Hungarian lesson
=================
sputhor : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Here goes big mouth again. Since I got a total recall of my first languag
e, Hungarian when in college in 1957 helping Hungarian Revolution Refugee
s, a few words for you guys going there. Congratulations Gil. I still can
't believe I fought him into the 6th round once in half A against the "To
othpicks." Anyways to Hungarian. =20
Igen pronounced egen is not a famous Irish Hungarian that they all talk a
bout there. You will hear it a lot, it means yes. Nem is no. Nem tudom me
ans I don't know. Nem kel is don't want. Where's the toilet is "hol van a
vetszey". Remember a is pronounced uh and e is pronounced ay like our a
and s is pronounced sh. The sz which drives everyone nuts when it is used
as in vetszey is pronounced like our s. Got it?
To go on, Railroad is "vash ult" vash being iron and ult being road. Road
to my airplane would be, ult a "repulogepemhoz". Repulo being flyer or f
lying, gep being machine. Remember e pronounced like our a. Gep pronounce
d gayp. Repulo pronounced rehp-eww-lehew, not quite but close. The em in
the word is possessive and hoz is to. Maybe stick to model which is about
the same, pronounced mohdell. Hey you guys need a translator to go with
you?
What else? Wing is sarny, rib is bordo, tail is farak. Remember a in fara
k is uh, both of them. Of course a with 'Let me know what else you need t
o know.
Regards, Ed Mate
IMPORTANT P.S. I am sorry is "botcsonot" pronounced boht-chon-oht. Thank
you is kosonom pronounced kerw-serw-nerwm, you answer your welcome which
is, "szivesen". If you follow the rules above you got it.Also this is com
plicated but only if i make it so. And I will. You will here chokolom. Th
is is Hungarian for hi. Comes from I kiss your hand which is Chocolom a k
ezed. Chocolom, I kiss, a kezed, your hand. Hungarian spelling may be a l
ittle off. I cant spell in either language.
Jr F1P Development Program. SCAT
==================================

Subject : F1P
Roger for SEN,
The AstroStar 404 Jr Kits have been completed. The first awarded kits have been
mailed to Cody Secore and D. Kusick. Ther are 8 more full kits available wai
ting for interested Jr flyers.
I can't thank the group of guys that made this happen enough. Terry Thorkildsen
for technical supervision of adapting his AstroStar design to the F1P criteria.
Craig Cusick for his superb drafting skills. Tom Laird for selecting the balsa. Biggest thanks to Bob VanNest that pulled it all together and did the hands
on kitting and shipping. He also donated half the cost of this project.
To pay the remaining half of the project, ten AstroStar 404 laser cut ribs sets
(including the diagonals) plus the full size plans are being offered for a 25$
donation. Please contact Bob VanNest This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Personal checks and
money orders only.
This is a great opportunity to progress the young ½ A flyers into both AMA
A Gas and the FAI F1P event. The most critical ingredient is the experienced
Mentor. There is no shortage of discussion on SEN about the Jr "problem". How
about being part of the solution?
Thermals, Jim Parker
March 2002 tan2

Hi Roger
The March 2002 Tan II that I have been using is excellent rubber.
There is probably no need to restrand the 26 strand motor to something
shorter and thicker. If your writer from New Zealand has been using old Tan
II, the March 02 batch will likely both take more turns and reach a higher
torque. Just stretch it hard and wind it fast.

Bill and I received the following message from Ron Moulton, VP British Model
Flying Association:
"Frank Zaic was nominated for two prestigious international awards which are
given annually by the Models Commission of the F.A.I."
"I am most pleased to tell you that last week at the Plenary session of the
Models Commission the award of the F.A.I Gold Medal for Model Aeronautics was
awarded to Frank for his great work in advancing the technical development
through his many publications and administration of the Academy of Model
Aeronautics during its earliest days in 1936."
"As this was the supreme award, the other nomination was withdrawn."
Ron is currently engaged in writing about the award for Aeromodeller.

Propeller Loading
=================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Hello Roger
Thank you for organising and running such an interesting and effective =
newsletter.May I put a question to your readers, please ?
It is widely recognised in propeller theory and design that the degree =
of loading has a significant bearing on the choice of design method and =
on the effectiveness of the resulting propeller. Can any of your readers =
help, please, by quantifying the terms ' lightly loaded' and 'heavily =
loaded' ? Is it as simple as relating the loading to a range of values =
of the advance ratio ?

Re: Cutting Foam
================

While Martyn Cowley & Ron St Jean have a lot of foam cutting experience for
free flight, there is a multitude of info on RC websites.
Assume it's styrofoam & hotwireable. Skin can be helpful for structure, or
just add weight. Max skin with heating element from oven or charcoal
starter (run at lower voltage). Next is fat wire, then skinny wire. For no
skin at all, a table saw with hollow ground veneer blade leaves a silky
smooth finish and is generally more precise than hotwires.
There are an almost infinite number of variables in hotwire cutting. Key is
goor variable power supply. A good bow that keeps tension on the wire is
also required. I found short wires superior in that you can use a cooler
setting for more uniform finish without the wire dragging thru the foam.
Experimentation is most helpful for your application.
BTW one useful application for hotwired foam is helical pitch forms (well,
at least most indoor sportsmens still make their own props). A triangle
(front view) and rectangle (side view) are all that's needed. Basically is
old X block as used by Bilgri. Plywood or most anything can be used for
template. Foam can be glued in for stiffness, or not. Note that scrap
piece cut away is also same pitch.
Google can provide total information overload on foam cutting.
Good luck,
H
