Brian,
If the youth masters is anything like last year we will be flying knowns. I haven't heard any updates on the contest. I will try and get a hold of the contest director to find out what is going on. It will be a very fun contest. I think the man thing to look forward to during the contest will be having a great time. The Confederate Airfarce sure knows how to make a contest into a fun filled time. I am about to go out to the flying field and practice. When I get back I will try and get a hold of someone and then let you know.

By the way, Andrew, you want to study Aero Engineering? I got my degree in MSME, with some focus in Aero. Maybe we can talk Physics 101 next time in Riders.

Sean,
The best way that i learned on doing rolling harriers was just to start to roll on a straight line with many continious rolls as it will help you get you used to seeing the airplane in different angles and what rudder to give it at that certain angle. When you have done that now just fly a harrier then with the nose up start to roll. I found that the most effective way for me to get the rolling harriers to work is to look at it this way. The rudder and throttle are now for keeping altitude and elevator is for keeping it on a straight line or circle. I know many people use just top rudder when learning how to start but that will cause the airplane to look like it is doing a snap roll everytime you add the rudder because you have to use twice as much instead of using half as much when using both directions. I will try to get a video of Jason Noll doing rolling harrier because he is the man when doing these.
I would like to talk about engineering and what I have to expect. The next time you come in we can talk.
Thanks dewey. Your the man.

Randy,
Sorry for the late reply I have been going crazy witht he nationals. Its good that you are having fun with flying. I have not been able to make it out to the Signal Seekers club as we have moved to Monroe so I have 2 flying fields with in 10 and 5 minutes of each other so it is really nice to not have to go as far to fly. See you at the field some time.
