Hi Tom, There has been a lot of talk recently about 2Meter gliders and of the disadvantages they have verses open class gliders. At times, do to conditions, a 2M is at a disadvantage but I have flown my 2M against open class planes and won. As I recall, 2 years ago a 2m plane beat everyone at

[RCSE] AMA Insurance

2002-08-16 Thread John Erickson
It seems this issue does come down to insurance. Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever filed a claim with the AMA? My understanding is that any claim first is addressed at the individual level, ie. personal policy. Next is insurance on the site by others. AMA is down the line at spot number

[RCSE] Angle of attack question...

What kind of angles of attack do you guys think a wind sees during normal sized, high speed circles?? I'm think on some foils for a DS specific plane and have been thinking that the wing might see 10'-12' AOA. I'm pretty useless at math (and most other forms of higher thinking) so I'm

1) The AMA does indeed pay out. Don't take my word for it, ask them. 2) I don't recollect any combat incident at TP. I know that R/C planes have "collided" with other fliers at least once because a couple of months back there was a RCSE post referencing a picture of aparaglider returning
