The prez sez Junior / Junior = under 18 Junior = 18 to 60 Senior = 60 to 80 Senior / Senior = 80+ Club perceived age / knowledge Once again December and Christmas will soon be with us, a great time for family festivities, holidays and of course model flying. Lets hope that this Christmas we get the good wind free summer days. Its about this time of year that I have a year round up and I am pleased to say that everything is going well, we have new members, the fields are in great condition as are the fences, competitions are being held via the various disciplines, the ride on mower and Graham Moffatt our mower man are doing a fantastic job of keeping the power patch in pristine condition, trainer planes are in place and available to any new learners or indeed any member wishing to try RC power, we have revamped our instructor and examiner team for wings badges (as previously published) the toilet is in place and in use, and our finances are in good condition., extra seats from the old AMI stadium have been purchased (waiting for confirmation of pick up) All in all the club is flying along nicely (excuse the pun), but of course more new members are always welcome and ideas from our members will always be considered. I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a great new Year Happy Flying Grahame Hart Preliminary Notice of the 2018 Annual General Meeting To be held on Tuesday 6th march 2018 Condell avenue cricket club rooms 1930hrs Please give thoughts to remits, new committee members or any thing that you would like discussed Potential fire warning As you are aware it is predicted to be a very dry summer so with that our fire danger goes up so please be very careful when using the field. Give thought to carrying fire fighting equipment with you just in case WARning To all free flighters retrieving models Please make sure you are safe around the rc strip when retrieving your model by getting clearance from the rc officer. We have had a couple of arrivals which could have been damaging to your health if you were not being aware of what is in the air and about to hit you as it struggles with gravity due pilot error or equipment failure, so be aware. 2
Minutes of CMAC committee meeting, Thursday 20 th September 2017, 6B Middlepark Road, Upper Riccarton, 7.30pm Present: Grahame Hart, Gary Burrows, Trevor Henderson, Ian Harvey, Stewart Morse, Bruce Weatherall; Apologies:. Mark Venter, Graham Moffatt and Paul Chisholm Minutes and notes of last meeting. Approved. Matters arising: Seats from the old Lancaster Park have been ordered and paid for but no notification of when and where to pick them up has been notified to Ian H. Correspondence In and Out: Emails between secretary and three new Christchurch City COuncilo members re there membership forms and organising obtaining their MR wings examinations and badges through Alex Hewson. Treasurer s report: Cheque account has $7,064.47 and savings $4,266.98. Treasurer has paid new members NZMAA affiliations and will be recompensed. Templeton hall hire paid also by Treasurer to CCC. Bill Long is hiring the hall privately to practice for international events. Section officers reports: R/C Power: Graham absent but reported by email that maiden flight of the new low wing trainer went well and is now available for general use. Thanks to Trevor for the aircraft and Graham Hart for the motor and setting the aircraft up in mode 1. Graham Moffatt to look into a more powerful electric fence. Free Flight: Pretty quiet but some flying a round of catapult glider and A1. Tomboy: A good contest recently with the good-guys failing and the others prevailing in a recent competition. Soaring: There was a moderate turnout for a recent aero tow outing and then quite a bit of practice for the recent soar champs in Hawkes bay. 5 South Islanders attended this 4 day event which was held in good conditions until the last day when it rained heavily as the handlaunch event was finishing. Paul Lagan attended and competed with distinction especially with his Radian. Dave Griffin, Scott Chisholm and Ian Harvey competed with varying success in this successful event. Pylon: Although numbers are diminished at the moment, pylon will remain active and mainly social. Torque and website: Torque going well. Some new photos required for the web site. AOB: Discussion re the recently re-convened MFNZ AGM, with satisfaction from the committee that the problems have