VICTORIA v. SOUTH AUSTRALIA
When the Trans Tasman event fell apart, due
to New Zealand being unable to assemble a
team, we agreed to still travel to South Australia and enjoy a competition with SA modellers
at their Constellation field north of Adelaide.
David Law was unable to make the trip but
Noel Whitehead, Gary Sunderland and myself
were joined by Trevor Pugh to form a four man
Victorian team.
Noel and I travelled together on Friday aided by
one of those new fangled GPS road guides to
steer us through Adelaide. The GPS worked
well in Adelaide but was confounded by the
new Western Bypass road. As we left Melbourne, it kept telling us to turn at various
roundabouts, to slow down for school crossings, and was generally intent on getting us
back onto the old Ballarat road. Technology is
great but when it’s not up to date it can be confusing and, like many things these days, when
you buy an article you also incur an ongoing
expense to maintain its viability. We also debated whether our generation will probably be
the last to be able to read a road map or street
directory!
Our trip was uneventful and we negotiated
Adelaide without the GPS spitting the dummy
(nothing changes much in Adelaide). Our accommodation was at a caravan and camping
park on the North side not too far from the field
and proved to be quite comfortable with two
bedrooms and a lounge/kitchen area. The unit
was on the main entrance road and did not
have parking facilities for both car and trailer
however we managed to park the trailer in a
dead end road behind the unit and, with the use
of a powerboard, tapped into the hot water
power outlet to charge our gear. It was all easy
and simple and we had a nice little pub about
1k down the road to keep us fed and watered.
The Constellation Field is on the waterfront of
the gulf about 20k’s north of the city and as we
approached along a dirt road we were confronted by many signs stating that we were
being watched and would be summoned if we
tried to dump rubbish in the area. Obviously noone takes any notice of the signs as there was
a constant stream of big plastic bags and other
unwanted rubbish along both sides of the road!
We gave some thought to a Melbourne equivalent of the area but could not quite match it to
anything here.
The field itself is excellent with a large wellgrassed expanse on one side, which allowed
for flight in any direction to suit wind conditions
of the day, and plenty of space on the other
three sides for any type of flying. They have
shade covers over the pits, a comfortable clubhouse, toilet facilities, plenty of parking adjacent to the pits and the usual equipment sheds,
etc. All in all it is a very nice facility.
Saturday was a nice sunny day with a steady
but not too strong sea breeze. The local members turned out in strength with a good range
of scale aircraft and we enjoyed a busy day of
flying. Noel flew his RV-4, Trevor his Adam
500, Gary flew his Fokker DVII and I had my
Marathon cum Extra 300.

President’s Report
Hi All,
Well we all have another year almost under
our belts with Christmas just around the
corner.
I have spent most of my modeling time this year on my Pitts S2-A
that I am building although like most scale models, I just can’t see
where the hours have gone. As much as I am pleased with the results I am getting, I need to be careful that the pursuit of the perfect model doesn’t stop me from getting it in the air.
I hope Santa is kind to all of you and your families .To all members,
have a great Christmas / New Year, and rest up ready for a big
year of scale and scale competitions in 2010. Thanks for your support in ’09 and if I don’t see you at the meeting I will see you next
year.
David.
Our competitions this year have been great considering the unusual weather patterns we seem to be encountering. I am not sure
if this year has been nearly normal weather and I have forgotten
what it is like or if in actual fact the current weather conditions are
a sign of how it will be in the future. I suppose all we can do is just
keep turning up on the day and hope for the best.
From the Editors.
Following on from Clive Butler’s writing on the new ‘Giant’ model
inspection procedure in the last newsletter I note that the large B17 built in Queensland was lost at the recent Temora event.
From photos published on the web it can be seen that the model
suffered a major failure of the tailplane structure leading to an uncontrolled crash.
In this case, regardless of control separation, redundancy systems
and failsafe setups, the aircraft was totally out of control and could
have created a major incident if the crash had caused property
damage or personal injury.
It’s not the first “Giant’ model to crash and most will have seen the
B-52 crash in the UK, shown widely on YouTube. It certainly won’t
be the last if these models continue to be accepted and I for one
would not like to have my name on the ‘Permit to Fly’ for any of
these models.
I have made the comment before and repeat again - “There are
very few people, if any, in Australian aeromodelling with the technical background to be able to say with certainty that these very
large models are structurally sound.” - and that applies equally to
own designs, models built from commercial plans and ARF’s.
These models are usually built for the express purpose of display
flying and when they are flown before large crowds we are taking
an unacceptable risk with the bureaucratic and public perception of
our hobby.
The cause of the failure can be speculated on and may have been
the result of elevator flutter or a design fault in the tailplane structure. Either way it demonstrates the inherent risk in the acceptance
of these large aircraft despite the inspection procedures recently
introduced by the MAAA.
NOTE: We still have a few members who have not renewed for
2009-2010. I have included another copy of the Membership Renewal Form for your use. If you are unsure whether you have renewed please contact the Treasurer.

