Roger
Big Al's is in the history book. A great contest, with 62 entrants and a good
entry in all six events. Weather was exactly as ordered and on-time. We will
be using the same supplier next time, I'm sure.

Stopwatch caution
=================

Friends,
Radio Shack sells a stopwatch called 'SPORTS', - yellow case, catalogue
# 63 5014.
Be careful not to leave this stopwatch exposed to the sun, such that it
gets hot
from the exposure. The display goes crazy! Just about the time it
takes to
wind a P30, you're screwed.
Seems to be OK otherwise .Keep it in your pocket.
Brokenspar
Lost and Found at Big Al's
==========================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
A Walston Transmitter was found at Lost Hills in the parking area partially
buried in the ground. I tested it with my 16-channel receiver and found
that it still works. If there is a person out there who thinks it belongs
to him/her and can identify it by the Walston catalog number and the
frequency on which it operates, I will be happy to arrange for return to its
rightful, if somewhat careless, owner. Oh well, it was HOT and we were all
tired at the end of the day.

811 airfoil details & Phillips entry
====================================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Roger,
Here's the real story from Ivan re the 811 section.
Also can anyone from the 'scat community'throw any light on why a phillips entr
y stab would behave in such a fashion, or perhaps (showing my ignorance) what i
s a phillip's entry (other than the front door to phillip's house) section or a
re the rest of us still finding mike fantham's comments on 'victors ribs and bb
q recipe funny.
Yours in ignorance
Julian
I have found your request in the mail today. I will try to help you, though I d
o not know if it is possible as I guess you need the coordinates.
The 811 airfoil evolved as follows: The previous model was of 150 mm wing chord
. The airfoil was B-6356b, with lower front part (about 30%) flattened. The bui
lding jig was made, following the bottom surface. Then, the 811 was designed, w
ith 160 mm chord. The top surface was 160 mm B-6356b, bottom surface according
to the jig mentioned above.
The tip airfoil was created by simple cutting away the last 35 mm of the airfoi
l and connecting these two curves back.
By the way, the stab airfoil with some "Phillips entry" proved to be source of
troubles, the models surprisingly spinned in. It was completely removed when a
more conventional stab airfoil was used.
Yours
Ivan Horejsi

Hi Roger,
Several quick things;
After seeing a comment re motel rooms availability for finals in Oct,
I stopped at
Motel 6 on my way to Lost Hills for the Big Al comp and was able to
reserve a double-bed room with no problem. So try again, you never know.
Secondly, Sunday after the comp, I went to Carl's Jr for a sumptuous meal( with
endless drink refills to quench my thirst!) and a flat tire greeted me
upon returning
to my Honda. I put on my temp spare(50 mph max)and went to Burn's Brothers
where the nice lady called---guess who?---Gutierrez Tire (24 HR!)
Service in Lost Hills, and yes, they could help me out right away.
Well, I met them at 9:30pm at their shop, and was on the way home by 10pm
for the nominal cost of 15$, same as Norm Furutani quoted in his
email(ref SEN 17Feb2000). By the way Norm: congrats on victory at Big Al comp!
So everyone who comes to Lost Hills should be well advised to remember
these good people:
Gutierrez Tire, 21167 Hwy 46, Lost Hills, CA 93249. Tel: (616) 797-2742
I asked for and was given several business cards, so please ask me for one next
time you see me.
Thirdly, I want to contact Ron St Jean---can anyone help with address or
phone no?
Lastly, I was very interested and relieved to read the "E-Timer Gremlin"
troubleshooting commentary. It ilustrates clearly the advise to isolate
and insulate
the electronic devises with care and some physical space. A point to be noted
and well heeded by all using such EE devices, as the "problems" include the
dreaded flyaways and costly retrieval searches!
Ciao,
LEE
[ - Lee I do not think you were the only FAI customer that Gutierrez Tire
had this weekend!]
What have you done lately ?!

Hey Roger!
How come you didn't put in the winner of the F1J event at Big Al's?
Boy, these journalists!
Dukie
[I thought that was the way to incentivize you to send the full results!]
