Re: Muncie, May EF-1/424

I think as a test of the system, and perhaps training for folks scoring, using full blown fai format would be better than mixing things, if the attendees agree. Otherwise, just run a normal race and set up some separate practice session. Aren't rule deviations supposed to be published in the race fl...

Re: 2022 NATIONALS SUGGESTION PAGE

For what it's worth, I would also prefer the single matrix for each event, instead of qualifying and finals.

CG question - old school Sattler Loki Q40

I'm finishing up the equipment install on that old school (fiberglass & sheeted foam wing) Sattler Loki Q40 that Lonnie finished up for me, and can't seem to locate the plans - Does anyone remember what the CG should be on this plane? I still need to properly install the tank and battery, and hope t...

Re: Pete Bergstrom

Terribly sorry to hear this. He will be missed, for sure. He gave so much of himself, it won't be the same at the NATS without him keeping me in line..

Matco dial indicator / depth gauge

I've got here a new Matco dial indicator for use with a base for measuring depth. Similar to gauges used in the Darrol Cady depth mic, etc. This one has a .0005" resolution, whereas most have .001 resolution. 1" travel. The mounting stem is 3/8", interchangeable with other similar gauges. I bought t...

Re: 428 motor in 422 event.

It seems as if wood is not allowed in 422, doesn't really care what motor you are using - depending on how one interprets rule number 5. If a wood prop was once approved, and is still commercially available, is it grandfathered in? The intent of the rule was probably to allow only the carbon reinfor...
