Meeting attendance was more or lessback to normal with 25 present, (28 if weinclude the 3 Rescue Randy dummiesseated right up front). Visitors indudedDan Lloyd and Dad Tim Eriksen, alsoAnthony Ferrario who fell asleep beforehe had a chance to display his rubberstick model in the Show & Tell session.

Maybe next time we will move the S & Tearlier in the evening. Tim Eriksen joinedSAM 27 later in the meeting. Tim is ac10ckmaker from Novato and has justrecently got into modeling (see S & Tlater herein). Welcome Tim, we hopeyou and Dan become regular attendees.It turned out that Dan was a fom:er

student of Rocco Ferrario and they hadn'tseen each other for several years. Alsoattending were Stu Bennett of theOakland Cloud Dusters, NFFS/SAM 27'sFred Terzian and Bill Vanderbeek who

never come empty handed, but alwayswith raffle goodies. Thanks fellows!!

OLD BUSINESS

Crash & Bash

CD Ed Hamler reported on the verysuccessful 19th Annual Crash & Bash

held two weeks prior at the SchmidtRanch in Elk Grove. The weather was

PERFECT and good thermals for thosesmart or lucky enough to pick the righttime and place. There were 48contestants, only 3 less than last year,

which was an all time record. Event

entries totaled 151 and 374 flights wereposted. Eut Tileston was the winner ofthe 1995 Hooks Memorial SweepstakesTrophy. The CD recorded 3 Crashes, 1Bash and 2 Flyaways. The spectacularBash belonged to Eut Tileston with hisClass A Weathers Westerner which,

during climb out in the f1yoff of theAntique event, shed the wing and part ofthe cabin disabling the engine shutoffresulting in a power dive to the side of theroad just beyond the Schmidt Ranch. Nota pretty sight. Our condolences to Eut.One of the f1yaways was Don Bekins'Ramrod which he launched without the

Rx being on. The FF climb out went toan estimated 2000' followed by a perfecttransition to a large circle driftingdownwind. The model was later found

with only minor damage.

SAM 27, All of the contestants, and otherattendees thank Loren and Miriam for

their legendary hospitality, the fantasticFriday and Saturday dinners and themanicured grounds and flying area. Aspecial thanks to Mary Hamler and theother ladies who, with Miriam, efficiently

and graciously ran the food service. Ohyes, we can't forget the expert hamburgerflippers, Rocco and Rod. And last but notleast our unflappable Contest Director EdHamler who is one of the most organizedpersons on the face of the earth.

To show our appreciation to Loren andMiriam, Mary and Ed Hamler suggestedthe Club authorize the purchase of anadditional industrial size chafing dish anda new electric roaster (all of the meetshosted have just about done in the oldone). This proposal met with unanimousapproval. The presentation will be madeduring the John Pond Commemorative onOct. 21-22. Prez Rod proposed making asmall floral gift to each of the ladies whocontributed so much. This was approved;Rod will take care of this.

The Raffle Grand Prize, An Airtronicsradio with light weight Rx and servos waswon by SAM 51's Ed Raubach, (OrrGlider specialist). There were about 30

Antique FlyerNovember 1995

Rick Madden showed his new field boxmade from a combination stool/toolbox

purchased at Orchard Supply. Rick hasmodified it to include provisions for a 12 vbattery, tool and part storage, and anelectric panel.

Don Bekins showed a Weathers Westerner

he had purchased by mail in an estate saleby a Canadian SAM Chapter.Unfortunately it was only after receiving themodel that Don discovered it was built to

7/8 original size preventing its entry in thePure Antique event, and limiting it to ClassC OfT. Don recovered the fuselage withSAMSpan to improve rigidity and made anew fiberglass cowl using the balloonmethod (Don says this method needs morethan two hands). The 40 glow engine wasreplaced by an Ohlsson Sideport and Donreports it is a very good flyer.

