Roger, I received a call today from Mike Fruciano to inform me the Sal 
had passed away this morning. This was quite a shock to me, and will 
take a while to get used to. Sal was a true friend to Free Flight, and 
to everyone in the Free Flight community. He will missed.  I feel as if
I personally have lost one of my best friends. Mike requested that there
be no calls made to house, but said that they appreciate cards. They can
be sent to Ann Fruciano, 1917 E. Ranch Rd, Tempe, Az. 85284.  gb
 
Hoosier Cup 2003
================

After a two-year hiatus, the Hoosier Cup FAI contest returned to the 
International Aeromodeling Center in Muncie, Indiana (the Hoosier state).   
Thanks to Lee Campbell and Orville Stewart for making the arrangements and 
administering the contest.  Their "Spring Opener" contest was held 
simultaneously on May 17-19.
The Friday prior to the contest day held the promise of perfect weather for 
Free Flight.  Winds were light and variable, the sun was shining, thermals 
were booming, the grass was green (that's lawn grass, Jon) and temperatures 
were suitable for wearing T-shirts and shorts.   Jim Parker showed up about 6 
pm after getting lost on the way from the airport to the field.  He told me 
that without his GPS, he might have ended up in Michigan.   Anyway, we flew 
'til about 8 pm and then had dinner with the Gunders and Lorbieckis.
Saturday was a different weather story.  At 8 am it was raining a bit and the 
wind was out of the East at about 10 mph giving us the shortest possible 
drift direction for the field.  Rain continued off-and-on throughout the day 
and temps were in the low to mid-60s F.  The max was set at 180 for the 9 am 
start based on the distance a Nostalgia rubber model flew in the "Spring 
Opener" contest that started at 8 am.   As the day went on, the max was 
reduced to 150 and then to 120 for rounds 6 -7.   It turned out than no one 
maxed out the day.  In fact, no one had a clean score after round 2.  The 
mid-day rounds were windy enough to stop circle-towing of F1As.  Those that 
did circle tow were the most atheletic and had to shorten their field of 
drift by long down wind runs.  Speaking of atheleticism, it was a pleasure to 
watch the kids fly, Peter Barron and Austin Gunder.  That's right guys, 
Austin G, the Jr F1J World Champ, with an F1A .  He seemed as comfortable in 
the wind as an old pro!   He also told me that he being heavily recruited to 
play college football.
In deference to the weather, many of us short-fused our DTs including Greg 
Simon who ended up in first place for F1B.   Bill Shailor gamely continued 
after a mechanical problem in the first round ended with a score of 5 
seconds.   The change in the F1A attempt rule making a DTd flight count, even 
if under 20 seconds, dropped Andrew Barron in the 4th round when a mechanical 
failure caused the model to DT upon launch.  
For the mini events on Sunday, the wind stayed the same, but the rain had 
stopped.  F1G was settled on the last round when Richard Woods' model 
spiraled-in during the glide.  The problem was due to loss of a balancing 
weight under the stab.  He was having chase-bike problems just before the 
last round and was distracted from his usual pre-flight routine.   The only 
flyoff of the contest was between Austin Gunder and Jim Haught in F1J.  A 
3-minute max with a 5 second engine run was agreed to for the flight.  Austin 
made it, but Jim decided to short fuse at 2:55 as a tactical measure.  
Unfortunately for Jim, his model was only about 20 ft up when it DTd to come 
down 1 second short!

Our expert on neutral point(s) was Hal Crane.
He did a paper on the subject for an early
NFFS Symposium.
His identity with the subject was so strong that
we gave him the sobrequet..Hal - Neutral Point - Crane.
Hal passed away some years ago.  I last saw him out
jogging, in the early morning, at West Baden
during one of the Indoor World Champs.
The secrets may have passed on with him....

Tech request for SCAT

Hi I am looking for some help with a project and Alan Petersen recommended
that I write to this address with my inquiry.  This is my projected plan:
I am hoping to build a slow speed wind tunnel (.5 -11m/s hopefully) in the
next 2 and 1/2 months, and I wish to find data on propeller performance at=
very low reynolds numbers, and how Re and mach number affect prop
performance.  I would like my research to have applications not only to
modellers but also to UAV (unmannced aerial vehicles) which fly at similar
reynolds numbers, around 5000-10,000. 
       I have plans for a wind tunnel that was made in the 1930s which is
similar to my proposed one, but slightly larger, which I obtained from the
1986 NFFS magazine.  Apparently, making precise instrumentation is one of
the
most difficult tasks when making a tunnel.  I think that my proposed wind
tunnel will be about 24" in diameter and I will test props roughly 12" in
diameter.  Hopefully I will able to get useful information on lift, drag,
and thrust. 
      
