Our team flies right at 3:00 from 22' in practice. At the San Diego regionals, with slightly turbulent air, they won with a time of 2:40 from 20'.

I was contacted by a student from Port Washington, NY who would like to practice Wright Stuff in a gym. His high school gym is not available. Does anyone know of another SO team in the area that would allow him to practice Wright Stuff with them? Please PM me if you have any information. Thank you. ...

Don and Joseph,

nxtscholar, For the world championship in 2016 (regardless of exact date), a junior competitor must turn 18 in 2016 (regardless of exact date) or later. calgoddard, The CG can be flown from 84% to 90%. The students should start at 84%. The CG is achieved using ballast. Down thrust of 1 deg and left ...

More progress has been made with the construction document, and many more photos have been uploaded. There are also a number of continuing posts on how to fly the F1D. I believe we will field a full junior team for the 2016 world championship in Romania. https://nffsblog.wordpress.com/2015/06/14/f1d...

One reason that very few home-made props were used this year is that there is very little advantage. It's not that the students don't have the skills. Removing restrictions from the propeller doesn't mean that everyone will use VP's. Same that many competitors used the stock non-flaring propellers o...

Take a look and let me know what you think. All suggestions welcome.

In my humble opinion, I think many of the SO competitors are ready for a next challenge: the use of variable pitch propeller (VP). The design, construction, and operation of the VP is a great engineering challenge. It's perfect for the low-ceiling flying encountered by most students in their gyms. Y...

So far, I have heard from 6 of you who are interested. I'm working to get you started. Stay tuned.
