Competition Newsletter

FF World Champs

Modelers and friends wishing to accompany the U.S. FF team to the 1983 FF World Championships in Goulburn, Australia (September 28–October 4, 1983) can make arrangements through AMA HQ to stay in the same dorms as the teams.

Officially registered Supporters can be accommodated in the dormitories of the Goulburn College of Advanced Education at very attractive rates. Price includes room plus three meals per day for seven days and also morning and evening tea, five days of transportation to and from the contest site, souvenirs, and the official program book: $280 for singles; married couples $430.

Persons wishing to take advantage of this opportunity should contact Micheline Madison at AMA HQ as soon as possible. Team and Supporter fees must be sent to the contest organizers early in July.

Travel, car rental, and other plans cannot be handled through AMA HQ. Supporters wishing to travel with the team should contact FF Team Manager Roger Simpson, 2625 Queenwood Dr., Rancho Cordova, CA 95670.

Scale Team

Modelers aspiring to the U.S. Scale team had better get moving. Entries must be mailed to AMA HQ no later than July 29, 1983 (or delivered by hand to the AMA Nats HQ by July 31).

Considerable detail about the team selection program was published in the May "Competition Newsletter" (page 113). The RC and CL teams will be selected at a single-site Finals held the weekend of August 12–14, 1983 in Louisville, KY.

Entry forms may be obtained by writing to AMA HQ, Attention: Competition Dept. Please include a SASE.

CL Team Finals

Labor Day weekend, 1983 is when the CL team selection Finals will be held for Speed, Stunt, and Team Race.

Dayton, OH will be the scene for all Stunt and Team Race activity; however, Speed will use a split-site scheme, with one Finals at Dayton and another at Merced, CA on the same dates.

The Combat Finals has not yet been confirmed. More details will be published later as the details are ironed out.

For further information, contact any of the following individuals: Keith Trostle, Laird Jackson, or Bill Lee.

'83 Nats News

Nats Week July 24–31

Nats 1st-Place Prizes

Every first-place winner at the 1983 AMA Nats will receive a Timex quartz desk clock. It is battery-operated, features luminous hands and an electronic alarm, and has been donated by Ed and Louise Izzo. Ed is AMA District I vice-president.

Nats RC Soaring Class Change

We reported last month that there would be only two Soaring classes at the Nats. Oops—there has been a change since then.

Three Soaring Duration events will be flown at the Nats: 2-Meter, Standard/Modified Standard combined, and Unlimited.

Unofficial Nats Events

A recent letter from Terry Rimert states that the NFFS unofficial events will be much the same as in the past two years. Events will include: 1/2A Payload (will run concurrently with the regular .020-power Payload event), Embryo Endurance, Rubber-powered Biplane, Sig Mini-Maxer, Cargo, Rubber Speed, 7-11 Rubber Endurance, Rubber-Power Helicopter, Autogiro, Ornithopter, Dick Korda Open Rubber, Team Hand-Launched Glider, and Mulvihill Team.

Anyone wanting rules for these events or plans for models should contact Terry Rimert, 367 Orange Avenue, Baldwin, FL 32234.

Nats RC Transmitter Processing

The following policy announcement may affect many Nats contestants:

Previous experience with RC transmitter processing at the Nats revealed that a significant number (about one-third in 1982) of transmitters have wide bandwidth.

Most of these transmitters caused no difficulties because of the 80 kHz separation of our previous 72 MHz frequencies; however, now that we have added new frequencies with only 40 kHz separation, many transmitters that were acceptable in the past may be rejected at the 1983 (and subsequent) Nats.

It is advised, therefore, that modelers planning to fly any RC events at the 1983 Nationals have their transmitters checked by a qualified service technician and adjusted, if necessary, for proper-bandwidth operation. Note that the design and circuitry of transmitters manufactured in recent years are capable of providing operation within the reduced bandwidth, but months (or years) of use may have resulted in deterioration requiring retuning or replacement of components.

Representatives of most transmitter manufacturers will be present during 1983 Nats transmitter testing to help with problems concerning their equipment; however, do not depend on this. Have your equipment checked in advance. This is a step toward the day when we get even more frequencies—with only 20 kHz spacing.

Nats Symposia and Workshops

We've been telling you there would be special non-competition events at this year's Nats, so here's more concrete information.

