Ken Bauer F1A timers. These pre-datae the micro controller based
timers and are programmed in true luddit fashion, with a screw driver -

F1B and 30 grams of rubber
==========================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
My original point which I obviously didn't make well enough is that modern
F1Bs with 30 grams of rubber Tan SS simply are not as exciting/spectacular
to fly as with 40 grams of Tan 2. Clearly this is partly due to the reduced
power available, but its also due to the power delivery characteristics of
Tan SS, it has a very pronounced "knee" at the conclusion of the burst
similar in fact to the old black/grey FAI. I started flying F1B because the
models are very elegant, and because they were exciting to fly. The fact
that performance is well above the max is almost irrelevant to me, nowadays
the models (well mine at least!!) simply do not get the adrenalin flowing.
I fully acknowledge that as the pinnacle of Free Flight the three major
classes (F1A, F1B, F1C) must be technically and practically challenging, but
I strongly believe that they should also be rewarding and must have a "Wow"
factor that separates them from the Open classes and Vintage etc
On a similar note I find it bizarre that in F1C people are happy to spend
hundreds of dollars to get a competitive motor which is a modern miracle of
design, metallurgy and manufacture and then stop it after 5 seconds!! But
that is opening up a can of worms that I don't want to be responsible for!!

30 vs 35
=========
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Roger,
I would like to weigh in on the 30g vs. 35g motor debate. I sense that this
"nostalgia desease" (thanks Hardy) for larger F1B motors is the result of
Tan II stockpiles depleting more than a concern about motor weight. I would
give the rubber manufacturer time to develop Tan Sport further. Look at the
long evolution of Tan and Tan II, which brought on the motor weight
reductions in the first place. I would bet that we will see torque reading
for Tan Sport that rival the best Tan II in one or two more team selection
cycles. Though we could quickly return to 35g, I suggest instead that we put
the dissapointing first round of the Finals out of our heads and take a
longer view of the current rubber situation.
How easily we forget the day when vintners and tire companies dictated the
quality of our rubber supply. John Clapp and the late Ed Dolby have spoiled
us.

30 Grams

30 Grams
The problem many overlook is that a reduction in motor weight compels folk
who like to build their own models, even if only components, to buy models
made in factories. This, coupled with a "Super Max" leads those who don't
want to buy a model to be un-competitive form the start of a contest.
I like performance. I always have. The higher, the better!
Bill
30g F1B's
=========
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
It's interesting to see all the discussions about the 30g rubber weight
in the current pre-post FAI Tan II days. It seems to me that the
discussion is somewhat off the track. Most people are talking about
whether their ship does 5 or 6 or 7 minutes in dead air or whether they
are faced with using Super Sport against someone else's hoarded stocks
of Tan II.
There's no doubt that SS is well down in practical performance compared
with Tan II. This is partly due to the 10-15% less overall energy and
partly due to the different shape of the energy release curve. However,
as I see it, the problem has little to do with the points I mentioned
above, but rather something more fundamental. That is the fact (an
undeniable fact) that we are losing fliers because they find the class
is no longer fun or has become too hard.
Now, before you super-motivated achievers start saying that if it's too
hard then they ought to play tiddleywinks, hear me out. These fliers
are not the hotshots at the top of the tree, who for the most part take
all rule changes in their stride. They are folks who make average
models and fill out the events, occasionally getting lucky with a place
or win. They often don't fly or buy the best models, they do it for
fun, which is their right. Unfortunately, if you had an average
right-left trimmed F1B which could do 3 1/2 minutes on Tan II, it's
starting to look pretty tired on SS.
Keep with me please, folks, while I paint a picture of wakefield in
Australia over the past 20 years.
Wakefield was declining in participation in this country in the 80's.
In our major events, F1A was always the most popular (as it is in many
places) but F1B was a long way behind. Then along came two events. The
first was the availability of good 'critical' hardware. Primarily I
mean commercial prop blades and hubs. The second was the advent of Tan
II.
In this period (from the early 90's on) we experienced nothing short of
a renaissance in F1B in Australia, with many fliers switching from
other classes, new people starting up and existing fliers being
revitalised. So much so that F1B comps started to show more competitors
than any of the other FAI classes.
When rubber weight was reduced from 40 to 35g it was of some concern
but most people coped with this change. However, when the FAI dictated
a 30g motor weight and at the same time increased the suggested first
round max to 5 minutes you could hear a collective groan. When Tan II
died at more or less the same time so did their hopes of doing well at
any decent competition. I know people who could (when it all went just
right) make the 3 1/2 minute max with 35g and then go on to have a
chance of maxing out. For these people, maxing out is a BIG thing.
These folks basically have NO hope of maxing out under the current
rules, so not surprisingly many have moved on to other things.
This is the crux of the biscuit folks. The grass roots fliers ARE Free
Flight. While we laud the 'gods' and some of us even aspire to their
heights, it will mean nothing if there is no-one left when we turn
around to look down from our lofty heights of 'achievement'.
I personally believe that the rubber weight should be increased by some
amount, 5 or 10g. If the price to pay is more performance by the top
end of town then so be it. Find another way to deal with the large
flyoff in that one contest every year. For the rest of the contests I
would like to see more people making the cut anyway. That WILL
encourage them to keep coming back.
Rubber Chronicles
=================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
This is my thought on the quality of today's F1B rubber. I am a power
flyer,
but understand what folks are saying about competing with rubber that is
not as good as the stuff some flyers still have.
In F1C I cannot use nitro methane fuel, even though I have it. I think the
rule change we should be looking at is NO TAN II in F1B unless the event
director can supply the same for all contestants. This may not be easy to
control, but time itself will eliminate the amount of Tan II available,
while also reducing the affectivity of Tan II.

