Bauer Report
============
The Jr WC is over. The F1P flyoff started at 7:30 this morning in good
conditions with moderate drift and cool smooth air. Anthony Ferrario
went off first with a normal pattern and started gliding well. Then
Cody Secor fired up his Astro Star and put up another perfect corkscrew
power pattern just like he did all day yesterday. He got higher than
Anthony and started gliding well. The Polish flyer then launched but
the model went somewhat off pattern and did not get as high as the
other two. As they drifted downwind Cody's model was nearly blocked by
trees as it decended and we were worried that he would get clocked off
early, but it fortunately skirted just to the side of the trees and the
timers saw it for 311 seconds. Anthony did 296 seconds and the Polish
flyer was less than that, so Cody is the new world champ with Anthony
placing second.
The F1A flyoff started at 8am in the same conditions with 7 flyers.
Tyler Secor was one of the first to go up and start circle towing
upwind and to the right of the line over the runway. About halfway
through the 10 min window Tyler decided to go and got off a beautiful
launch. About the same time several of the other flyers went off as
well, some straight towing up and off. Tyler's model glided well and
came down slowly and did about 3:49 as I remember and ended up in 4th
place. The official scores are still not posted. The winner was a
girl from Slovakia that I believe did around 4:30. The model looked
like a normal thermal model so she must have found a sweet spot in the
air. Overall Tyler and all the US kids were very happy.
Tonight is the closing ceremony and tomorrow we leave. The US team
shirts are a hot commodity as all the other kids are already trading to
get them. There is a great sprit of friendship as all the kids are
hanging around together. This afternoon the German kids were at our
hotel swimming and having fun with our team. Our hotel accomodations
were great as the hotel is part of a sports center. There is a bowling
alley right under our room where the guys have spent some time, but the
big hit is the indoor pool and spa which features a big water slide.
Our entire team goes swimming about every day now, and the whole bunch
of them will pile into the entrance of the slide and go down together
all crashing together in a big pile at the bottom. I've got pictures of
this. Apparently one of the hotel people was yelling at them in German
saying something like "one at a time", but they just responded with,
"sorry, we don't speak German"! These boys have gotten about as close
as any team I've witnessed and they are thrilled with the team
victories.
So despite the poor weather and barbed wire fence, it all turned out OK.
I've giving the US perspective of course, so others please write about
your own teams.
Here's a few other stories before I end-
Our boys encountered several problems which resulted in attempts, but
each time they pulled together and got off a great reflight. Paul
Shailor had his F1B motor start prematured on the ground and broke some
prop blades, but recovered and flew fine. Later he was called for a
model processing check and told his model was too big which really
rattled him, but then it was discovered that they were not measuring
correctly and all was actually OK. Then there is a TV crew watching him
and apparently his stab is not hooked up right and he crashes with a 5
sec flight. Evan Simon then flies while Paul gets another model ready
and he throws up another max.
About the 6th round of F1B Evan Simon is the last one to go with about
10 minutes left in the round. He launches but the DPR time is set too
long and the model stalls before the prop starts and then crashes.
Taylor Gunder helps him get the backup model ready and he winds and
launches with about 4 minutes left and gets the max.
Chasing was made more difficult because almost every max flight went
over the fence almost every day, and there was only a couple open gates
in the fence for the entire airport perimeter. Sometimes models came
back by car and sometimes they were handed over the fence. Only a
couple of our flights landed in trees but they were recovered thanks to
the pole than Henning brought. Cody had one flight in a huge thermal
which was up for about 6 minutes and went 2.5 km. I helped track it
using GPS coordinates but Taylor Gunder beat me to it and found it in
the backyard of a house in a nearby village. All the models came back
OK.
Ask me, or better yet ask the boys for more stories when they get home.

Hotard Report

[For those who do not know - Al and Judy Hortard were planning to go to the Jnr Champs,
two of their grandsons - Tyler and Cody Secor were on the USA team. Judy had to go
into hospital at the last moment and they could not go.
Al is the 'father' of the America's Cup and used to be a determined sportsman. In recent
years they have both help with the running of major events and with coaching the grandsons.
So evethough Al and Judy could not make it to Germany we would like to share with the
joy of the family team's outstanding performance]
Family & Friends: Friday 8/25/06
This has been quite a morning!!! First,-------about our guys in Germany at
the Junior World Championships. Randy called this morning with really
fantastic news!------I already told you that the USA Teams came in FIRST in F1A
Glider, F1B Rubber Powered, and F1P Gas Powered!!! How about that????!!!!!
But, there is more;------Cody was in the final flyoff against two other
competitors in F1P, and he came in FIRST!!!! And, Tyler was in the final flyoff
against seven other competitors in F1A Glider, and, he came in Fourth!!!!!
How about that???!!! We are so, so, proud of these Grandsons! They sure are
going to get a bunch of great big hugs when they fly in Monday to LAX!!
That is an amazing set of performances by all our Junior team members--and,
especially our own Grandsons!! Our congratulations to them, and, all the parents
and other adults who made this Championships such a success. And,---the
flying conditions were just terrible--rain & wind on a field that most certainly
not the best. WAY TO GO GUYS AND GALS!!!!!!!!
Now, our other good news. Grandma Judy is doing really well in the
hospital. She looks great, is eating well, is walking up and down the hall without a
walker, and they took out the catheter this morning. There is a good chance
she can go home tomorrow---she was waiting to see what the doctor has to
say, later today. So,----keep your fingers crossed! This has been a great
morning for me!!

Limiting Performance of FAI Classes....
=======================================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Many years ago, as editor of the infamous Bat Sheet, I proposed a semi-sane and
sensible method of limiting performace of the FAI Classes. That would be wingspan
limits. If I remember correctly, I suggested 2 meters for F1A, 1.5 meters for F1B,
and 1.7 meters for F1C.
The benefits would be slower climbs, poorer still air performance, etc. But most
mportant, the models would be much easier to build from common hobby shop materials.
Composits would still have some advantages, but not as much, so modelers all over
the World would be able to build pretty much equal equipment, at home on the kitchen table.
The models would be easier to fly, would not require bunt transitions, etc.
Can anybody think of a reason why this would not be a good thing for FAI Free Flight?
