[RCSE] US altitude record

2006-07-28 Thread Mark Howard
For several years there has been a snafu at AMA reporting a record that Bob Vixie and I set in 2004. Model Aviation has the wrong info for open class (D) - F3 sailplane altitude gain. I've finally gotten around to posting a scan of the certificate on my website:

From time-to-time in this forum the topic of two meter sailplanes pops up. Frequently quoted is the now very tired Friends don't let friends fly two meters. Even so, over fifty apparently friendless sailplane pilots competed in the two day, two meter event at this year's 2006 AMA/LSF NATS

Jim, Thanks for the thoughtful post. I suspect that there are quite a few of us out here who, although we couldn't attend the NATS, are fans of 2 meter flying. I think that the demise of 2 meter is overrated and over-reported. There are still a good bunch who appreciated the attributes of

From: Jim Deck [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...the dominant design utilized by the top ten finishers was the venerable Duck... A very fine post in its entirety, Jim. 2-Meters is a world unto itself, and when good flyers go at it, it's a very worthwhile event. You have to launch to the moon, then

Was anyone flying the Mark Drela designed Aegea 2M at the NATS? The design for the Aegea 2M was posted to the Allegro-Lite group in August 2002, so it seems to be contemporaneous with the Mantis 2M the Organic 2M. On 29/07/2006, at 11:00 AM, tony estep wrote: From: Jim Deck [EMAIL

I am trying to figure out if my rudder turns are accurate. I think I am experienceing rudder stalls with my photon, from either too much deflection or from holding the deflection too long. In other word do I ever want the rudder to cause my plane to roll? Can someone explain to me what a