largely been resolved, but at a considerable cost to the organisation. Discussion of the accuracy of the weather station with a conclusion that what is learned from ringing before proceeding to the field is different to what is experienced when one arrives. Noted that things can change in the time it takes to get there! Discussion on the possibility of having a couple of in-door meetings at Lincoln University Recreational Centre gymnasium. Ian H to maintain contact to ensure Tuesday night availability and costs. Discussion of progress on moving the fence out a bit to make the runway a little safer. Meeting closed at 8:38 with next meeting scheduled for 2 nd Thursday in February. 3
Allan Knox reports on his latest vintage model This one is for Vintage Rubber Texaco. A Senior Dart scaled up to 60 inches from the original 1937 24 inch little rubber model from Comet. Well I have my first Texaco Rubber score for the leader board. We had a calm evening here last night. Calm for us, it averaged 12 kph. The Senior Dart handled the conditions well and I even got to thermal it out on the last flight and it handled very well in the thermal turn and had plenty of penetration coming back from a long way down wind so the wing section has good speed range. Times are lower than I hoped but its early days. I have a better prop coming and the batteries were not topped up fully just before flight. The first flight was also a trimming flight so that cost a bit. All in all it is a pleasant and docile model to fly. Rudder response is fairly slow but the elevator is nice. I put in a 3 cell at the end of the session and flew around low and fast for a bit. Looked good and handled well with no hint of a tip stall. There is just a tad of washout in the tips. Flight 1, 8 mins 26 secs bonus 13 landing zero = 519 Flight 2, 9 mins 17 secs bonus 13 landing 20 = 590 Flight 3, 11 mins 55 secs bonus 13 landing 20 = 620 (Max) TOTAL = 1729 points Congratulations Allan on another fine model. Cheers Gary, its real test will come at the Nationals. It does look nice in the air and proves you can fly a low winger on rudder elevator as long there is generous dihedral. It really could do with ailerons though then it would be great fun to throw around. It does feel a little less stable than a high winger and takes a bit longer to straighten up if disturbed by turbulence. No hint of Dutch roll though under power which is nice. Landing is odd. Its so light that it just stops once the wheels touch. There is so little kinetic energy that just the grass friction pulls it up very rapidly. It is very like the Lancer in proportions and is the same size and I run the same 40% CG. The difference is the Lancer is nearly twice the weight so lands like a Sherman tank by comparison and charges on if landed hot. All in all it has been a fun build with a good outcome and best of all, I have a vintage model I like to look at. Allan Knox First contest at Levin for the Senior Dart Gentle conditions in the morning with some magic lift. It maxed the first 3 flights easily then went on to put in a fly off flight of 35 minutes 3 secs plus a spot and 13 age bonus.. Stew Cox timed for me and I must say he and another club mate kept pushing me on when I would have been happy coming home Total is 3996 points. (a brilliant score Allan OBGGGGG) 4
Photo by John O hara Junkers JU82B, with tail marking as used by the Italian air force (the white cross on the fin/rudder. The Italians only had that and sometimes a band around the rear fuselage with a number, or the number would be painted on the wheel spats. They called their Stukas the "Pichiatello" (which is variation on Pichiatta, a Italian aeronautical term for Dive, the pilots version is Mad or Barmy!!!!!) The plans (3 A0 sheets) came from Outerzone, drawn by a Dutch chap by the name of Rameses de Loof (de Loof Aeroplanes). They were very detailed. All parts had to be cut, all the ribs for the wings and tailplane/elevator, all fuselage parts, etc. I found the build quite complex, quite a lot of ply internal to the wings and fuselage, with suitable mods to convert from IC to electric. All sheeted, with Solartex covering, painted with Tamiya spray paint. Motor is Turnigy D3536/6 1250 kv outrunner, prop 11 x 5.5, battery 4s 3000 mah. Canopy made from 4 pieces of plastic, that for the gunner from a soft drink bottle.still to be added are the sirens on the undercarriage legs and possibly a bomb cradle/release, and the dive brakes under the wings. The siren will be a small servo motor run as a generator, with a small prop attached. The output will be fed into a voltage controlled oscillator, (thus enabling the pitch to change with the speed of the aircraft in the dive) and thence to an amplifier and small speaker... All in the fullness of time Spent about a year on the build - roll on more builders, it is real aeromodelling! Regards, Bill Fergusson. 5
