MMM FAI Annual, Denver, CO
==========================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
The dates for the 24th Annual MMM FAI (America's Cup) Contest are Saturday and
Sunday, July 5th and 6th.  F1A, B, C, and P will fly 7 rounds each day (total
14), and F1G, H, J will fly the first three rounds each day (total 6). All
rounds will be 1:30 duration overlapping :30.  There will be perpetual trophies
and glassware for F1A, B, C and plaques and glassware for F1G, H, J and P.  We
will also feature a HLG/CLG shoot-out Saturday afternoon as well as P-30,
Gollywock and Open power (3 flights - not in rounds).  Saturday night will be a
"banquet" at a local restaurant.  We have a beautiful field (37.5 square miles)
of gently rolling hills with very few obstructions and great weather.  Try our
"Bed & Breakfast."  We can arrange to put you up in the home of a local flyer at
no cost.  Please contact Chuck at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to get an info
packet e-mailed to you.
We advertise this as the "Toughest FAI Contest in America" for good reason.  The
thinner air at 6100' puts a premium on air picking skills.  Of the hundreds of
sportsmen who have flown in our FAI Annual over the past 23 years, only two
completed full 14 round max-outs.  Are you up to the challenge?

No truth in that tale about the Greenhalgh Collection. It has always been
the core subject for a National Museum though I have found great difficulty
in dealings with the Science Mu despite having Exhibits boss Andrew Nahum on
our side. 2 if not 3 yrsessed the BMFA AGM on the subject and had good
support. What is needed is a Trust Fund or Donor, then a central site.
There are influential friends of Alwyn, and moves are being made Most of the

F1C Trimming
============
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
In reply to Bernard Boutillier's F1C trimming problems. I also fly large
wing span models (2.65m) with small tailplanes (4.10 sqr dms). I think your
problems are two fold: 1st your CG is to far back, I fly with 50% CG and 2nd
your moment arm is too short.I use around 1000mm measured from T.E. of wing
to L.E. of tailplane. With this set up all my models, including geared, fly
0-0 on wing and tail on the climb. Hope this is of some help.    Regards,
John Cuthbert.

F1A Bunter line Replacement
============================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Roger, for SEN
I've been helping Tyler Secor and his dad Randy come up to speed on Nordic repa
ir  due to the "line tangled around the foot" situation we have all found ourse
lves in. The Stamof aft bunt arm was broken requiring its replacement and the p
ull line that operates it. I wrote this up for them but others my find it usefu
l as well. 
Randy,
Bummer on the broken bunt arm.  I can't remember for sure the line type- it is 
most likely braided Dacron- 50# or 80#. There are several ways to go, here are 
two methods.
1. Tie on a short new piece of line. Pick off the black CA I put on to retain t
he pin and remove the pin and lever. If the line allows the lever to be pulled 
back ~2 inches, you may be able splice on a short piece of new line. Make sure 
there is enough room in the tube so the knot does not interfere with the other 
line. If the lever does not pull out far enough or there is not enough room for
 the  splice / knot, then replace the line. Also, if the line is worn else were
, go ahead and replace it.
2a. Replace the whole line. If you can CA the end of the new line to the old li
ne (cut the lines at a long angle to get more bonding surface, then you can use
 the old to pull the new thru the boom, be careful, make sure the new line is l
aid out smooth- it should pull through very easily- its a bummer to break the b
ond in the tube (if this happens, go to option 2b) This is important because th
is will keep the new line from being tangled with the existing lines (assuming 
the original lines were not tangled).
2b.If that is not possible, then hook up the existing lines so they are all tig
ht (in tension). Hold the boom vertical and carefully lower a straight piece of
 music wire or C.F. rod into the boom- carefully "feeling" for hang ups with th
e existing lines. Now use the wire / rod to pull the new line through. Release 
the other lines and move them back and forth  while holding each end of the new
 line with light tension -- extra set of hands helps here.   You're testing to 
see if the new line got wrapped around on any of the existing lines. Some peopl
e have had "funny things happen to rudder lines or bunt lines- my guess is they
've got the lines tangled. I know Victor uses a method in which he stings all t
he lines at time  to prevent tangles.
Harder to describe than to do!

