FAI and Argentina

From: Alfredo Baños

Dear Roger, it would be very helpful if you can publish in the next SEN that Argentina returned to Active Member, last week it was paid for FAI membership. Thank you. Alfredo


Another worm hole ?
From:Dick Ivers

SEN 2679 - Regarding closed loop control:
There is another system that could possibly be interpreted as closed loop control that is used in some current F1Q models. The system is the motor speed governor function present in some ESCs. This is used to keep motor speed constant throughout the climb thus reducing the effect of battery sag. Motor speed is measured internally by the ESC, then the voltage to the motor is raised or lowered to keep speed constant.

 


Motel 6 at Lost Hills


From:Martin Schroedter

I recently spoke to Laura at Motel 6 and she told me because of the
confusion on the price for the February dates, she has reserved several
rooms for the modelers because of their years of support. If you contact her
just mention that you are a flier and she'll give you the special rate, no
special code is required. Please call to confirm but I believe she is saying
the rates are $59.95 for two people and $49.95 for single.

Looping E ?


From:Jerry Fitch

 

By way of understanding open/closed loop systems in the current context, what’s on an F1E model?  From the comments, seems like it would be closed loop.


Editor’s comment : I think it is agreed that magnetic steering is OK as that’s part of the class. Using a GPS is not ? but and electronic compass is ? And can you steer by a method other than a rudder e.g wing wiggler and could you link the stab for example to the turning action or amount of turn ?
