CompetitionA Note Fromthe Technical Director Bob Underwood y day dawns bright clear gentle breeze wafts easily right down runway participants anticipated grace scene everything going just fine Since its first RC event new field really happy its working out well happens dreaded word rings out loud clear flight line Interference Everyone watches helplessly model crashes far out field pieces returned pit area post mortum begins Several persons convinced pilot error Another recalls individual having problems same system just last week Still another long time modeler surveys wreckage pronounces cause radio installation problems chilling statement comes person states channel such such always gets hit around area no subsequent problems surface problem related reasons will probably fade everyones memory bank within week exception fated pilot course us have CD period time know such incidents seem come bunches like bananas therein face potential serious problem related safety establishment rumors can destroy prospects future events site individual club Thus subject month effort try bring some problem perspective let use some personal experiences supplement few reports reliable individuals First consider several incidents very easy document few years back Mint Julep Scale contest scenario developed known interference produced two flight lines site separated some 200 feet During round about taxi out takeoff judges told hold moment since model middle takeoff run other line left flight path model taking off going about 20 30 feet off end transmitter antenna could turn transmitter off since model runway both engines idle As other model flew suffered some throttle elevator bounces didnt crash otherwise beautiful takeoff spoiled two lines now placed closer together event year Top Gun event saw evidence classic 2 IM situation practice day flying channel 25 another contestant attempting get airborne channel 48 experiencing problems however landed shut down transmitter problems went away event information made very clear 50 channels would used equipment transmitters receivers narrowband channel 48 receiver using evidently narrowband 23 channel 2 IM problem very clear Fortunately air first Incidentally since flying odd channel spent quite bit time checking persons flying adjacent channels 24 26 48 difference case resulted being practice model actually part competition follow two occurrences rather simple document often clear cut time incident MRM takes over MRM stands Modelers Rumor Mill communication system fastest form known man also much better providing garbled output old game Telephone played parties kid Sometimes rumors produced spite accurate information Several years ago again Mint Julep event crashed twin engine model take off wind shifted across runway during takeoff run model turned toward far edge runway lifted off too soon shear luck managed keep airborne couple hundred yards never managed get act together Finally model said heck rolled over went daughter calls remarked Dad flew farther thought would doesnt fly build knew trouble fighting stall Following incident people come up ask lost engine radio problems replied person No pilot suffered dumb thumbs explained problem Two count Two publication reports listed demise model said because lost engine other claimed radio problems talked both reporters shortly after crash witnessed guess should appreciate fact reporters attempting save reputation expense over decade CDed events Buder Park St Louis county flew very regular basis usually least once week Since public flying site St Louis area very large percentage newcomers hobby gravitated first flights As result crash two involving big names contest circuit problems associated newcomers Buder came enjoy title Glitch Alley Its true Buder located area could produce reasonably high levels RF Its true under certain conditions minor bounces throttle hits could encountered scale model tail-on antenna middle figure-eight period time between 1967 moved 1985 cannot remember losing model unexplained reason None reasons ever added up interference following letter arrived working column really speaks volumes subject May 25 1991 Dear Bob past 3 months have seen crash seven models same general area just east flying site couple pilots concluded crashes due outside interference rest pilots jumped band wagon came same conclusion Several us old heads decided recent phenomenon needed thoroughly investigated just case true field located 45 miles south air force base 20 miles due east large metropolitan area overheard several remarks such interference probably came base because have lot busier since Operation Desert Shield/Storm began Sometimes word probably changed must have spent 21 years Air Force last five base still know number people work talked people work control tower Air Force Communications Command Headquarters Military Airlift Command Headquarters several electronic maintenance shops flight line None people knowledge anything new base line electronic transmitters Whenever military goes high alert status actual war communications systems go what called Situation Minimize reduce message traffic electronic transmissions absolute minimum possible reduce chance bad guys could intercept anything significance conflict Gulf would have caused drastic reduction electronic transmission base increase local hobby shop owner/operator purchased Radio Shack scanner March can programmed cover 72 MHz frequencies brought out field several times found nothing RC frequencies except own transmitters did detect some noise 72240 couple other frequencies near RC channels thought very weak signals since scanner doesnt have signal strength meter could sure decided request loan AMA scanner further investigate situation hobby shop owner chairman club frequency committee took AMA scanner field didnt find anything considered threat RC models asked take AMA scanner field see what could come up took scanner field five separate days total 23 hours found Absolutely Nothing could classified significant outside interference 100 Model Aviation did find what believe pagers 72240 72395 72865 MHz signal strength barely moved needle off zero also found several harmonic frequencies generated RC transmitters concerned Two transmitters channel 16 channel 38 generated harmonic channel 60 strength 7 75 db Two other transmitters channel 14 channel 38 generated harmonic channel 13 strength 75 8 kb transmitter 16 other 14 generated harmonic 12 strength 85 9 kb Several other combinations radios generated harmonics strong enough scanner lock such low strength unreadable strength meter Armed information reinforced suspicions crashes caused outside interference decided attempt identify real problems first pilot talked started flying last year barely capable solo flight said absolutely positive cause crash interference because fifth flight day controls went limit plane crashed asked him checked condition batteries said checked airborne pack small VOM no load read 38 volts problem someone told him 33 volts sufficient have always operated theory 44 volts minimum that really marginal 46 volts would much safer cut-off point second pilot talked has hobby two years does very little flying himself Hes involved mainly because 14 year old son active fair pilot son flying plane nosed straight over level flight crashed got crash site about 1000 feet field low area about 10 12 feet below level flying field servos limit left transmitter field turned came out low area could see field servos recentered themselves father concluded meant interference over low area passed through edge interference radio started working again Im sure what caused crash think radio

