Looking for F1E Fuselage

Roger, Could you please mention that I'm interested in a complete F1E fuselage, if someone out there has one for sale.



Thanks,

BOM and E35 in SEN 1802

 Roger,

I propose that in all AMA free flight events, except those in which scale
or charisma points are awarded, the builder of the model shall not be taken
into consideration.

My rational for leaving scale and Bostonian under the BOM is that the
construction and finish of the model is part of the score in competition. I
would want to hear from the FAC guys on this point of course.

Malcolm's France Photos

Hi all
 
I am just back from France and have assembled two sets of photos depicting
the 2013 Free Flight World Championships.  In the two links below, the first
link contains competition photos and the second link contains the opening
and closing ceremonies, plus the Poitou and Moncontour banquets.
 
 
Competition photos:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/motor-racing-photography/sets/72157635354191127 (Preview) /          (246 photos)
 
Ceremonies and Banquets:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/motor-racing-photography/sets/72157635362523182 (Preview) /        (193 photos)
 
 
You can simply review full set of photos as first displayed simply by
scrolling, or click on the first image (or any image) to get a larger view
from that point onwards and use the arrows on the screen to advance through
the set.  You can also go "full screen" using one of the controls in the
bottom right corner of the screen, using the "X" displayed in the top right
of the screen to return to the smaller size photo.
 
Each photo is fairly large so there may be a wait time as you go from photo
to photo, but I reckon they're worth the wait.  The bonus is that going back
through the downloaded photos is very fast.   
 
If you like them, let me know.  It makes my effort more worthwhile.
 
 
Kind regards to my friends across the world,

BOM  Ref


Although it is accepted that FAI outdoor FF events (but not Indoor FF) are
excepted from the BoM requirement, I could not find such statement in the
FAI Sporting Code after spending much time in the search.  I did, however,
find one portion of the Sporting Code (Sec 4, Vol ABR, paragraph B.3.1. a),
page 38:  *

B.3.1. Competitor
*

a) Unless stated otherwise, the competitor named on the entry form must be
builder of the model
aircraft entered.

So please help...where is the "stated otherwise" to be found in the
Sporting Code?

Thanks,
Chuck Markos

Chuck under the section for each class of model in Section 4 Aeromodelling , Volume F1 Free Flight

for example under F1A 3.1.2 that describes the Characteristics
it says that :

Rule B.3.1.a of Section 4B does not apply to F1A


The same is under the other classes F1B, F1C, etc  This exclusion is not there for F1D for example so the BOM rule applies to that class.
