Roger Morrel:
I am looking for a good functioning radio retrieval system, ie, Walston
or similar, for my FAI planes, preferably a system which is not
currently needed or being used. Your help would be appreciated in
putting this in the scaten. Thanks, Fred

Re:Wakefield History. The Wakefield International Cup-A History, is available
from Charles Rushing, PO Boix 1030, Sutter Creek, CA. 95685. This is the new
revised edition and covers the period from 1911-1997. The cost is $30 plus
$10 postage in the USA. Added postage for overseas is $5.00. This is an
excellent book with quotes, pictures, sketches, three views and the whole
works. A labor of love, I think.

Hi Roger,
I will be working on the san valeers annual results this week and hope to
send them in the right format to you. I had to do taxes first. I found an
old scat newsletter where you talked about it and will try to do it that
way.
I might send it both ways just to make sure when I get done. Can I send the
results in excel? Or is there something I have to do to make it presentable
in excel? I plan to have a general writeup and the results in excel.
P.S. The flyers that stayed had a great day Sunday with perfect weather so
the mini guys had a great time. We had flyoffs in two of the mini events.
F1J and Glider.
Thermals,
Terry Thorkildsen

Re: rolled tail boom mould.
===========================

There is a simple, traditional solution to the problem of making a rolled tail
boom mould.. Although I have a wood lathe, I have found that
it is not that easy
to turn a long tapering cylinder without an intermediate support that my lathe
lacks, but it is quite easy and accurate to carve it using a spokeshave.
The local hardware store sells dowels of large diameter, and a 30 mm dowel 1 m
long of some tropical wood was purchased. This had the
required maximum diameter.
the center of the minimum diameter, 7 mm was marked at
the other end, and using
Luddite tools: a drawknife and a Stanley spokeshave
the nearly finished cone was
ready in less than an hour. It was then placed in the lathe for the final
sanding. Finally I rubbed some candlewax on it.
The mould has served for several
Coupes and old-fashioned Wakes. I imagine it is more durable, less fragile than
the paper cone filled with plaster. Other SEN readers may have found the same
problem with the finished booms: the thin balsa (1/32" for Coupes, 1/16" for
Wakes) can warp easily in the drying
process after moulding it to shape. In some
cases several tries are needed to get a perfect boom. Any ideas to prevent this
happening?

Tail Boom Form

Roger: Here is a method for Rolled Tail Boom Forms that has been
mentioned in the Scatt emai. This is from the February '99 issue of
Free Flight, the NFFS Publication. I have used this method for years
and it works well. In fact, I have a box full of forms I no longer use
that I would like to get rid of. If anyone is interested I'll give them=
the dimensions. Phil Klintworth