CompetitionA Note Fromthe Technical Director Bob Underwood y day dawns bright clear gentle breeze wafts easily right down runway participants anticipated grace scene everything going just fine Since its first RC event new field really happy its working out well happens dreaded word rings out loud clear flight line Interference Everyone watches helplessly model crashes far out field pieces returned pit area post mortum begins Several persons convinced pilot error Another recalls individual having problems same system just last week Still another long time modeler surveys wreckage pronounces cause radio installation problems chilling statement comes person states channel such such always gets hit around area no subsequent problems surface problem related reasons will probably fade everyones memory bank within week exception fated pilot course us have CD period time know such incidents seem come bunches like bananas therein face potential serious problem related safety establishment rumors can destroy prospects future events site individual club Thus subject month effort try bring some problem perspective let use some personal experiences supplement few reports reliable individuals First consider several incidents very easy document few years back Mint Julep Scale contest scenario developed known interference produced two flight lines site separated some 200 feet During round about taxi out takeoff judges told hold moment since model middle takeoff run other line left flight path model taking off going about 20 30 feet off end transmitter antenna could turn transmitter off since model runway both engines idle As other model flew suffered some throttle elevator bounces didnt crash otherwise beautiful takeoff spoiled two lines now placed closer together event year Top Gun event saw evidence classic 2 IM situation practice day flying channel 25 another contestant attempting get airborne channel 48 experiencing problems however landed shut down transmitter problems went away event information made very clear 50 channels would used equipment transmitters receivers narrowband channel 48 receiver using evidently narrowband 23 channel 2 IM problem very clear Fortunately air first Incidentally since flying odd channel spent quite bit time checking persons flying adjacent channels 24 26 48 difference case resulted being practice model actually part competition follow two occurrences rather simple document often clear cut time incident MRM takes over MRM stands Modelers Rumor Mill communication system fastest form known man also much better providing garbled output old game Telephone played parties kid Sometimes rumors produced spite accurate information Several years ago again Mint Julep event crashed twin engine model take off wind shifted across runway during takeoff run model turned toward far edge runway lifted off too soon shear luck managed keep airborne couple hundred yards never managed get act together Finally model said heck rolled over went daughter calls remarked Dad flew farther thought would doesnt fly build knew trouble fighting stall Following incident people come up ask lost engine radio problems replied person No pilot suffered dumb thumbs explained problem Two count Two publication reports listed demise model said because lost engine other claimed radio problems talked both reporters shortly after crash witnessed guess should appreciate fact reporters attempting save reputation expense over decade CDed events Buder Park St Louis county flew very regular basis usually least once week Since public flying site St Louis area very large percentage newcomers hobby gravitated first flights As result crash two involving big names contest circuit problems associated newcomers Buder came enjoy title Glitch Alley Its true Buder located area could produce reasonably high levels RF Its true under certain conditions minor bounces throttle hits could encountered scale model tail-on antenna middle figure-eight period time between 1967 moved 1985 cannot remember losing model unexplained reason None reasons ever added up interference following letter arrived working column really speaks volumes subject May 25 1991 Dear Bob past 3 months have seen crash seven models same general area just east flying site couple pilots concluded crashes due outside interference rest pilots jumped band wagon came same conclusion Several us old heads decided recent phenomenon needed thoroughly investigated just case true field located 45 miles south air force base 20 miles due east large metropolitan area overheard several remarks such interference probably came base because have lot busier since Operation Desert Shield/Storm began Sometimes word probably changed must have spent 21 years Air Force last five base still know number people work talked people work control tower Air Force Communications Command Headquarters Military Airlift Command Headquarters several electronic maintenance shops flight line None people knowledge anything new base line electronic transmitters Whenever military goes high alert status actual war communications systems go what called Situation Minimize reduce message traffic electronic transmissions absolute minimum possible reduce chance bad guys could intercept anything significance conflict Gulf would have caused drastic reduction electronic transmission base increase local hobby shop owner/operator purchased Radio Shack scanner March can programmed cover 72 MHz frequencies brought out field several times found nothing RC frequencies except own transmitters did detect some noise 72240 couple other frequencies near RC channels thought very weak signals since scanner doesnt have signal strength meter could sure decided request loan AMA scanner further investigate situation hobby shop owner chairman club frequency committee took AMA scanner field didnt find anything considered threat RC models asked take AMA scanner field see what could come up took scanner field five separate days total 23 hours found Absolutely Nothing could classified significant outside interference 100 Model Aviation did find what believe pagers 72240 72395 72865 MHz signal strength barely moved needle off zero also found several harmonic frequencies generated RC transmitters concerned Two transmitters channel 16 channel 38 generated harmonic channel 60 strength 7 75 db Two other transmitters channel 14 channel 38 generated harmonic channel 13 strength 75 8 kb transmitter 16 other 14 generated harmonic 12 strength 85 9 kb Several other combinations radios generated harmonics strong enough scanner lock such low strength unreadable strength meter Armed information reinforced suspicions crashes caused outside interference decided attempt identify real problems first pilot talked started flying last year barely capable solo flight said absolutely positive cause crash interference because fifth flight day controls went limit plane crashed asked him checked condition batteries said checked airborne pack small VOM no load read 38 volts problem someone told him 33 volts sufficient have always operated theory 44 volts minimum that really marginal 46 volts would much safer cut-off point second pilot talked has hobby two years does very little flying himself Hes involved mainly because 14 year old son active fair pilot son flying plane nosed straight over level flight crashed got crash site about 1000 feet field low area about 10 12 feet below level flying field servos limit left transmitter field turned came out low area could see field servos recentered themselves father concluded meant interference over low area passed through edge interference radio started working again Im sure what caused crash think radio