Tomboy 29 October Thanks to Zeus and Aeolus for their great weather delivery again, the Tomboyians had the weather they deserve, enough to make it a interesting contest even if the majority confessed to not understanding the rules, with one competitor complaining that the rules were designed to make him and his model look silly (that person is only seen participating in contests when his partner goes horse riding and is allowed out) He was later seen complimenting the CD on his imaginative rule making (I wonder why, Check who came out first in the 36 division) The contest was punctuated by the good, bad and unlucky. Unlucky was Lynn Rodway who had his motor stop prematurely on his first flight, which in the context of the rules put him an no win situation and this is not the first time that this has happened. Good and bad was demonstrated with the bad bit having the CD, ( oldest on the field - come back Granddad Ensoll), having his model not binding with the TX and having to rebind it causing him to panic his first 2 flights (he was late starting due all his CD responsibilities and only had 1 hour to put in his flights) for low scores and having his last flight upset by having to pass his TX to his copilot and timer (who could still see the model) after taking his eyes off the model due to worrying about a full size plane in our area only to find that his eyes could only see dark floating spots in the sky, fortunately it came back into his view and the TX was returned to the pilot for the final approach and landing for the best % score of the day. The good part of this was that the CD (OBGGGGG) had timed all Seam McCurrie s flights and he reciprocated by helping out when needed (must get a helmet and visor which restricts the field of vision and keeps out the sun) As you will see from the results that normal banter and flying skill has returned after a quiet patch with nearly a full house of competitors. This augers well for the last round of the year. 48 INCH 360 secs Target TOTAL FLT 1 FLT 2 FLT 3 PILOT SECS 565 594 467 DUNSTAN Target 360 360 360 Electric Target excess 205 234 107 % excess 56.94% 65.00% 29.72% LANDING 0.00% 10.00% 10.00% 56.94% 75.00% 39.72% 171.67% FLT 1 FLT 2 FLT 3 PILOT SECS 596 459 326 MORSE Target 360 360 360 1.3cc Mills Target excess 236 99-34 % excess 65.56% 27.50% -9.44% LANDING 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% 65.56% 27.50% -9.44% 83.61% FLT 1 FLT 2 FLT 3 PILOT SECS 149 448 405 RODWAY Target 360 360 360 1.3 cc Mills Target excess -211 88 45 % excess -58.61% 24.44% 12.50% LANDING 0.00% 0.00% 0.00% -58.61% 24.44% 12.50% -21.67% 6

October 29 FF report After demolishing his proper 1/2A model earlier in the month, Bruce Weatherall mounted a TD.049 in his Y-Bar which normally carries a 1.5 diesel. A substantial chunk of lead was needed in the nose to get the C. G. in the right place, and along with the original sturdy construction of the model, this meant it was far to heavy to be at all competitive. Nevertheless, on October 29 Bruce managed three modest times totaling 138 seconds to at least get on the board. Free flight 12th November A well planned attempt to beat the wind saw John Beresford, Stew Morse, Lynn Rodway and Stew Grant turn up to the field at sparrow fart time. Unfortunately a new plan is required as a persistent southerly breeze was already in place. Lynn and Stew Morse decided to put in some Catapult glider times and John joined in as timekeeper. Stu Grant looked on quietly while telling us of his recent UK trip. As the contest was starting to wind up Stu G produced his glider and set about putting in some good times to snatch the victory. Stew M finished two seconds back with his total time enhanced by a thermal that saw his glider heading out of sight toward the river. Lynn flew consistently to be next. Later Lynn and Stew M managed to get in a round of times with their A1 gliders. As always Lynn's model achieved five good times to come out on top.

