Perris Perceptions
Quoting Don Zink " I'm doing better than I though because even the young guys were have trouble launching their LDAs in the perfectly calm morminigs we have been having at Perris" Recent weekend test sessions have been blessed with less than 1 mph wing - great unless you want that breeze to help your LDA rocket off.
Doctor, NFL football player or Bob Villa replacment, no not a career change for well known discus glider experts Stan and Ralph but it is the kind of grippy glove that wear to hold the wing while spinning and throwing. Rubber is a key component. medical glove, foot ball wide receiver or Lowe's Special [or was it Home Depot?]
And we used to think it was July 98 tan2 rubber that was king but the same experts, i.e. Dr Stan and Dr Ralph line say it is July 93 Tan for the Cat gliders.
Just Do it! Seen at Perris Kevin Sherman test flying a Sergy carbon missle F1Q model. Kevin is working on getting it sorted rather than whining about Q online. maybe it should be Just Fly it an isn't Nike a missle.?
In the Press
Just got my first issue of the re-juvenated AeroModeller magazine. Lots of FF and C/L news. Fron FAI to compressed air to vintage. The centre/centre fold is a reprint of Vol1 Number 1 from 1935 and the centre fold is a plan of the Senator rubber model. There is a report on this year's Junior World FF Champs with quotes from some of the US kids and many great photos, include German 'Coach" Michael up a tree. Great job with the magazine that deserves your support. Subscription info etc at the web site www.aero-modeller.com
North American Cup
As some of you have heard, the PanAm cup was almost cancelled due to the
organizers needing a break. Several of the Toronto FF group members decided
that we would still like to have an FAI world Cup contest between the
Kiwi/Isaacson and the Maxmen events so a new contest has been organized. It
will be called the North American Cup for individual F1A/B&C events and
will retain the unique 3 person team event as an added bonus as was done
with the PanAm. This will be a World Cup event and an America's cup event
so lot's of points in either should be up for grabs. Book your Fab Feb Fest
(F cubed to those in the know) holiday now!