I was hoping that people would know or know someone who has experience with
wind tunnels, in making them, in past tests, etc?  I was under the impress=
ion
that there were no wind tunnels out there that can get the infinitesimal
readings that I am looking for.  Any help or incite would be extremely
valuable and appreciated. 
       Sincerely,

Neutral Point

Mike Seagrave recently wondered how to determine the neutral point.  Here is 
a way by glide testing that can do that.  
The only way I can tell how to determine the NP is to build a hand launch 
glider, placing the CG starting maybe at mid wing MAC.  The HLG could have 
the same relative wing and tail area of one of your known models. Make sure 
that the stab can be warped or an elevator applied that can hold its 
deflection.  Trim the model to glide smoothly.  From this you will have 
learned just how much push you give the model.  
Now, launch the glider with a bit faster speed at the same angle relative to 
the ground.  Do it several times to make sure the results remain the same.  
If the glider is stable it will pitch up from your launch..  
Now move the CG aft maybe 10 percent MAC, retrim for good glide and then the 
harder push. Keep moving the CG until the harder push does not change the 
flight path up or down, within reason.  This, then is the NP.  A lot of hard 
work but with sure results.

2003 Northern California Free Flight Champs-FAI Results
=======================================================
Here are the FAI results to the best of my knowledge. If there are any 
discrepancies, have participants get in touch with me.
As many of you already know, we had to fly under shortened maxes (120 seconds) 
for rounds four and five on Saturday because of wind, rain, and drift 
conditions.
General Overview of Contest Conditions:
We decided to place the line just east of the bridge and ditch since drift was 
heading generally north. Our normal path to the eastern ridge was not an option 
because there was a good chance that cars could not traverse the ditch without 
getting stuck. Even though it had rained most of the week prior to the contest, 
the ground was firm except for water patches in the low areas.
After the end of the third round (noon time), we broke for lunch hour and the 
            now traditional OCD barbecue with chicken, hamburgers, polish sausage, salads 
and pies.
As it turns out, we could have flown another 180 round but just as we were 
getting ready to resume flying, we had a rain squall and decided to cut the 
maxes to 120 seconds. The same line location was used for the remainder of 
Saturday as well as Sunday.

As can be seen, getting two-minute maxes was not that easy. Many were fooled or 
teased by what looked like good air, only to fall out of small, tight thermals.
On Sunday morning, those in the fly-off chose not to tempt early wind direction 
towards the northwest. The four-way tie breaker in F1A will be settled at Big 
Al’s Shootout at Lost Hills, Memorial Day Weekend.

Watching the guys in the Wakefield flyoffs was a real treat on Sunday morning. 
Surprisingly, drift was not that bad and it didn’t take long for the threesome 
to wind and launch. Only six seconds separated George from Alex’s winning time 
and Dick Wood was only five seconds behind George.
It may be that John and Rich will require a flyoff for fourth and fifth places 
for America’s Cup points so, be forewarned.
Philip broke a few motors and had difficulty in the second round. Otherwise he 
may have had a chance to make the flyoffs. His sister Kim gave it a real try 
after damaging her airplane in the first round (her hand hit the prop on 
launch). With encouragement from family and competitors, she picked herself up 
and continued flying

Dave Shirley has been coming on, big time. This time he was the only one to max 
out. Halliday may have been in the flyoff as well but it was said that he had 
other commitments later in the day. Probably got tired of wet feet and the 
retrieval terrain!
Doug suffered problems with his primary model in the third round and went to a 
backup just before the end of the round. As the airplane left his hand, the 
engine sounded rich and began to lose velocity. It came back to earth but was 
probably saved from damage because of the soft earth.

Again, only one individual maxed out. Bill Davis took advantage of Mike’s air 
picking ability with the use of cattail fluff.
To my knowledge, Dick was the only competitor trying out an F1P design so he 
elected to stop flying Coupe because of time constraints with two events flying 
in rounds.

