots that will be willing to fly so they can practice.

The Aresti shows the model approaching from the left. As the first radius is completed and the model assumes a vertical track, the requirement is to execute 3 points of a 4 point roll centered on the upline with the stall turn executed at the apex of the line. Due to the fact that I like to present the canopy to the judges on the stall I will roll left on the upline (trust me, I can do it either way and I realize there is no mandate, it's just my own aesthetic preference). Now comes the sticky wicket,......on the down line I will be rolling to the right in preparation for the entry radius into the integrated 1/2 outside. The fact that the 1/4 roll was also centered on the downline will display that outside preparation position for the 1/2 duration of the downline. My question is: .........as I enter the bottom radius and start my roll, is there a roll direction requirement? If I roll LEFT (which will present the canopy) the judges could easily become confused and think that I'm doing an inside 1/2 loop at the bottom, which is really not the case as I had to push to initiate the 1/2 loop. If I roll to the RIGHT the last 1/2 of the loop looks like an inside 1/2 loop. So, I guess my basic question is, am I free to roll according to my whim? I was unable to find any written FAI maneuver descriptions on our site. Is there a link that I'm missing?

We (the NSRCA and the AMA) can only control which US judge is presented to the CIAM - we should also not influence how other countries select their judges either. That is their right and they control that process. Making statements that the WC's are somehow using judges that don't judge by the rules isn't fair to those judges that judged at the WC's at all. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but let's at least give them (judges) the benefit of the doubt in that they judged the flights according to the way they saw it. Please remember that there are 20 judges there and I seriously doubt that the majority of them were in collusion and were determined to pick "their" guy as the champion. Also please remember that in the finals, 5 judges were only judging the left turnaround maneuvers only, 5 different judges were judging the right turnaround maneuvers only, and 10 different judges were judging the center maneuvers only. No one is perfect if they missed seeing a line off by 5/10/15 degrees, or an over/under rotation on a roll (snap) by 5/10 degrees. I'll leave you with a quote - "Try as hard as we may for perfection, the net result of our labors is an amazing variety of imperfectness. We are surprised at our own versatility in being able to fail in so many different ways.". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ NSRCA-discussion mailing list NSRCA-discussion at lists.nsrca.org http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Some of our districts did or does have this feature but it is not uniformly implemented. You can also see who is registered for a contest, how many people are going, how many in each class, etc. Once the contest is complete the scoring program that they use generates a report that gets uploaded to the web as results for that contest. This is a very interesting feature. Final results with round scores including dropped rounds etc are posted. If you click on your name or any pilot you will see all of their individual scores for the contest. No need to rummage through scoring sheets to find yours.

No doubt their 1000 is the cream of the crop- but it's a bit pricy, IMO. At last glance, the Home Depot generator weighed very near what the Honda weighs-unless I read the stats for the wrong model. As long as it handles the job, I'm satisfied .Keep the oil clean and keep it from over-heating and it should last. The HD warranty for one year is a good way out if it is a bomb. They said that they would repair it for free or issue a refund . Now, someone out there must have one to give us a report.

It is the same as the Honda, same size, weight, sound, but less cost. #1 selling brand in Europe they claim. Spend the extra $175 over the home depot noise maker.

Probably the least expensive option is this: http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200313480_200313480 ? It is two stroke, so you have to mix fuel, and the exhaust smells a little, but I've seen these run and they are not that bad. ? I just recently sold my old motorhome and bought a small toyhauler. I needed a good generator that was able to run my A/C. I've been following a generator thread on www.rv.net for a while now, and the general consensus on 3500w generators was that the Champion RV ready models are the best buy, so I bought one from Lowes for $329. http://www.championpowerequipment.com/40026.php Works great. Not as quiet as the Honda inverter models, but cost a small fraction of those. It is much quieter than most of the generators running at my clubs recent Fly-For-Tots event, including some of the built-in Onans in some of the motorhomes. It is heavy, though. ? My long range plans include saving money so I can buy a couple of the Honda 2000w inverter model generators. Two can be ganged together for 4000w and run the camper. One can be used for charging airplanes. But, for less than the cost of one of these, I can now do both, seperately. ?

