I would settle for an abort and/or D/T on demand. We IMACS will start
playing with it come this spring. Ed Mate

Hi! I've been controlling myself pretty well lately, huh?!
Relieved to see Lee's RC disclaimer! RC was like a cuss word in our
house! Yes, I remember the Dallair and Auto-the-Gyro...but they
had to make sacrafices to
keep me, Midge and McGovern fed! I type this w/ the usual reluctance, as
I'm never sure of FR's current opinions - the BOM thingy has caused me to
question if I was adopted or not! Sorry, but I suffer daily the brain damage
resulting from the overexposure to dope and Indoor film-covering stuff - at
least it's not all for nothing...he certainly is enjoying himself...as
long as he's happy.....

Hernan,
It may interest you to know that Andres gave me the
original mylar drawing of AL34 in 1989.
That model is the basis for his AL35, 37 & 38.
AL35 being the mark number he used after round 2, to
win the F1A World Championship in Embalsa, Argentina.
I added the information to the original about the modifications
for AL35, 37 & 38[via translation by Alex Andriukov, btw].
If you would like a copy, please let me know.
I will need to find out costs of copying & postage, but
think $20US will cover the expenses.

Re: RC in FF
I can agree with Allard. At the beginning of seventies in
my first RC glider I used F1A wing and stab. The weight
was very similar to F1A, too. I newer got it back to the
starting area when some 5 to 10 minutes in good lift and a
few meters wind.

USA F1E News
============
F1E organiser Jim Parker[wearer of many hats...]reported there are 5
official entries so far for our F1E CAL Cup on Feb 13.
So why not come to Holloway Hill to observe the fun? Oh, & please help
as timekeepers...
For any interested fliers, please take note that F1E is a provisional Am
Cup event.
So get a plane together, enter & you might glean some Am Cup points!
The club rcvd a note from Bob Sifleet that the F1E Team Selection
Committee is comprised of himself, Peter Brocks, Ken Bauer & Tom Ioerger.
They will be finding a site & formulating a program for the next F1E
Team Finals.
As always, stay tuned...
The Leaper Reports on recent competitions
=========================================
...Desert Challenge was a fun day @ Taft.
================
Not too cold, light breezes, some fine soft lift in the afternoon, so
Pierre kept flying & flying, recording 14 maxes in 16 flts to win it!
The bonfire feast with the gang was a fun time.
Dallas, having served his apprenticeship in past years, took over the
august role of Chief Fire Stoker, with oversight & tutalage by
Sir P.A. Allnutt of Taft.
The SWR @ Eloy AZ...
====================
now that was COLD! Plus windy on Sat from 1pm on.
THe F1 events were halted after round 5, to be concluded on Sunday...
But the Cat Glider crew kept on regardless of the conditions[no wimps
there]with Tim Batiuk finally pipping this Scribe by 6 seconds, nearly
as the 4 o'clock whistle sounded the end of official flying!
Sunday @ 8AM the hardy[ foolhardy ?, maybe...temp was in the low
teens!]flyoff guys did the best they could to get their birds to
come from the nests & warm to the tasks at hand.
Some Glider guiders found it too cold for proper electron flow, rubber
must not have been inclined to give its best, & power fuel must have
been like sludge to burn.
After all said & done, good ole BVN[aka, Brian,our top team final
guy]won F1A, Charlie Jones came from Ohio to win Wake, while Scotsdales'
own Randy Archer continued his winning way in F1C.
Cody Secor traveled all the way to Eloy, maxed out in F1P (5 Rounds)
along with Terry K....Cody made a flyoff flight Sunday morning at 8:15am,
(12 degrees at the time),...won with a flyoff time of 6:11 ....
Terry showed up late and did not make his flyoff flight."
Sunday then warmed[!]up to 50 degrees, maybe, but the drift was quite
light all day. These eyes were privileged to observe what I consider the
best OHLG performance I have seen in my 55 years of FF action.
In lift so light my glider would not ride, Ken Bauer[another SCAT member
on next F1A team]made 9 maxes! He used his E-HLG Bunter[his own
electronic timer with servo]which he came 2nd with @ 2005 NATS.
The extra decalage and forward CG afforded superior lift-riding ability to
take the win. Stan B & Tim B used FF DLGs to max out for 2nd & 3rd places.

NFFS in Feb
===========
Walt Ghio
As most of the Free Flight community knows the National Free Flight Society
sells several items to help support the NFFS. Being the new VP for Western
District, I have asked Bob Stalick to supply me with some of the items that
he sells for the NFFS. During the Isaacson Winter Classic and the Max Men
International at Lost Hills, I will have for purchase Symposiums , BMFA
FF Forums, NFFS t-shirts, hats along with several other items. Also, for
those of you who are not members of the National Free Flight Society I
will try to bend your arm to join. International flyers are also welcomed
to join. I will have a table set up during the Isaacson contest on
Sunday / Monday and each day of the Max Men. Hope to see you.
