Make Hay while Haggis shines or if want F1C stuff for the finals contact the Duke Pronto


Roger
I most likely will not be at the finals this year. And I haven't made arrangements for a mule for my stuff either. So, remind the F1C guys that if they need stuff I have , order it now so you can have it in time.
MAybe we could have the finals in mid summer up in the hay country on the Madelin Plain. I can provide about  100 lbs of Haggis material per day for the F1A guys. Guaranteed fresh daily, although a few parts may be missing.
Thx
Doug Galbreath


Magic Stuff Too

Unlike Doug I will be at the finals, but I'm there to fly.  I  will have  the Magic Bag of Tricks but if you need some specific part, Palm Pilot, cable or spare timer and you know now you need to ask for it  at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to make sure that you get what you need. I do have timers on hand, my stock is a little low on some models and they're being made, hopefully in time for the Sierra cup.

Reminder for Lost Hills Contest on September 4th.
 
This past weekend, I joined Ed Carroll and Don Zink at Lost Hills for some test flying. We decided to return on Labor Day weekend for some more test flying. After talking about our small group of flyers I have decided to hold an FAI contest for F1ABC on September 4th to see if we can get more flyers on the field. This will be a low key contest so you can fly in the contest and also test fly during the day. First flight will be to the ground from 7:30 to 8:00 am. Then you will fly two flights from 8 am to 9:30 am. Two more flights from 9:30 am to 11:00 am. Then two more flights from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm for a total of seven. Do to the expected hot day we will hold off with any more contest flights till 5:00 pm. Depending on the weather conditions we will have a flyoff or hold off till Sunday morning or revert to the first round score. Ten-dollar entry fee with the winner of each event getting 50%, second place 35% and third place 15%. Your CD wants to fly / test fly also, so the flyers will be required to record their own scores after each round. I will provide the score sheets and you will be required to do a little work.
 
We have a field of carrots on the Lost Hills flying site. As we did for Big Al’s contest the flying site will be to the West end of our property and our flights should miss the carrot field. I will have the phone number for Fermin if we need to call him.
 
The field to the North has been harvested and has stubble. The stocks are around six to eight inches high and will not make you day if you DT into them

Finals Participant List and Timer List




[I got this list and noted that there are 2 Arams in F1B, I went back to Jim and George for clarification , which I did not get before press time. I'm guessin that one is Aimee, who decided not to fly?]

Following is the list of participants qualified to fly at the up-coming  USA FF FAI Finals to compete for the the 2011 USA Team for the WC in Argentina. If you believe you have been left off this list by mistake, Contact George Batiuk at <This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.>.  I can not help you with is.

Following the participants list is the list of timers for the Finals.  Where there is an excess of participants to timer need, a random draw will be done to determine which participants get a pass on timing.

Thanks you very much for those that have responded to the call for timing help.We still need 3 timers to time F1B on Sat, Sept 25 and  5 timers to time F1B on Monday, Sept 27.  Incentives still available per previous SEN posts.  Please contact me if you can help.  Jim Parker <This email address is being protected from spambots.

2010 Southwest FAI Challenge

 


October 30 & 31, 2010
Boulder City, Nevada
(Reserve Day November 1, 2010)

The Team Finals is certainly on all FAI Free Flighter's minds right now, but as you begin to make plans for your post-Finals contest season consider the Southwest FAI Challenge in Boulder City, Nevada.  This is an Americas Cup Contest with a full FAI free flight venue with a few other events included as well.  This year we have included Vintage FAI Power.  The El Dorado Dry Lake bed measures about a mile and a half by four miles of completely unobstructed, bare, flat flying area.  This is the same site where the SAM Champs are held in alternate years.   It is about a 35 minute drive from the world famous Las Vegas Strip and it's genuine world class entertainment and dining.  Boulder City (about a 15 minute drive) boasts it's own wonderful dining spots and lower key accommodations.

Anyone who has followed the history of this meet knows getting approval to use the lake bed is not always a guarantee.  For this year, the AMA sanction is in hand and thanks to the generous help of the Boulder City Chamber of Commerce, our lake use permit has been approved.   The trophies are finished and the time cards are printed.  We're ready to go.  Come join us.