I need a better 3 blader on this thing to get the vertical penetration where it needs to be. Probably will pick up a Mezjlik 28.5x12x3. I'm flying it at a fairly slow pace and still getting used to how the old Carden lumbers through snaps compared to a pattern bird. Once I get its snap behavior back in my head, and sort out that roller going from R-L, it will be fine. When I turn the sequence around and do the roller L-R it works out fine, but I can't get the wind to cooperate lately. It's just surface rust, I've not been practicing rollers in any meaningful way for a long time now. I'm also constrained by the local field boundaries so keeping the roller in tight and looking like anything reasonable is a challenge too. What's the word on a new sequence for 2010?

Thanks for doing so. The sequence is difficult. While flying it myself, I did like the challenge of making the 40% plane fit in the box, and having centered maneuvers again. I'm not sure where it will all go, but thanks for making the effort to give it a shot!!!

I brought my 40% Carden out of mothballs last weekend to work on the F3M stuff and all I wanted to do was fly it like a pattern airplane. Ofcourse it doesn't quite measure up, but I found that I really have no enthusiasm left for wapping through rolls where the only skill involved is being able to stop on time. I admit, on the last flight of the day I digressed and did about 10 minutes of 3d-ish garbage, until I finally realized that it was really not very satisfying. Foamies are more fun these days than knocking the sticks around on a 40 % gasser. I guess I'm just getting old...

You can adjust to ANY height you want and still have equal length lines. They both grow or shrink as needed.

You could add 1 more 1010 on each Iota and have about 3 amps at 10s left for each. No, I don't have 6 1010s...but the 2kw generator is popular at the field . I leave the small voltage jumper plug in my Iotas all the time - bumps output voltage from something like 13.4 to 14.2V, which should make the 1010s run a little more efficiently.

Question, does that power supply have the dual outputs on it to allow me to hook two chargers to it?

I am having the internal debate between the Honda I-2000 and Iota 75A or the Honda I1000 and Iota 55A. It is nice to have the excess capacity and the whole use it at home thing if the lights go out, but the reality is I will rarely use it at home and rarely charge more than two packs at a time. My tendency is to travel light and try to keep the expense down a bit. It's hard when the upgrades are only a little bit more expensive and a little heavier. ________________________________ From: Richard Strickland To: NSRCA Sent: Monday, September 28, 2009 4:45:56 PM Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Iota 55 power supply questions What are you going to use at home??

I take 4 flight packs to the field and only charge one flight pack at a time. I usually don't fly more than 6 flights in a session anyway. So I only charge 2 packs at the field most of the time with 4 sets of batteries. Now with the price of Rhinos and Zippys as they are, you could even go with 6 flight packs and not need a generator at all. You definitely need a minimum of two charger setups though.

Scott, KS. Their contest was held this weekend and it was just as much fun this year as all the years in the past. A small club with a huge amount of hospitality. It is great to fly at a club that seems to really enjoy all of us being there. Great job BBRC and great work Todd.

Is there any reason I would not be able to charge two 10S 5000 packs at 5 amps each with that set up? Where is the best place to buy an Iota power supply?

I cut two strips of K&S brass about ? wide, .090 thick, and two inches long to make two lugs (one positive and one negative) similar to what you plug into a typical 110v wall outlet. On one end of each of those lugs, I soldered the wires directly from my chargers, pos to pos and neg to neg plus an additional wire for an auxiliary banana plug outlet. Then I put heat shrink over the wires and solder joint so there was just enough bare brass showing to insert into each of the outputs from the Iota. The Iota has set screws that clamp down onto the brass strips. Works fine. When you get your Iota, this explanation will make sense. If you want a more ?flexible? setup, you could go with all banana jacks to facilitate plugging and unplugging your chargers as you choose. If I had to remove mine for repairs or whatever, I?d have to unsolder the connections. Haven?t had the need so far with either the 1010?s or the CellPros.

Eddie ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Moon To: General pattern discussion Sent: Monday, September 28, 2009 10:01 PM Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Iota 55 power supply questions Just to add something here, most banana jacks from Radio Shack are rated at 10 amps and that is light considering the charger running at 5amps output into a 10S pack will be drawing 22-25 amps from the power supply. And if you use the Iota as a battery charger for a deep cycle some time (it's other designed purpose), it will output up to it's rated current (55amps) if needed, which will make your banana jacks into a melted blob. Don't ask me how I found out.... I do use banana jacks and found some rated at 15amps which work for the 22amp charger current ok.