To Jim and Klaus
Peter King
Just to set the record straight, in spite of what I said begore, I agree with
both Jim's and Klaus' remarks about F1B and will always do my best to be
competetive what ever the rules. That doesn't include retrograde ideas like
returning to a cross section rule, ROG etc that some of the Vintage oriented gu
ys
would like to see though. I am happy with the idea of rising to the challenge
of 30gms but also have a lot of sympathy with those who feel 35gms would
probably be about right with today's rubber. I must admit I do miss the awesom
e
performance of the old heated 40gm models even though they were becoming far to
good for the 3min max. However, I always have F1 grand Prix in mind when I
think of rule changes. It is amazing to see those guys have half their downfor
ce
removed or similar, increasing lap times by up to 2/3 secs and then watch as
the cars are developed during the season to end up going faster than the year
before!
FIA should be like that, the cutting edge of the hobby and as the F1 guys
say. Just give me the rules and I will still beat the rest of the teams. For a
bit of fun, can you imagine where we would be now if FAI, Bridgestone and
Michelin were developing rubber for us.. We would be using stuff giving out
10,000 ft/lbs/lb by now !! Anyone want to sponsor an F1B flyer to the tune
of
a few hundred million dollars a season? Bung in another $100,000,000 and I
could have my own dedicated wind tunnel working 24/7 and a simulation rig that
models every climatic condition at every major flying site, word wide. Don't
think that would go down very well with the bring back the BOM rule guys though
! Mind you F1 has it's own BOM rule, come to think of it. You have to
design and build your own car to comply with the FIA specs.

F1B rubber weight
=================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Dear Roger,
I am not convinced by any of the arguments so far for a return to 35 or
40g of rubber
for F1B. Perhaps the models were more exciting and the fly-offs were
bigger with
more rubber, but that is hardly the point of the contest! The fly-off
has always been
the exception to the rule in FAI, and I have always had most enjoyment
from contests
where people are dropping time and the placings evolve over 7 flights.
With 40g, F1B
was becoming like the UK Open Rubber or US Mulvihill - The maxes were a
formality
and the real contest was the flyoff. This situation has led some to
believe that maxes
should be abandoned completely and we have a flyoff only! Why turn F1B
into a
more advanced form of Open Rubber?!
Even if rubber weight were to decrease still further, each competitor is
competing to the
same rules, thus the contest begins on an equal footing (notwithstanding
rubber quality)
and is perfectly 'respectable'. The introduction of motor heaters
merely meant that
everyone used a motor heater, thus cancelling any competitive advantage,
so they were
rightly banned. Anything that involves more time and expense with no
competitive
advantage i.e. buying and making-up large rubber motors, similarly makes
no sense.
The modern F1Bs are perfectly capable of 3 minutes, provided that the
air is not poor,
so what is the point of turning them into 6 and 7 minute missiles? If
the point of free
flight was thrills, we would all fly 10cc power models or model rockets.
Finally, I think that Phil Ball's idea of coloured rubber is perhaps
practically a bit tricky,
but in theory is a good idea for 'levelling the playing field' and
having a contest based
on model design/trimming and thermal detection skill.
All the best,
Peter Martin

Hello,
I came across your website while trying to find more seller/buyer info for
the "Yearbooks" by Frank Zaic...Do you happen to know of any buyers for
these books? I have inherited them, in a sense, and want them to go to
someone who will truly enjoy them..seems to be somewhat of an underground
legend type of series..no real access to sell them on Amazon or other online
book marketplaces.
Thanks for your time,

Dear Roger,
There was a mistake in the previously published results of Canada Cup
2004 in F1A.
Here below is the corrected list. I have to talk to the contest
director. Probably the goulash was too strong for him or he dropped his
calculator in the soup.

we pushed this because we got it - but too late to go out
Dear Free Flighters,
The weather forcasts for this weekend are considerably
improved from what was previously being reported.
Indeed, weather.com for Middlefield, NY reports no rain
for Saturday&Sunday, wind from 5 to 12 miles per hour,
coming from the Southwest Saturday (that is the long
direction of the field) and from the West Southwest on
Sunday. Temperatures are typical for fall, so have a
jacket. CD Dave Acton at the field reports that the
sod has grown nicely, and the Dean Ford corn is mostly
cut. Lois Ford corn is still up. Here again is the
schedule. Thermals, Andrew Barron