Symposia/Workshops (continued)

Friday evening (July 29) will mark the commencement of the symposia and workshops to be held at the AMA Nats HQ—the Quality Inn Hotel in Chicopee, MA. The following symposia are planned: Contest Director, Newsletter Editor, Leadership/Club Officer, Flying Site, Charles H. Grant, Adhesives, and Covering. There will be a Scale Builders' workshop presented by NASA. Other workshops on Engines, Radio, and Painting are tentatively scheduled.

Some AMA-sponsored sessions will be repeated on Sunday, which will be the last day of the symposia and workshop sessions.

Saturday daytime sessions will feature industry-hosted, hands-on workshops centered on various areas of interest. Final schedules for these activities will not be firm until Nats Week.

Nats Competition Events News

Here's late information on the 1983 Nats' RC Pylon Racing, RC Helicopter, and Indoor events.

RC Pylon

Formula I is scheduled to provide seven rounds of flying, weather and RC interference permitting, during Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of Nats Week.

Upon completion of Formula I flying, FAI Pylon will be flown on Saturday for as many rounds as time permits. The FAI event will be flown using the rules printed in the 1982–83 AMA rule book, beginning on page 115.

RC Helicopters

In addition to the regular AMA events which have been flown at the Nats in recent years, there will be a special FAI event at the same site, directed by Horace Hagen.

Indoor

A very large hangar (200 x 250 ft. floor space) at Westover AFB will be used for the Indoor events. The hangar is a category III site, with uncluttered airspace from the floor up.

The hangar's roof is supported by arched girders which rise from about 54 ft. at the sides to 61 ft. at the center. The hangar is similar to the one used at Riverside, CA for the 1977 Nats, but the Westover site will be better because the lights (which normally hang down to about the 35-ft level) will be raised to the girder level. Thus, the site is large and clean up to the girders, and the building appears to be tight and free of drafts.

Late news: Indoor will be extended to three days! See the official Nats schedule elsewhere in the "Competition Newsletter" for details on daily events. Instead of crowding Scale in with the other events, it will now be flown separately on Sunday, July 24 from noon to 5:00 p.m. The Indoor site will be available after Tuesday for flying unofficial events—or just for fun—the rest of Nats week.

RC Pattern Noise Testing: Masters-Class at Nats and Team Finals

In the RC Pattern Masters event (both at the 1983 Nats and at the Team Finals), engine noise tests will be conducted in accordance with the FAI rules, as follows:

With the model on the ground at the flight circle and ready to fly with engine running at full power, the maximum permissible noise level will be 105 dB measured at 90 degrees to the flight path at a distance of one meter between the microphone and the engine cylinder head. During the initial ground-check at the flying site, the contestant's flight time will be interrupted while the noise check is being made. The competitor shall not be delayed more than 30 seconds for the noise check.

That's all that Nats contestants will be tested for.

For Team Selection finalists, if the model fails that test, the noise level is to be measured again as follows:

The model is placed on a platform of noise-reflecting material, 1.2 meters above the ground, with the microphone downwind from the model at the same height as the exhaust of the engine. With the engine running at full power, measurement will be taken at one position, 90 degrees to the flight path and in line with the engine. The maximum permissible noise level will be 100 dB, measured at one meter distance from the cylinder head of the engine. Measurement will be made over a hard surface (tarmac or concrete); no noise-reflecting objects should be nearer than three meters to the model or microphone.

Impact of Noise Tests

  • No Nats contestant will be disqualified due to failure to pass the noise test.
  • No Team Selection finalist, at the June Masters Tournament in Kentucky, will be prevented from flying or scoring, but the three team members and next-in-line alternates will be the top finishers who do not fail the noise test.

The testing is part of an exercise to gather noise data and to determine possible future improvements to, or modifications of, the current FAI rules. In addition to helping FAI Masters fliers become more familiar with the noise rules as they apply to World Championships competition, the testing will also help to ensure that the U.S. team members at the World Championships at Pensacola in October will be qualified.

Noise Tests at the World Championships

At the World Championships, a competitor who fails the flight-circle test is not allowed to fly again until he can pass the platform test. In practice, a competitor who fails the flight-circle test will have his model impounded immediately after the flight and will not be allowed to fly again until the model passes the noise test, both on the platform and again at the flight circle. After the model is impounded, the competitor will be given as many opportunities to pass the platform noise test as time and the noise-measuring team can accommodate. Advice and assistance will be available to help contestants make changes to pass the noise test before the second flight-circle test is made. If the competitor fails the flight-circle test and the platform test a second time, he is disqualified.