CompetitionA Note Fromthe Technical Director Bob Underwood y day dawns bright clear gentle breeze wafts easily right down runway participants anticipated grace scene everything going just fine Since its first RC event new field really happy its working out well happens dreaded word rings out loud clear flight line Interference Everyone watches helplessly model crashes far out field pieces returned pit area post mortum begins Several persons convinced pilot error Another recalls individual having problems same system just last week Still another long time modeler surveys wreckage pronounces cause radio installation problems chilling statement comes person states channel such such always gets hit around area no subsequent problems surface problem related reasons will probably fade everyones memory bank within week exception fated pilot course us have CD period time know such incidents seem come bunches like bananas therein face potential serious problem related safety establishment rumors can destroy prospects future events site individual club Thus subject month effort try bring some problem perspective let use some personal experiences supplement few reports reliable individuals First consider several incidents very easy document few years back Mint Julep Scale contest scenario developed known interference produced two flight lines site separated some 200 feet During round about taxi out takeoff judges told hold moment since model middle takeoff run other line left flight path model taking off going about 20 30 feet off end transmitter antenna could turn transmitter off since model runway both engines idle As other model flew suffered some throttle elevator bounces didnt crash otherwise beautiful takeoff spoiled two lines now placed closer together event year Top Gun event saw evidence classic 2 IM situation practice day flying channel 25 another contestant attempting get airborne channel 48 experiencing problems however landed shut down transmitter problems went away event information made very clear 50 channels would used equipment transmitters receivers narrowband channel 48 receiver using evidently narrowband 23 channel 2 IM problem very clear Fortunately air first Incidentally since flying odd channel spent quite bit time checking persons flying adjacent channels 24 26 48 difference case resulted being practice model actually part competition follow two occurrences rather simple document often clear cut time incident MRM takes over MRM stands Modelers Rumor Mill communication system fastest form known man also much better providing garbled output old game Telephone played parties kid Sometimes rumors produced spite accurate information Several years ago again Mint Julep event crashed twin engine model take off wind shifted across runway during takeoff run model turned toward far edge runway lifted off too soon shear luck managed keep airborne couple hundred yards never managed get act together Finally model said heck rolled over went daughter calls remarked Dad flew farther thought would doesnt fly build knew trouble fighting stall Following incident people come up ask lost engine radio problems replied person No pilot suffered dumb thumbs explained problem Two count Two publication reports listed demise model said because lost engine other claimed radio problems talked both reporters shortly after crash witnessed guess should appreciate fact reporters attempting save reputation expense over decade CDed events Buder Park St Louis county flew very regular basis usually least once week Since public flying site St Louis area very large percentage newcomers hobby gravitated first flights As result crash two involving big names contest circuit problems associated newcomers Buder came enjoy title Glitch Alley Its true Buder located area could produce reasonably high levels RF Its true under certain conditions minor bounces throttle hits could encountered scale model tail-on antenna middle figure-eight period time between 1967 moved 1985 cannot remember losing model unexplained reason None reasons ever added up interference following letter arrived working column really speaks volumes subject May 25 1991 Dear Bob past 3 months have seen crash seven models same general area just east flying site couple pilots concluded crashes due outside interference rest pilots jumped band wagon came same conclusion Several us old heads decided recent phenomenon needed thoroughly investigated just case true field located 45 miles south air force base 20 miles due east large metropolitan area overheard several remarks such interference probably came base because have lot busier since Operation Desert Shield/Storm began Sometimes word probably changed must have spent 21 years Air Force last five base still know number people work talked people work control tower Air Force Communications Command Headquarters Military Airlift Command Headquarters several electronic maintenance shops flight line None people knowledge anything new base line electronic transmitters Whenever military goes high alert status actual war communications systems go what called Situation Minimize reduce message traffic electronic transmissions absolute minimum possible reduce chance bad guys could intercept anything significance conflict Gulf would have caused drastic reduction electronic transmission base increase local hobby shop owner/operator purchased Radio Shack scanner March can programmed cover 72 MHz frequencies brought out field several times found nothing RC frequencies except own transmitters did detect some noise 72240 couple other frequencies near RC channels thought very weak signals since scanner doesnt have signal strength meter could sure decided request loan AMA scanner further investigate situation hobby shop owner chairman club frequency committee took AMA scanner field didnt find anything considered threat RC models asked take AMA scanner field see what could come up took scanner field five separate days total 23 hours found Absolutely Nothing could classified significant outside interference 100 Model Aviation did find what believe pagers 72240 72395 72865 MHz signal strength barely moved needle off zero also found several harmonic frequencies generated RC transmitters concerned Two transmitters channel 16 channel 38 generated harmonic channel 60 strength 7 75 db Two other transmitters channel 14 channel 38 generated harmonic channel 13 strength 75 8 kb transmitter 16 other 14 generated harmonic 12 strength 85 9 kb Several other combinations radios generated harmonics strong enough scanner lock such low strength unreadable strength meter Armed information reinforced suspicions crashes caused outside interference decided attempt identify real problems first pilot talked started flying last year barely capable solo flight said absolutely positive cause crash interference because fifth flight day controls went limit plane crashed asked him checked condition batteries said checked airborne pack small VOM no load read 38 volts problem someone told him 33 volts sufficient have always operated theory 44 volts minimum that really marginal 46 volts would much safer cut-off point second pilot talked has hobby two years does very little flying himself Hes involved mainly because 14 year old son active fair pilot son flying plane nosed straight over level flight crashed got crash site about 1000 feet field low area about 10 12 feet below level flying field servos limit left transmitter field turned came out low area could see field servos recentered themselves father concluded meant interference over low area passed through edge interference radio started working again Im sure what caused crash think radio