It was good to see that scale modelling is building up again in SA
after some quiet years and we should see more of the SA modellers at future scale events.
VICTORIA
N. WHITEHEAD
Sunday was the competition day and we brought out the scale
models for this event. Noel flew his Boomerang, Gary flew his
PfalzDXII, I flew my Spacewalker and Trevor again used his Adam
500. Gary made a good comeback for this event as he had an
unfortunate accident with the Pfalz on Friday when he trod on the
tailplane while retrieving the model after it overturned. The tail was
cracked at the root but a liberal splash of glue on Saturday night
saw it right and ready to fly again on Sunday.
As the South Australians had five wanting to fly we acquired a de
facto Victorian in Steve Barker from their ranks to make up our
numbers and combat commenced.
The competition was a success with most completing their two
flights. The large Stearman and Thunderbolt of the SA team certainly had a great presence in the air and were very well flown. A
few contestants had the odd problem but overall we were quite
impressed with the standard of the SA models and the enthusiasm
of the SA scale modellers.
We discussed future opportunities for competition and invited the
SA modellers to attend our Trophy event next June, an offer which
was greeted with enthusiasm by the South Aussies.

It was a good trip and worth the long drive to re-establish contact
with fellow scale modellers in our adjacent state.
After packing our trailer, we left on Monday morning. The GPS did
the job getting back onto the highway and from there it was a comfortable trip back to Melbourne.