Competition Newsletter (Regional Contests and Indoor Team Selection)

Regional contests will be held in 1983—one in each of the seven regional zones: East, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, Mountain, West, and Northwest. Top-place at a regional contest will be awarded 100 points, with lower-placing contestants receiving proportionally fewer points. At a regional contest, a participant must receive 75% of the top score at that contest to qualify for the Finals. Contestants may fly in more than one regional contest, but only the best performance will be counted for team selection scoring.

The top-place flier at the Finals will receive 1,000 points, and other fliers will receive proportional points. The maximum possible number of points which may be accumulated by a single participant is 1,110.

The accompanying standings list the current point-status of program participants.

Background Info: RC-84-38, the "Turnaround Pattern" Proposal

A lot of heat has been generated in the RC Pattern community recently with the advent of the new FAI "Turnaround" pattern (to become official for FAI competition in 1984). Many fliers who use and like the present AMA pattern have been quite vocal about their opposition to the adoption of the new FAI pattern into the AMA rule book. We've had letters in the Soapbox on this subject, and Ron Van Putte has published an opinion of it in his regular Model Aviation column.

However, if modelers study the "fine print" carefully in the summary of this rules proposal (published in the December 1982 "Competition Newsletter" on page 110), they will find there was more to the rule-change proposal than merely changing the Master class pattern to the new FAI "turnaround" pattern.

In the interest of promoting a greater understanding of this proposed rule change, including some surprising ramifications and the background behind it, we offer a letter from Ron Hesselbrock, Radio Control Contest Board member from AMA District III—the home district of the person who submitted the rule change proposal; long-time Pattern flier and World Championship competitor Ron Chidgey. Following Ron Hesselbrock's letter is the one from Ron Chidgey to the RC Contest Board in 1982 which Hesselbrock mentions.

Ron Hesselbrock's Letter

This letter is dated March 11, 1983, and is addressed to all members of the RC Contest Board:

"I am sending you this letter to impress on you the importance of this proposal (RC-84-38). I am sure you have been receiving the same letters that I have, and I agree that most have been against the turnaround-type pattern. You will get many reasons why we should not have the turnaround pattern, but none of them are true. We are not forcing anyone to fly Masters with this proposal—they may move back to Expert and fly the same maneuver sequence they use now. The airplanes we are using now will fly the turnaround pattern very well.

"In looking at the letters I have been receiving, 95% of them are not coming from the Master class fliers, but are coming from the Novice and Sportsman classes in which this rule will have no effect.

"If you talk to the Masters in your district, I believe you will find that most are in favor of this proposal.

"We must use the FAI rules for the Masters class if we wish to be the No. 1 team in the World Championships, and why else would anyone fly Pattern, but for the hope that some day they will be on that U.S. Team and win the World Championships?

"Enclosed you will find a copy of the letter that was sent to you by Ron Chidgey last year. Please read it and you will have to agree that we must vote for this proposal.

"Please check with the Master fliers in your district, read the letter, and vote YES for RC-84-38.

"Thank you."

Ron Chidgey's Letter

This letter was sent to members of the RC Contest Board in September 1982:

"In the current round of rules changes, you will receive at least two proposals that were prompted by the pending FAI pattern change, i.e., the turnaround schedule which will become effective January 1984 and will be used at the 1985 World Championships. One proposal, sponsored by NSRCA (RC-84-30), will recommend that yet another Pattern class (the sixth) be created solely for FAI competition. (To digress a moment, if you recall, that is how the present Masters class came into being. It was originally created for those fliers who had competed in the Masters Team Selection Tournament. The idea was to move these fliers out of the Expert class and give the more-or-less casual flier a chance to compete on a more equal basis.) The second proposal (RC-84-38) recommends leaving the Masters class essentially as-is and to continue emphasizing it as the place for FAI activity. The only significant change would be that advancement into the Masters class would no longer be mandatory but would only happen after a person indicated he was ready to compete in an FAI team-selection program. In fact, one could not advance into the Masters class until one actually did enter a team selection program.

