CONTROL LINE SPEED - 2003/04
WE HAVE GONE quite awhile with no Speed column in Model
Aviation. During a conversation I had with Bob Hunt prior to the
Nationals this past summer, I inquired about the missing column. He
reached through the telephone and twisted my arm, and here I am! Let
me introduce myself.
F2A - 2004/11
F2A: Thirty-Three Speed fliers from
around the world competed in this CLWC,
and 15 North American Speed Society
(NASS) members volunteered their time
to perform the jobs required for
competition at this level.
CONTROL LINE SPEED - 2004/12
TIMING OF A Speed flight is the act that tells us how our model
performed. Today, many good digital stopwatches are available
that range from those built into a wristwatch to ones with special
functions. A few allow split timing so that a single lap can be
timed while the whole flight is being timed. When the flight is
completed, the time still needs to be converted to mph to
determine how well it went.

IN THIS COLUMN I will write about fuel systems for Speed models.
At first glance it would seem that not many problems could occur with
these simple-looking systems, but improper fuel-delivery setups cause
many modelers to lose flight attempts, and they can also cause pilots to
turn poor times when they do make everything come together for a full
run.