TAN Super Sport and wing sections of the swift (apus apus)
===========================================================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Hi Roger,
I wonder if anybody out there knows anything about the wing sections of the
fantastic little bird, the swift (lat.: apus apus) or has seen any source
dealing with this. I would like to think that the airfoils of this little
wonderbird might be exactly appropriate for F1B propeller blades!!
Further, I have tried some January TAN SS (Super Sport) which took my models
well up, after changing from 26 strands 1/8" to 28. Has anybody tried this
new stuff?
Best regards
Jorgen Korsgaard

MISSION STATEMENT
The junior team selection program exists to provide a substantial 
opportunity to young Free Flight modelers who have demonstrated a 
high degree of interest in the sport and the willingness to 
continually improve their flying skills and the performance of their 
models.  They must demonstrate a degree of proficiency of competing 
with their models without direct adult involvement.  The purpose of 
this program is to provide a fair process of selecting the Junior 
Free Flighters to compete in the Junior FAI Free Flight World 
Championship currently scheduled for the summer of 2004 in the 
France.
1.0 Program Entry
-A participant must have a current AMA membership.
-Any person who will be under the age of 19 throughout the 
entire calendar year of 2004 is eligible. 
- Before points in America's Cup Contests can be posted, 
participants must send a program entry application (Form A) 
for the Junior Team selection process to the AMA. The 
application should be postmarked on or before July 26, 2003 
to the AMA). These requirements are needed to facilitate the 
recording of scores and the planing for timers at the pre-
Nats selection contest. There is no monetary charge for 
Junior Team selection program entry.  
-The AMA license fee and any contest entry fees are the 
responsibility of the entrant. The events to be flown are 
F1A Nordic, F1B Wakefield, and F1J /P Power.
Per the FAI, the 2004 Jr W.C. will allow either F1J or F1P 
models to be flown. F1J will use a 3-minute max and fly 7 
rounds. All other rules apply. A 4th Jr team member may also 
fly as part of the Jr W.C. power team but must only fly F1P.  
The Jr Team Selection Committee will determine at the time 
of the final team selection if a 4th member will be included. 
2.0 Junior Team Selection Committee
The Free Flight Team Selection Committee (TSC) will govern 
the Junior Program. The TSC shall appoint a Junior Team 
Selection Committee (JrTSC), which is to be composed of 
three or four adults. The JrTSC members will hold the 
following positions at a minimum: Administrator, Manager, 
Scorekeeper and Fund Raiser.  It is also desired to have one 
JrTSC member in the East, Central and West part of the 
country. Interested individuals should contact the JrTSC 
Chairman after the proceeding Junior World Championships. 
3.0.	Team Selection
The USA Junior FAI Free Flight Team Selection Program 
(JrTSP) for the 2004 World Championships will be based the 
contestant's performance in his or her two best 2003 
America's Cup contests and his or her performance at the 
2003 Nats. For the purpose of team selection only, the 2003 
Nats score will include time from a special pre-Nats contest 
as well as time from the actual Nats competition. A minimum 
of 5 completed rounds over the two Nats contest days will 
validate the Nat scores. 
A total maximum possible points of 400 will be weighted 50% 
from the Nats contests and 25% from each of his or her two 
best AC contests. The Nats contest cannot be used as an AC 
contest.
400 Total Maximum Points = 200 points (Pre-Nats  +  
Nats + 100 points 1st Best AmCup + 100 points 2nd 
best AmCup 
The pre-Nats power events will be flown to the 2004 Jr W.C. 
rules: either F1J or F1P models may be flown interchangeable 
throughout the contest.  BOTH  F1J and F1P will fly 3-minute 
max and 7 round.  They will use the normal engine run times: 
F1J, 7 seconds and F1P, 10 seconds. Because F1P will not be 
an event at the regular 2003 Nats, Jr  F1P flyers must fly 
their F1P(s) in the regularly scheduled F1J event which will 
be flown to the standard rules, i.e.7-second engine run, 2-
minute max and 5 rounds.
3.1 	Ties
The participants finishing position in the 2003 pre-Nats 
contest will break ties of the final computed points. 
If a tie still exists, then the finishing position in the 
2003 Nats contests will be used as follows:
- If a super-max is not used, the regular round times 
including any extended rounds (if used) will be used. If a 
tie still exists, then the flyoff times will be used.
- If a super-max is used, the regular round times (which 
excludes the super-max time) will be used. If a tie still 
exists, the super-max time will be used.  If a tie still 
exists, then the flyoff times will be used.
3.2 Calculation of points.
A max-out (not including super-max or fly-off time) or the 
winning time, which ever is less, will establish the maximum 
possible points: 200 points for the Nats and 100 points for 
            AmCup contests.  A contestant's time will earn points in 
