Big Al's Meet w/Grasshoppers
============================

Roger,
I would like to add that the Big Al's meet was indeed very enjoyable, at
least for Sunday's events.
I was definitely disappointed with the severe wind conditions when I arrived
on Saturday evening.
Had planned to do some test flying before the sun went down but instead
invaded the Diez motor home while they were sitting down for dinner!
Mentioned to a couple of sportsmen in the morning that my VW van slid
eastward about three feet during the night, and they believed me!
The first two rounds flown from the western boundary literally meant zooming
off in a straight tow release. By the third round, it began to calm down and
after watching Steve Spence zoom launch and missing that max, I reassured
myself that I should be able to circle tow a few times and search for
definite lift (which I did).
By the time we re-positioned the flight line back to the normal staging
area, conditions had vastly improved and it began to be a wonderful day to
be a human!
I eventually dropped a round and tried to further embarrass myself, but that
didn't deter the spirit of flying and really enjoying the outcome of a
wonderful day of flying.
Before leaving, I had to stay and watch the beginning of the flyoffs in F1A.
What spectacular height three of the models achieved! Doug Galbreath, Merry
Smith, Harlan, Anne and C.J. Halsey, plus myself continued to watch Martyn
Cowley's glider in tremendous lift and barely visible as it headed
southeast. When it finally DT'd, you could only spot it as the stab
continued a strobe like effect with each revolution of the spinning glider.
We finally saw it disappear behind a slight rise, taking it longer to DT
than the five minute fly off round!
Of course, the wind began to pick up and that was when I thought it was best
to leave.
Thanks Doug and Ken (Oliver) for a great contest. You guys did a tremendous
job under the circumstances and managed to re-position the line twice
without much of a delay.
Those who roughed it out I think can agree that it was worth sticking it out
for the remainder of the day.
It was really enjoyable to see the junior fliers competing; the Parkers,
Coussens, and Halseys plus parents. Overheard Tom Coussens offering to
assist Anne and C.J. at future venues with towing and circling techniques.
Way to go Tom. We were all beginners once (I still am).
Grasshoppers: I was there when Star Spence was bitten behind her ankle. If I
hadn't seen it I wouldn't have believed it. Those varmints were HUNGRY
(and/or THIRSTY)!
One hitched a ride on my trail bike all the way back to San Jose. I found
him on Monday morning when I began to clean out the van. Even without wings,
he had no intention of jumping away from me. Instead, he tested my finger to
see if it was edible! I produced a piece of rubber band from my stab and he
began trying to chew the stuff (no success). My daughter produced a piece of
lettuce as long and as large as he was (one inch) and he ate the whole damn
thing!
I've been threatened with a divorce if he consumes our garden within the
next week. Fred T.
Hot Rats at Breakfast
=====================

Roger,
The premise behind the "power breakfast" idea was that everyone who
wants to fly FAI, to the existing rules, is already doing so ! Therefore
these rules should not be changed. However, if there really is another
group of flyers who "must" have different rules, or who "want" to fly a
different form of FAI, (if only the models weren't so noisy, high-tech,
expensive or whatever), then why not let them bring their FAI approved
alternative style of models to the same contest and let the stopwatch
decide which models will win ?
Just to clarify the breakfast conversation with Doug, my suggestion
was that future rules could allow both silenced and un-silenced F1C's to
coexist at the same event. For National Aero Clubs where silencing is
not an issue, the rules remain the same (ie, no obsolescence of current
models), but in Nations where there is no other choice (or perhaps where
sportsmen choose this as an individual approach), then any exhaust
extension silencer (F1C-S), including tuned pipes, would become legal (to
simplify processing). As the adoption of such silencers will both add
performance and in any case require "new" models to be built, these
silenced models can be limited in size to 2m span (quite easy to
process). Doug's refinement of this concept was to suggest that
different length motor runs could also be used, ie if silenced F1C's
prove to have a significant advantage the run could be reduced (to 4 sec
?), or if they were generally at a disadvantage the run could even be
longer (6 or 7 sec ?), such a refinement to be dictated by the CIAM F/F
Technical Committee, based on field test results at a later date, before
Championship events.
Therefore, dare I suggest that this same concept could even be
applied to F1A and F1B. How about permitting the coexistence of the type
of "lite" models (proposed in recent email exchanges), to offer similar
trade-offs of both performance increases and decreases, which may appeal
to those not currently participating, yet without spoiling the rules for
those already "invested" in these events ?
- For F1A we could drop the weight rule (F1A-Lite) for models limited
to 2m wingspan, (which could again permit non-composite structures to be
viable at this span) surface area and towline to remain the same, (but
could also exclude Bunters for this class to limit increased performance
- again easy to process).
- A similar approach for F1B would also drop the weight rule
(F1B-Lite) for models limited to 1.2m wingspan, rubber and surface area
to remain the same (possibly also limited to non use of delayed or
variable-pitch prop hubs as a necessary offset to increased performance
- again, easy to process).
This would allow those advocates of simple and light models to show their
potential against those already enjoying the FAI event format.
I don't expect any current FAI flyers would change their style of
models in the near term, but I wonder if such a change would encourage
larger participation from those who claim to be on the side-lines, to
take the plunge and challenge the FAI guys at their own game ? This
could also be considered as an introductory phase, possibly as events for
the Junior World Champs, with simpler but equally competitive models ?
This all goes to show what can happen when the wind blows at Lost
Hills and a good breakfast at Denny's becomes the priority of the day !

Floridian
=========
From time to time we get letters that remind us of good things past. I
got e-mail from a Bill Bell asking about contest dates. Now years ago
in the early 60's I had a A/2 called the Floridian designed by Bill
Bell and flown on the US team by Betty Bell. I had some sucess with that
airplane and enjoyed flying it, so I asked Bill if he was that Bill...
Yes, I'm the Floridian Bell - at least 1/2 of the '61 member of
the U.S. A/2 team- at the contest I was known as Mr. Betty Bell !!!
After several strokes Betty died last August. I had a little talent
but she was the gung ho competitor.
Right now I'm after F1J among other events. Perhaps I'll see you at
Muncie.
Bill
[ Yes Bill I hope to make it there for one contest this year]