Norm could have walked away with all the marbles since he was the only one that 
was clean after four rounds. He has become a master with the Buddenbohm Mini-
Maxer. In the fifth round, all he probably had to do was bring it to the top of 
the line with a gentle release, since it looked as if the air was good enough 
            for a max. But he elected to bring it around in the breeze and had too much 
line tension. Nothing could save the glider in its dive towards the gully 
filled with water. Martyn and Bob wisely told him not to fly it because of the 
moisture. When he returned with a backup before the end of the round, his 
launch was too strong and the glider lost valuable altitude in its vain attempt 
to recover from the excessive speed.

We would have had a four man fly-off but Tony Robertson had a long trip back to 
Utah and elected not to fly.
Jim went off pattern to the east and was not centered in the thermal. Bill and 
Dave had their glide patterns adjusted differently. Bill’s was pretty tight 
while Dave’s was weather-vaning. It hung for the longest time pointing into the 
wind before slowly turning downwind. I don’t think he made even three complete 
turns before making his three minute flight. Unfortunately, even though making 
his flyoff flight, Bill suffered damage to his wingtip joint when DT’ing to the 
ground. That finished him.
At the awards ceremony, Dave was reminded that any ties for first place had to 
be completed for points. So he put up a short flight, knowing Bill had already 
gone home. He set the timer in the wrong groove and his airplane headed 
straight into the tarmac after climbing over several hundred feet. It’d take 
too much time to remove the plug of sod in the venture so he went to a back-up 
ship. Thankfully, that one flew long enough to make it official!
Again, we had a great time, despite the forecast. Saturday could have been 
dicey but Sunday was a real joy. I didn’t hear of any complaints and some 
actually went home with a few hundred dollars in their pockets! Namely, Dick 
Douglas (San Jose), Ron Hernandez (Alaska), Matthew Kruse (Anaheim Hills), 
Frank Pollard (Port Townsend, WA), Nicholas Rossi (only seven and from Folsom), 
and Bob Stalick (Albany, OR).
 Thanks for joining us and come back next year!	Fred

Hello!
I assume that you had a typo in your e-mail address in #798, the first item.
Should "sact" not have been "scat"?
Thanks for your diligent efforts,

IMAC's annual Spring Small Field Contest
========================================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Mosley's excellent report prompts me to once again open my big mouth and
write. Yesterday was to be the IMAC's annual Spring Small Field Contest. By
the time we set up and made a few test flights it started raining and
blowing like crazy. We sat in our cars waiting for the weather to break as
Charlie Sotich now king of kite flyers and perennial secretary predicted. It
broke not long after I (Pres.) and Ed Konefess (C.D.) Called the Meet and
rescheduled for May 24th. The sun came out and the wind died down and
redirected into a favorable direction prompting everyone to do some flying.
This was about 12:30.
We were to fly a new event which I instigated for our annual meet, R.O.W.
any model. We were to fence around a picnic table (forest preserve) with
1x1's and unroll some of Gerry Dubaka's plastic and fill it with water. As
it was though there were many puddles around to pick from. I was going to
fly one if my .020 Replicas my Playboy with a half size set of floats I used
very successfully at the 1955 Nats. It was on an Oliver.15 powered Meteor.
Unfortunately I chose the wrong Cox .020 engine and did no R.O.W. testing.
Ed Konefess always prepared and tested put floats on his "Convertible"
rubber job and made a beautiful flight. Our mentor 91yo Don Lockwood had a
1930's twin tractor, adding styrofoam floats. He held a World Record with it
in 1935 but not R.O.W. He made a short flight with his smaller speed event
props on it to see if it would work. It worked good. A couple of guys tried
Embrio rubber jobs with styrofoam floats. One made it and one did not. 30

Compass Variation
=================

Roger:
I am inclined to agree with those that recommend using a good magnetic 
compass along with their GPS tracking unit. But it is vital that the 
compass and the GPS tracker are set to the same number of degrees 
variation. For the manner in which we are using them, it is only 
necessary that they be set the same. Here in Southern California the 
compass variation is 9=BA west. This would be important if we were 
navigating using a topo map.
For many years, as a leader member of the Sierra Club, I climbed 
mountain peaks here in California. Over 500. On many I used a compass, 
altimeter and topo map. My compass is a Ranger made by Silva. It is 
extremely accurate and durable. It is also very easy to change the 
degrees of variation when I happened to be on a hike in Europe.
