STONEHENGE CUP 2006
====================
Peter Watson.

Anyone examining my computer records for the week leading
up to the Stonehenge Cup, could be excused for thinking
that I had a bizarre fetish with internet weather sites.
Not true, although in the past my wife has accused me of
having an affair with a sheet of balsa.

As usual the weather did play a significant part in this
years event, although thankfully it never rained.
Saturday had a steady moderate breeze all day, and the
max was reduced for some rounds, because of cows
downwind. A few volunteers stood near the cows, and no
eating or trampling incidents occurred.

Fly offs were delayed in the hope that the windspeed
would decrease, but it never did. Woolner, Vivchar, and
Van Hoorn, all made the 7 minute max in F1B. In F1C,
Screen flew very late in the round, and found better air
than those who flew earlier.

Sunday dawned warm, sunny, with very light drift. What
was expected to be the conclusion of F1B took place at
8:30, when all 3 contenders launched in to gentle lift,
going for 10 minutes. Van Hoorn stalled out of the lift,
but Wooner, and Vivchar were very high at 10 minutes,
with no D/T’s, but both models were successfully
retrieved.

Is this the first time that 2 F1B’s have made the 10
minute max in a contest ?.

F1A started at 9:00 in very pleasant, warm, benign
conditions. Sixteen made the fly off, which under the
conditions at the time looked as if it could go on
forever. However the weather suddenly changed, and the
only fly off required was held in a cool moderate breeze,
with no apparent lift, and won by young Russian, Mikhail
Kosonozhkin.

The prizegiving took place, and was followed by the
conclusion of F1B, when Woolner made the 7 minute max in
the cool breeze.

Overall, a successful Stonehenge Cup, with a slight
increase in foreign participation. For a variety of
reasons, it is always going to be difficult to get people
to cross the Channel, but if we are going to build on
this, we desperately need fresh input, and help. A lot of
those involved have been so for along time, and need a
break. Examine your conscience, and volunteer to the
FFTC.

As a late, and sceptical convert to the electronic age, I
am 100% convinced that computers make events such as this
more manageable, and mobile phones should now be
considered as an essential item of everyone’s field
equipment.
Finally, a big thank you to all those involved, good luck
to my successor, and remember, ‘The weather rules
everything’.


A Tale of two Contests
======================

I read in Peter Watson’s note a comment about his desire to
encourage people to cross the Channel [or Pond?] to take
part in a World Cup Contest. I’m currently on a 3 week
business trip to the UK and decided to take my models with
me and fly in Peter’s contest, the Stonehenge Cup. I had
flown that contest the previous year under similar travel
conditiond but had done badly because physical fatigue.
Often when I travel I do a day’s work in Europe, generally
the UK, and then when I get back to the hotel have to do my
e-mails and phone calls back to my office in Los Angeles.
So typically I do not get enough sleep.

This year I was able to organize my UK business a little
better so I could leave during the afternoon and drive down
from London, avoiding the major traffic snarl up that
affected many of the other contestants.

Firstly for what ever it’s worth I like Salisbury Plain
[the real Stonehenge site] better than Barkston Heath [last
year’s]. The army is messing it up a bit as the military are wont by
planting for trees for soldiers to hide behind or something
and they have some radio controlled cows, but in spite of
all of that there is a lot of space. I just did not get my
game face on soon enough so dropped the first round . Edge,
Fantham and henchmen made plenty of announcements and it
was clear what was going on at all time. They made special
efforts to make sure that Vladimir Vivchar, who’s English,
is not as good as his brother understood changes in
schedule. Being English gentlemen flyers, the only flew 5
rounds and had a generous lunch break. I would have
preferred to fly seven rounds and start earlier. I know it
harder to get early breakfast in the UK but it’s even
harder to get a calm morning. They cut the round to 150
seconds, all that did was make my models land closer to the
cows when otherwise they over flew them.

Seeing I was in Europe and had my models I looked to see
what was on the next weekend. I found that the Sezimovo
Usti contest in the Czech Republic was the work cup event
that weekend. I have a soft spot for the Czech Republic as
that was the first US team I was on in 1997. The Veschov
site was similar to Sazena, along light plane airstrip,
good if the wind blows in the prevailing direction along
the strip but plenty of obstacles in the other directions.

So I checked up on the contest with some of my Dutch F1B
friends, their comment was interesting, They like going but
were not sure why because the organizer did a number of
things that were demotivating to say the least. I’ll
explain later.

So I finished work a little early on Friday, flew to
Prague, the flight was an hour late, got a rental car and
drove the 100Km or so to Sezimovo Usti and stayed in the
Hotel Mas , the official hotel. Contrary to the UK contest
I did not know any of the sportsmen in the restaurant,
except Pera and Ivan Kolic, who invited me to share their
table for dinner. [In the UK I knew Vladimir, the Sieferts,
Klaus Salzer, Mikhail Kosonoshkin, etc and well as many of
the English flyers I have seen at numerous events.]

I followed Pera to the field as the directions were vague
and there were no signs. I got signed up and they gave me
the contestant packet. On my pole there were two leading
world cup contenders in Serge Teduschi and Ivan Kolic plus
a strong Czech, 2 Swiss flyers and me. I ended up in the
last flying position. It became apparent that I was in
trouble because I almost did not get a flight in on the
very first round. – No one took particularly long but 6
people to a pole is 10 minutes each, I commented on this to
the organizer and he said that it was the contestant’s
problem to organize the time. I was left with about 5
minutes to get my flight and did so. While the contestants
need to work together, but putting so many on a pole the
organizer created a situation that did not encourage a
sporting event or sporting result.

