The prez sez Junior / Junior = under 18 Junior = 18 to 60 Senior = 60 to 80 Senior / Senior = 80+ Club perceived age / knowledge I would like to thank all of our members that attended the recent working bee at the club, a great team and a lot of jobs were achieved, we certainly have some master fencers amongst our club. The fences battens were re aligned and repaired, the container patio cleaned down and sprayed with wet and forget, work benches cleaned, electric fence mapped to be re set in future weeks. We have been lucky with the weather these past Sundays and the power patch has been well attended which is great to see, welcome to our new members who have joined us this year. Please don't forget that if any of you have any queries or ideas for our club future, speak with your officer rep or speak with me directly, I'm the one trying to fly helicopters at the power patch. Happy Flying Grahame Hart Notices Club 4 July meeting: Please bring along a small cutting board or plank or anything to cut on, a (sharp!) blade or scalpel or whatever you use to cut balsa with and some cyano - we will be building some models and then flying them to see who's flies the best/furthest. Everyone gets the same materials but no plan. You get to design then build your own model! Start time is 7:30 For sale Hi guy's, I have 2 x Mills 1.3 engines for sale in original boxes,paperwork, 1 x engine has spare gasket set, awesome condition, If anyone within club collects vintage or is simply interested please contact, can email pic if wanted, Shane. Phone 0274710229 Email shaneoregan28@gmail.com Things you should know The human nervous system has a greater number of possible connections than a telephone exchange with a line to every person living on earth. A racing pigeon can fly at 117km (110 miles) per hour. In England in 1348 it rained almost non-stop from June until the end of December Louis X1V of France apparently took only three baths in his life time, NONE of them voluntarily. 2
Tomboy 28th may Congratulations must be given to the Zeus weather management team for predicting the immaculate weather that was presented to those who chose to fly, a absolutely clear blue sky, no grey clouds to suck up the unwary like last time, virtually no wind until 1130hours and it was the predicted light easterly. The 48 division out numbered the 36 division by 5 to 1 which allowed the CD (36 ) to annihilate the other competitors (0) with his skillful flying (Yeah right!!!) at least he got 2 landing spots which were not achieved by those who chose to berate the CD last time for not including it in the rules because it wasn t necessary as it was so easy to achieve!!!! We had our first maximum flight 630 (10minutes exactly, plus a landing ) by JD, returning to the winners circle after his debacle of the last round, he even got another 10minute flight but no landing (blamed the CD for not showing him where the circle was) this allowed him to edge out the last event winner Lynn Rodway by 35 points due Lynn having no landings ( 2 landings would have done it Lynn) Coming at 3rd was Stu Grant with his electric 48. He had a few problems with batteries etc but will be better prepared next time. Stew Morse has taken the hint and replaced the old Mk 1 Mills with a Mk 2 (Stew seems to have inexhaustible supply of Mills engines) only to find that it seemed to be no better than the Mk1, 2minute 30second engine run time. On review by the eagle eyed it appears that the fuel tank is leaking at a faster rate than the engine can consume. Once Stew has that sorted then he will be a force to be reckoned with. (reports have it that he now has a 4 minute motor run with the tank supplied by OBGGGGG so watch out you other 48 Tomboyans!!!) The unluckiest man of the day was Granddad Ensoll who had a flyaway when the model didn t respond to his TX inputs at the time of writing this the model is still to be found (Where was Dave Griffin with his Phantom 4 Drone when you need him. Maybe the club should own one for just such occasions) TOMBOY 36' PRECISION SCORE SHEET ACTUAL FLIGHT TIME (420 MAXI- MUM) LESS Landing bonus 30 points OVER- RUN X 10 FINAL TO- TAL 900 Maximum NAME ENGINE FLIGHT 1 170 30 200 BURROWS mills.75cc FLIGHT 2 293 30 323 523 58.11% Rules for this contest were Landing inside 15meter circle 30points Target time for 36inch Tomboy 7minutes (420) Target time for 48inch Tomboy 10minutes (600) Penalty for over flying target time is 10 points for every second over Three flights best two to count So the absolute best you can score for each class is 36 inch is 900 (= 2x 420 + 2x30 ) 48 inch is 1260 (= 2x 600 + 2x30 ) 3