proportion to the winning time.  Points will be calculated 
by rounding to the nearest tenth of a point.  All 
contestants' (i.e. including the open contestants) times 
will be used for America's Cup contests but only the times 
of juniors fliers entered in the 2004 TSP at the 2003 pre-
Nats and Nats contest will be used to calculate Jr points.
For the purpose of team selection scoring only, time from the 
pre-Nats contest will be added to time flown in the Nats event 
(super-max and fly-off time excluded). Points earned at the 
Nats will be calculated using the combined times of the pre-
Nats time and the Nats time. 
3.3 Minimum contest requirements for America's Cup points.
In order for points to be included in the JrTSC program, a 
minimum of five rounds and a max-out minimum of 15 minutes 
for F1A and F1B, 10 minutes for F1J must be flown.
3.4 Minimum performance level.
Each participant selected for the team is expected to 
achieve at least 320 points out of the possible 400 points 
in the final scoring.  
3.5 America's Cup contests
All America's Cup contests for the year 2003 may be used to 
earn points in the JrTS program. For AmCup contests 
regularly scheduled for more than seven rounds, the first 
seven rounds will be used to calculate the Jr Team Selection 
Points.
3.6 Pre-Nats Contest
On Sunday, before the start of the 2003 Nats, a special junior 
selection program contest (pre-Nats) will be held. The 
intention is to run a seven round, one-hour long rounds 
contest with three-minute maxes starting at 8:00 am.  The CD 
will have complete discretion running this contest.  No flyoff 
will be flown. 
3.6.1 Special restrictions and conditions at the pre-Nats 
Contest
The intent of the pre-Nats contest is for the junior 
participants to demonstrate their flying skills and 
proficiency. Adult involvement will be limited and individual 
pole positions and timers will be assigned.
- Access to the flight line will be limited to juniors and 
officials only. An area near the junior flight line will 
be designated for adult viewing. Junior participants 
shall not receive outside communication while on the 
flight line or when towing in the case of F1A.
- An adult that is not affiliated with the Jr flyer may 
do the initial launch to start the towing of an F1A. 
This adult must not intervene with any Jr while on 
the flight line. Specifically, they are not to check 
the model for flight worthiness and should not have 
any part in the decision when to launch. They must 
leave the flight line immediately after launching the 
F1A and return to the spectator area. 
- If outside communication is deemed by the Contest 
Director (CD) to have potentially influenced a flight, 
the CD will void the flight in question and a re-flight 
will be given. However, additional time will not be added 
to the round. 
- The junior participant may leave the flight line and 
receive help from non-program participants-.
- No special restrictions or conditions will apply during 
the actual Nats event.
3.7 Official team designation.
The top three junior flyers will then be required to 
complete the AMA team membership agreement form, which will 
be sent from Lisa Johnson at the AMA. The final announcement 
of the junior team will then be made for the 2004 Junior 
World Championships. It is the prerogative of the JrTSC not 
to select a full 9-member team as deemed appropriate due to 
the qualifications of the applicants per paragraph 3.4 
and/or funding constraints. The JrTSC will also maintain the 
authority to place late entrants in un-contested Junior Team 
positions.
4.0 	Team and Travel Requirements
Team members must have before traveling a current NAA 
membership and a passport for both travel and to verify age as 
required by FAI regulations.
The Academy of Model Aeronautics requires that all minors have 
a parent or a legal guardian with them during the Junior World 
Championship trip.  A legal guardian must have documented 
power of attorney and commit to travel with the minor and be 
responsible for the minor for the entire trip.  The Junior 
Team Manager must submit to a background check in compliance 
with AMA regulations.  The Junior Team Manager has the 
discretion to accept or not to accept the legal guardianship 
of a minor if so requested.
5.0     Financial Requirements
	AMA will provide up to $700 for travel to and from W.C. per 
team member and up to 900 Swiss Franc for WC entry fees and 
room and board per team member. Donations will be sought to 
offset any additional costs of travel and competitions. 
However, it will be the responsibility of the team member to 
pay for any additional costs if donation funds are not 
available.
7.0 	Certification of Models
Team member's models must have an identifying voucher on the 
model and a Class F Aeromodels Specification Certificate 
filled out per the FAI Sporting Code for each model.  Vouchers 
and Specification Certificates are available through AMA 
Headquarters.  The team member's models must also have 'USA' 
and the flyers AMA number on the upper surface of the wing(s) 
as specified in the FAI Sporting Code.  Other regulations are 
as specified for that model type in the FAI Sporting Code must 
be certified on the voucher.