TEMORA SCALE 2009
(Tony Grieger)
On the three days preceding the event the weather was nice and
calm, but lo and behold, on the evening of the 5th, a vicious wind
came which was to cause havoc for the first two days of the event.
At 1000 on Friday morning static judging got underway but the
situation overall did not look good as two windsocks showed a
steady full 90° crosswind of howling strength. The scoreboard
showed 52 entrants but in the end only 45 flew. The CD, John
Rolfe, was seen to rub his hands together and pronounce that he
wanted all models to complete four rounds; a tall order. Competitors entered either Expert, Masters, Flying Only, Team or Jet,
classes.
The bitumen runway immediately in front of the museum was the
flightline. Much of the time two sets of two flight judges, five metres
apart, was used. On one of the first flights, Peter Goff flying a P-47
was flying along the flightline when a loud bang was heard. On
landing it was found that his wooden prop had shed a blade. Dave
Brown flying a Grumman “Panther” was the first jet to fly and was
having difficulty handling the conditions. A Spacewalker performing
a loop almost made his loop too large. Mike Farnan’s first flight with
his A-20G “Boston” in Team Scale was good but landed with the
undercarriage retracted, scraping the fuselage badly on the bitumen. Both 3-bladed props were destroyed. The model is powered
by two OS “Sirius” radials. According to Mark Collins a faulty piston
was to blame. A Heinkel 51 went forward onto its nose on its first
attempted take off, restarted, then flipped over when landing. A
wheel pant had badly scraped the tarmac and broke the fairing on
the undercarriage leg and the corresponding interplane strut.
On Saturday the weather conditions were similar. A third scale
Sopwith “Tripe” of Robert Zyp landed hard damaging the undercarriage and flipped over also causing wing/interplane damage. The
wind direction required a WW1 model to land towards the Museum/
spectators. Ken Lawson of Launceston, was flying a third scale,
38kg La-9, powered by a DA170. It had a surprisingly low landing
speed. A super monster B-17 of Stephen Thomas had been doing
several engine run-ups since the event began when at 1100 on
the second day it was its turn to fly.
page 6
On take off it turned inwards of the flightline breaching safety according to the CD, John Rolfe. The model corrected, flew 3 circuits
then when approaching the judges position it suffered tail flutter
and half the stab came off. Several other parts also jettisoned. The
model fortunately then turned away from the flightline and soon
went into a spiral dive at some height from which its demise was
obvious. Flying proceedings halted during the extensive clean-up.
Afterwards in an excellent show of good sportsmanship the pilot
went to the PA system and asked — “Anyone got any Zap?”
Clive Butler’s “Zero” was rich on take off and threatening to stall but
once into the circuit the motor opened up. It hammered along but
flew the entire flight with the undercarriage down. He landed long
and the undercarriage collapsed and one wingtip was broken.
The triplane flew again but near the end of its flight the motor
stopped and the model flipped over on landing off the runway on
grass. On Anthony Ogle’s second flight the P-47 lost its canopy.
Several models appeared to make satisfactory landings until falling
foul of full size runway markers. These were hard plastic of conical
shape approximately one metre across and protruding sufficiently
above ground to pose a serious hazard to even the largest of models. Often the contact was quite audible. Mike Farnan’s second
flight was very good.
Slower aircraft types were generally successful taking off on a
45degree angle to the runway but John Kastelan’s Fokker D.7
quarter scale was an exception. The Beech “Staggerwing” of Mark
Collins flew solidly but landed long, off the runway onto grass with
Scale News
the undercarriage up. This was conducted well with minimal scraping.
Several jets were very competently flown. One was a small red
Mig-15 by Chris Paterson. Peter Agnew had a dark blue Grumman F9F “Cougar” and David Gladwin flew a large beautifully presented RAF BAe “Hawk”. Dave Brown however crashed on his
second landing. John Kinnane flew his Pitts S2 very well. A large
P-51 “Mustang” in a sky blue/silver colour scheme was nice to
watch; the pilot, Richard Symes receiving a hug from his female
partner each time he landed.
Ross Smith, a newcomer to scale competition was flying his 30%
Balsa USA Super Stearman. It weighs 23.5kgs and is powered
with a ZDZ160. It also uses diesel to fuel a smoke system which
gives the large model great atmosphere in flight.
Austars Models donated a 95” Beaver and a SPE26 petrol motor
for a raffle which was advertised the three days.
On Sunday morning most competitors had their models ready at
around 0830 while the flying recommenced just after 0900. The
wind was still blowing at 90degrees but the strength was much
reduced. The big metallic Cessna “Birddog” of Darren Smith had a
good first flight. Ken’s La9 was sounding awesomely powerful. It
also flew well but this time on landing there was another loud
“whack” when it made contact with a runway marker this time removing the whole left wheel and strut. An Extra 330 by Jason
Starkey was another to give a flight demonstration with smoke.
Taking advantage of the improved wind conditions, David Balfour
flying with his Curtiss “Robin” now elected to take off and land parallel to the judges but on the grass on the near side of the sealed
runway. Although the grass was rough compared to a model flying
runway, he made it look quite straight forward. A SR-9 Stinson
“Reliant” was flown well by Bill Mansell. The big Stearman followed the Curtiss Robin’s example, also successfully. Greg Tracey
flying a P-47 flew half a flight with his wheels down but landed
safely.
Scale News
A nice Hawker “Sea Fury” was flown by Peter Love. Byam Wight of
Canberra had a P-47. Chris Henry flew a Spitfire XV1, Peter Gow,
a “Corsair”, and a P-38 was flown by Simon Press. Don Murray
flew his venerable “Dauntless”.
At 1100 the wind finally swung to alongside the runway. Mark
Collins’ Beech with a DZY sounded nicely grunty without being too
loud. Previously in the event, engine noise for most models wasn’t
obvious with the howling wind blowing from behind the pit/spectator
area. Anthony Ogle had more trouble with his P-47 when this time
his engine stopped while in flight. He landed long, very long, trying
to wash off speed and made a gentle touchdown only to become
another casualty of the runway markers. His model appeared
badly damaged on return. Next flight of the L-19 “Birddog” of Darren Smith was now flying in calm conditions but suddenly appeared
to experience radio problems. After some antics it dived from quite
a height and Darren regained control just in time. He then brought
the model back. As it approached the judges line flying straight and
level the Birddog turned outward and went into a terminal spiral
dive. Alf Williams’ (Hawker Typhoon ) flew most of his round with
the wheels down. He elected to land on grass which was just as
well as when he did, his retracts failed.
The event closed around 1430. with Team and Flying Only classes
not completing their 4th round.
The PA system announcer was the same as used for the full size
aircraft displays. Prizes included nicely engraved plaques with
aircraft motifs, engraved glasses, Zenoah 20s, an Austars Cessna
152 ARF, Spectrum 7 radio and Mike Farnan presented two of the
new Hitec Aurora 9ch 2.4 radios. Half the competitors used 2.4
radios while the other half used 36MHZ.