Vintage May 28 Two vintage free flight events were flown on May 28 Bruce Weatherall put up his 1953 Ron Warring Flip Flop in nostalgia rubber. After a couple of glitches (since you had to ask, a burst rubber motor and a handle coming away from his winder) he put in three modest but respectable times. At the end of the morning, Lynn Rodway brought out his 1941 Playboy Junior for Vintage Power. The engine was not at full power for his first flight of just over a minute, but after a tweak it was right on song for his second flight which went high and far. The northeasterly wind had really built up by then, so Lynn had long walk to retrieve it and decided not to put in a third flight. Pity he had spent the best part of the morning Tomboying... Results:- Nostalgia Rubber: Bruce Weatherall, 177sec Vintage Power: Lynn Rodway 228sec Vintage 18 june It was George Fuller day on June 18 with the English designer s two best known models flown in Nostalgia Power. Bruce Weatherall came out on top with his old reliable Dixielander averaging close to two minutes over his three flights. Lynn Stewart Morse s Stomper flew well after a bit of trimming in consultation with Lynn Rodway, although one of his flights might have added another half minute or so if it hadn t DT d early. Lynn also had a short second flight after a bad launch spoiled the climb, but overall a reasonable result for both fliers. Conditions were just about perfect, with a very slight drift meaning only short walks to retrieve, and all flights qualified for Avon Trophy as well. Results:- Bruce Weatherall (Dixielander) 352sec Stewart Morse (Stomper) 296sec Lynn Rodway (Stomper) 272sec Yeah right!! 5
Building a Bigger Tugger After much soul searching and bank balance review, (not to mention the continual protests of my tow pilot Scott) I decided to embark on a new build project, to build a new bigger tow plane. Not that I was short of something to do, but CMAC and us especially needed another large tow plane as Andrew Palmer's being the only one of sufficient size to tow bigger models out of our slightly shorter strip at the Willows. The existing Cessna Agg Wagon with its 60 cc twin can handle models of up to 5 mtrs but there is not a lot to come and go on out of our strip in a strong easterly. I did a fair bit of searching around for plans and ARF kits eventually settled on the Hangar 9, 33% Pawnee (the same model as Andrews and Peter Hewson). The next issue was where to get one from as it comes in three large boxes and I was not looking forward to that sort of freight bill. I tried my friend Mike ORilley of Model Flight in Adelaide Australia to see if he could have one drop shipped to me in Christchurch given they are Horizon agents. Mike advised duty etc would make the solution way too expensive but supplied the contact for the NZ agent in Auckland, and after a couple of emails, found out that he had a kit but said I would have to purchase through the Hangar 9 retailer in Christchurch. This caused some head scratching as to whom that might be, eventually finding via the Horizon web site that the local agent was Acorn Models CHC much to my surprise. After another couple of Emails to "Jan" from Acorn came up with a CHC pick up price that was very reasonable given the prices quoted at other facilities around the world and even better than Australian listed pricing for the kit. The next big issue was what to power it with? Peter Hewson has a DLE 111 in his and given his satisfaction and our good experience of the DLE 60 Twin in the Cessna was leaning that way given the price of the alternate, the DA 100 or 120 that is twice the price of the DLE. Eventually after much discussion, I was worn down by Scott and Andrew so relented and purchased a DA120 from DA Australia with canister exhausts etc, not by any means a cost focused solution but I was assured by all, that it was the best way to go. I must recommend here the excellent product support and advise from Ian Howard of DA Australia in Brisbane. Ian went out of his way to help and still is providing FOC advise on an on going basis I highly recommend these guys for your next modeling material purchases ( not just DA equipment!) I was able to combine the purchase with a weeks holiday in our old stamping ground in Brisbane so was able save some $400 AUD on the GST making the purchase a bit more palatable. The next Item was Servos, opting to go for the same Hi Tech hi torque metal gear servos that Peter Hewson is running in his Pawnee these coming from Tower in the USA under a deal that they were offering at the time, that saw us getting one of the 8 required for free. Other material's used were 2 x 4000 mah Gens ACE 2 cell Lipos, a regulator for the power supplies, a new special JR receiver ( Scott and his JR affliction), the supplied fuel tank was changed out for an 1800 cc one (on Andrews advise as you can get about 30 mins tow time out of the bigger tank), 6
