Cloud Tramp

På lördagskvällen gick tiomodellflygplan till väders vidBrandholmen i Nyköping. Det var Oldtimer-modellflygklubben Kondoren som tillsammans med Nyköpings modellflygklubb skickade iväg sina modeller för att hylla amerikanen Charles Hampson Grant. Grant är modellflyghobbyns upphovsman. Vid 14 års ålder började han konstruera och bygga och flyga modeller. Året var 1908. Hyllningen genomfördes i flera länder. – Det är nära nog en högtidlig känsla som infinner sig när man betänker att just nu flyger likasinnade i många olika länder förklarar Bengt Höglund i Kondoren. Vid en liknande manifestation förra året deltog elva modellflygare i Nyköping och sammanlagt 315 deltagare från cirka 15 länder. Det som kunde störa flygningen var dåligt väder och Oldtimer-flygklubben hade förberett sig med ett partytält. – När klockan närmade sig start intog deltagarna sina startpositioner, då i kraftigt regn och stark vind, men vi trotsade vädret och när startsignalen ljöd lyfte alla modellerna samtidigt mot himlen, berättar Bengt Höglund. Det spelar i det här sammanhanget ingen roll hur man flyger, huvudsaken är att man flyger. Flygplansmodellen är en välflygande gummimotordriven stavmodell som konstruerades och döptes till Cloud Tramp av Grant. Den ursprungliga modellflygklubben Kondoren bildades hösten 1935 i Nyköping på initiativ av doktor Otto Brundin. Den första oktober 1993 bildades en Oldtimer-modellklubb på initiativ av Arne Andersson och Per-Olov Rudolfsson. Klubbens namn blev Kondoren enligt det ursprungliga namnet. Syftet med klubben är att främja och utveckla intresset för oldtimerflyg i Nyköping med omnejd. Klubben har ett tiotal medlemmar.

Senator Postal competition 2005/6

 

To: All contestants and Supporters 
I am happy to forward the results, etc. of the Senator Postal competition 2005/6, and to thank you most sincerely for your participation and/or financial support. 
To those concerned - money orders will be airmailed out to you during the course of next week, and so should be in your hands before the end of the month - congratulations!I will be following this up, within the next day or so, with the details of the 2006/7 event, which will commence February 1st and close
January 21st. 2007, with much the same format as before. I hope that you will all participate once again in the forthcoming competition, and perhaps
encourage others to join us. Again.. my thanks to all - and may you enjoy good flying throughout this year, no matter what your interests may be. 
 
Jim Moseley

KeilKraft  “Senator”  Postal Results  2005/6

 

Gentlemen,

 

My sincere thanks for taking part in this postal event, for which many of you specifically built a model.   It is very obvious that this design is now being flown to performance levels which the designer, Albert Hatfull, probably never expected and which would be most pleasing to him; unfortunately he now suffers from Alzheimers and, sadly, would have no awareness of such.

 

Dennis Davitt –  long known in the UK for his ability with this design - is to be congratulated for his outstanding flight total.  Dennis and, indeed, his timekeepers were clubmates of mine during my ‘previous life’ in England  and it was pleasing to see the names on his scoresheet.

 

My special thanks go to those who so generously offered financial support to back up my initial commitment to a 1st. prize, which have eventually enabled a range of enhanced awards to the first three places and also to the ‘middle man’.   The total sum to hand was converted  to the appropriate currencies at the exchange rate established on January 2nd and is allocated as shown beside the scores.

 

In the early months of 2005 I heard of a great many plans being distributed, traded, sold or downloaded -  as well as ‘short’ kits purchased - throughout many parts of the world,  to an extent far exceeding the number of models actually flown.   I had originally envisaged this Postal as a ‘one-off’ event but even now I am being informed of Senators  that were prematurely lost, unflown or even still under construction. 

 

 Thus it appears that the possibility  of running this contest for at least one more year is viable and, with your continued support, we may have a further increase in participants . I cannot, of course, guarantee any level of prizes but I will, once again, put an initial $100.00 into the ‘pot’ as an award to the winner … and happily accept any donations to expand the prizelist further.

 

The format of the contest appears to be practical and the year-round ‘window’ has enabled people in both hemispheres (and seven countries) opportunities to fly in favourable conditions. Therefore, the rules for 2006/7 will remain much as before, other than that the event will commence on February 1st 2006, and close January 31st 2007.  I look forward to receiving your scores during this period, hope that you will attract other people to build and/or take part in this unique event … and wish you much enjoyable flying throughout the year in any branch of modelling that you follow. 