BALLARAT ANNUAL ARF SCALE COMPETITION 2009.
Another early start saw us on the way to Ballarat for their Annual
ARF Scale event. It didn’t look promising as we headed west and
sure enough it was blowing hard when we arrived at the field and
despite some sunshine the south wind was freezing as we huddled
around the stove in the clubhouse preparing entries and flying
schedules.
Despite the cold and strong wind there was no doubt that everyone
intended to fly although we didn’t really know what to expect when
airborne. As it turned out we were fine once into the sky but taking
off and landing was something else again. It became a case of
dashing out when called, flying and then dashing back to warm up
again. The judges displayed great strength of character in sitting
huddled up in heavy coats and rugs enduring the cold. I think they
reached a stage where they couldn’t feel any colder and just sat
there in a semi petrified state.

Now that the trees have gone the field looks quite different and you
could expect better flying conditions but the 1m high canola crop
surrounding the two strips and extending over the rest of the paddock still produced a lot of turbulence close to the ground and
some of the takeoffs and landings were very interesting. My first
flight saw my Yak roll left to the vertical then right, left and back to
level all in the height of four or five metres but miraculously we
didn’t have one incident and the only damage for the day was to
Roger Carrigg’s Stearman which damaged the rudder when it
tipped over in a wind gust after landing. Roger later reported that
the wind strength during the day was 40k/hr gusting to 59k/hr, it
was certainly the strongest wind I’ve ever flown in and I’m sure that
it was only the fact that we were flying ARF’s, with no great feeling
of attachment to the model, that allowed us to continue.
The three placegetters each received a trophy and all competitors
were presented with a very useful toolbox containing several useable items of modelling gear. Considering the conditions it was a
fairly successful day and we look forward to returning next year.

SPORTSCALE at the STATE FIELD
What a magnificent day!
Left home in dead calm and arrived at the State Field in a strong
northerly - it looked like yet another event blown away at Darra
weit Guim.
It was hot and windy but everyone decide to fly so away we went ,
and as the day moved on the weather got better and better until, by
early afternoon, we were flying in ideal conditions.
A lot of time was spent in the cool comfort of the NFG clubhouse
with a dash to the flightline and back again—not unlike the Ballarat
event but with heat and cold reversed.
We had a good day and Brian Whellan finally got to fly a jet when
he had his new model checked out by David Law. It flew well and
we look forward to seeing Brian’s F-86 take to the air sometime in
the future.

SCALE RALLY at P&DARCS
Just as the weather is often unkind at the State Field so it is usually
excellent when we go to P&DARCS. This day was another beauty
but, while the attendance was not too bad both from our members
and the P&DACS flyers, when you consider the great conditions
and excellent venue it could be expected that more might attend.
Still, those that did come had a good time and we saw a few new
models flying very successfully. Mark Collins brought his Hughes
Racer and Beech Staggerwing with both giving a fine display. Giorgio Valcastelli flew his very nice DC-3 and later in the day made his
first test flight with his new Macchi 205. The Macchi has had an
engine change, the original RCV motor being replaced by a Saito,
and it flew very well with little trimming required — Giorgio was well
pleased with its performance.
Steve Malcman had a mixed day with his Extra as the engine did
not want to perform and Anthony Mott made a stopover on his way
back from Philip Island to fly his Turbulent. Tony (‘the tugger’)
Grieger enjoyed a number of flights with his big Gee Bee and no
further signs of failure in the undercarriage legs so his repair work
held up well. Steve Ludlow made the trip from Rosebud to fly his
new Black Widow and Gary Sunderland had a good day with his
FE8 and Fokker DVII.
Lew Rodman brought a small Sopwith Pup and new member Darren Smith flew a large Bird Dog. Darren also had his part built DH
Caribou on show, it’s going to be a very big aircraft when finished
and will almost certainly fall into the “Giant” class. I hope that that
the build goes well but my reservations with these big models grow
every time I see one in progress.
Pitts as did Brian Evans with his Thunderbolt, Peter Rady with his
Mustang and Allan Holloway with his Bowers Flybaby and PT-19.
Ian and I had a Yak 54 and Spacewalker to play with.