CompetitionA Note Fromthe Technical Director Bob Underwood y day dawns bright clear gentle breeze wafts easily right down runway participants anticipated grace scene everything going just fine Since its first RC event new field really happy its working out well happens dreaded word rings out loud clear flight line Interference Everyone watches helplessly model crashes far out field pieces returned pit area post mortum begins Several persons convinced pilot error Another recalls individual having problems same system just last week Still another long time modeler surveys wreckage pronounces cause radio installation problems chilling statement comes person states channel such such always gets hit around area no subsequent problems surface problem related reasons will probably fade everyones memory bank within week exception fated pilot course us have CD period time know such incidents seem come bunches like bananas therein face potential serious problem related safety establishment rumors can destroy prospects future events site individual club Thus subject month effort try bring some problem perspective let use some personal experiences supplement few reports reliable individuals First consider several incidents very easy document few years back Mint Julep Scale contest scenario developed known interference produced two flight lines site separated some 200 feet During round about taxi out takeoff judges told hold moment since model middle takeoff run other line left flight path model taking off going about 20 30 feet off end transmitter antenna could turn transmitter off since model runway both engines idle As other model flew suffered some throttle elevator bounces didnt crash otherwise beautiful takeoff spoiled two lines now placed closer together event year Top Gun event saw evidence classic 2 IM situation practice day flying channel 25 another contestant attempting get airborne channel 48 experiencing problems however landed shut down transmitter problems went away event information made very clear 50 channels would used equipment transmitters receivers narrowband channel 48 receiver using evidently narrowband 23 channel 2 IM problem very clear Fortunately air first Incidentally since flying odd channel spent quite bit time checking persons flying adjacent channels 24 26 48 difference case resulted being practice model actually part competition follow two occurrences rather simple document often clear cut time incident MRM takes over MRM stands Modelers Rumor Mill communication system fastest form known man also much better providing garbled output old game Telephone played parties kid Sometimes rumors produced spite accurate information Several years ago again Mint Julep event crashed twin engine model take off wind shifted across runway during takeoff run model turned toward far edge runway lifted off too soon shear luck managed keep airborne couple hundred yards never managed get act together Finally model said heck rolled over went daughter calls remarked Dad flew farther thought would doesnt fly build knew trouble fighting stall Following incident people come up ask lost engine radio problems replied person No pilot suffered dumb thumbs explained problem Two count Two publication reports listed demise model said because lost engine other claimed radio problems talked both reporters shortly after crash witnessed guess should appreciate fact reporters attempting save reputation expense over decade CDed events Buder Park St Louis county flew very regular basis usually least once week Since public flying site St Louis area very large percentage newcomers hobby gravitated first flights As result crash two involving big names contest circuit problems associated newcomers Buder came enjoy title Glitch Alley Its true Buder located area could produce reasonably high levels RF Its true under certain conditions minor bounces throttle hits could encountered scale model tail-on antenna middle figure-eight period time between 1967 moved 1985 cannot remember losing model unexplained reason None reasons ever added up interference following letter arrived working column really speaks volumes subject May 25 1991 Dear Bob past 3 months have seen crash seven models same general area just east flying site couple pilots concluded crashes due outside interference rest pilots jumped band wagon came same conclusion Several us old heads decided recent phenomenon needed thoroughly investigated just case true field located 45 miles south air force base 20 miles due east large metropolitan area overheard several remarks such interference probably came base because have lot busier since Operation Desert Shield/Storm began Sometimes word probably changed must have spent 21 years Air Force last five base still know number people work talked people work control tower Air Force Communications Command Headquarters Military Airlift Command Headquarters several electronic maintenance shops flight line None people knowledge anything new base line electronic transmitters Whenever military goes high alert status actual war communications systems go what called Situation Minimize reduce message traffic electronic transmissions absolute minimum possible reduce chance bad guys could intercept anything significance conflict Gulf would have caused drastic reduction electronic transmission base increase local hobby shop owner/operator purchased Radio Shack scanner March can programmed cover 72 MHz frequencies brought out field several times found nothing RC frequencies except own transmitters did detect some noise 72240 couple other frequencies near RC channels thought very weak signals since scanner doesnt have signal strength meter could sure decided request loan AMA scanner further investigate situation hobby shop owner chairman club frequency committee took AMA scanner field didnt find anything considered threat RC models asked take AMA scanner field see what could come up took scanner field five separate days total 23 hours found Absolutely Nothing could classified significant outside interference 100 Model Aviation did find what believe pagers 72240 72395 72865 MHz signal strength barely moved needle off zero also found several harmonic frequencies generated RC transmitters concerned Two transmitters channel 16 channel 38 generated harmonic channel 60 strength 7 75 db Two other transmitters channel 14 channel 38 generated harmonic channel 13 strength 75 8 kb transmitter 16 other 14 generated harmonic 12 strength 85 9 kb Several other combinations radios generated harmonics strong enough scanner lock such low strength unreadable strength meter Armed information reinforced suspicions crashes caused outside interference decided attempt identify real problems first pilot talked started flying last year barely capable solo flight said absolutely positive cause crash interference because fifth flight day controls went limit plane crashed asked him checked condition batteries said checked airborne pack small VOM no load read 38 volts problem someone told him 33 volts sufficient have always operated theory 44 volts minimum that really marginal 46 volts would much safer cut-off point second pilot talked has hobby two years does very little flying himself Hes involved mainly because 14 year old son active fair pilot son flying plane nosed straight over level flight crashed got crash site about 1000 feet field low area about 10 12 feet below level flying field servos limit left transmitter field turned came out low area could see field servos recentered themselves father concluded meant interference over low area passed through edge interference radio started working again Im sure what caused crash think radio