Thanks again! 

Jim Moseley

 Ron Hummel, USA : -  I finally have the results for you for my Senator flights:

     July 16th, one flight of 120 seconds and second flight of 120 seconds 

    December 10th, one flight of 120 seconds, my last max, and 91 seconds for my fly off (fourth flight).

………………………………………………………                           

 

Dennis Davitt, UK :-   3 flights of over 2 min and one over 3 mins already accepted by Jim Mos.

    All the following flights were made at Church Fenton on  9th July 2005 :-

 

Over 4 mins, witnessed by J.Godden and G.Warburton.  I had been waiting for a good day for months,              this day had light breeze and strong thermals. This flight DT’d down at over 7 mins, a real neck strainer.

Over 5 mins, witnessed by T. Hargreaves and J. Godden.  This flight was alright in that it DTd’ down, but it looked like it was going behind a big hangar, and only moved into the clear in the last minute. It got quite high again, but came down quicker than the previous flight.

Going for over 6 mins. After a long wait, the air seemed less positive, but it was now or never. The model climbed to a respectable height, but not as high as previously, and it became obvious that the really strong lift needed for 6 mins  was just no longer there. This flight was 3min 39sec, witnessed by J.Northrop and J. Godden

………………………………………………………. 

Roland Frid, Sweden:-    Here is my results, unfortunately has the autumn been very windy, and the field I΄m using is not large enough for flights longer than 2,5 min.

………………………………………………………..

Grant Carson, USA :-   I lost my Senator through stupidity, forgetting to light the fuse; the DT  - a tip-up tail- possibly wouldn’t have worked, anyway, for repetitive flights because of problems with the hinge

(Grant has since built another Senator, this time with pop-up wing DT – JM)

………………………………………………………

Tony Taylor, NZ   - may have been the first to record a score, on January 3rd.  He did two easy
maxes then changed the motor and, of course, it bunched at the rear and stalled all the way down. He thinks it may have been a slightly longer motor. The dreaded bunch!!.

……………………………………………………..

Daniele Vescovi, Italy :-   unfortunately, my trials with the Senator stopped in October after the first 2/3 (ca.600 turns) charge flights. I happened to have again a problem on my right hip articulation: no more long recoveries at least for this year.  I should like to appear as competitor, so I send you anyhow the fortunately registered scores of the 3 last trial flights.

   Date: 22 October 05.  Valle Gaffaro airfield. Timekeeper : Mario Rocca  (the 1979 F1C Worldchampion: do you remember ?) No wind, cloudy sky, a little mist. Scores:   106"       120"       115" *      * landed on a 10 mt. tree:  2 hours for this hard recovery with the help of Mario. Model almost intact, but the afternoon was over...     My  Senator weight 86 grams with a motor of 12 strands 1/8" rubber,  62 cm long.  The model is very good, reliable and easy to trim.  The climb is spectacular: with a decent charge I think easy to achieve regular 150" flights without thermals.

…………………………………………………………….

 

Howard Gostelow, Australia :-  Hi Jim, packed the car Sat. night, got up at 4am, nice fine morning, but not light 'till 5am,drove the 2hours to our flying site at Coominia, that is about 80km north west of Brisbane.  

Hit the field at 6am, set up and put 500 turns on the red and black Senator to check trim.   All looked okay,no drift, very dead air and about 25c.   Still on my own so put Senator into the stooge and gave it 1000 turns, had the timer set for 120plus and launched.  Hit the stop watch button the watch on my wrist, and D/T at 120plus.    Did this 3 times in total, so time to get serious.    Wound same motor to 1200 turns with 180plus on the timer and launched.   Whew---did 183 to the ground.   Keep in mind l am timing myself, so probably losing a second or two from launch to hitting the go button on the wrist.      Checked the motor and it had one strand broken, so put in a new Tan2 one.     Into the stooge and getting very tight at 1000 turns.   l used a blast tube all the way but this motor l felt was at the limit, so hooked up the prop and launched.   You should see it go---man O man, must have got 1000 feet, and l thought 240 here we come, but NO, it must have been in the BIGGEST downer of all time and did 146.  What a bummer!
