Junior Team, and F1J Wants
==========================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Just returned from one of the best NATS I have ever attended. Did I do
good? Nope. Did I break airplanes? Yup. So why was it so good? Well, my
son kicked butt and found out the joys of big time model competetion.

This was the first NATS for my son John T.(15 years old). He went in
with relatively low expectations as he had never attended a meet like
this. He started with F1A, placing 5th, behind some very good glider
flying by the other seniors. Next was F1C. He was flying a low tech
Zingo with a Rossi. He got his flights in, and I think gained the
respect of the other flyers on the line (won hi point senior!). We got
to spend time with Bob Johannes (spelled correct?) and his lovely wife.
They both treated him like royalty. Thanks you! Multiple people asked
him if he was willing to try for the Junior F1J team (Art Ellis was one-
great job on the FAI event management!), which really opened his eyes to
the possibility. Also, we had a lengthy and very fruitful discussion
with the Gunders (Austin and Craig, both excellent people) that further
made the decision to try for the team positive. F1J day opened with him
flying his Galaxy. Austin walked away with the event, beating out Bob
Gutai on a following morning flyoff. John ended up "winning" the Jr/Sr
trophy because Austin beat everyone!! In our minds, Austin was first and
John was 2nd, but still, John got the first place trophy. Thanks also to
the Gutais, especially his wife that shared peaches with us in the
blazing sun.Then John won Catapult, 1/2A Gas, and ABC combined. He also
placed 5th in HLG. Five firsts outta seven trys- not bad for a rookie.
We had the honor of helping Lee Hines win F1A as well as his team of
Stan Buddenbohm and Dick Petersen. Thanks to these gentlemen for their
encourgement of John and his activities. It made it very special to him
and me. All in all, a great event! Could have been a bit cooler tho.....

So, needless to say after the encouragement of everyone, John will be
trying for the F1J team. We have a set of W Hobby Wings and a rough
standard contruction (Balsa) fuselage for them. We have a few Seeligs as
well as an AME and Cyclon (Thanks so much to the Gunders for that!) for
motivation. However, we will be needing a few more models. Can anyone
help us out there? I will be contacting Achterberg about some Odyssey
parts.

George Batiuk- I am trying to get hold of you to get the required forms
to you.

Finally, a memorial will be held for Hardy Brodersen's latest F1C. After
a day of intense testing and what looked like NATS winning performance,
a minor bit of pilot error (not charging the timer!!) resulted in a
spectacular vertical dive into the hardtop.He stated that the wings may
be repairable, but the spinner is a mess!! Sorry Hardy!!!

Diamond Saws
============

Roger,

I just want to chime in on the diamond saw blade issue. Lapidary shops
(stone cutters) use diamond bladed saws ranging from 4" to 36" to cut agate,
petrified wood etc.. The smaller blades are mounted in a table saw like
devise, belt driven and water cooled. Very nice for cutting carbon and
great for dust control. Rip fences are easily adapted to the aluminum table.

Several years ago I was browsing the vendors at the fly-in at Oshkosh. A
guy was selling diamond cutters for a Dremmel for about $4. I did not know
at the time what a bargain that was so I bought only one. These vendors are
also a good source for small bits of aluminum alloy stock and other goodies.

Is it possible that both names refer to the early military airfield in
Dayton, Ohio? The site is now called Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

USA Team Supporter Shirts and Bunt Parts
=========================================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Roger,

Please post the following in SEN.

The USA Team Supporter shirts were completed just before Dallas and I left for
the NATs. Dallas and Ben Coussens sold 30 at the Nats. I will have them at the
up coming FAI contests at Lost Hills and Las Vegas and of course at the World
Champs.

The Team supporter shirt design was conceived by Ernest Busnelli and finalized
by a professional T-shirt artist. We have returned to a Red, White and
Blue motif with all three open events represented. As indicated by the
quick sales at the NATs, this shirt will be selling quickly. This shirt is
not the "Endless October" shirt being done by Roger Simpson. The wise
sportsman will be getting at least 2 of each design! One each to keep and
others to trade at the World Champs.

I currently have a full supply of short sleeve shirts in L, XL, and XXL at 15$
ea. I have a limited supply of long sleeve L, XL and XXL at 20$ each. The most
popular size is XL-- that's the size I'm wearing, Dallas is wearing the Large
size as a reference.

I have some requests for Small and Medium T-shirts and white short sleeve
button-up collar shirts. Please contact me by the end of August by
email if you want some of these sizes. I'll be making one
last print in mid Aug


The proceeds from the shirt sales go to pay for items specifically not
paid for by the AMA Team funds. The most notable is the Jr Assistant
Manager who for this team is Austin Gunder, the current Jr F1J World
Champion. The JR Assistant Manager was started by George Batiuk several
teams ago as another incentive and reward for our younger flyers.