This situation was made worse by the fact that the wind –
according the jury report and my meter was 4-8 m/s across
the field and the models were going into crops, farm
building, a railway line and trees. Mine ended up on the
roof of a house, the home owner was not home so I left it
there and went back and got another model.

Of the people on my pole I was clearly the most handicapped
by the least support, Serge had his motor home, wife,
bicycle, etc. Ivan had Pera helping chase, it was the Czech
flyer’s home country, his wife was helping and the 2 Swiss
had family members etc. I do not have an issue with all of
that but to be the last flyer … and reading Peter’s
words... do you want someone to come back? For whatever’s
its worth if you’ve flown on a team with Alexander
Andriukov, Blake Jensen or Walk Ghio, you are ready to fly
when ever and can wind fast to get the model off so this
stood me in good stead. [And, although this is another
story if you’ve read the book Blink, make fly/no fly
decisions quickly].

In the 4th round the flyer before me was just getting ready
with 15 minutes to go, by the time he was to the line there
was less than 10 minutes, so I wound too. It turned out
that there were 4 time keepers on the pole, so two took the
other flyer and two me. I flew first and maxed the other
followed but was too late. My max was not recorded, either
because that did not like what I did or the other time
keeper forgot.

I did not dispute it because I could find my model, the
batteries in my tracker Receiver died and I could not get a
good signal. So I ended up missing around while I went to
the gas station. To do that I had to drive past the F1A
line, it was not clear to me if there people there were
waiting to fly or not because someone has commented that
there was a lunch break. The flyer did not want to move so
I drove on the grass to give him a wide birth,
unfortunately I snagged his line and got a lot of abuse,
the organizer did not intervene – as like the contestant
flying order this is between contestants! Fortunately a
lady came along, Ms Seren, I think, who directed me in
English to go back and forward until we had sorted things
out.

I then went to the gas station, got my batteries and went
back to pick up both models, I could not find either
because someone had found both and brought them back. When
I had sorted this I flew the remaining two rounds.

There was later an announcement [in Czech] asking if there
were questions on the score or protests, but seeing I did
not understand it I did not question why they gave 2 zero
not just one.

In the end, the reason why I had trouble was my own fault,
not having replaced my tracker batteries. I do not
consider my self to be a great flyer, I know what to do to
give myself a better chance of winning, in terms or
preparation, ground support, etc and because of the
situation cannot do all of those things when I got an event
like this, I accept that, but on the other hand, I have won
one world cup contest this year and scored points in others
so would have not been happy if I was not even able to get
a flight in the first round !

So I did not win one of those magnificent glass trophies,
but did very much appreciated the hospitality of a bunch of
the locals from the Sezimovo Usti club, F1B flyers of
course! at the prize giving and for dinner after wards….

For you Peter, and any other organizer I’m not a typical
flyer, but there are others like me who still work! E.g.
Michael Siefert, Charlie Jones, etc who can try and
squeeze some events in. To encourage people like me to take
part.

Have a comprehensive e-mail package with full details, plus
hotel information.

Do not put 6 contestants on a pole. Four is a better
number.

Make all announcements in one of the FAI languages and
often. It’s better to talk too much than too little.

Sign post the field entrance

Seed contestants in the flying order based on the weighted
sum of this year’s World Cup and last years World Cup
score. I remember a comment from Bob Piserchio, a lone
American that year at Poitou – being told by his fellow
sportsmen on his pole that they took a vote and decided he
would fly last. Maybe a good game plane for the contestants
but not for the organizer.

Make an effort to be hospitable to visiting flyers not
matter if they are ‘important’ or not.

F1C FOLDERS
===========

Peter Watson

I recently looked at the FAI definition (Rule 3.3.1) of
a F1C model, which is as follows,

Model aircraft in which the energy is provided by a
piston type motor and in which lift is generated by
aerodynamic forces acting on surfaces remaining fixed in
flight, except for changes of camber or incidence.
Models with variable geometry or areas must comply with
the specifications when the surfaces are in minimum and
maximum extended mode.

This rule was obviously written before folding wing F1C’s
were conceived.
Clearly the surfaces of these models are not fixed in
flight.

Is the folding of the wings, simply a change in camber ?.
It could be argued that the camber has not changed, as
the wing panels are only connected at the hinges, and
latch up mechanism.
The rule obviously covers flapped wings, but I feel it is
flawed in relation to folding wings.
Ultimately, if a model was designed with wings that
folded completely, inside the fuselage, for the climb
phase, surely this could not be considered a change in
camber.
Am I missing something with this rule ?.

F1Q-timer
=========
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.



Hello there,
I read about your ideas about a F1Q-timer in SEN.
If you think about developing something new in this direction it is my
belief that not only DT, but VIT and rudder must be part of the servo
functions. This does not necessarily mean a fine direct incidence control as
with current F1A or F1C timers, but intermediate positions to release trip
wires would be sufficient.
The power to weight ratio of even a conservative setup with a brushless
outrunner would be very difficult to trim without these features.
(and I am quite sure that the next step would be a bunt setup as well
...:-)).
On the other hand: For the mechanical minded a simplified version might just
deliver the motor control impulses if a switch controlled by a mechanical
timer is activated.
I would like to be informed about your further developments!

SUSPECTED FRAUDULENT TRADING - URGENT

I recieved a note from Nick Bosdet, with the above subject complaining about the
commerical practices of the "International Model Group" Steov Oleg's FAI's model
building enterprise.

It is SEN's policy to to get involved in disputes between suppliers and customer.
Normally we do not even mention that we we have recieced such an e-mail.
However in this case we have got other complaints about IMG.

So if you have have some outstanding issues with IMG, I suggest trhat
you contact Nick directly your self.
