BlackMagic Batteries
====================
We have a supply of 180ma 4 cell Nicad for use with BlackMagic
Glider timers [actually you can use it for F1B too - if your
F1B is 30 grams under weight!]. The battery weights 30 grans with wire
but no connector. It is nominally 65.5mm x 14.4 x 17.3. The cells
are welded and it is covered in shrink tube. The cost is $15.00
without connector and shipping is extra.
I will have some at the SCAT Annual.

Bear Cup 2001

The results from the Bear Cup competition can be found at
http://www.ilmailuliitto.fi/lennokki/fftf/results/2001/bc2001.htm
The weather forecast was a bit worrying, with decent wind and snow fall.
The actual weather turned out much better, wind was 3 m/s at highest, and
slight snow showers on first two rounds did not cause visibility problems.
The flying site was new, a large frozen lake somewhat more inland than the
previous one, and a bit more south. This means that if one takes the night
ferry from Stockholm to Turku one could get to the flying site in time. On
the other hand, this new site also has a nice holiday resort just on the
shore, so that one can wake up in the morning next to the lake, have some
breakfast and just walk (or take a car) right to the flying site.
Bear Cup 2001, Pori Finland 10.3.2001
Despite the weather forecast predicting snow fall and wind, the
weather actually quite nice. Some snowfall during the first two
rounds, but wind was up to 3 m/s, thus no visibility problems.

Re-seeding the filled in hole at Lost Hills
===========================================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
From SCAT Electronic News 25 February 2001 issue 549
Jon, If it is important to reseed we should do it, I am sticking my foot in
where I don't know a lot but at Galeville it was a similar situation and 40
years plus ago they had native grasses that worked. I am sure we can get a
bunch of guysd together to spread the costs, If you have the enrgy to find
out what we need and how much maybe we can make it work, joe w.
Foot and Mouth
==============
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Guys
Here is an update re the foot and mouth problem. If you want a copy of the
provisional contest calender changes e-mail me. I havn't sent it as it is a
rather large word document that will have to be sent as an attachment.
The grapevine has it that 2 R/C flyers were arrested for flying on Chobham
commmon. They apperently ignored the notices that had been posted.
The way that this thing is going I reckon that there has to be doubt over
the Free Flight Nationals at the end of May.
To our overseas readers please don't get wrong impression about what is
happening in the UK. This disease effects the certain animals it does not
effect humans. The animals would get over it but they would no thrive and
as the disease is very easily spread by the wind by contact etc etc the only
way to stop it is to quarenteen the effected areas and destroy the stock.
It is a draconian measure but it works. At the moment new cases are still
springing up. The incubation period is 14 days so we need that plus some
without new cases being reported current total is 150 or so.
The FFTC met on Saturday, and considered emergency procedures caused by the
Foot and mouth crisis.
Principal conclusions were:-
1/ There is a rolling programme of postponements and cancellations of
events.All events up to 15th April are postponed or cancelled. No one should
fly or trim in any areas in the countryside.
2/ A decision on the Nationals will be taken on or before the end of April.
This will be posted on the FFTC web page. At present, the FFTC are
continuing to plan for the Nationals. The committee is also reviewing
alternative dates/venues for the Nationals if it cannot take place on the
planned date; however, a suitable venue has not been found to date.
3/ The events from the first three Area meetings have been rescheduled into
the final three events. This has necessitated a complete change of all the
events to try to avoid too many clashes, but some are inevitable.The revised
programme of Area events is attached.
4/ Sculthorpe is unavailable for the resheduled Team Selection Trials on
23/24th June. In addition, the first two trials are in jeopardy.There is a
procedure in the rule book to cater for this eventuality, which would
ultimately mean that the team would be selected by a committee.The view of
the FFTC, and of a number of fliers was that there was a preference for a
further event to be scheduled later in the year if a suitable venue and date
could be determined.Views are invited on this matter.
