Where are the rules posted? I probably need to put numbers on my plane or something...


Magic Marker.

AMA number at least 1 inch tall for the digits. All set.


On every piece of the plane, correct? Each wing...canopy, etc?

Inside the fuz should have name, address, ama number, etc. and phone probably.

4.7: Identification. All models shall be identified by the contestant’s AMA license number permanently affixed to the upper side of the right hand lifting surface or to each side of the fuselage or vertical stabilizer. The height of the numerals must be at least one (1) inch. Both stroke and width shall be such as to enable ready recognition.

I flew my Yak yesterday, after spending the hot days straightening everything out. ARCH - I tried your negative expo trick on down elevator and live it! I spent 2 flights doing nothing but basically immelmann turns without rolls, practicing rudder corrections inverted and through loops. It really helped, and with the plane nice and straight I felt pretty good. That will all turn to shivers I'm sure at the show, but that's part of it I guess.

For those of us not going to the NATS what's the story?

Another good looking Pentathlon. Good luck with the maiden!

Status: online 		Well... It was a beautiful day (this is for Dean). I had been flying with Mark Hunt all day, 8 flights on my primary and 2 flights on the Harmony which was to be my backup at NATS.

I went to help set a base for a pylon pole and while in the field, we had a dust devil come through and like a silly head I had not staked the EZ UP to the ground since the wind was maybe 5-8mph. and we were somewhat sheltered.

SO... the EZ UP caught the plane, which was in one of Mark Hunts cradles, how it all unfolded Im not sure but when it ended the plane, canopy cradle were one.

Ended up taking a chunk out of the leading edge of a stab, punching a hole in the lower rear turtle deck, hole in the chin cowl area, tear up the earlier repair around the gear and then also it twisted and delamintated the carbon gear leg.

SO... I have since made repairs, have new gear in ready to test hop sunday as well.

Chuck

The new scoring software makes it incredibly easy to get this info out. Thanks to Scott Smith for developing the new software and Derek Koopowitz for creating the website.

I've got twin Granddaughters Birthday, and a wife's Anniversay that always seems to conflict with the NATs dates .
Know the two Mississippi misfits, and my Bud Mike Williams will be there to keep the Intermediate flyers honest.
Looking forward to hear a play by play report.
All you guys have fun, guess I'll just pratice on the new 2013-14 sequences, he he he.

Status: offline 		Arch,
I assume you mean that scores will just be withheld from the website on Weds, not from the competitors. Paragraph 8 of the Competition Regulations Generals requires that competitors see their detailed scores from the previous flight before their next flight. I had to remind Dave Guerin of this a few years ago, when I was refused my cut sheet from my next to last flight at the Nats by the score keeper; he took care of it and I didn't need to protest. Technically, it is also required before prizes are awarded and winners announced, but I didn't press that point. I know you are a stickler for the rules, but I thought I'd get clarification.
