Shorter Endless October 2008 Sierra Cup
From: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

For those that flew at the 2007 Sierra Cup, we had great weather and competition. The Banquet at the Wasco Elks club was up lifting as we honored Roger Simpson and the rest of the Sierra Eagles for the wonderful Sierra Cup tradition.  My special thanks to Mike McKeever for being the key transition force that has brought this great tradition and  World Cup contest to SCAT. 
Mike and I brainstormed some ideas for 2008 and put a proposal to the club to hold 2008 Sierra Cup mid-week, after Livotto's but before the Finals as indicated below. The club vote was overwhelming in favor. So 2008 will be a test. I imagine we'll go back to the normal weekend format on non-finals years. The finals dates are from the Team Selection Newletter and Program. 
So in less than two weeks, three major events can be flown,  in less than 7 days, 2 major events can be flown. Shorter Endless October 2008.
2008 Lost Hills:
Sat Oct 4. Livotto's
Sun Oct 5 Livotto's
Mon Oct 6
Tues Oct 7 Sierra Cup Open
Wed Oct 8 Sierra Cup  Minis
Thur Oct 9 Sierra Cup Reserve
Fri Oct 10 Finals processing
Sat Oct 11 Finals, F1A-C
Sun Oct 12 Finals, F1C-B
Mon Oct 13 Finals, F1B-A (Columbus Day)
Tues Oct 14 Finals reserve day
Thermals, 
Jim Parker  SCAT president

and for those visitors with excess end of year vacation/holidays to burn or just plain retired, it's rumoured that the "Vegas" contest will be the following weekend. For those who have not flown on El Dorado dry lake it's a great site with a very large flat open space and certainly different from Lost Hills.

Has anyone worked on converting a portable GPS into a model recovery unit? Just thought it would be very good in visualizing and finding where our models go. Just a thought. I don't know if this is possible. That way we could have voice turn by turn tracking?

Curiosity prompts a query...
From: Lee Hines




The most recent update of FAI World Cup results still do no show
Von Hafe nor Aviaprom listings.
Does ANYONE know the results out there in SEN readership land?
[maybe this might prompt the organizers to be a bit proactive and
send them to Ian Kaynes...hmmm?]
Just wondering,
I am,
Curious Leeper