And if you use the Iota as a battery charger for a deep cycle some time (it's other designed purpose), it will output up to it's rated current (55amps) if needed, which will make your banana jacks into a melted blob.? Don't ask me how I found out.... I do use banana jacks and found some rated at 15amps which work for the 22amp charger current ok. Chris Verne Koester wrote: The Iota only has one positive and one negative post. I cut two strips of K&S brass about ? wide, .090 thick, and two inches long to make two lugs (one positive and one negative) similar to what you plug into a typical 110v wall outlet. On one end of each of those lugs, I soldered the wires directly from my chargers, pos to pos and neg to neg plus an additional wire for an auxiliary banana plug outlet. Then I put heat shrink over the wires and solder joint so there was just enough bare brass showing to insert into each of the outputs from the Iota. The Iota has set screws that clamp down onto the brass strips. Works fine. When you get your Iota, this explanation will make sense. If you want a more ?flexible? setup, you could go with all banana jacks to facilitate plugging and unplugging your chargers as you choose. If I had to remove mine for repairs or whatever, I?d have to unsolder the connections. Haven?t had the need so far with either the 1010?s or the CellPros. ? Verne ?

Thank you Mr. Mueller! Question, does that power supply have the dual outputs on it to allow me to hook two chargers to it? It is really convenient to be able to plug banana plugs right into the power supply as I currently do with my Pro Peak. From the looks of it, that is not necessarily designed for "civilized" hobby use. I am looking for something that can power two 1010C chargers with reliable clean power that I can just plug right into, or "Idiot Resistant"?as my momma would say.

While we only had 22 contestants, we still had a great time. The weather cooperated (just a short rain shower late Saturday) and we got in lots of good flying. It was great seeing everyone again, and I sure hope to get back to some pattern flying in 2010. If I can just get our local club to do some work on the runway so I don't rip out the gear in my Brio every time!!!!

I can only focus for so many flights during a practice session. Unfortunately with the shorter E flight times I still have to get in almost twice as many flights as I normally would with glow to get through the sequence the same number of times. I can get through the sequence twice with a little time left over flying glow, with my electric set up I can get through once plus a couple of extra maneuvers. So air time will be similar doing 5 glow flights or 10 electric flights. For those flights I need to show up with charged?packs then get?at least a couple of them back on the charger once they are used.? The great thing about the pattern group we have growing in our area is that we get a great rotation going so it never feels like I am just flying back to back to back. When my turn to fly comes up I am excited about it and have had enough time to think about what I did poorly the last flight. I take off focused with two to three experienced pattern pilots watching to critique my performance. ________________________________ From: Earl Haury To: General pattern discussion Sent: Tuesday, September 29, 2009 10:01:27 AM Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Iota 55 power supply questions ?

The problem is the 12X gimbal was changed and the threaded length is not as long as the older style gimbal. On the 12X the stick have threads the entire length. The older style sticks have about 3/8? of non threaded portion then the threads start inside the stick. If you try and use the Long Red JR sticks the 34mm ones they will not screw on the 12X gimbal because the threads do not contact. What you can do and I have done it on my 12X is cut about 1/8? off the bottom of the aluminum stick. Then it will thread on and work just fine. The length is then about the same as when used on the 9303 or 10X. The only problem is they will not thread go shorted as they will bottom out on the gimbal. The newer octagon shaped 12X stick both the ones that comes on the TX stock and the newer long and short versions will work just fine on all the 9303?s and 10X?s out there. These have the threads all the way down on the inside of the stick. It?s the same thread and will work. You can actually make them longer than the older style because the threads go all the way down. I have been flying the older style red 34mm sticks since the 12X came out. Just a little modification and they work great. There is a short straight diameter section right at the bottom of the aluminum stick?Remove this constant diameter part and the older style sticks will thread right on. The other versions of the JR sticks that are colored and all will work also on the 12X they are the same thread. The only ones that are a problem are the super long ones that have the larger diameter. Hope this answers the confusion. I can post up a photo if needed.

I found that I really only needed 6 electric flights for the equivalent of 4 glow flights with 2 sequences which was a typical practice session for me. Six and maybe 7 tops before diminishing returns were realized. Flying one sequence with the electric really contest hardens you. You know you only have one chance to do it right in a flight and you focus more on the task at hand. I also found that the work load is less with electric at least when I compared it to flying my previous planes with a 140RX and Webra 160.

