3. It's not just a few mentors
4. Lost Hills Update

Let's see: near-perfect Wx = great performances = many happy faces!

Sixtyfive flyers made 727 official fights by my count.
That includes more than a double fistful of maxes for Tim Batiuk during his record-breaking run to beat his own OHLG record with 45:50, for the high
time of whole contest!
Stan B was 2nd with 12 maxes. So combined they did 34 maxes, or 20
more than the combined total for the rest of us chuckers!
Brian Pacelli was a superstar also, as he won both F1B & F1P flyoffs.

It was that kind of weekend, boys & girls.
Greenery all over, mild temps, no dusters blowing, max breeze maybe 5 MPH,
beaut sky full of thermalling free flight ships, with surprisingly few downdrafts, great evening air for FOs & endless test flying ..what more
could one ask for?

Quite a few juniors attended, including some from the East Coast who could
not get here last month due to the horrid storms in their areas. Rocco Ferrario
brought down a happy group of kids from Napa for the small glider events.

Hector Diez & Jim Parker dealt with the equipment shed items & on-field
score control. The scoring table was ably handled by Sharron Emery, Mike
Thompson, Dean Clark, Tim Batiuk and myself.
I sincerely thank them all, as it eased the load considerably.

Ciao,
from yr hmbl CD & srvnt,
Leeper

I enjoyed reading Martin Dilly's piece on the restricted model proposals. Well written and to the point, as we have come to expect from Martin. However, I must take exception to his comment about the US Junior program. He states 'In the USA it seems to be a case of a few enthusaistic mentors and personal benefactors'. Being the chairman of the committee that organizes junior activities in the US, let me state that there are many more than just a few mentors, almost the entire free flight community are mentors. And benefactors as well. The US Junior Team is solely supported by donations from this same community. And I would remind you that this is no easy task, being as we have to travel from the US to Europe for every Championship. Point is, the only way it works is because everyone is involved, not just a few.

Missing SEN

- name of person removed because it's really for general information

Sportsman

I can't easily resend missing SEN to individuals. I do resend to blocks if there is a big foul up. You can always get back numbers online at www.faifreeflight.org 

At the present no major ISP or public SPAM organization is blocking SEN [except for University of Newcastle, which is not your problem!]

Hi Roger,
                I seem to have missed out on 1382 and 1383, due possibly to the usual IP issues you refer to from time to time. It must be only to do with certain content as the latest edition 1384 came through fine. Could you please resend me 1382 and 1383 please with a separate email to let me know. If we still have problems I'll look for another email address as a solution,

 Lost Hills Update

I got a call from Scott at the Lost Hills campground to give me a heads up that a trailer had been stolen and another broken into and that if I was concerned I should take my trailer home.  In both the spring and fall I keep my trailer at Lost Hills because there are a number of contests close together and it have to fuel cost in towing it up from home. He reported and in recent weeks there has been an increase in crime in Lost Hills. This is wider in scope than the campground and the motels have also had some incidents.

I the good new side I was able to find an alternate storage place not too far from Lost Hills that is more secure with an on site person and dog.  In addition this other place rents trailers and will put them on-site.  Most of his customer are boaters who go to Buena Vista and the like. He tows the trailer on site and sets it up for the customer and them takes it away afterwards. It might work for some out of town visitors for Fantastic February or Endless October as a tow vehicle is not required. Admittedly the owner has not seen our flying site ...
