Yep, Chuck's new channel checkin gadget works as advertised. Even when I
tried to fool him by doing my idgit glider pilot imitation. Looks like a great
toy for the price.
Sounds like Gordy would have had more fun at Tullahoma than the F3J gig. We
had beeeyoootiful!! weather and great air.
Scale is growing by leaps and bounds, wood, glass and in between, let's
not disparage, or infer a value judgment one over the other,(not saying
you intended that as such Jim). We all have something to gain from a
shared interest in scale soaring. Take those woodies to the JR Aerotow
next weekend
Well flew my first F3J event and it was in Denver with Skip Miller.
We had school kids paid to tow, and they were weak, giving me launches 30m
less altitude
I had wing connector problem on one launch disconnecting the aileron and
that caused a double pop offzero.
On another flight I
Learning to play with the big boys priceless!!

Gordy,
Ouch! Did anyone else experience such calamity or were the F3J gods
saving their wrath for you exclusively?

Today I had a chance to test out the range on a clubmate's Hobbico
Frequency checker. I also had my GPS receiver, Ed Wilson's ICOM
handheld scanner and a pair of earphones for the Freq checker's
antenna. The earphones were approximately 5.5 feet in length.
I set a man overboard point on my

Thanks for the report. Unfortunately mine is consistently giving all sorts of
false indications no matter where I take it. It even shows channels in use at

Incredibly poor luck Gordy.
I want to go on record to say that you are a true sportsman and competitor. Gordy took time out during the carnage to assist me in getting my Artemis KC back in action. I use Volz servos in this 7 year old model and to date have never stripped a gear or had a Volz

Gordy,
I'm sorry all that happened. I hope
tomorrow will be a better day.

The results are in and Gordy had a terrible spate of bad
luck. The good news is that there
was only one other plane totaled (Rich OConnell on launch) and a couple of
planes with minor damage. While
the air was challenging on Sat, today brought overcast skies, cool (55 degree)
temps and
So I was rummaging around the shop the other night, and pulled out my old
Calypso Cobra Lite. What a beautiful model, I could never bring myself to
selling it. So I cycled the batteries, and checked everything out... I
even brought it out to the field on Sat. but I only ended up flying a
This Gordy quote :Tower cost $200 for the weekend leads me to think F3J

free throws by either team.

F3whatever can be frustrating and expensive. They are great events, but you
really need to be ...committed. Sorry to hear that you had a less that optimal
event.
OTOH, we all had a great time in Tullahoma flying RES and Unl in flat air
with Chuckie, Kendall, Flyin Brian, Herbie,
It would have to be a Mercedes SLR to be doing 0-60 in sub 4... 8-)
(I could do 4.3 sec. 0-60's fairly repeatedly on my old SuperCar tires on
my Z06 with little to no traction in first, and getting a good shift to
second. I need to try out the new shoes I just put on it.)