2004  Jr Team Selection Information Bulletin Number 1       June 2003
Pre-Nats Jr Team Selection Contest Guidelines
Introduction:
This guideline is for the 2003 Pre-Nats Contest Director, Chuck 
Markos, and the registered Jr competitors from the Jr Team 
Selection Committee.
The goal is to provide a fair environment to allow the best 
performance from every competitor. The intent is to run the 
contest as similar to the currently FAI published 2004 Jr World 
Champs format as practical.  The precedence of rules shall be in 
descending order: FAI rules, AMA rules and local or site rules  
the Jr Team Selection Program (latest revision), CD directives. 
An FAI 3- person Jury will be convened if any official protests 
are submitted to the CD per FAI rules.
It is important for the Jr flyers and their helpers to know and 
understand the latest revision of the Jr Team Selection program 
that is included below. They should also be familiar the FAI 
general rules and their events rules. These can be found on the 
web at: http://www.fai.org/aeromodelling/documents/sc4.asp
As defined in the FAI rules, the CD will have authority to 
deviate from these rules to assure a sportsman like result and to 
assure the safety of all persons and property.  He will address 
the timers before the start of the contest and review general 
timing procedures and to instruct them that the timers are not to 
provide help, aid or advice to the Jr flyers.
2004 Jr Team Selection Program Review:
The following portion of the latest Jr Team Selection program is 
repeated here for emphasis:
3.6.1 Special restrictions and conditions at the pre-Nats 
Contest
The intent of the pre-Nats contest is for the junior 
participants to demonstrate their flying skills and 
proficiency. Adult involvement will be limited and 
individual pole positions and timers will be assigned.
- Access to the flight line will be limited to juniors and 
officials only. An area near the junior flight line will 
be designated for adult viewing. Junior participants shall 
not receive outside communication while on the flight line 
or when towing in the case of F1A.
- An adult that is not affiliated with the Jr flyer may do 
the initial launch to start the towing of an F1A. This 
adult must not intervene with any Jr while on the flight 
line. Specifically, they are not to check the model for 
flight worthiness and should not have any part in the 
decision when to launch. They must leave the flight line 
immediately after launching the F1A and return to the 
spectator area. 
- If outside communication is deemed by the Contest Director 
(CD) to have potentially influenced a flight, the CD will 
void the flight in question and a re-flight will be given. 
However, additional time will not be added to the round. 
- The junior participant may leave the flight line and 
receive help from non-program participants
- No special restrictions or conditions will apply during 
the actual Nats event
Contest Overview:
 
