BMFA Scale Technical Committee Newsletter - December 2013 Editorial: Andy Sephton
BMFA Scale Technical Committee Newsletter - December 2013 Editorial: Andy Sephton The main news for this issue is Scale Helicopters will be joining BMFA Scale from the R/C Power Technical Committee with effect from the 2014 season. The 2014 Rule Book will incorporate the Helicopter Scale Rules and we will be co-opting a Scale Helicopter flyer onto the Scale Technical Committee. I didn’t get the chance to see them at this year’s Nationals, but I’m looking forward to witnessing their models next year. I’m sure you’ll join me in giving them a warm welcome into our group. For Scale Indoor Flyers, please note that the next Scale Indoor Nationals will be my last as organiser. We need a successor, please contact me for more information. I was asked by more than one modeller if static judging could be brought into the flying only schedule for Scale Indoor Free Flight and RC so that more complex models with less than ideal flying characteristics would not be disadvantaged. The very reason that flying only was introduced was to give the less complex models a chance in Scale competition. It also allows models with less than complete documentation to be constructed and demonstrated in competition. The best place to compete complex models is the Nationals, Flying Only is for flying models and there is no mark given for complexity. There will be a number of rule changes for 2014 in the January 2014 issue of the BMFA Scale Rule Book. See later in this Newsletter for a summary Results: to save space, result tables for those competitions that have their results promulgated on the Scale BMFA website have not been included in the Newsletter.

STRAIGHT AND LEVEL By Brad Thorn as President Antique/Classic Division The Fall season has arrived with its warm days and cool evenings, and in most parts of the USA the fly-in season has ended. Scattered among these har vest days are small social gatherings known in North Carolina as "Pig Pickin's". The purpose is to enjoy fellowship, refreshments and excellent food. Most "Pig Pickin's" engage a chef with the know-how and ex pertise to slowly roast a whole pig over the hickory fire. In late September we received a phone call from Antique/Classic Division member Farrell James of Kannapolis, North Carolina, inviting my wife Ferne and myself to a "Pig Pickin'" on their strip. We eagerly accepted his kind invitation and our plans for that the temporary parking area - part of the James' Saturday were set. Now, you do not attend a "Pig cow pasture, with cut grass and an open fence for Pickin'" in a modern aircraft. My homebuilt has only entrance. After engine shutdown we were greeted, one seat, the Staggerwing is still under restoration, photographed, and then Ferne undertook the gymnas so the choice was obvious - scrounge an appropriate tics of departing the front seat of the J -3.

Pete Covington, Co-chairman of the temperature forecast for the day had been the the Antique judging committee at Oshkosh, resides in middle 60s, but by the time we arrived it had already Spencer, Virginia, about 45 miles from the residence climbed to the mid-seventies.