2 Mejzlik 27x12 TH 3 bladed carbon props, Tow release from IFLY Tailies in the US, the only outstanding issue now is, for me to exchange the 5-3/4" wheels of the Kit for some DUBRO 7 " on Andrews advise, to improve the prop clearance on some of the rougher strips we use sometimes. Having competed the assembly, the next thing was to have the MFNZ required inspections done as she falls with in the Class one weight limits of the Large model categories. Richard Tier was co-opted for this task being the local MFNZ area rep inspector. Richard was very helpful with the inspection process and test flight program as was Rene Redmond of MFNZ providing the required documentation and final certification documents post the test flight program. The test flight day eventually came around during a with a fine break in the weather, Andrew Palmer being called upon to carry out the test program ( in amongst his busy F3A training program) Andrew completed the required 5 flight program on the day, then was able to observe Scott for his large model wings rating required to fly this model. All in all a very successful day at the field with only a couple of minor jobs to be done post the test flight program. We have subsequently carried out its first Aerotow,towing Peter France s 4 mtr " Fox" in a moderate easterly, I must admit to being very pleased with the models performance ( be it, Scott got a bit of a shock with the Pawnee leaping into the air after a very short roll on full throttle with a glider on behind) DA Power!!!!!! I must admit to a lot of satisfaction with the Quality and assembly of this ARF kit, they come with a very detailed assembly manual, but there are a couple of errors to watch out for, the C of G detailed for the model between 8-9.5 inches back for the LE is an error more like 10.5 inches back from the LE, we had to locate one of the batteries down the back the same as Andrews. Some of the glue joints around the undercarriage mounts need redoing ( mine has a couple of additional spruce spars in this area to help better absorb the landing shock loads. I wish to thank the following people and suppliers who were involved in helping bring this program to a successful completion either with advise or material support: Mike ORilley ( Model Flight Australia), Jan Paine ( Acorn Models CHC) Ian Howard ( DA Australia), Tower Hobbies, Hangar ONE NZ, Andrew Palmer ( advise, help, test pilot) Peter Hewson, Richard Tier- Rene Redmond ( MFNZ). Now I can get on with completing Scotts 6mtr ASH 26 and then starting my ASW 15, 5 mtr. ( no rest for the old farts these days) ( as they say Paul, never retire or what goes round comes round, or all manner of jobs get lobbed your way see editorial ) Paul Chisholm PS Much to Andrews amusement! we had to modify the trailer to transport it ( told you so didn t I. Andrew) 7
How do you keep the garage floor so clean Paul?? Paul sent these photos of his project, the one to the right, his caption was his engineer given the shades I would say it is the pilot Here is a couple of club gliding videos b y Peter France https://www.youtube.com/edit?o=u&video_id=gdxrmitaluq https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgzlf4jgsrm 8
Who do you go to when something goes missing???? Not the Ghost busters, Not the myth busters, Not sar, Not the coast guard You go to dave griffin of mission impossible and the phantom We have another above and beyond story of the young keeping the oldies happy and granddad E is very happy his beloved, overweight lost Tomboy has been found. When John was putting his first flight at the Tomboy competition he found that the model stopped responding to his inputs (why, will be the subject of intense investigation) After the last Torque, where Dave Griffin showed off the excellent photographic results of his newly acquired Phantom 4 Drone, it was suggested that Dave would be the go to man for aerial surveillance for the lost model. While the first attempt was un successful (see track photo) on Monday, Dave after getting some better idea where to go found the model next day on the top of a new shelter belt fence. 9
