Hi Roger, 
On Saturday after the Team Selection contest I found a thermister still on
the field at Lost Hills. If anyone lost one, let me know. Also, I'll bring
it to the Sierra Cup this coming weekend.
Thanks to everyone who participated in putting on a terrific final.

USA Team Selection Results - Reformatted
========================================
Applogies to the readers but we were somewhat tired and
not thinking straight so after sending out the results
I realized that we had not sorted them into order and 
labelled the places... So here they are again - a bit better
presented.

Covering with Ikarex
====================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Put the stuff on with thinned contact cement and then heat shrink with a
heat gun or covering iron.
I use Evostick thinned almost to the consistency of 50% thinned dope. Cover
each panel with a single piece of Ikarex, starting under the LE, working
round the TE and ending with a small overlap so the free edge points to the
rear. If you are using different colours top and bottom, cover the top
first, wrapping the covering round the carbon TE and leaving the LE edge
free. Cover the under surface, overlapping the front edge with the flap of
upper surface material to give a small overlap and stick the TE onto the
Ikarex wrapped round the TE.

Don't Trust that Rule Book -  F1H It's Official !
Amazing that we wouldn't have got the word out sooner !    I must be 
slipping - did I miss something published about F1H ?

Yes, I confirm Pierre's statement of F1G, H & J having 10 minutes flyoff
period as from last year.

Martyn,
I confirm that  this modification  (3.G.8.b - 
3.H.8.b.- 3.J.8.b. and 3.K.8.) 10  minutes round 
instead of 15 for  fly-off, has been  adopted at the  1998 Plenary 
meeting, and is  mentioned in the  minutes of that  meeting.  
It applies to F1H,  F1G, F1J and F1K  which are  provisional 
rules, and as such, do not have  to wait for the 4 
years cycle.  So  it is already  applied since 1st  january 1999.  I 
wish you the best  for the Sierra  Cup.
Looking forward for next year...
Best regards,
Pierre

I seem to remember Goerge Batiuk making a comment about not finding
a rule to do with the processing of models that was used
at the Junior WC. George found that on the FAI Web Site
in addition to the Sporting Code there is a supplement with 
some later rules changes.... maybe it is 'printed' there]

P. King   (Climb Simulation..again)
Dear Jean,
First of all, I misunderstood you regarding the flight speed of differing 
AR's.  Of course the higher the AR the lower the CL therefore the higher the 
velocity.  
I have checked up on how I handle the effect of Re No in the climb mode and 
this is the situation with some results and graphs, attached in Exel.
In fact the Re is simulated during the climb and gave the following results 
when I ran two cases.  ie.  AA's AA30 (AR ca 15.8 and Alex's 'Long model'  AR 
ca 22 plus.
If you can download the Exel spread sheet, you will see figures for velocity, 
climb angle and CL.   They show what one would expect but notice that the 
motor run stays about the same at ca 43.5 secs in both cases.
A short summary of the comparitive performance is as follows:
            LOW AR              HIGH AR
Motor run    43.65               43.55
Glide CL     1.017               0.982
Height (m)   104.75              106.95
Duration     369 sec             397 sec
Notice the duration is slightly less for the high AR despite the higher climb 
!! (Due to Re effect on the glide at high AR.
A look at the spread sheet will show that, as we would expect, the CL is 
slightly higher for the Low AR and the Velocity is slightly lower.   An 
interesting thing I found was that the difference is far more marked at the 
end of the climb when the CL is highest.    During the 1st 2/3rds of the 
climb there is little difference in either speed or CL.   To sum up, the High 
AR Wake climbs just over two meters higher but takes an almost identical time 
to get there !!!  How does all this compare with your observations and 
calculations.   As I understand it,  the effect is similar to what you have 
noticed but the magnitude of difference is lower ??    It is very welcome to 
have all this feed back and it all helps enormously in refining the computer 
simulations.  All the best to you Jean !!

NEW EXEL GRAPHS for Climb Sim.
I have now done a better spread sheet, (See attachment), of the effects of AR 
on the F1B climb.
It now shows 3 AR's ranging from 13/1 to 22/1.  In fact the duration is 
highest at 22/1

Congratulations Lee! [e-mail sent to Lee Hines and SEN]
What a deal!  Duff fly-off though - must improve.
('What a deal' originally came from yourself or Martyn Cowley)
Here's ours:
Final team selection meeting held October 14-15 at RAF Sculthorpe,
north-west Norfolk.
Unofficial overall results (we use best two of three events and 'World Cup'
points)
F1A  John Williams, Antony Ball, Chris Edge, Reserve Mike Fantham
F1B  Mike Woodhouse, John Billam, Russell Peers, Reserve Geoff Kent 
F1C  Stafford Screen, Peter Watson, John Cuthbert, Reserve Phil Ball
I dropped one flight this weekend - 97 secs!  If I had done 102 on that
one, I would have made the team...........
Weather was good  all three events had fly-offs.  A and C to 5 mins, B to
7mins
These are excellent teams for us.
Looking forward to Endless October II - see you all there.
Regards
Mike and Lauren.
