Závody Lehkých Letadel Lympne 1923-26
ZÁVODY LEHKÝCH LETADEL LYMPNE 19231923----26262626 (((LYMPNE(LYMPNE LIGHT AIRCRAFT TRIALSTRIALS)))) Napsal, p ostahoval, přeložil, sestavil: MAREK AMBROŽ L.P. 2014 - 2 - Úvodem Důvod ů k sestavení tohoto textu bylo n ěkolik. V česky psaných pramenech jsem o sout ěži lehkých letadel v Lympne nenašel žádnou zmínku a dle mého názoru se jednalo o jednu z důležitých událostí, která udala správný sm ěr vývoji sportovního letectví ve sv ětě. Dalším je možnost uspo řádat modelá řskou sout ěž na základ ě skutečných historických událostí a hlavn ě všechna letadla, která se ú častnila závodu, jsou zajímavá a jednoduše modelá řsky zpracovatelná. No a taky jsem cht ěl trošku rozší řit obzory koleg ů modelá řů v oblasti letecké historie. Trocha historie snad nezabije, ale ur čit ě pou čí Zdroj: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lympne_light_aircraft_trials (volný p řeklad, dopln ěné fotografie) Sout ěž se konala v letech 1923, 24 a 26 ve Velké Británii, ve m ěst ě Lympne, hrabství Kent. Celý podnik vznikl jako podpora vývoje lehkých letadel pro soukromé uživatele. Především se zde kladl velký d ůraz na ekonomiku provozu, nízké po řizovací náklady a hlavn ě malou spot řebu paliva. Pro každý rok byly stanoveny r ůzné podmínky sout ěže jako t řeba objem motoru, po čet míst pro posádku a vzletová hmotnost. Ceny pro vít ěze ve form ě finan čního daru v ěnovali p ředevším list The Daily Mail, dále Hrab ě ze Sutherlandu a v roce 1924 i britské Ministerstvo letectví. Okolnosti vzniku sout ěže Základy byly položeny po 1. Sv ětové válce. -

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. -