CompetitionA Note Fromthe Technical Director Bob Underwood y day dawns bright clear gentle breeze wafts easily right down runway participants anticipated grace scene everything going just fine Since its first RC event new field really happy its working out well happens dreaded word rings out loud clear flight line Interference Everyone watches helplessly model crashes far out field pieces returned pit area post mortum begins Several persons convinced pilot error Another recalls individual having problems same system just last week Still another long time modeler surveys wreckage pronounces cause radio installation problems chilling statement comes person states channel such such always gets hit around area no subsequent problems surface problem related reasons will probably fade everyones memory bank within week exception fated pilot course us have CD period time know such incidents seem come bunches like bananas therein face potential serious problem related safety establishment rumors can destroy prospects future events site individual club Thus subject month effort try bring some problem perspective let use some personal experiences supplement few reports reliable individuals First consider several incidents very easy document few years back Mint Julep Scale contest scenario developed known interference produced two flight lines site separated some 200 feet During round about taxi out takeoff judges told hold moment since model middle takeoff run other line left flight path model taking off going about 20 30 feet off end transmitter antenna could turn transmitter off since model runway both engines idle As other model flew suffered some throttle elevator bounces didnt crash otherwise beautiful takeoff spoiled two lines now placed closer together event year Top Gun event saw evidence classic 2 IM situation practice day flying channel 25 another contestant attempting get airborne channel 48 experiencing problems however landed shut down transmitter problems went away event information made very clear 50 channels would used equipment transmitters receivers narrowband channel 48 receiver using evidently narrowband 23 channel 2 IM problem very clear Fortunately air first Incidentally since flying odd channel spent quite bit time checking persons flying adjacent channels 24 26 48 difference case resulted being practice model actually part competition follow two occurrences rather simple document often clear cut time incident MRM takes over MRM stands Modelers Rumor Mill communication system fastest form known man also much better providing garbled output old game Telephone played parties kid Sometimes rumors produced spite accurate information Several years ago again Mint Julep event crashed twin engine model take off wind shifted across runway during takeoff run model turned toward far edge runway lifted off too soon shear luck managed keep airborne couple hundred yards never managed get act together Finally model said heck rolled over went daughter calls remarked Dad flew farther thought would doesnt fly build knew trouble fighting stall Following incident people come up ask lost engine radio problems replied person No pilot suffered dumb thumbs explained problem Two count Two publication reports listed demise model said because lost engine other claimed radio problems talked both reporters shortly after crash witnessed guess should appreciate fact reporters attempting save reputation expense over decade CDed events Buder Park St Louis county flew very regular basis usually least once week Since public flying site St Louis area very large percentage newcomers hobby gravitated first flights As result crash two involving big names contest circuit problems associated newcomers Buder came enjoy title Glitch Alley Its true Buder located area could produce reasonably high levels RF Its true under certain conditions minor bounces throttle hits could encountered scale model tail-on antenna middle figure-eight period time between 1967 moved 1985 cannot remember losing model unexplained reason None reasons ever added up interference following letter arrived working column really speaks volumes subject May 25 1991 Dear Bob past 3 months have seen crash seven models same general area just east flying site couple pilots concluded crashes due outside interference rest pilots jumped band wagon came same conclusion Several us old heads decided recent phenomenon needed thoroughly investigated just case true field located 45 miles south air force base 20 miles due east large metropolitan area overheard several remarks such interference probably came base because have lot busier since Operation Desert Shield/Storm began Sometimes word probably changed must have spent 21 years Air Force last five base still know number people work talked people work control tower Air Force Communications Command Headquarters Military Airlift Command Headquarters several electronic maintenance shops flight line None people knowledge anything new base line electronic transmitters Whenever military goes high alert status actual war communications systems go what called Situation Minimize reduce message traffic electronic transmissions absolute minimum possible reduce chance bad guys could intercept anything significance conflict Gulf would have caused drastic reduction electronic transmission base increase local hobby shop owner/operator purchased Radio Shack scanner March can programmed cover 72 MHz frequencies brought out field several times found nothing RC frequencies except own transmitters did detect some noise 72240 couple other frequencies near RC channels thought very weak signals since scanner doesnt have signal strength meter could sure decided request loan AMA scanner further investigate situation hobby shop owner chairman club frequency committee took AMA scanner field didnt find anything considered threat RC models asked take AMA scanner field see what could come up took scanner field five separate days total 23 hours found Absolutely Nothing could classified significant outside interference 100 Model Aviation did find what believe pagers 72240 72395 72865 MHz signal strength barely moved needle off zero also found several harmonic frequencies generated RC transmitters concerned Two transmitters channel 16 channel 38 generated harmonic channel 60 strength 7 75 db Two other transmitters channel 14 channel 38 generated harmonic channel 13 strength 75 8 kb transmitter 16 other 14 generated harmonic 12 strength 85 9 kb Several other combinations radios generated harmonics strong enough scanner lock such low strength unreadable strength meter Armed information reinforced suspicions crashes caused outside interference decided attempt identify real problems first pilot talked started flying last year barely capable solo flight said absolutely positive cause crash interference because fifth flight day controls went limit plane crashed asked him checked condition batteries said checked airborne pack small VOM no load read 38 volts problem someone told him 33 volts sufficient have always operated theory 44 volts minimum that really marginal 46 volts would much safer cut-off point second pilot talked has hobby two years does very little flying himself Hes involved mainly because 14 year old son active fair pilot son