Free Flight for 19th November by calm air Stew Morse For a change a good day of flying weather that was not dominated by the usual ever present wind. A light northerly breeze was present that enabled the weather station to get away with reporting a zero southerly when checked earlier. Surprisingly only Lynn, Roy and Stew M turned up with free flight models. Stu Grant was content to fly is Radian as well. Roy Gunner put in an early flight with his Vic Smeed designed Pushy Cat. One flight was enough as it looked to be about to disappear in a thermal, before breaking free and landing across the stream. Three P30 times were recorded. Lynn showed he can make the odd mistake by failing to reset his models d/t after waiting for the right conditions for launch. Roy battled on to record times after breaking a motor while winding causing only minor damage thanks to using a blast tube. Stew M had a good day recording two maxes with his new Turkish kitted model. Lynn was the only person with a model for Coupe and he managed three flights to record times.

Nev was first away with his F.1. L. and the dam thing would not turn. The problem was in his need to lighten the back end he thinned the tail boom. The tail boom is probably the most important part of the model as far as trimming goes. Never mind I am sure I can cut him a tail boom just as light with the stiffness it needs. I would like to say now how grateful we are to Nev for flying every month as I would presume without him we would not be able to keep the indoor running. A big thank you Nev. Kay and I have now qualified for the F.1.D World Champs and have the Model Flying councils OK to go. It is being held in the U.S.A. at West Baden Springs Hotel Antrim. As we found out at this meeting our work is just beginning. To qualify we flew our models in a low ceiling mode using 58 thou rubber. Now the work has to start all over again as our models have to climb on 50 thou rubber up to 150 feet plus in this testing session we just could not climb up to 23 feet! Using.1 of a gram of rubber plus ballast. It seems that we have got a bit of work to do. The next meeting is the 10 th of December and we will be trimming Hanger Rats. 9
Trimming the cheap way. By Allan Knox Vintage models need their name and year on them for competition as well as general trim. I have bought commercial sticky vinyl stuff from sign-writers but even at mates rates this is expensive. The vinyl is usually heavier than the film covering on open structures so tends to pull the covering. Add to this the difficulty of getting stickies in the right place and not stuck to your fingers and whatever else they touch I figure there had to be a better way...and there is! I now trim in solar film. Its easy and cheap too if you use off cuts. You just position the decal then iron it down. Any air bubble disappear over time or you can pop them with a needle if they are really big. I find I can build up layers to get multi coloured markings like the roundels on my 30s American trainer schemes. The trick with hand cutting is a shape blade and use a straight edge for all straight cuts. The pictures tell the story. It takes a while but rewards patience. 2 layers of film are taped to the board all the way around then the lettering is blown up and printed on a photocopies, trimmed to size and taped down around. Its important that nothing moves. Lettering is cut with steel straight edge and sharp scalpel blade. Curves are trickier so take your time. I use another copy of the word taped above where the decals will be placed as a spacing and alignment guide. The letters want to stick down anyway so stay where placed. I smooth them into position before applying the iron to lock them down. 10
And this is the finished model, all the trimming was done this way including those scalloped leading edges. My 5 Foot Gas model uses hand-cut film too. Those roundels are made up of 3 layers to get the multi colours. The chequered cowl wrap is a strip of sticky decal though. 11
Radio patch report We have been having some nice flying weather out at the strip on Sunday mornings. The strip is in good condition even for small models so come out and use it you have time on a Sunday morning We have a new Club Trainer. It's a Low Wing Trainer from The World Models "Sky Raider" Its fast but is very stable and will fly at half throttle very nicely.the Model was kindly donated by Trevor Henderson with Grahame Hart donating the Engine, Receiver and Servos Its a very nice model to fly.. She had her maiden flight last week end and it flies very nicely. So please advise if you would like to have a fly. We can set you up with a transmitter or you can use your own if it's a Spectrum brand. It's also an opportunity if you have friends or relatives who would like to try the sport. It's getting very close to the end of the year and the BBQ is on the last Sunday of the month so come out if you can. If the weather is not suitable we will postpone until the following Sunday. See you at the Strip By Graham Moffat Tomboy 26th November didn t happen due weather Try again on 3rd December Wind checker Dunstan Darth Vader makes an appearance 12
