Joules Question
From: Fabrizio Ceccarini
Thank you Roger, appreciated. Interesting results. What about F1Q energy allowance during contest, qualifying and fly off round?
editor
Fabrizio All contests used 2 joules in both rounds and flyoff, Contest directors said
Tony Mathews– North American
I used 3 which they promptly ignored and used 2.
Aimee Raymond – MaxMen
Maxmen used 2 joules. –
Shlomi Rosenzweig – Kiwi Cup
2 Joules in Kiwi cup
One interesting side observation was the North American had a 10 minute max and perfect buoyant conditions. Your editor was standing next to Bernard Guest of the North American team. Bernard was able to see the winning model D/T with out binoculars and the winner Imola Varadine report sthat it was less than a kilometer away when she picked it up. Second and third did over 9 minutes.
This was discussed at some length before the contest and not everyone was happy with the latest Sporting Code Change.
Rest In Peace, Tom Laird
From: Norm Furutani
After many months of hospital stays, rehab and assisted living, our
friend and flying buddy, Tom Laird is at peace. Patty, Tom’s love (they
never married!) called this morning to let me know he passed yesterday,
Sunday.
Tom was a long standing SCAT member and F1B Flyer. Back in the 93 World Champs at Lost Hills a number uf USA flyers hosted visitors from abroad. I remember Tom looking after the F1B second place man Viktor Roshnok from Latvia and having a long term friendship with the Latvian team. … editor
