The Russian representative, Evgeny Yakovlev, during the official training on day 12 while executing the second square loop, destroys his model in the air due to a structural failure or material fatigue in the inserts of the outer wing. He used take apart wings in halves using the mentioned device. The fuselage splits in two halves thanks to a device similar to that used in the wings. The model of 1700 grams of total weight, used a "Discovery Retro" engine in prototype state, and not available for sale yet, made by Yuri Yatsenko. The running of the engine , and specially the 4-2-4 transition was simply perfect. The crash let us look in detail it:s excellent construction, curiously, it doesn:t used any composite material, except some ultralight fiberglass in the front of the fuselage. All the hardware of the model (horns, bellcrank, etc) was hand made, of exquisite workmanship. The finish of the plane, quite simple, was perfect, showing as a curious fact the wing (C-Tube construction) covered in painted mylar.
In fifth place, was Roberto Rodríguez from Córdoba with his Bananna II and ST.51, Mauro Fernández,who showed up after a long lay off flying the Mandinga II,nicknamed by friends like "the light blue", model that:s flying since 1986 and fighting. This time with a ST.46. In third place was Sergio Vitale from Rosario, with a Cardinal and ST.51. Also with Cardinal and ST.51 in second place Claudio C. Chacon from Rafaela. And thanks to a smooth performance,took the first place Gabriel Cismondi from Rosario,with his Giulia II using a Jet-GMA.50 piped. Congratulations Gabriel, and greetings to all participants.
Saturday the 13th, model verification and arrangements for the first heat, line pull test, 5 minutes to start, which give time to some training flights where the lines of the Goddio/Giay model broke passing near two timekeeper at a speed of 200KM/H. This makes that judges and timekeepers go away and start their functions outside the perimetral protection fence. After changing the model that were completely destroyed the heat starts and is won by Mary/Mary who also makes the best time of the championships 3:24"37, against to the untested model of Goddio/Giay that only scores 4:33"20. Second heat;: Here is Wieck/Brietzke who shows its quality and put a time of 3:26"14 followed by Senson/Rodrigues with 3:51"51 and Minetti / Perren who couldn:t complete all the laps. Third Heat: Here the Brazilians Mary/Mary flies with the calm of the knowledge of their excellent times. Completed the heat Minetti/Perren and Goddio Giay these ones with a third model from Russia that is very unstable. It started with Goddio/Giay leading and slowly taking some advantage, followed by the Brazilians and with a deficient model Minetti/Perren, during the laps, the leading model looses power and isn:t catched by the pitman, and the heat ended without any change in times. Fifth heat :Between Mary/Mary, Wieck/Brietzke and Minetti / Perren, the last ones are who surprisingly marks an incredible 3:27"19. Sixth heat: Goddio / Giay still have a theoretical possibility to improve their time, the model running 18" - 18"20,but in the first pit the model showed it:s instability, slips away of the pitman hands and that was the end. In the case of Senson/Rodrigues the cronos never show less than 19"50 so they had little chance. Unfortunately the equipment didn:t give a chance to this team who in the SouthAmerican championships of 1997 marked 3:24"32. Final to 200 laps. Instant start for the 3 teams and showing the Brazilian team running away from the local team, but in a few laps the Wieck/Brietzke start to heat up to much so they have to land to fix that , so the second place is in doubt. To the middle of the race Wieck/Brietzke have recovered the second place, but the engine still have heat troubles so the local team still have chances but in the pit the model slips away, losing the last Argentinean hope. The first World Cup in America, leaves us with Mary/Mary from Brazil in the first position, Wieck/Brietzke also from Brazil in second, third Minetti/Perren from Argentina, fourth Senson/Rodrigues from Brazil and fifth Goddio/Giay from Argentina.
The Argentinean delegation were integrated by Gabriel Cismondi and Sergio Vitale, both from Rosario as pilot and mechanic respectively, who got a monumental debut, considering that their opponents weren:t precisely rookies. As a matter of fact, Gabriel had to fight against Sergei Kolossov in one of the rounds. Also, Argentina were represented by two Ukrainians, residents in Rafaela, Volodymir Grechko and Valeri Bashtanar, both of them experienced pilots and champions in their country. All models look the same. They are simple flying wings with eight 3mm balsa ribs, trailing edges in pine, leading edges preformed in foam and covering in mylar. They are very solid and resists direct impacts against the ground. Most of the wrecks are due to direct hits between models in flight. The props are made in fiberglass and resin with reinforcements in kevlar and carbon. Engines are from different brands, but all of them of Russian made of the highest quality in workmanship and parts. They are constructed in very limited series and only the best are used in competence. With a displacement of 2.5 cm3, with an average of 29.000 r.p.m, burning fuel made of 10% nitro, 20% castor oil and 70% methanol. To relate each of the combats (totaling 18) would be impossible. Just say that all of them make an incredible show with a feverish rythm that kept the adrenaline high in pilots and mechanics at a 20 degree in Richter scale, without forgetting the 35° C that warmed up all the event. In one word: OUTSTANDING.
Goes with this lines a special greetings to all who in some way collaborated to the organization of this event.
Claudio Cesar Chacon.
The Australian Nationals are still in progress as I write this to you. F2C was contested on January 1 and 2. You would imagine that the conditions were hot and dry with several thousand flies as close spectators. Packing for such conditions included sun-block (SPF30+),insect repellant, hat, shorts, light T-shirts and the usual summer requirements. WRONG! Rain was been the dominant weather together with low cloud bases and temperature in the low 20C region. The nat:s was centred in Toowoomba about 140Km west of Brisbane. With an elevation of about 700M AMSL the cloud was at ground level the last few mornings. The hard surface was at Oakey Army Aviation centre about 30Km west north-west of Toowoomba. The elevation at Oakey is lower at 400M AMSL and as such we had slightly better weather than Toowoomba. Light rain was falling during most of the heats and got heavier in time for the semis. Unanimous agreement and common sense allowed the semis and final to be flown on 2 January. Light rain was falling that day as well but didn:t effect the racing too much.