I can only focus for so many flights during a practice session. Unfortunately with the shorter E flight times I still have to get in almost twice as many flights as I normally would with glow to get through the sequence the same number of times. I can get through the sequence twice with a little time left over flying glow, with my electric set up I can get through once plus a couple of extra maneuvers. So air time will be similar doing 5 glow flights or 10 electric flights. For those flights I need to show up with charged packs then get at least a couple of them back on the charger once they are used. The great thing about the pattern group we have growing in our area is that we get a great rotation going so it never feels like I am just flying back to back to back. When my turn to fly comes up I am excited about it and have had enough time to think about what I did poorly the last flight. I take off focused with two to three experienced pattern pilots watching to critique my performance.

I take 4 flight packs to the field and only charge one flight pack at a time. I usually don't fly more than 6 flights in a session anyway. So I only charge 2 packs at the field most of the time with 4 sets of batteries. Now with the price of Rhinos and Zippys as they are, you could even go with 6 flight packs and not need a generator at all. You definitely need a minimum of two charger setups though.

By super long, which one are you talking about? I was trying to see if the JRPA146 (gimbal stick ends: 12x Long) fits on the 9303 so that I can start using the dubro tray this winter. http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=JRPA146 I do have JRPA047 which is also a long one (about 10mm longer than JRPA045 34mm/red and comes with longer thraded stick), but don't want to pull the threaded stick out of the gimbals to make it long enough. I also have no idea how to put in the threaded stick to the gimbal.

By contrast This one will work on all the others and if slightly modified will also fit the 12X http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=JRPA045 This is the stick I and using on my 12X right now. I don't think the really long and fat ones here http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=JRPA047 I don't know if these work on the 12x but they do on the older radios. I don't use them because they are too large of diameter and length for me. So I can't tell you how to change them...... Bottom line if you are using on a 9303 ANY of the sticks you buy from JR will work. That means all of the JR stick options will work on the 9303 I hope this clears the confusion for you.....