For those unable to get to the upcoming Lost Hills contests or if you wish
to insure you get your shirts, please send personal checks made out to
Jim Parker and mail to:

Jim Parker
9524 Ruffner Ave
North Hills, CA. 91343

Please indict if you want your shirts mailed to you or if you want to pick them
up directly from me. Add $3.00 for up to 3 shirts if you want
the shirt(s) mailed to you. Sorry, I will not be able to reserve shirts
by phone or e-mail.

Final note, I have gotten the latest shipment from Vasi of the aft F1A bunt
mechanism parts. These machined parts need final fit and assembly
but are still a deal at 35$ a set.

Thermals, Jim Parker



The NATS Experience- F1A style
===============================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

I hadn't planned to come to the NATS this year, but when Big Al's was
blown out, I impulsively blurted out to my son Ben, "Well, you're going to
the NATS". Anthony Avallone graciously offered to let Ben and me sleep in
their tent trailer, so we made reservations for a red-eye to Chicago,
then a connecting flight to Indy.

They weekend finally arrived, and Ben and I embarked on the great
adventure. Travel for the entire trip was uneventful; all baggage arrived
on time, nothing delayed. So around 10:45 Saturday morning we turned
off Memorial Drive and entered Aeromodel Heaven. Acres and acres of
mowed grass on a rolling landscape.
The impressive headquarters, RC runways, Ukie circles, picnic areas, all
well- maintained. I kept thinking, " If you build it..." and we came!
And it was ours to use, no rules lists as long as your arm, just grab your
model box unhook your chase bike and fly. What a place.

The night in the tent trailer was entertaining as thunderstorms and heavy rain
came through, but we were dry and cool, and slept like babes.

Art Ellis wisely set up the line where he thought it best to fly, and
making the tough call, started the first round on time in the middle of
a rain storm. As it turned out, the rain didn't last long and lift
was plentiful. After the second round he moved the line to the other side
of the field to accommodate the change in the wind, and we stayed there
the rest of the day. The thermals were not as turbulent as Lost Hills.
And you knew within a few seconds if the flight would go well or not, as
the ships generally climbed right out or didn't.

Flapping seemed to work in the humid air above the moist grass. Many
flyers got snookered by the short, strong puffs that lasted about one
circle then dissipated. I thought I was on rails until the 5th round
when I violated my own game plan viz the thermals and launched in
one of those puffs.

It was a kick to see such variety in gliders. In California, it's all
carbon and electronics, competition always on a keen edge. But here
along with the California bunch were the "gentleman" flyers, with their
Ritz Continentals, Top Kicks and Robins, zooming or straight-towing,
just for the love of it, hoping to get that lucky break into the fly-off.

But in the end, five maxed out, all current or former team members plus
young Michael Avallone, who clinched a team spot in the 2002 Junior W/C.
Only Lee Hines and Brian Van Nest survived the 5-minute round.
In the 7-min. round, Lee upwind found a beautiful thermal that
carried him almost speck high, while Brian
found a bubble that looked really bad, except for the valiant efforts of the
Avallone/Batiuk (yes, Batiuk!) flap crew, who kept it alive until it found
a theraml downwind. The stage was set for the 9 min. round. Once again,
Lee launched upwind into a gentle, but towering thermal,
his bunt one of the highest I'd seen at the contest. Brian, downwind,
launched into what should have been perfect position, but once again
looked doubtful. Enter the flap crew, which ran under the model the
entire flight. This was the penultimate fly-off: Lee's ship
riding a late-afternoon, gentle thermal, and Brian's ship, superbly
trimmed, riding every little puff, never higher than 1!
00 for most of its 8 minute flight. An amazing conclusion of a great day.

Special thanks to Art and Joan Ellis who tirelessy ran the entire FAI
venue through countless line changes and trying times indeed. My personal
thanks to the Avallone family for their generosity, and my appreciation
for their unbridled
enthusiasm for all things free flight. Anthony was like a liitle kid
flying his Mulvihill. The boys, Eddie and Michael flew with quiet
determination, but they being teens, they and knew how to have a good time.
We'll be back!



World Champs and the WWW
========================

'Rumours from the WC planning meeting have the attending countries
at
about 33. Attendance from former Eastern Block countries seems
down - no Armenia, no 'Stans', no Bularia or Roumania. Otherwise
plans for the event are going great- '

Roger is there any chance of some Internet coverage for the World
Champs, (somewhere on the SAT website perhaps) ?.
I know there is the one page on the AMA website but that is just the
basic facts, and not very interesting.
There is a lot of additional info that could go out, for example, just
for starters what are those 33 countries, and the names of the people on
the teams.
(Perhaps this is a case where someone could step in and assist the
webmaster, who I am sure has other things on his mind.)

+AD4- I am trying to locate Seccotine glue anywhere in the world as it seems to

be the most reliable glue to use in the making of gesso for laying gold
leaf. Any help would be greatly appreciated.+ADw-

Seccotine was a glue in France in the very old times... I built my first
glider model with it in 1953. No longer available, I think, and certainly
not in model shops. Take heart +ACE-