Regarding the silencer outlet rule interpretation that was mentioned in ======================================================================= the Kiev Bulletin 3, and has led to discussions: ================================================ For an example of a current design that may be implicated, have a look at the Cyclon muffler at: http://www.algonet.se/~ehnwall/cycl_c.jpg BULLETIN TEXT----------------------------------------------------------- 3. Jury F2D recommends paying attention to RULE 4.4.5 specifying the silencer, particularly the circular outlet total area. The outlet is considered to be the rearmost part of the exhaust system! This is where the dimension is taken. Pilots are reminded to fit the appropriate exhaust system. MY VIEWS---------------------------------------------------------------- There needs to be a further clarification here, since if taken literally, the above rule interpretation requires that the radius or taper of the outlet hole rear end must be infinitely small, which is impossible. Some allowance for a distance between the rearmost point and the 8 mm restriction is necessary, otherwise a great majority of the current mufflers will become outruled. I have notifed Bengt-Olof Samuelsson of the CIAM C/L Subcommittee about this, and he has started activities to resolve the matter. Within a week there should be a further clarification, which I shall give you by e-mail. I suggest any activities to change the mufflers are stopped until then! Send your comments to me or anyone in the C/L subcommittee. Their names and e-mail addresses can be found at: http://www.fai.org/aeromodelling/committees/f2/f2_members.html Regards, Goran
Mike,
Just in case you haven:t heard yet---here are the final results from
today:s flyoff.
Walker 1114.75
Werwage 1110.75
Fitzgerald 1108
Fancher 1108
Urtnowski 1091.25
It was a close race for the top four and went to the last score before we
had a winner. David Fitz had an unfortunate engine run on his last
flight otherwise it would have been a closer race between Walker and
Fitz. It was a good thing his engine quit during his level laps!
That:s it for now.

