Roger,
I don't often get involved in technical discussions, but I feel I need
to help "Mac the Bigot" with his gravity problem. I suspect that a
bigger bike will do nothing but fly better just as bigger models do. A
better solution might be a little of our gravity plus technology here on
*#&%!$#*$!@ (my home planet). If he is interested, let me know.

To Mac the Bigot
We'd love to use your photo in our next newsletter which is in the real
Land of Oz sans Dorothy and red shoes (we wear thongs on our feet
here!). Could you send me a 300dpi scan of the picture please. I promise
I'll give full credit to a bigot.
Cheers
Jan Pudney (the ever gracious one according to Richard Blackam!)

Re,- the comment on original "Gold" Wakefield cup, have you only just
discovered Charles Dennis Rushing's history of the current Wakefield ( F1B )
??
Refer to page 11, and there the summary of info appears on both the
original, and the replacement provided in 1927.

EASTERN U.S. FREEFLIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP EVENT SCHEDULE

Hi,
I am confused about the Eastern U.S. Freeflight championship event schedule.
It was my understanding from Scat Electronic News 18 Jan 2001 (I think there
was a typo here and it was dated 2000 in error) issue 533, that the F1A
rounds would be held both on Saturday and Sunday. I recently spoke to Aram
Schlosberg and learned that F1A would be held only on Sunday. Going back to
the Scat archive at: www.aeromodel.com/TM/E23198H242 (I believe this address
is case sensitive) and reviewing issue 533 again; on one line I see F1A,B,C
starting Saturday at 9:00 AM and Sunday at 8:00 AM, then I see a seperate
heading for Sunday and F1A listed under it for 7 rounds.
I could not find any other publications after this to overcome my confusion.
Would someone please clarify the issue.
Thanks,
Omer Erguner

> FORME FOR ROLLED BALSA TAIL-BOOMS
Somebody was asking about a source for these - pool cues are OK if you can
find a straight one. A method I saw used by my friend Graham Walker
(ex-F1B team memober, UK) was to roll a cone from very heavyweight mylar -
this apparently can be done 'freehand' - and tape it firmly to stop it
un-rolling. You can adjust the dimensions to suit required max and min
diameters. Then plug the small end with something suitable and pour in
plaster-of-Paris. I think Graham also may use a dowel running the length
of the mould to reinforce the plaster. Result is one very straight
boom-mould to whatever dimension you need! (I have never tried this method
myself so don't blame me if it goes wrong!) Also, it helps to soak the wood
used for the boom with dilute ammonia rather than plain water, as this
makes the balsa much more pliable. It dries out OK.

Model Radio Trackers
Trackers: these tiny micro transmitters, in combination with a 2 mt band
receiver, allow safe model retrievals in windy days, under strong thermal
activity or when the model gets lost for any reason. Simple "body shielding"
direction finding technique. Miniature surface mount circuit, crystal
controlled RF section with 30 cm music wire whip antenna. Any frequencies
on request in 2 mt band (note: may be subject to local regulations).
Epoxy waterproof sealing. With 3V lithium batteries BR435 (type V1) or
CR1225 (type V2) battery life is > 5 days. Also available without
battery-holder to use any 3V batteries/holders.
Active attenuator: pocket sized, great to speed-up the retrieval without
messing with a shortened RX antenna when approaching the model. The
adjustable attenuation allows accurate direction finding with a normal
antenna, keeping the directionality but preventing the receiver from
saturating even when the distance is as low as 10 meters. Provides over
100 dB maximum attenuation. Standard BNC connectors for quick insertion
between the receiver and its antenna. 3V button type lithium battery, 7
days battery life. Dimensions mm 40 (L) x 55 (H) x 25 (W). Weight 60 grams.
· Type V1 tracker: ultra light (< 2 grams). Miniature aluminium battery
holder for the popular sport fishing batteries (BR435/25).
Dimensions: mm 19.5 (L) x 9.5 (H) x 8.5 (W). Price 70.00 EUR each.
· Type V2 tracker: rugged and light (< 3 grams). Powered by CR1225 button
type batteries and a plastic battery holder.
Dimensions: mm 20.5 (L) x 12.7 (H) x 8.5 (W). Price 70.00 EUR each.
· Active attenuator: complete with connectors for antenna/receiver and
battery. Price 40.00 EUR.
· Battery holder for BR435. Ready to solder separate aluminium tube
holder with gold plated contacts. Price 5.00 EUR.
· Batteries BR435 lithium cylindrical. Price 5 EUR per pair.
· Batteries CR1225 lithium button type. Price 5 EUR per pair.
· HB9E: 2-element foldable directional antenna. 8.2 dB gain. 25 cm long
when closed. Standard BNC connector. Price 30 EUR.