CompetitionA Note Fromthe Technical Director Bob Underwood y day dawns bright clear gentle breeze wafts easily right down runway participants anticipated grace scene everything going just fine Since its first RC event new field really happy its working out well happens dreaded word rings out loud clear flight line Interference Everyone watches helplessly model crashes far out field pieces returned pit area post mortum begins Several persons convinced pilot error Another recalls individual having problems same system just last week Still another long time modeler surveys wreckage pronounces cause radio installation problems chilling statement comes person states channel such such always gets hit around area no subsequent problems surface problem related reasons will probably fade everyones memory bank within week exception fated pilot course us have CD period time know such incidents seem come bunches like bananas therein face potential serious problem related safety establishment rumors can destroy prospects future events site individual club Thus subject month effort try bring some problem perspective let use some personal experiences supplement few reports reliable individuals First consider several incidents very easy document few years back Mint Julep Scale contest scenario developed known interference produced two flight lines site separated some 200 feet During round about taxi out takeoff judges told hold moment since model middle takeoff run other line left flight path model taking off going about 20 30 feet off end transmitter antenna could turn transmitter off since model runway both engines idle As other model flew suffered some throttle elevator bounces didnt crash otherwise beautiful takeoff spoiled two lines now placed closer together event year Top Gun event saw evidence classic 2 IM situation practice day flying channel 25 another contestant attempting get airborne channel 48 experiencing problems however landed shut down transmitter problems went away event information made very clear 50 channels would used equipment transmitters receivers narrowband channel 48 receiver using evidently narrowband 23 channel 2 IM problem very clear Fortunately air first Incidentally since flying odd channel spent quite bit time checking persons flying adjacent channels 24 26 48 difference case resulted being practice model actually part competition follow two occurrences rather simple document often clear cut time incident MRM takes over MRM stands Modelers Rumor Mill communication system fastest form known man also much better providing garbled output old game Telephone played parties kid Sometimes rumors produced spite accurate information Several years ago again Mint Julep event crashed twin engine model take off wind shifted across runway during takeoff run model turned toward far edge runway lifted off too soon shear luck managed keep airborne couple hundred yards never managed get act together Finally model said heck rolled over went daughter calls remarked Dad flew farther thought would doesnt fly build knew trouble fighting stall Following incident people come up ask lost engine radio problems replied person No pilot suffered dumb thumbs explained problem Two count Two publication reports listed demise model said because lost engine other claimed radio problems talked both reporters shortly after crash witnessed guess should appreciate fact reporters attempting save reputation expense over decade CDed events Buder Park St Louis county flew very regular basis usually least once week Since public flying site St Louis area very large percentage newcomers hobby gravitated first flights As result crash two involving big names contest circuit problems associated newcomers Buder came enjoy title Glitch Alley Its true Buder located area could produce reasonably high levels RF Its true under certain conditions minor bounces throttle hits could encountered scale model tail-on antenna middle figure-eight period time between 1967 moved 1985 cannot remember losing model unexplained reason None reasons ever added up interference following letter arrived working column really speaks volumes subject May 25 1991 Dear Bob past 3 months have seen crash seven models same general area just east flying site couple pilots concluded crashes due outside interference rest pilots jumped band wagon came same conclusion Several us old heads decided recent phenomenon needed thoroughly investigated just case true field located 45 miles south air force base 20 miles due east large metropolitan area overheard several remarks such interference probably came base because have lot busier since Operation Desert Shield/Storm began Sometimes word probably changed must have spent 21 years Air Force last five base still know number people work talked people work control tower Air Force Communications Command Headquarters Military Airlift Command Headquarters several electronic maintenance shops flight line None people knowledge anything new base line electronic transmitters Whenever military goes high alert status actual war communications systems go what called Situation Minimize reduce message traffic electronic transmissions absolute minimum possible reduce chance bad guys could intercept anything significance conflict Gulf would have caused drastic reduction electronic transmission base increase local hobby shop owner/operator purchased Radio Shack scanner March can programmed cover 72 MHz frequencies brought out field several times found nothing RC frequencies except own transmitters did detect some noise 72240 couple other frequencies near RC channels thought very weak signals since scanner doesnt have signal strength meter could sure decided request loan AMA scanner further investigate situation hobby shop owner chairman club frequency committee took AMA scanner field didnt find anything considered threat RC models asked take AMA scanner field see what could come up took scanner field five separate days total 23 hours found Absolutely Nothing could classified significant outside interference 100 Model Aviation did find what believe pagers 72240 72395 72865 MHz signal strength barely moved needle off zero also found several harmonic frequencies generated RC transmitters concerned Two transmitters channel 16 channel 38 generated harmonic channel 60 strength 7 75 db Two other transmitters channel 14 channel 38 generated harmonic channel 13 strength 75 8 kb transmitter 16 other 14 generated harmonic 12 strength 85 9 kb Several other combinations radios generated harmonics strong enough scanner lock such low strength unreadable strength meter Armed information reinforced suspicions crashes caused outside interference decided attempt identify real problems first pilot talked started flying last year barely capable solo flight said absolutely positive cause crash interference because fifth flight day controls went limit plane crashed asked him checked condition batteries said checked airborne pack small VOM no load read 38 volts problem someone told him 33 volts sufficient have always operated theory 44 volts minimum that really marginal 46 volts would much safer cut-off point second pilot talked has hobby two years does very little flying himself Hes involved mainly because 14 year old son active fair pilot son flying plane nosed straight over level flight crashed got crash site about 1000 feet field low area about 10 12 feet below level flying field servos limit left transmitter field turned came out low area could see field servos recentered themselves father concluded meant interference over low area passed through edge interference radio started working again Im sure what caused crash think radio

