Hi Roger,
Thanks to you, Norm & Old Al for putting on a great contest!
Cody & I had a great time.....
I have to admit that I almost was not going to come because of the
weather...Ken B & I talk about this all the time and have decided most of
the time the weather will be good enough to fly regardless of what the
weather man says...
See Ya Friday..
Randy
Yes Randy ..
It was a great two weeks of flying . variable, but good weather conditions.
Two Great World Cup contests, Two great Amedrica's cup events and National Cup events.
Sucessful America's Cup banquet.
On the F1E front a plan to find a taller hill.
and even some F1Q models ... wilol we some Aerovironment F1Q next year ?
Alex, Jim or is this a retirement activity for Biggles ?
.. and as you say lots of help from Al and Judy Hotard, Mary Smith, Sharon Emery, GB
and Norm Furutani. I hear it even motivated Normy to get out his F1Bs again.
Foil for Eduardo Molfi no
==========================
Author : This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
you recently inquired about Aluminum foil.
I responded with a quote for a full roll ( the only roll remaining )
Silence
I gather you didi not need a full roll
So, in the spirit of being usefull to a fellow modeller - I have since
found some smaller pirces, at reasonable cost....that may be of interest.*
( although, shipping anyting to the other half of our hemisphere will =
have some cost )
So, let me know
..... it would be interesting to hear what use you have for he foil..

London rejects thin model ban
=============================
From: "Martyn Cowley"
As reported in recent British tabloids, thin is out and cross-section
is in ! But London has so far rejected a British Cabinet minister's
call for a ban on extremely thin models, and canceled a photo call to
avoid giving the issue more publicity.
Madrid announced last week that it was banning models with a mass
index, or length-to-weight ratio, of less than 18. Also, the mayor
of Milan, Letizia Moratti, said she would call on her city's
designers to take similar action to ban thin models.
Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell of Britain said Sunday, "I applaud the
decision taken by Madrid to ban super-thin models, and urge other
organizers to do the same."
The British Council, said in a statement that it "does not comment or
interfere in the aesthetic of designers."
If this ban does go into effect, first to suffer is sure to be Ed
Bennet's aptly named "Thin Man" rubber design. If and when this
happens, you can expect to see re-implementation of the cross-section
rule, and a return to models with more frontal area !

California Cup F1E results report
=================================
The 2nd annual California Cup for F1E class gliders was successfully
flown on 13 Feb,2007 at Holloway Gypsum's largest mesa.
It is located about 1 mile SE of our Lost Hills, CA flying field.
Eight rounds were flown, beginning @ 0830, ending @ 1430.
Breezes were moderate, with coolish temps for the 7 entrants.
It was unanimously voted to cancel the lunch break.
This was to accomodate the Isaacson F1E fliers, who had to stop
their Monday contest after two rounds were flown.
They completed their flying beginning @ 1500, after our awards ceremony.
Results follow:

Seen at the Maxmen but not really promoted a new BlackMagic timer mounting
box. This is a box in initially in F1A [and F1B later ] versions that included a
battery harnes wih charge jack. This box can be screwed against the side of the
F1A pod mounts the timer in a secure fashion. The timer can be removed and swapped
out with undoing just one screw. The mount protects the connections on the back from
touching the conducting parts of the airpmane. The F1A will be shipped shipped
from thr beginning of March. The cost of the F1A version including the battery
connector, charge jack and timer power lead is $25.
