2008 King Orange FAI Report
We had excellent weather for the King Orange this year. The midday temperatures for all three days were in the high mid 70’s to low 80’s and the winds were 3 to 6 MPH most of the time. The first day had thick fog till about 9:30 but the mini-events were able to start on time. It was a little windy from late morning on the last day, but models were still staying on the field. The bad news was that entries both total and for the FAI events, were way down.
Full 2 or 3 minutes maxes were flown for all FAI events rounds. Wind was never an issue for the FAI events on either day they were flown. The FAI entries were way down this year with no one flying in F1A, F1C or F1P. It would have been easy points for anyone who showed up. Only F1Q had 3 entries. It is interesting that most of the flyers in F1Q were flyers that are traditionally not FAI flyers. This is a good sign at least.
F1G only had 2 flyers but the Americas cup was at stake. Eddie Vanlandingham came all the way from Texas to take a shot at it. Eddie was in 3rd place in the Americas Cup standings and only a win would move him ahead of Tiffany O’Dell. Eddie did win in a convincing manor and won the Americas Cup by 1 point.
Jean Pailet was the only flyer in F1H. He flew 3 rounds and then concentrated on flying F1J.
F1J also only had 2 flyers but they battled it out until the end with Tom Kerr edging out Jean Pailet. Each had 3 maxes and 2 drops. I think the lack of Jean having his ever present 4 legged advisor affected him but he decided that she needed a rest. I am sure we will see the Pailet team back together very soon.
F1Q was really the tightest contest even though the final scores don’t show it. These models have very high performance with the long motor runs the rules allow, which is likely to be reduce by the CIAM soon, and they fly very well now that most people have figured out the right size of model to fly. High tech carbon VIT models are not required, although they are allowed, to be competitive so this event appeals to a lot of the AMA power flyers and the flyers who want to fly a power event without the mess of fuel and oil. I think we will see F1Q grow into becoming one of the more popular events.
F1B which is usually has a lot of entries only had 2 entries this year with Eddie Vanlandingham and Jim Bradley flying. Going into the last round Jim was ahead by a few seconds so he chose to use the old Russian strategy of flying in the same air as your competitor. Both launched within a few seconds of each other, no point in having a mid-air during the prop run, and flew in neutral to fair air. In the end Jim made the max and extended his lead over Eddie. The final results meant that Eddie remained in 4th place in the Americas Cup standing and Jim moved up into 5th place.
F1G, 2 flyers F1H, 1 flyer F1J, 3 flyers

Lost Hills Membership Update
This is a reminder for all flyers who visit Lost Hills for contest that you can save some dollars by signing up for membership by January 15th, 2009. With the Issacson, Pan American Open and Max Men in February we would like to have the USA and Canadian flyers who plan on attending sign up by mail before the three contest. With all the foreign flyers attending it is quite a job to sign everybody up at the entry table and we would like to cut down on this work if possible. If you cannot remember what year you have paid for visit the Lost Hills web site http://www.lhffmaa.com/index.html and check on your status. Sign up before January 15th and the cost is $20 or two years for $35. After January 15th the cost is $25 or two years for $40. Thank you for your help.

Fullerton, CA 92835
If foreign flyers who plan on attending the February contest at Lost Hills will send me an e-mail I will send them the entry form for Lost Hills membership and you can make it out and return it to me. In this way we can cut down on the time required for entry. Just return me the form by e-mail and we can settle the money upon your entry at the first of the three contest that you attend. There is a Lost Hills membership for $10 that will cover a two week period. All Foreign flyers must pay an AMA Affiliate membership for $28. Again, thank you for your help.