WHY DON'T AEROMODELLERS READ THE INSTRUCTIONS? by big T I'm been asked many times by the average modeller as to what is the preferred fuel mix for an engine that they had recently acquired and were quite shocked at my answer. Generally I ask the person as to what the engine brand is and had they read the engine manufacturers instruction...and you have guessed correct- their answer was no. I have no problem with that however it made me realize that there are many aero modellers out there that either don't believe what they read or simply cannot be bothered reading the instructions and perhaps choose to rely on others for advice. Or perhaps they think there is something unique or special in the fuel that I mix- trust me the fuel that I mix is nothing special however it leaves here having been 'double filtered' so I know that it is clean- and that is very important. You know one of the first things that I do when purchasing a new engine is to read the instructions- the engine manufacturer will always know more than me and his written words should not be ignored. The engine manufacturer will no doubt want you to purchase another engine from him so it is not in his interests to mislead you. Glo- fuel generally only differs on nitro content, oil type and how fresh the methanol is...yes, stale or old methanol is a bit like drinking 'flat' beer and you won't get much of a performance out of that. In the past few months the fuel that I have sold has been of 10% nitro content, and the rest a basis of 4:1 ( methanol/oil), and in terms of oil- well that has been fully Castor oil, synthetic/ castor mix and of course full synthetic...and one person in particular purchases the ingredients from me and mixes his own fuel- perhaps he knows more than me! Of course the other important item is the glow plug type- everyone seems to talk about a #8 however don't understand that a #8 in one brand is more than likely not going to be the same heat range by another manufacturer with the same number. We are lucky that generally most engines that are sold normally come with an appropriate, or suitable glow plug, and if not then the seller will normally supply the correct item as an add-on. Have you read of the recommended propeller size and of course the brand- yes, an important item and if its performance that you want then an understanding of all the above itemsfuel, glow plug and propeller- is required. And keep reading the instructions because the engine manufacturer also offers advice on the tank location- follow it because if the tank is wrongly located then you will have inconsistent engine runs- generally erratic tuning and leaning out of the engine towards the end of the tank. Most engine problems that I have heard of are tank related...not a manufacturing fault but the aero modellers lack of understanding of how things are supposed to work. The final item that should be considered is the type of engine mount- some are back plate mounts which screw onto the crankcase of the engine, or beam mounts that are screw fixed to the firewall of the model. This beam type mount is what ARF's are generally supplied with and are a good all purpose mount until the model hits the ground. Please keep reading the instructions- they are there for a reason. 13
December Club night. Last club meeting for the year on Tuesday 5th Dec. We will be having another build session of the attached "Why Not" glider and an impromptu competition afterwards. Same format as before, I will be bringing along the foam sheets - you just bring along your favourite cutting utensil, something to cut on, some cyano glue (which as we found out last time, the cheap variety Warehouse seems to work best OR a electric glue gun BEST) and if you have, a lump of Plasticine. 7 for 7:30 starting time - See you all there. Full size plans will be available on the night 14

No minimum wing loading (that will make some very happy!!!) 4. 3 flights best 2 to count (no maximum flight time just go for it) I have selected my plan, just waiting for a build slot!!!!!! And electrics from Hobbyking. As this is the last bulletin for the year I would like to thank all my contributors for helping make Torque, I think, a interesting club magazine, and while some of my photo captions may not always hit the mark, I hope that you take them in the fun way they were intended, for example behind that arse is class!!! a caption that was not used. (see if you can figure out what picture it was considered for!!!!) Thanks to Allan Knox for his informative article on trimming his models (how he keeps up his build/flying program I don t know!!!!) Congratulations to Bill Fergusson on another immaculate scale build (the builder of the model rule reins supreme ) As we enter that period of warm/hot weather please be careful at the flying field as no doubt the grass will become a fire hazard. I don t know about you but I have already brought my Xmas Presents (ak Hobbyking) So I wish you all a very Merry Xmas and a happy new year with many flying hours with out crashing. OBGGGGG Women believe they live seven years longer than men - because that s how long it takes to clear up the mess the men leave (my wife says that she is going first because she doesn t want to sort the model workshop out!!!!