The goal of the Jr Team Selection committee and the CD is to have 
a flight line with a pole for every Jr flyer with a dedicated 
timer. However, the CD may need to combine flyers to a pole and 
allocate the timer’s time per Jr flyer should there insufficient 
timers. The CD will also establish a spectators line and insure 
all non-Jr helpers stay behind it except as noted for the initial 
start of tow for F1A's. 
Round Start Time and Length: 
Sunday, July 27, 2003, start 8:00am, one-hour rounds. Subsequent 
round start times will be announced. Be prepared to move flight 
line location due to the variable weather conditions at Muncie to 
optimize model retrieval. The goal is to complete seven rounds.
As previously stated, the CD may deviate from this format as 
needed to accommodate weather, timer issues or other relevant 
issues.
Processing:
There is no preprocessing of the models. Per standard FAI rules, 
only 4 models can be flown on a given day of competition. It is 
highly recommended that all Jr flyers have their models and 
equipment 'processed' prior to the start of competition. Random 
checks of models and equipment may be made as directed by the CD. 
Inadvertent rule violations will result in a zero for that round 
(note: this is a deviation from standard FAI rules that requires 
the total disqualification of the flyer). Flagrant and 
intentional rule violation as deemed by the Jr preNats Jury will 
result in a zero points total for the preNats contest.
Nats Jr Team Selection Contest Information
The second 'half' of the Jr Team Selection Nats contest will be 
the regularly scheduled Nats events.  The Jr will participate as 
a regular competitor; there will be no special Jr Team Selection 
rules. All AMA and FAI rules will apply as usual. 
The only exception is there will not be a regularly scheduled F1P 
event. Those Jr with F1P models must enter and compete in the F1J 
contest and fly to the F1J rules: 7 sec engine run, 2-minute max 
and 5 Rounds.
Summary:
We looking forward to a great competition and if the current 
American Cup Junior results are an indication, it will be.

Gentlemen, Clarke Smiley  here. I read the SCAT NEWS and see a great amount 
of activity going on, ALWAYS !!!!
I'm going to put out a "beg note" for the scale guys.
I had at one time a 700+plan collection that was sold to a mister Campbell 
from the "windy city" IL.
Sold through WW-I Aero magazine.
The only stipulation being that it be kept open for my customers.
Well, that didn't happen, and I have started to rebuild. I would offer this 
for your scale guys I will trade plans of WW-I for the return of any plans that
 
I have now for sale. I will send a catalog to anyone that would be 
interested, I will pay ALL costs I am not looking for something for nothing!! I
 have had 
some of my old customers send plans to me from WW-I and I copy, return, and 
offer anything I have in return.
I am determined to again offer plans to all from that time period.
If there is any interest you cam E-mail me, or, contact me at

I will not let one "bad apple" spoil things for the folks that I served for 
some nine years.

The website should have html rather than htm. Also, you must select the gif plo
ts to make them fit on a normal screen. The wind rose for Jacksonville, Florida
 in September is much like what we saw at Palm Bay for the team selection final
s.

Mystery engine update
========================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Dear Mr. SCAT,
Just yesterday I got sufficient stuff from Bob Beecroft to make the F 
engine no longer a mystery. It is now officially a Hot Engine with a 
revised URL. Those still wanting to make its acquaintance should look 
at:
http://www.gregorie.demon.co.uk/freeflight/f1j/index.html
and scroll down to the Hot engines section. I still have plenty of 
material for those who fancy their detective prowess, because I still 
don't know who makes the Aviant, KC-06 and Y engines. Details of 
these and any future Mystery Engines can all be found at the (stable) 
URL:
http://www.gregorie.demon.co.uk/freeflight/f1j/index.html#mystery
or go to my web site:
http://www.gregorie.demon.co.uk
and click 'Free Flight', then 'F1J/F1P engines' and scroll down to 
the 'Mystery engines' section.
I thank you for your time.

Roger,
It was heartening to note that in the Amenrica's Cup standings for F1A, F1B,
F1G, F1H, and F1J that juniors constiture over 10% of the participants
(about 1 in 8 except for F1G).  Congratulations to Austin Gunder for a clear
lead in F1J and Dallas Parker for a strong 2nd in F1A.  I will be rooting
for the Juniors this year, and hope to see one or more receive the Cup for
their event!