I'm attaching a short description of each area that we need help with - I'm sure that several of these can be combined into one position. If you are interested in helping out it would be greatly appreciated. Each bullet point is a coordinator position and can form their own committee with helpers to help with the item. 1. Judges Coordinator - the majority of the judges will be arriving/departing around the same day/time and we should arrange a mini-van or mini-bus to pick them up and transport them to their hotel in Muncie and then to drop them off at the airport in Indianapolis. All the judges are given "goodie" (gift) tote bags as a souvenir - this person is responsible for procuring the bags (working with the AMA on this perhaps) and then filling them with stuff such as a t-shirt/cap/jacket along with some other local Indiana or USA souvenir items. We also need to ensure that the judges are picked up at their hotel in the morning and taken to the AMA flying site - 2 trips a day (morning judging session and afternoon judging session). This will probably entail renting a van/mini-bus large enough to transport about 42 people maximum (judge plus their caller/scribe). 2. Jury Member Coordinator - very similar to the judges coordinator except that there will only be 3 jury members and I'm sure that only 1 or 2 of them will need transportation. I think this position can be combined with #1. 3. Practice Field Coordinator - probably should be located in the Muncie area (or close to it) to help solicit flying fields for practice sites for prior to the event and during as well. We'll need to get the GPS coordinates and detailed directions on how to get to the clubs so that we can publish this in one of the bulletins. 4. Opening Ceremony Coordinator - arranges for the Master of Ceremony for the opening ceremony. Works with the AMA to have flag poles for all the country flags to be displayed along with the FAI flag, AMA flag and US flag. Arranges for escorts for each country when they are marching in to their positions under their country flag (could be cub scouts). Arranges for each countries national anthem to be played during the entry by that country at the opening ceremony march. Arranges for any special activities that will take place during the opening ceremony such as skydivers, full size plane fly-bys etc. Arranges for speakers at the opening ceremony - such as Jim Cherry, CIAM President (if present), local Muncie mayor (perhaps). 5. Closing Ceremony Coordinator (could be combined with #4) - arranges for the Master of Ceremony for the closing ceremony. Works with the AMA to have the country flags of the top 3 pilots to be available for raising during the prize giving ceremony. Arranges for the national anthems to be played for the top 3 pilots during the prize giving and flag raising. Arranges for the flags of the top 3 country teams to be available for raising during the prize giving. Arranges for the national anthems to be played for the top 3 country teams during the prize giving and flag raising. Arranges for speakers at the closing ceremony such as Jim Cherry and the CIAM president. Arranges for the FAI flag to be handed over to the next country hosting the World Championship. 6. Banquet Coordinator - the AMA will help with procuring the facility (more than likely the Horizon Convention Center) and perhaps the menu as well. Arranges for the Master of Ceremony for the banquet. Arranges for any special activities to take place during the banquet such as any local Muncie area entertainment. Arranges sale of banquet tickets during the event - AMA can handle the ticket sales but we'll need to ensure that tickets are available and collected at the banquet facility. Supplies detailed directions on how to get to the banquet facility. 7. Off-Day Tour Coordinator - on the rain day the judges/jury are usually taken on a site-seeing tour. Arranges tour for the judges/jury members during the off-day - perhaps the Dayton Air Museum or Indianapolis Raceway. Arranges transportation from the hotels of the judges/jury members to the tour site. Arranges meals for the judges/jury members during the day tour. Publishes detailed directions from the AMA HQ to the tour site for those that wish to drive there themselves. 8. Catering Coordinator - works with the AMA to procure a caterer that can feed the judges/jury a breakfast at their hotel (or another facility) each morning. The standard continental breakfast that is usually served at local hotels will not work to feed judges from other countries. Arranges lunch (work with the AMA) for the judges/jury members during the event - this is usually in a central location (tent) where they can be served a buffet type lunch. Arranges dinner for the judges/jury members at their hotel each night (or at a central location). Arranges snacks/coffee/water to be delivered to each flying site daily for the judges and workers - work with the AMA on this. Arranges food at the flying site (work with the AMA and their local food vendors) to be available for purchase on a daily basis for the competitors and spectators. 