The rest of the story
We got a posting saying that Reid Simpson had won a Euro Champs F1C back in the 60s. So we went to the list of World and Continental Championship results that Ian Kaynes maintains at http://www.freeflightnews.org.uk/champs/mast.htm At this site Ian says that the champs did not start officially until 1972 although there is some question about 1970.
I remembered something about both Simpsons, Reid and Roger being in Europe so I wrote to Roger asking for clarification.
Roger's story shows how lifelong sporting friendships are made by just showing up at contests big and small and flying together.
now the story ...
HI Roger,
Good questions to ask, with good reason. First off, our presence in Europe was because of being in the Air Force and being stationed in Germany….. Reid 1966 to 1970, myself 1967 to 1971.
Reid and I both belonged to German Aero Clubs, Reid in northern Bavaria, I in the state of Hesse (Wiesbaden). In local, State, and German Nationals contests, we flew representing our local German Aero Clubs. In all of the International contests we flew in we flew as Americans, with the exception of the then Europa Coupe for the F1C event only, held each year in Homburg Saar, Germany, which was attended by teams from almost all of the European countries.
In 1968 Reid placed second in F1C at the German Nationals. Germany selected the German team for the F1C Europa Coupe from the first three positions in F1C at their Nationals. Reid flew in the 1968 Europa Coupe representing Germany, and if my memory serves me well, placed either second or third.
As for myself, in 1970 I won the F1C event at the Alpine Cup International Contest in Zell am See, Austria, flying as an American, and then that summer I won the German Nationals representing the Wiesbaden Aero Club.
I then received a written invitation from the Yugoslavian Aero Club inviting me to compete in the 1970 F1C European Championships being held in Zagreb, Yugoslavia. I accepted the invitation and drove to Yugoslavia with my lifetime friend Tassilo Schwend, a German F1C competitor who was on the German team.
I won the European Championships, competing as an American, in a flyoff with two Czech competitors. Yes, I flew as a guest, but was awarded first place. The German F1C team (with Tasillo as a team member) placed first in the team competition…. We were very happy during our drive back to Germany.
Right after I got back I flew in the Europa Coupe F1C contest as part of the German team as I had won the German Nationals and had qualified for the team. I placed third in the contest which was one of the windiest contests I have ever flown in, right up against the max wind speed.
Both of the contests had suit and tie banquets following the competitions with formal award ceremonies. Both Reid and I were fully accepted in the European Aeromodeling community and were treated with much respect.
Yes, much detail, but I felt it was necessary to fully explain and answer your questions. I have read Mike A’s lobbying for opening up the European Championships to everyone. I do not think they should and such lobbying accomplishes nothing.

SW FAI Challenge Flash
Day One
F1A - Brian Van Nest, Peter Brocks
F1B - Blake Jensen, Bob Tymchek, Bob Piserchio
F1C / FAI Power - Bill Booth, Drake Hooke
F1Q Jack Murphy, Alan Meacham, Drake Hooke
Big item was Bob Tymchek's return to flying after about 5 years off with various medical issues and making the F1B Flyoff to boot.
Days 2 AND 3 from Mike Richardson
Southwest FAI Challenge is now finished for 2016. Sunday evening the wind howled all night long on the lake bed. At 2:30 in the morning I checked the weather report and my heart sank. It called for 20-25mph winds. Well at 5am it dropped to 5-8 which was a big relief. We finished by 10 and said our goodbyes. At 11 o'clock the winds were light and variable. Never fails!
F1H was captured by Brian VanNest followed by Blake Jensen.
F1S was won by Jack Murphy followed by Dick Ivers and Drake Hooke.
F1G was humble me in first followed by Geralyn Jones and Peter Brocks.
Gap day in flying at the USA Team Finals?
From : aram schlosberg
Our Finals have two contests for three events. Two of the events fly back-to back, while the other has a non-flying day in between. However, similar weather conditions are likely on two consecutive days. If we would like to test fliers under different flying conditions, there should be a gap day in flying for all three events.
This can be achieved if say A flies on the first and third day, while B flies on the second and fourth day. C being the smallest event, could be attached to A – flown on the first and third day. In such a setup, only B flies on the second and fourth day and – allowing those days to be used for extra flyoffs or tie breakers for A and C.
More timing is required when flying over four days. In this example, B times on the first and third days, C times on the second day with an assist from A (being the smallest event) and A times on the fourth day as well. Since only B is flying on the fourth day, it could include extra B flyoffs. And if there are still ties, they would be settled by the absolute times on B’s previous flying day.
This suggestion utilizes Final’s reserve day for flying, retaining the Finals foot print. Each event has a gap-day in flying. In the next Finals (2020), A and B flying would be switched.
