How does China end up ahead of the U.S. in the team standings in F1B?? =
What is the system used to determine the final standings?? Thanks!
Michael Achterberg

[ You add together the the non fly off times of the 3 team members.
Higher number is better.

To break a tie you add together the places of the members -
lower number is better]

Hi Roger,

I saw your request for comp. reports, so here is one of them:

Weather at Bodeland was outstanding. A bit of wind at F1B-C day (about 4-6
m/s). Partly cloudy, temp. around 22 deg. centigrade (cold compared to
Israelian standards).

F1B:
1. Andre Seifert
2. Jyrio Waltonen
3. Jaromir Orel
4. Mike Antor
5. Herbert Hauptmann

F1C:
1. Gert Aringer
2. Sigurd Seydel (1 second less in fly off!)
3. Uwe Gliessmann
4. Pjotr Plachepka
5. Stefan Reinwalt.

Glider day was even more pleasant, with less wind (2-4 m/s) and lots of
sun
(24 degr.).
13 Maxed out. Last fly-off (9 minutes) was completely overcast and allmost
no wind. Only Allard made the 9 minutes:

F1A (39 competitors):
1. Allard van Wallene
2. Uwe Rusch
3. Jorg Melder
4. Raimund Brinker
5. Ulf Edlund

[Thanks Allard .. We went to the Bodeland in '97 and had an
enjoyable contest, very friendly people.]

Roger,

Finally got Sal & Ann's Address:
--------------------------------

Sal & Ann Fruciano
1917 E Calle de Arcos
Tempe AZ 85284

[Sal spent some time in hospital a couple of weeks back
and Hermann supplied his new address fro those who
would like to write - we do not know if his old
e-mail address works or if that has gone to FAI Modelsupply]


Bror
----
Cezar Banks, as I recall was on 8 F1D WC teams, with 6 silver medals. Think
he had highest single flite 3 times.

Was not so bad when Bror was 100 sec behind in '93, but 1 second this year.
How many other times was he 2nd?

[I think he has been second twice - I think
his next best place in the Champs is 6th.]

World Champs info craving ..
=============================

What well known F1A flyer, many time team member called me late last
Thursday and said "Roger I just calculated the time and those guys will be
stringing out their lines for the first round. Why am I not there ?
[Because your photo is int U-Control combat section of the AMA Mag!?]

Or the multiple F1C team member and team manager who retired as a computer
person from the military and swore he would never touch a computer again in
his life .. was on the SCAT web Site looking for Champs info and now has
his own e-mail address ..