9. Team Registration Coordinator - work with the AMA on this. Arranges all the team packets to be picked up by the team manager - Packets to contain badges and parking passes ? badges will have pictures and names of all team members, managers, helpers and supporters. Arranges team ?goodie? bags much like the judges goodie bags. 10. Team Manager Meeting Coordinator - work with the AMA on a meeting room. The event director will hold team manager meetings prior to the event, prior to the semi-finals and prior to the finals. Arranges flight orders are available for handout at each of the meetings after the flight order selections have been made - work with the AMA to have enough copies made. 11. Judges Training Coordinator (probably can combine with #10) - work with the AMA on a meeting room. Arranges meeting room for the judges training. Ensure meeting room has a screen to show presentations. 12. Scoring Coordinator - works with the event director to ensure that scoring computers are available along with printers and a copier and any necessary tables etc. Arrange for different color printer paper to be used to print the raw score sheets for each day - in other words, yellow for day 1, blue for day 2, green for day 3, etc. Arrange to have internet access in the scoring facility for the webmaster to update the website. 13. Unknown Selection Meeting Coordinator (probably can combine with #10) - work with the AMA on a meeting room. Arrange a meeting room for the unknown selection meeting. Ensure meeting room has a screen to show presentations and unknowns. Ensure computer and color printer is available to print out unknowns. Ensure copier is available to make copies of the selected unknowns. 14. Vendor Coordinator - ideally we'd like to have a vendor tent on site that can be used for vendors to display items for sale etc. Work with the AMA to get the tent. Arranges for vendors to display their items for sale in the vendor tent. 15. Sponsorship Coordinator (same person as #14 perhaps) - Contacts all pattern related vendors and solicits sponsorships from them or advertising in the event program - Sponsorships available are for pilot/TM bibs, BBQ after the preliminary rounds are completed, banners for display at each flying site, banquet sponsorship. I have several vendors that are very interested in sponsorship already. 16. Program/Merchandise Coordinator - works with the AMA to ensure adequate supplies of t-shirts, polo shirts, sweatshirts, caps and other merchandise is available for purchase by attendees. Assembles the event program which will list each team member/photos, sponsors, letters from dignitaries, maps, etc. Arranges to have the event program printed and available for each team/attendee (perhaps a sponsor can be arranged for this printing). 17. AMA Coordinator - works with the AMA to ensure that the flying sites are set up correctly. This will include all center poles, box poles, pilot boxes, noise testing circles and ready boxes (2 at each site). Ensures that tents/canopies are available for the judges/scribes at each flying site and that there are enough chairs for the judges/scribes. Works with the AMA to ensure that the equipment needed at each flying site is available such as PA system, weight measuring scales, noise measuring equipment and digital volt meters to measure battery voltage. Works with the AMA to ensure that competitor fuel is stored in a secured area along with any batteries/equipment that is shipped to the AMA facility and is released to the appropriate people at the right time. Seems like a lot of committees/people but I think several of them can be combined into 1 person coordinating the effort. The bulk of this effort will be done prior to the WC's and the sooner we can get started (and finished) with these areas the better. The contest director will post his own list of resources that will be needed for flight lines, processing, etc. We really appreciate the offers of help and if you'd like to voluntee some time for this effort it would be very much appreciated! -Derek -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Now is the time for us as NSRCA members to step up and get the work done. If you cannot attend the event, you may be able to fill one of these positions and get all the work done prior to the WC. Or, perhaps you want to serve as a worker on the flight line. Well, you can do that, but you can also work on one or more of these committees! This course of action is exactly what Ron Van Putte and I used to setup and plan the 1999 WC in Pensacola/Navarre, FL. Derek knows that I will help in what ever area he needs. How about you? Are you willing to step up to the plate for NSRCA and AMA and the USA?

