RUBBER LUBE
From:This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

In response to Paul's recent study, I have been testing new motors for the recent rule change for Mass Launch events at the upcoming Flying Aces Nationals in Geneseo New York. Previously, you could pack in any motor size you wished. Now you will be limited to 15% of empty model weight.
 
I have focused the testing on rubber size and cross sections. John Oldenkampt's inputs have been very helpful to these tests. However, Paul's work raises another point and I will try to replicate his studies with these new 15% motors.I will be using Dow 33 as the silicon product.  Paul...Thankyou. Results to follow.

Comment on F1J Sporting Code anomally

From: Chuck Markos and Ian Kaynes

Re Chuck Markos' comment in SEN 1207, this error has already been noted. Rather than re-issue the 2008 Sporting Code, which could result in a lot of people reprinting a copy of the code, the following notice was posted on the CIAM homepage on March 3 2008:

2008 edition of the F1 Sporting Code.
An error has been identified in rules 3.J.5 & 3.P.5. The rules should read as follows:

3.J.5. b) The motor run exceeds 5 seconds from the release of the model.
3.P.5. b) The motor run exceeds 7 seconds from the release of the model.

These errors will be corrected in the 2009 edition of the Sporting Code.

Stonehenge Query - Indoor Events ?

With further reference to the excellent British publication F/F Forum, or 3F as it's know colloquially, and the imminent scheduling of the Stonehenge Cup and co-located World Food Ordering Championship event, during the evening gathering at the renowned hostelry, the Bustard: the thought immediately springs to mind, what with this being an "Indoor" venue, will the Organizers take advantage of this fortuitous coincidence by providing a "Wood Selection" buffet ?  It seems this would be an ideal setting for those lucky enough to have already read and memorized their copy of Bob Bailey's latest 3F article, to put their newly honed skills to the test in this setting of International camaraderie, by getting to grips hands-on with some really challenging Wood Selection, while staying safely out of weather for which Stonehenge, and indeed the entire British Isles is synonymous, ie Indoors.