CompetitionA Note Fromthe Technical Director Bob Underwood y day dawns bright clear gentle breeze wafts easily right down runway participants anticipated grace scene everything going just fine Since its first RC event new field really happy its working out well happens dreaded word rings out loud clear flight line Interference Everyone watches helplessly model crashes far out field pieces returned pit area post mortum begins Several persons convinced pilot error Another recalls individual having problems same system just last week Still another long time modeler surveys wreckage pronounces cause radio installation problems chilling statement comes person states channel such such always gets hit around area no subsequent problems surface problem related reasons will probably fade everyones memory bank within week exception fated pilot course us have CD period time know such incidents seem come bunches like bananas therein face potential serious problem related safety establishment rumors can destroy prospects future events site individual club Thus subject month effort try bring some problem perspective let use some personal experiences supplement few reports reliable individuals First consider several incidents very easy document few years back Mint Julep Scale contest scenario developed known interference produced two flight lines site separated some 200 feet During round about taxi out takeoff judges told hold moment since model middle takeoff run other line left flight path model taking off going about 20 30 feet off end transmitter antenna could turn transmitter off since model runway both engines idle As other model flew suffered some throttle elevator bounces didnt crash otherwise beautiful takeoff spoiled two lines now placed closer together event year Top Gun event saw evidence classic 2 IM situation practice day flying channel 25 another contestant attempting get airborne channel 48 experiencing problems however landed shut down transmitter problems went away event information made very clear 50 channels would used equipment transmitters receivers narrowband channel 48 receiver using evidently narrowband 23 channel 2 IM problem very clear Fortunately air first Incidentally since flying odd channel spent quite bit time checking persons flying adjacent channels 24 26 48 difference case resulted being practice model actually part competition follow two occurrences rather simple document often clear cut time incident MRM takes over MRM stands Modelers Rumor Mill communication system fastest form known man also much better providing garbled output old game Telephone played parties kid Sometimes rumors produced spite accurate information Several years ago again Mint Julep event crashed twin engine model take off wind shifted across runway during takeoff run model turned toward far edge runway lifted off too soon shear luck managed keep airborne couple hundred yards never managed get act together Finally model said heck rolled over went daughter calls remarked Dad flew farther thought would doesnt fly build knew trouble fighting stall Following incident people come up ask lost engine radio problems replied person No pilot suffered dumb thumbs explained problem Two count Two publication reports listed demise model said because lost engine other claimed radio problems talked both reporters shortly after crash witnessed guess should appreciate fact reporters attempting save reputation expense over decade CDed events Buder Park St Louis county flew very regular basis usually least once week Since public flying site St Louis area very large percentage newcomers hobby gravitated first flights As result crash two involving big names contest circuit problems associated newcomers Buder came enjoy title Glitch Alley Its true Buder located area could produce reasonably high levels RF Its true under certain conditions minor bounces throttle hits could encountered scale model tail-on antenna middle figure-eight period time between 1967 moved 1985 cannot remember losing model unexplained reason None reasons ever added up interference following letter arrived working column really speaks volumes subject May 25 1991 Dear Bob past 3 months have seen crash seven models same general area just east flying site couple pilots concluded crashes due outside interference rest pilots jumped band wagon came same conclusion Several us old heads decided recent phenomenon needed thoroughly investigated just case true field located 45 miles south air force base 20 miles due east large metropolitan area overheard several remarks such interference probably came base because have lot busier since Operation Desert Shield/Storm began Sometimes word probably changed must have spent 21 years Air Force last five base still know number people work talked people work control tower Air Force Communications Command Headquarters Military Airlift Command Headquarters several electronic maintenance shops flight line None people knowledge anything new base line electronic transmitters Whenever military goes high alert status actual war communications systems go what called Situation Minimize reduce message traffic electronic transmissions absolute minimum possible reduce chance bad guys could intercept anything significance conflict Gulf would have caused drastic reduction electronic transmission base increase local hobby shop owner/operator purchased Radio Shack scanner March can programmed cover 72 MHz frequencies brought out field several times found nothing RC frequencies except own transmitters did detect some noise 72240 couple other frequencies near RC channels thought very weak signals since scanner doesnt have signal strength meter could sure decided request loan AMA scanner further investigate situation hobby shop owner chairman club frequency committee took AMA scanner field didnt find anything considered threat RC models asked take AMA scanner field see what could come up took scanner field five separate days total 23 hours found Absolutely Nothing could classified significant outside interference 100 Model Aviation did find what believe pagers 72240 72395 72865 MHz signal strength barely moved needle off zero also found several harmonic frequencies generated RC transmitters concerned Two transmitters channel 16 channel 38 generated harmonic channel 60 strength 7 75 db Two other transmitters channel 14 channel 38 generated harmonic channel 13 strength 75 8 kb transmitter 16 other 14 generated harmonic 12 strength 85 9 kb Several other combinations radios generated harmonics strong enough scanner lock such low strength unreadable strength meter Armed information reinforced suspicions crashes caused outside interference decided attempt identify real problems first pilot talked started flying last year barely capable solo flight said absolutely positive cause crash interference because fifth flight day controls went limit plane crashed asked him checked condition batteries said checked airborne pack small VOM no load read 38 volts problem someone told him 33 volts sufficient have always operated theory 44 volts minimum that really marginal 46 volts would much safer cut-off point second pilot talked has hobby two years does very little flying himself Hes involved mainly because 14 year old son active fair pilot son flying plane nosed straight over level flight crashed got crash site about 1000 feet field low area about 10 12 feet below level flying field servos limit left transmitter field turned came out low area could see field servos recentered themselves father concluded meant interference over low area passed through edge interference radio started working again Im sure what caused crash think radio