I'm attaching a short description of each area that we need help with - I'm sure that several of these can be combined into one position. If you are interested in helping out it would be greatly appreciated. Each bullet point is a coordinator position and can form their own committee with helpers to help with the item. 1. Judges Coordinator - the majority of the judges will be arriving/departing around the same day/time and we should arrange a mini-van or mini-bus to pick them up and transport them to their hotel in Muncie and then to drop them off at the airport in Indianapolis. All the judges are given "goodie" (gift) tote bags as a souvenir - this person is responsible for procuring the bags (working with the AMA on this perhaps) and then filling them with stuff such as a t-shirt/cap/jacket along with some other local Indiana or USA souvenir items. We also need to ensure that the judges are picked up at their hotel in the morning and taken to the AMA flying site - 2 trips a day (morning judging session and afternoon judging session). This will probably entail renting a van/mini-bus large enough to transport about 42 people maximum (judge plus their caller/scribe). 2. Jury Member Coordinator - very similar to the judges coordinator except that there will only be 3 jury members and I'm sure that only 1 or 2 of them will need transportation. I think this position can be combined with #1. 3. Practice Field Coordinator - probably should be located in the Muncie area (or close to it) to help solicit flying fields for practice sites for prior to the event and during as well. We'll need to get the GPS coordinates and detailed directions on how to get to the clubs so that we can publish this in one of the bulletins. 4. Opening Ceremony Coordinator - arranges for the Master of Ceremony for the opening ceremony. Works with the AMA to have flag poles for all the country flags to be displayed along with the FAI flag, AMA flag and US flag. Arranges for escorts for each country when they are marching in to their positions under their country flag (could be cub scouts). Arranges for each countries national anthem to be played during the entry by that country at the opening ceremony march. Arranges for any special activities that will take place during the opening ceremony such as skydivers, full size plane fly-bys etc. Arranges for speakers at the opening ceremony - such as Jim Cherry, CIAM President (if present), local Muncie mayor (perhaps). 5. Closing Ceremony Coordinator (could be combined with #4) - arranges for the Master of Ceremony for the closing ceremony. Works with the AMA to have the country flags of the top 3 pilots to be available for raising during the prize giving ceremony. Arranges for the national anthems to be played for the top 3 pilots during the prize giving and flag raising. Arranges for the flags of the top 3 country teams to be available for raising during the prize giving. Arranges for the national anthems to be played for the top 3 country teams during the prize giving and flag raising. Arranges for speakers at the closing ceremony such as Jim Cherry and the CIAM president. Arranges for the FAI flag to be handed over to the next country hosting the World Championship. 6. Banquet Coordinator - the AMA will help with procuring the facility (more than likely the Horizon Convention Center) and perhaps the menu as well. Arranges for the Master of Ceremony for the banquet. Arranges for any special activities to take place during the banquet such as any local Muncie area entertainment. Arranges sale of banquet tickets during the event - AMA can handle the ticket sales but we'll need to ensure that tickets are available and collected at the banquet facility. Supplies detailed directions on how to get to the banquet facility. 7. Off-Day Tour Coordinator - on the rain day the judges/jury are usually taken on a site-seeing tour. Arranges tour for the judges/jury members during the off-day - perhaps the Dayton Air Museum or Indianapolis Raceway. Arranges transportation from the hotels of the judges/jury members to the tour site. Arranges meals for the judges/jury members during the day tour. Publishes detailed directions from the AMA HQ to the tour site for those that wish to drive there themselves. 8. Catering Coordinator - works with the AMA to procure a caterer that can feed the judges/jury a breakfast at their hotel (or another facility) each morning. The standard continental breakfast that is usually served at local hotels will not work to feed judges from other countries. Arranges lunch (work with the AMA) for the judges/jury members during the event - this is usually in a central location (tent) where they can be served a buffet type lunch. Arranges dinner for the judges/jury members at their hotel each night (or at a central location). Arranges snacks/coffee/water to be delivered to each flying site daily for the judges and workers - work with the AMA on this. Arranges food at the flying site (work with the AMA and their local food vendors) to be available for purchase on a daily basis for the competitors and spectators. 9. Team Registration Coordinator - work with the AMA on this. Arranges all the team packets to be picked up by the team manager - Packets to contain badges and parking passes - badges will have pictures and names of all team members, managers, helpers and supporters. Arranges team "goodie" bags much like the judges goodie bags. 10. Team Manager Meeting Coordinator - work with the AMA on a meeting room. The event director will hold team manager meetings prior to the event, prior to the semi-finals and prior to the finals. Arranges flight orders are available for handout at each of the meetings after the flight order selections have been made - work with the AMA to have enough copies made. 11. Judges Training Coordinator (probably can combine with #10) - work with the AMA on a meeting room. Arranges meeting room for the judges training. Ensure meeting room has a screen to show presentations. 12. Scoring Coordinator - works with the event director to ensure that scoring computers are available along with printers and a copier and any necessary tables etc. Arrange for different color printer paper to be used to print the raw score sheets for each day - in other words, yellow for day 1, blue for day 2, green for day 3, etc. Arrange to have internet access in the scoring facility for the webmaster to update the website. 13. Unknown Selection Meeting Coordinator (probably can combine with #10) - work with the AMA on a meeting room. Arrange a meeting room for the unknown selection meeting. Ensure meeting room has a screen to show presentations and unknowns. Ensure computer and color printer is available to print out unknowns. Ensure copier is available to make copies of the selected unknowns. 14. Vendor Coordinator - ideally we'd like to have a vendor tent on site that can be used for vendors to display items for sale etc. Work with the AMA to get the tent. Arranges for vendors to display their items for sale in the vendor tent. 15. Sponsorship Coordinator (same person as #14 perhaps) - Contacts all pattern related vendors and solicits sponsorships from them or advertising in the event program - Sponsorships available are for pilot/TM bibs, BBQ after the preliminary rounds are completed, banners for display at each flying site, banquet sponsorship. I have several vendors that are very interested in sponsorship already. 16. Program/Merchandise Coordinator - works with the AMA to ensure adequate supplies of t-shirts, polo shirts, sweatshirts, caps and other merchandise is available for purchase by attendees. Assembles the event program which will list each team member/photos, sponsors, letters from dignitaries, maps, etc. Arranges to have the event program printed and available for each team/attendee (perhaps a sponsor can be arranged for this printing). 17. AMA Coordinator - works with the AMA to ensure that the flying sites are set up correctly. This will include all center poles, box poles, pilot boxes, noise testing circles and ready boxes (2 at each site). Ensures that tents/canopies are available for the judges/scribes at each flying site and that there are enough chairs for the judges/scribes. Works with the AMA to ensure that the equipment needed at each flying site is available such as PA system, weight measuring scales, noise measuring equipment and digital volt meters to measure battery voltage. Works with the AMA to ensure that competitor fuel is stored in a secured area along with any batteries/equipment that is shipped to the AMA facility and is released to the appropriate people at the right time. Seems like a lot of committees/people but I think several of them can be combined into 1 person coordinating the effort. The bulk of this effort will be done prior to the WC's and the sooner we can get started (and finished) with these areas the better. The contest director will post his own list of resources that will be needed for flight lines, processing, etc. We really appreciate the offers of help and if you'd like to voluntee some time for this effort it would be very much appreciated! -Derek -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It got him and his grad school team an 'A'; they got through the prototype stage, but never turned it into a real product.
