George M hlyers JEWS FLASHDecember 1992 National Soaring Society NSS has offered represent saliplane fliers Through communications Robert Massmann president NSS Ive learned plan create AMA SIG Special Interest Group Self-Launched Sailpianes SLS under guidance NSS SIC support friend fellow SEFLIer Steve Anthony has invited contribute bimonthly electri-flier column NSS Newsletter Sailplane several motivations change 1 35% NSS membership already electri-fliers 2 Sailplane contestants long largest group AMA Nats dwindling number 3 Electri-flying shows growth model aviation 4 Most electri-fliers already fly sailplanes addition other models movement seeks bring together sailplane fliers regardless launching method really makes no difference sailplane gets altitude whether hand-launch updraft string-towing hand high-start winch power planeor using on-board propulsion Once get up go fishing same thermals Ive launched sailplanes methods listed above differences Ive noticed field size needed pile support equipment carry amount noise amount cleanup after flying think movement makes sense wants intelligent method handicapping sailplanes can compete head-tohead regardless launching method factor isnt obvious winched sailplane wing loadings similar electrified sailplanes because winch loads require strong heavy wing construction Electric sailplanes though carry motor batteries can use lighter construction g factors maneuvering less winch launching Right Air view Lantana Florida landfill Jim Gritton Memorial Field center photo lake top center grass field used previously just visible

Hemmel Fred Morriss boat retrieving plane let launch electric F3E landed grass beach right purists sport Pure sailpianers will argue no sailplane should have kind motorignoring such successful full-scale examples motor-glider Nelson Bumble Bee Fournier RF-4 American Eaglet Ryan various ASW models wanted really pure about would towing sailplanes behind motor cars Du Punts did behind power planes virtually everyone else does today AutoA glider tug piggyback power plane setup similar requires two pilots two airplanes two ground support kits its noisy can speak experience because Ive logged over 250 glider tows see Model Aviation January 1980 crash first tow used rudder/elevator airplane bad choice tug winch heavy bulky chore set up support particularly flying alone contest winch setup needs two people addition pilot off-road motorbike retrieve line Nobody wants see children running around field winch use because fast-moving lines dangerous Winch fliers suffer wing failures line tangles winch still good way launch different Norm Rosenstock Joyce Hart owner Craft House Hobby Shop 1079 N Military Trail West Palm Beach FL addition large stock hobby supplies Joyce keeps coffee donuts counter customers Tickets issued sale go jar draw model train set left Christmas present Thats compete mail order houses 68 Model Aviation ng like towing water skier requires least three people sizes weights sailpianes short time Its almost good having motor sailplane Sailpianes can launched rocket diesel glow electric motors Power pods convenient towing also make noise Noise model aviations second-largest problem Holding field youve got biggest problem quietest launch methods hand launches hand-tows high-starts Highstarts hand-tows take time set up tear down say nothing time spent looking line after launch Handlaunched sailplanes slope soarers need least way support equipment Most sport plane airports ban free flight models sailplanes control line models pylon racers helicopters listed kinds aircraft has different flight characteristic can argued safety concern behind exclusions Still Ive yet have refuse guest privileges after have demonstrated precision aerobatics speed F3E 10-cell WACO Touch-and-goes also possible looked upon stunt Flying standard pattern precision landing seems impress anything else As Mr Massmann noted has learned about soaring year since put up first self-launched sailplane learned previous 15 years flying string-launched sailplanes After sailplane falls out thermal can motor back discover thermals move process learns about fly sailplanes well Once up sailplanes except slope soarers fly alike Old-Timers should join SIG Except appearance hard find difference between Old-Timer selflaunched sailplane Old-Timers electrified quiet electrics old days So separate launching method predict SLS SIG will develop serve mainly electrified sailplanes Electric-powered sailplanes ultimate convenience clean relatively quiet can launched retrieved tiniest spaces because motor can restarted flight type sailplane flier stepped out automobiles same time guys would first air would electri fliers hand-launchers electri-flier hand-launcher might land same time electri flier would motoring back against wind sprang up handlauncher would preparing climb cut down tree recover model control smaller fields clearly future model aviation Free flight has disappeared East Coast because large vacant fields have disappeared Maybe Dave Plan Norm Rosenstock showed ideal site near Melbourne florida Electric motors ideal multiengine scale Perhaps scale people will next embrace electricity Theyll find can make scale models swing scale propellers having unscale mufflers over model Electricity doesnt soak off paint spread oil over Theyll also find people already flying electrified scale models nothing else comes SLS 51G least electric sailplanes shouldnt left out consideration next Nats TAKE DUMP Norm Rosenstock says ought law requiring model airport top closed landfill makes sense because aircraft modelers will tolerate conditions other park inhabitants will reject bugs smells lumpy soil under growth snakes etc takes someone start action sat Norm Don Eddy Larry Rothell learn Palm Beach Skyhawks Inc AMA 1141 got flying site long time ago somebody started trash pile Lantana florida kept getting bigger things dig