Messerschmitt Me-17 made from Model

Builder plans as was Ken Low's which tookfirst place in the 1/2 A Scale Texaco eventat the recent SAMChamps. The original1925 full size aircraft crashed into a tree

during takeoff, apparently due to the lack offOlWard visibility. Ray says the model wasvery difficult to fly until he added about 1/4in. washout to the outer wing panels. Rayalso showed how he had modified the

battery tray for one of his transmitters topermit the use of 1800 mah cells whichgives him practically all day use withoutrecharging. This is particularly useful when

Stu Bennett showed two P-30 models. one Tx is used for several models. Also

One was the seventh of a series, several of shown was a quick charger for field usewhich were lost in spite of having DfT'd with Rx and Tx batteries. It is named theproperly. Stu decided that the usual pop- "Smart Charger" and is manufactured byup stabilizer OfT was not sufficiently an outfit called Sirius. It sells for $107 butreliable in strong thermals so his latest apparently is only available at large meets,model features a trailing edge pop-up of trade shows and by mail order. Check withthe main wing placing it at 45 deg. negative Ray if you are interested. The unit isincidence. Stu says the resu" is claimed to safely charge batteries inspectacular and a pleasure to behold. The minutes and greatly increase cell life.model goes into a 1/2 outside loop, ~transitioning to an inverted flat spin andthen to a 1/2 inside loop, repeating theprocess on the way down. It is claimedthat this beats most thermals and has

resulted in no model damage to date.Maybe someone will videotape thisperformance. Also shown was a nicelyframed P-30 which had started as a

Campbell Sou per 30 but which Studrastically modified. The sheet cabin waschanged to built-up construction, savingweight. The rear of the fuselage wastapered to reduce tail weight and allow ashorter nose moment by moving the wingforward, and the fuselage cross memberswere changed to diagonals resulting in avery rigid structure. Wing modificationsinclude a change to polyhedral and anundercambered airfoil. All the model

needs is covering to make it ready for theNov. 5 Meet at Waegell.

Fred Terzian passed around a souvenirbook containing many photos and resultsof a 1949/1950 Meet at Dallas, TX. Also acopy of the 1993 NFFS Year Book whichfeatured many color photos of models andcontestants.

Collectors Journal. Thanks Bill! Alsoshown was a 1/2 size Drone Diesel

purchased at the SAMChamps Collecto.The .037ci engine is manufactured by ArneHende of Sweden and is said to turn a 6x3

prop at 8700 rpm.

Vice President: Pete Samuelsen

1996 Officer Nominations Ed Hamler

reported that in the past certain Clubmembers got together during the Crash &Bash to elect new officers. Thenominations were made and the election

held while the nominees were flying. Thenewly elected officers were notified uponlanding. The last couple of years thissneaky procedure has been replaced bynominations and election during a regularmeeting. The Officers for 1996 are:

Secty.fTreas: John Carlson (nobody elsewants the job)

SHOW & TELL

Club Name John Hlebcar noted that SAM27 had no distinctive name other than

"Northern California Chapter". John hadread a book about a group of VWV2German Me 109 pilots who had formed tofly replica/ restored Me 109's for fun and inair shows. They had selected the name of"Gray Eagles" and John thought this mightbe appropriate for consideration by SAM27. Pete Samuelsen suggested "BaldEagles" might be equally appropriate. Itwas agreed we should have a contest toselect a name. More discussion next

meeting, but in the meantime think aboutsuggestions.

President (again): Rod Persons

could be made at the November Meeting.

(Don made some minor ignitionmodifications and test flew it on Saturday,Oct. 21 during the John PondCommemorative Meet at the Schmidt

Ranch. Don was super enthused about itsperformance, his only complaint being lackof visibility at altitude.)

Bill Vanderbeek showed a product herecommends for DfT lines and pull-pullapplications. The very flexible and lowfriction line is made of nylon coated,braided stainless steel strands and was

originally intended for stringing beads. It isavailable in 7 str. (.018" dia.) and 3 str.(.015" dia.) at shops specializing in beads.Bill donated a spool of this line to the raffle

as well as a many-drawered plasticfield/parts/tool box and an Engine

World Champ Dick O'Brien showed the 1/2A Anderson Pylon he flew to first place inSAM 27's winning team in the recent postalmeet. The model was up for total of 51min. in two flights. Dick credits thecoaching of Don Bekins and theencOuragement of the others present. Hesays Don taught him the benefits of flyingon trim only.

Rav Me Gowan displayed his 1/2 A

Tim Eriksen displayed a partially

completed, self-designed, scratch built,approximately 6' span, 40 R/C sport model,his entry (or re-entry?) to modeling. Hisbeautiful workmanship is probably a resultof his c10ckmaking background. Tim willsoon be looking for a test pilotlinstructor.