CompetitionA Note Fromthe Technical Director Bob Underwood y day dawns bright clear gentle breeze wafts easily right down runway participants anticipated grace scene everything going just fine Since its first RC event new field really happy its working out well happens dreaded word rings out loud clear flight line Interference Everyone watches helplessly model crashes far out field pieces returned pit area post mortum begins Several persons convinced pilot error Another recalls individual having problems same system just last week Still another long time modeler surveys wreckage pronounces cause radio installation problems chilling statement comes person states channel such such always gets hit around area no subsequent problems surface problem related reasons will probably fade everyones memory bank within week exception fated pilot course us have CD period time know such incidents seem come bunches like bananas therein face potential serious problem related safety establishment rumors can destroy prospects future events site individual club Thus subject month effort try bring some problem perspective let use some personal experiences supplement few reports reliable individuals First consider several incidents very easy document few years back Mint Julep Scale contest scenario developed known interference produced two flight lines site separated some 200 feet During round about taxi out takeoff judges told hold moment since model middle takeoff run other line left flight path model taking off going about 20 30 feet off end transmitter antenna could turn transmitter off since model runway both engines idle As other model flew suffered some throttle elevator bounces didnt crash otherwise beautiful takeoff spoiled two lines now placed closer together event year Top Gun event saw evidence classic 2 IM situation practice day flying channel 25 another contestant attempting get airborne channel 48 experiencing problems however landed shut down transmitter problems went away event information made very clear 50 channels would used equipment transmitters receivers narrowband channel 48 receiver using evidently narrowband 23 channel 2 IM problem very clear Fortunately air first Incidentally since flying odd channel spent quite bit time checking persons flying adjacent channels 24 26 48 difference case resulted being practice model actually part competition follow two occurrences rather simple document often clear cut time incident MRM takes over MRM stands Modelers Rumor Mill communication system fastest form known man also much better providing garbled output old game Telephone played parties kid Sometimes rumors produced spite accurate information Several years ago again Mint Julep event crashed twin engine model take off wind shifted across runway during takeoff run model turned toward far edge runway lifted off too soon shear luck managed keep airborne couple hundred yards never managed get act together Finally model said heck rolled over went daughter calls remarked Dad flew farther thought would doesnt fly build knew trouble fighting stall Following incident people come up ask lost engine radio problems replied person No pilot suffered dumb thumbs explained problem Two count Two publication reports listed demise model said because lost engine other claimed radio problems talked both reporters shortly after crash witnessed guess should appreciate fact reporters attempting save reputation expense over decade CDed events Buder Park St Louis county flew very regular basis usually least once week Since public flying site St Louis area very large percentage newcomers hobby gravitated first flights As result crash two involving big names contest circuit problems associated newcomers Buder came enjoy title Glitch Alley Its true Buder located area could produce reasonably high levels RF Its true under certain conditions minor bounces throttle hits could encountered scale model tail-on antenna middle figure-eight period time between 1967 moved 1985 cannot remember losing model unexplained reason None reasons ever added up interference following letter arrived working column really speaks volumes subject May 25 1991 Dear Bob past 3 months have seen crash seven models same general area just east flying site couple pilots concluded crashes due outside interference rest pilots jumped band wagon came same conclusion Several us old heads decided recent phenomenon needed thoroughly investigated just case true field located 45 miles south air force base 20 miles due east large metropolitan area overheard several remarks such interference probably came base because have lot busier since Operation Desert Shield/Storm began Sometimes word probably changed must have spent 21 years Air Force last five base still know number people work talked people work control tower Air Force Communications Command Headquarters Military Airlift Command Headquarters several electronic maintenance shops flight line None people knowledge anything new base line electronic transmitters Whenever military goes high alert status actual war communications systems go what called Situation Minimize reduce message traffic electronic transmissions absolute minimum possible reduce chance bad guys could intercept anything significance conflict Gulf would have caused drastic reduction electronic transmission base increase local hobby shop owner/operator purchased Radio Shack scanner March can programmed cover 72 MHz frequencies brought out field several times found nothing RC frequencies except own transmitters did detect some noise 72240 couple other frequencies near RC channels thought very weak signals since scanner doesnt have signal strength meter could sure decided request loan AMA scanner further investigate situation hobby shop owner chairman club frequency committee took AMA scanner field didnt find anything considered threat RC models asked take AMA scanner field see what could come up took scanner field five separate days total 23 hours found Absolutely Nothing could classified significant outside interference 100 Model Aviation did find what believe pagers 72240 72395 72865 MHz signal strength barely moved needle off zero also found several harmonic frequencies generated RC transmitters concerned Two transmitters channel 16 channel 38 generated harmonic channel 60 strength 7 75 db Two other transmitters channel 14 channel 38 generated harmonic channel 13 strength 75 8 kb transmitter 16 other 14 generated harmonic 12 strength 85 9 kb Several other combinations radios generated harmonics strong enough scanner lock such low strength unreadable strength meter Armed information reinforced suspicions crashes caused outside interference decided attempt identify real problems first pilot talked started flying last year barely capable solo flight said absolutely positive cause crash interference because fifth flight day controls went limit plane crashed asked him checked condition batteries said checked airborne pack small VOM no load read 38 volts problem someone told him 33 volts sufficient have always operated theory 44 volts minimum that really marginal 46 volts would much safer cut-off point second pilot talked has hobby two years does very little flying himself Hes involved mainly because 14 year old son active fair pilot son flying plane nosed straight over level flight crashed got crash site about 1000 feet field low area about 10 12 feet below level flying field servos limit left transmitter field turned came out low area could see field servos recentered themselves father concluded meant interference over low area passed through edge interference radio started working again Im sure what caused crash think radio