I:ve just heard from Jean-Paul Perret that the 2000 W/C in France will take place August 12 - 19. [ NOT! See correction above! ]
Also, Switzerland was given the year 2000 scale W/C with the swiss C/L committee handling the F4B part of the event.
The competition took place from may 22-24 and was kind of cold at 10 degrees or so, but at least there was no rain over the entire three days duration. This year:s event was perfectly organized by the austrian c/l subcommitee in memory of the unforgettable Hans Niederwimmer, a great personality and the founder of the Salzburg contest, who passed away last year. It was good to see the flame being carried on and the memory of Hans was honored by 96 participants from many european countries.
F2A saw 12 entries with Peter Gruendler from Germany taking the win with 285.2 km/h. 2nd. went Sergio Tomelleri, Italy, with 283.9 and 3rd was Tomasz Rachwal, Poland with 283.0 km/h.
The F2B trophy went to Serge Delabarde from France, who was best of 44 contestants. 2nd place was won by Attila Morotz from Hungary and 3rd went to fellow countryman Andras Juhasz. Serge Delabarde, the winner, flies a Kolesnikov design fully take-apartable airplane with a dedicated russian stunt engine in it. (yours truly managed to make it to 9th, trying to master a Norm Whittle design Sultan-SL with a PA.61 piped motor ).
F2C Team-Race went to Pennisi / Rossi from Italy with a best qualification heat of 3.22 and a final time of 6.50. The winning team was followed by Gilbert / Gilbert, France (7.04) and Magli / Pirazzini, Italy, recording a final time of 7.32. 20 Teams have been in the race.
The contest is now renamed into " Hans Niederwimmer Gedaechntisfliegen" and is held bi-annually, next time over the third weekend in may 2000. International Flyers are welcome to participate, of course.

Here is a contest result for your information:
N.W. Regionals, Roseburg, Oregon, U.S.A. May 23-25,1997
F2A Speed Flown on 17.69 m lines
1st Chris Sackett 175+mph (281 km/h) Zalp
2nd Naemura/Gibeault 173+mph (278 km/h) Zalp
3rd Jim Rhoades 166+mph (267 km/h) Profi
Other than causing known props to be slower than expected, there were no
adverse effects to flying on the new longer lines. Physically, all pilots
noted that the models are much easier to keep up with & fly as good or
even better than previous. Performance appears to be down at least 5 mph
(8 km/h) from previous, also.

Gossip:
At a contest last week, Graeme Wilson and Paul Stein did the
following times in F2C:
H1: 3:17
H2: 3:19 (With a 5 flick second stop, about 4 secs lost)
Final 6:41
I was very impressed to say the least. This would have to be the
fastest Cyclon around I think.
Do you know what the current world records are for Heat and Final
Times?
[G.O: 3:14.8 and 4:42 although Titov/Yugov did 6:39 at the :95 E/Ch.

As you can see, there are many events in Australia to divert attention
away from FAI classes. This is mainly because most competitors never
compete internationally, so it is easier to be "king" of one of the local
events instead. Also each State likes to place emphasis on their
preferred events. This makes running a Nationals quite challenging!

27-JAN-1997
From Bill Bell, NZL
Asia Pacific Control Line Champs
Unfortunately I had to pull out, but did succeed in putting in a slow
13.37 sec flight in Asia Pacific champs,that was held with the Trans Tasman
competition in Whangarei last weekend.
A lot of F2A, F2B and F2C and F2D flyers from around the world missed a
very good meet.
Only a full team from Australia, plus one stunt pilot from Singapore and a
combat judge Pavel Klima, from the Czech republic attended.
Very good flying conditions (hot)
Next Asia pacific meet, we expect to be held in Singapore in 1999. I hope
more people will attend this time...should be a ripper.