"I urge you to give serious thought to these two proposals. Following are some points I hope you will consider:

  1. Most Masters-class fliers want to fly the FAI pattern on a continuing basis. This seems to be the real issue and not the merits of the next FAI pattern, which happens to be the turnaround pattern, or the one after that. A poll of the Masters fliers at the Nats overwhelmingly confirms that they want to swing with the latest FAI changes as soon as possible after the changes become official. Twenty-nine of the 49 Masters fliers at the Nats were contacted, and 25 (86%) said yes let's change. The results of the poll are attached. A real effort was made to poll all of the contestants, but that was not possible in the midst of a big, busy contest. The poll definitely was not selective, however.
  1. Most opposition to the FAI (and the turnaround pattern) seems to come not from the Masters class, but from the Expert, Advanced, and Novice classes. No poll of just Masters fliers was ever conducted prior to the one at the Nats (at least none that I'm aware of). It seems to me that the Masters fliers should have the greater voice in this matter, since their class is the only one definitely affected by changes in the FAI schedule.
  1. If the other classes later want to adopt some aspects of the turnaround pattern, they can do so via the rules-change process. They probably will, when they get used to the idea. Several years ago, there was equally as much controversy over the 'select-your-own-maneuvers' concept when the FAI adopted it, but now most Expert fliers look forward to flying the present Masters pattern.
  1. Actually, the ramifications go much deeper than any of the above considerations. The truth of the matter is that our typical Pattern airplane has evolved into a very fast and noisy device. We fly them very far out (approximately 2,000 ft. each way), and with their high noise levels we tend to offend a lot of folks in Europe; this has resulted in the loss of more and more flying fields, along with a sharp reduction in the number of Pattern fliers—the future of Pattern competition over there is somewhat in doubt. This same result is inevitable in the U.S., except perhaps in the desert areas of the Southwest. I can speak from personal experience, as we in the Pensacola area are presently fighting hard to retain the right to fly at two fields because of noise complaints. The turnaround schedule was devised to reduce the noise problem, not to change the flying style. The idea is simple: encourage the pilot to fly in closer by judging the turnaround maneuver, and he won't fly out so far and offend so many people. I think our Masters fliers should be encouraged to set an example for the other classes before we too are faced with the demise of Pattern flying."

Final Vote on RC Emergency Proposal

The RC Contest Board has taken its Final Vote on the RC Emergency Rules Proposal reported in the February 1983 issue. (This relates to the Great Pattern Rules Controversy of 1982, which earlier generated heat because—through a procedural error—the 1982–83 AMA rule book did not contain changes to some Pattern class maneuver patterns that many modelers had expected.)

The Final Vote rejected the Emergency Rule Proposal by a tally of two For, eight Against (one no-vote). The matter is now laid to rest—no change will be made to the current Pattern rules at this time.

Of interest is the fact that Russell Knetzger, who originally proposed RC-82-18 (the source of the controversy), wrote a letter to the members of the RC Contest Board recommending that the Emergency Proposal be defeated—since a similar proposal has been made for the 1984–85 rules-change cycle. He noted that a passing vote on the Emergency Proposal would have resulted in a very short-lived rules change and would generate confusion.

Countdown to NATS!

It's getting closer to NATS TIME—if you haven't decided to come, it's closer than you think. There's still time to be part of what looks to be the biggest and best NATS ever.

Send a stamped, self-addressed business-size envelope to AMA now for your NATS ENTRY FORMS. You will get the NATS schedule, contest information, and your entry form. Be sure to tell us how many forms you need.

The NATS is an eight-day event, and help is needed to make it all work. Dozens of volunteers and hundreds of man-hours are needed. On days when you're not flying, consider helping out. It's fun—and if you work FOUR FULL DAYS (not necessarily all at once), you will get your 1984 AMA membership FREE.

It takes a lot of effort and money to run a NATS. Entry fees are kept low to encourage participation. The NATS SPONSORS donate money and merchandise to help. You will see their names in the souvenir program and on the trophies, and their products in the NATS Hobby Shop. Their support is invaluable.

For information on attractions in Massachusetts that make this NATS a great family vacation, write to the Greater Chicopee Chamber of Commerce, 6 Center Street, Chicopee, MA 01013, or call (413) 594-2101.

For your NATS entry form, send a SASE* to: AMA NATS, 1810 Samuel Morse Dr., Reston, VA 22090

*Self-addressed, stamped envelope. Must be at least a business-size (9½ x 4 in.) envelope; NATS forms will not fit in smaller envelopes.
