'81 RC MASTERS TOURNAMENT

Ron Van Putte

The competition was intense, with Dave Brown leading from the very start—threatening to make it a runaway victory. But that's getting ahead of the story, so let's back up a bit.

The flying site was the old Huntsville Municipal Airport, which is used for a variety of activities these days: a police academy, a driver training course, and a jogging trail. The 1981 Masters Tournament brought together what must certainly be the largest group of outstanding RC Pattern fliers ever to assemble to compete outside of a World Championships. The long string of victories at past World Championships by U.S. teams testifies to the high quality of Pattern flying in this country. Host for this year's Tournament was the Rocket City Radio Control Club (RCRCC).

The first item of business took place on Thursday evening—the pilots' meeting at a local restaurant. Many details of competition procedure were ironed out. The most controversial discussions involved what would happen on the flight line if a competitor's No. 1 aircraft were determined to be unflyable. It was decided that if the backup model was on the same RC frequency, or on another frequency being flown at the same circle, the competitor had to go with it immediately under the time limits for FAI competition. However, if the backup was on a frequency flown on another circle, the flier would be placed at the end of that line. As far as I know, the latter situation did not occur during the contest.

I was unable to attend the pilots' meeting, since I was still traveling to Huntsville after working all day. My first involvement with the Tournament was when I arrived at the flying site early Friday morning. Less than 20 paces from my car I was greeted enthusiastically by Dave Brown. Shortly after, he asked if I would be willing to serve on the FAI jury during the last two days of the three-day contest. Ed Izzo was available for the first day but had to return home on business, so I joined Ron Hesselbrock (1979 Masters Tournament contest director) and Jim McNeill (AMA Secretary/Treasurer) on the Jury for the last two days. That night I read the three-volume set of FAI rules and discovered they are an excellent cure for insomnia. Fortunately, the Jury only had to make one ruling—a straightforward decision involving a flier who had not brought his backup airplane to the flightline.

The contest began with the National Anthem and a flag-raising by Butch Norckauer (AMA District V Contest Coordinator).

All judges were United States Pattern Judges Association (USPJA) members who had traveled to the contest at their own expense. For many, judging cost several hundred dollars. The USPJA can be proud of the judges at the 1981 Masters Tournament for their financial sacrifices and high standard of judging. Many RCRCC members put the judges up at their homes to help cut expenses. Assistant Chief Judge Don Peck, an RCRCC member, had five judges at his house; Don joked that his wife moved out (temporarily) to make more room for the guests.

Dave Brown was in the lead after the first round. Early "barn burners" by Dave are unusual—he normally stages a fast finish. This time he started tough and kept up the pressure.

The weather departed from the norm. The airport runway is north-south and prevailing winds are normally from the southwest. A front came through on the eve of the contest and when the first fliers went up there was a light, cool breeze from the north—unusual for late June in Huntsville. As the weekend progressed the winds became somewhat stronger and shifted more from the east. During the last day most fliers had to contend with a crosswind directly from behind. The superb quality of flying in a direct crosswind testifies to the ability of the Master-class fliers. When one of the top contestants was flying, it was as though the wind had no effect on his airplane.

The flight line had three circles at approximately 600 ft intervals. Fliers rotated from circle to circle while judges remained, equalizing any circle advantages or disadvantages. Two flights were flown each day, allowing competition to finish in the early afternoon and leaving time for practice or troubleshooting later. Many took advantage of this, notably Dean Koger, who suffered from peculiar engine failures on his No. 1 aircraft. His new rear-exhaust engine would quit early in competition flights for no apparent reason. After struggling with it for two days he switched to his backup airplane—only to have the carburetor shear off the engine during practice! Dean's high placing despite such adversity is a testimony to his patience and skill. Although he missed the U.S. team as a competitor, he was selected as Team Manager by other team members and will be going to Acapulco after all.

The computerized scoring system used at the meet developed a host of bugs and was subsequently discontinued after the FAI Jury recommended manual backup scoring. Ron Hesselbrock enlisted several experienced scorers to recheck all the scores. Thanks to these volunteers, awards were made within half an hour after flying was completed on the last day.

It was apparent that Dave Brown was virtually assured a place on the team, but at least five other fliers had a chance to grab the remaining two places as the final rounds were flown. Top contenders were Mark Radcliff, Tony Frackowiak, Steve Helms, Don Lowe, and Tony Bonetti. Dean Koger wasn't figured to have a chance early on, since he only had one complete flight during the first four rounds and that was with a very rich engine setting.

As the fifth round was completed, Mark Radcliff appeared to have a comfortable lead for the second position, with Tony Frackowiak and Steve Helms battling for the final slot. In the last round Steve Helms put in a magnificent flight which earned the highest flight score of the contest; he overtook Tony Frackowiak and Mark Radcliff, and nearly caught Dave Brown.

Final scores were based on the best single flights in front of each of the three sets of judges, to reduce the effect of any "easy" judging team. Throwing out the high and low score on each maneuver (from the five judges) helps eliminate the effect of a judge who is overly strict or overly generous.

New names appeared among the top 20 finishers. Most prominent was seventh-place finisher Cliff Hiatt, a college student from Orlando, FL. How Cliff finds time to build airplanes and practice enough to keep proficient is remarkable.

Steve Stricker flew an EU-1 to 12th place and had a dramatic last flight: apparent radio interference caused his airplane to dip below the horizon, but it found a depression, recovered for a safe landing, and earned a round of applause.

Dave Wilson traveled from Fountain Valley, CA to finish 11th. A few days after the Masters Tournament I was recognized in a parking lot by a girl who apologized for being curious—she had noticed my model airplane bumper stickers and wanted to know if I'd seen her brother Dave Wilson, the Masters 11th-place finisher. She had every right to be proud.

Jess Hogan told me midway through the contest that his goal was a top-20 finish. His chances dimmed when an aileron torque rod jammed on his No. 1 airplane. He hadn't flown his backup much, but adapted quickly and earned 16th place.

Another newcomer in the top 20 was Bic Green. One evening Bic introduced himself to Jimmy Grier because people had been mistaking him for Jim. Bic should be flattered.

I had a great time at the 1981 Masters Tournament, but none of us would have had much of a time without Don Peck. His official title was Assistant Chief Judge, but his efforts began the night before the contest with behind-the-scenes work; he even mowed the grass in the center area around the contest site. Thanks to Don—it's people like him who make it all worthwhile!

NC MASTERS TOURNAMENT — premiere event. RC Pattern fliers' next stop: World Championships. HUNTSVILLE, AL — JUNE 26–28, 1981. The 42 best Master-class RC Pattern fliers in the U.S. met to select a three-man team to represent the U.S. at the World Championships in Acapulco, Mexico later this year. After six rounds of competition, the top three were Dave Brown, Steve Helms, and Mark Radcliff. Tony Frackowiak was first alternate.
