Re: [RCSE] 18 minute tasks...

I say yah dude! I was one of the turkey winners and pulled one out of my 'landing sequence' at 50 feet to do a little better than the rest of the group. It made my weekend. I really like the seeded MOM as it is never boring in the last few rounds. Although it was 18 Min. I did about a 10 and

[RCSE] LSF Tasks

Are the LSF tasks the same now as they were back in the 70s? If so, with the exception of the competition requirements, would it not be easier today to accomplish those tasks? When you compare the performance of todys stuff verses what was flying then, I would think it may be a little easier

[RCSE] Eraser tip

At our F3J contest today My friend Michael and I tangled in a midair resulting in his sailplane having some damage to the tip of his Eraser. So he needs a right tip Does anyone have one?? Jeff

[RCSE] RE: De emphasized landings at Midsouth???

Jon, I have been to the same contests. In my mind, they are landing contests, pure and simple. It's a given that some guys are going to make their times just about every time. They are participating in a landing contest because that's all that separates them. Why, then, have 100 point landings.

RE: [RCSE] LSF non-competition program ideas (long) (part 3 of 3)

I think Don has given this idea a lot of thought. It has so many valid points, mainly the infusion of non-contest fliers that are now flying, but non-fliers as witnesses so as to encourage them to be fliers and LSF participates. I would encourage the new (2004) board to give these 3 pages of

[RCSE] WANTED-- Viking Models Contestant Fuse

Does anyone out there have a Viking Models Contestant fuse they want to sell. Or can whoever now owns the molds made me one. Thanks EDG Pittsburgh

Re: [RCSE] LSF non-competition program ideas

Don has presented some good ideas and I wish him well, however I see two obstacles to implementing them. First, who is going to do all the work. The current LSF officials have more than enough work to do administering what they already have. That means another officer (secretary for non

Re: [RCSE] LSF Tasks

Walter, having just completed my Level 5 last Sat. at age 60, I will tell you that my first choice glider for 8 hrs of slope was a 100 Big Birdy (gas bag). The glider that I actually finished the slope task was my wife's 2M Spirit. I did my 2 hr. thermal with a large composite poly ship that I

[RCSE] LSF Voting eligibility

I'd venture to say if count was taken, there are more level 3 LSF members than any other level, followed by 4, 2, 1 and 5. It would seem that leaving out the votes from the largest group isn't in the best interest of the membership. gv -Original Message- From: Steve Meyer [mailto:[EMAIL

Re: [RCSE] cool your angst- buy a doo dad

John, if you were to fly with my club, the Greater Detroit Soaring and Hiking Society, you would fly all year long with us and even fly at our annual Snow Fly, now into it's 4th decade without interuption, and not have to worry about what to do during the long winter months. Regards,

Re: [RCSE] LSF non-competition program ideas

Chuck, Your statement below is pretty bogus if you ask me. As whole through the years I have seen many more non-competitive flyers helping out than just a few. Most contests I go to, the brunt of the work force are pilots that are not flying in the contest. This is especially true of the