Free flight 28 may The following times were recorded in the non Tomboy world on Sunday 28th May. Open Glider Bruce Bonner 114, 105, 134 total 353 Open Rubber Neville Robinson 74 Bruce had his three flights as the wind started to increase. His final flight resulting in a long search with a fortunate recovery from a deep and well protected crop of Chou Moellier Neville suffered a problem with his winding apparatus that prevented him from adding to his initial flight. Free flight 11 june A ssmall, select group of Free flighters turned out this morning. A light, steady NW wind was blowing most of the morning. Rubber models were the order of the day with P30 and Coupe models getting a good workout. P30 Lynn 100, 61, 100 total 261 John B 78, 98, 75 total 251 Stew M 63, 66, 79 total 208 Bruce W 52, 64, 36 total 152 Coupe Lynn 89, 78, 86 total 253 Bruce W 47, 58, 89 total 194 Cheers, Stew M Indoor Report for the 11 th June. Hanger Rat was the order of the day. All three of us were ready to get our N.D.C. times in. Nev was flying well and managed to get five flights in. Kay and I both put the front wing struts back on our models as I thought that under the rules front wing struts are required and besides the more exactly to the plan we build these things the better and longer they fly for. Guess what? Not this time. All of our models power stalled. I had also changed the trim of all the models we had with us, why? Well we were fairly well maxed out with things as they were, so I figured that it was time for change. I won t tell you what the trim was as I wouldn t want you to run into the same trouble. I started off blaming Kay for over winding and lousy launches. But no, it wasn t her fault, as hard we tried things for us never got much better. Kay managed to get in couple times with five attempts. I never got any times in at all. The laugh in all of this was at home was a perfectly good Hanger Rat set up under the old trim. So only Nev and Kay had any times. Under the recording officers rules these times will not be counted unless someone else puts in a Hanger Rat time. The guys up north flew Hanger Rat at Morrisville but I was told they won t be sending times in. Dave Jackson is hoping to fly with others at Whangarei next weekend but if he doesn t I will go back out and put in a couple of times to make up the numbers. Times. Kay 2.min 12 sec and 1 min 51 sec. Nev. 2 min 9 sec. and 1 min 57 sec. The next meeting will be on the 9 th July. Event F.1.D n.d.c. 10
Avon trophy 18june What a day, the weather was perfect as predicted by the weather office, pity about the lack of numbers who were ready to compete, it seems that there are very few who read the program as published in Torque (SHAME ON YOU) only two were prepared to fly, the others used their no s power models. The two who were ready to fly had their problems, OBGGGGG s Loutrel Sportster suffered from a motor who was reluctant to start (as was the case last month when Vintage Precision was to be flown) subsequently traced to a broken bearer and a prop nut which had stripped (John Beresford came to the rescue with one) plus his first flight seemed to vanish after looking good, after much searching in the wrong places was found up a pine tree in the stop bank plantation (thanks again to JB) subsequently retrieved but to late to compete. Stu Grant was going to use the Granddad Vic Smeed Mamselle but thought the DT timer was a bit dickey so flagged it. This was the lowest percentage winner of all the contests we have had for the trophy. The winner was the ever helpful John Beresford with his P30 for 80% of the maximum available (360) it included one max. Second was our old stalwart Bruce Weatherall flying his much loved and used Dixielander to a 65% of the maximum (540) Bruce really wanted the trophy to compete against his wife s trophy on the mantel piece next time Bruce!!! Third was the up and comer was Skipper Stew Morse again keeping the faith with his well repaired Stomper for 54% of the maximum (540) Fourth was Lynn Rodway who, was by his standards, lagging in the rear, again a Stomper for 50% of the maximum (540) Last but not least (he put in a time which some of the top dogs didn t) again a P30 for 14% of the maximum (360) well done Nev Robinson. OBGGGGG presenting the trophy to a happy John (another for the trophy cabinet ) Mr. Beresford demonstrating the correct launch technique for the winning Avon Trophy P30 No problem madam, Captain Griffin is our backup pilot 11
Poopy puppy pooper scooper reports It has been brought to my attention that you can t always trust advice given by your mates. Case in point, while looking for his lost glider Live Wire Bonner was accompanied by Stew Morse to find the missing glider, which was observed sticking out of a paddock of. Chou Moellier Live Wire Bonner proceeded to enter the crop to retrieve the model only to find that it was a bit higher than he thought (above his head) and called on Stew s assistance to guide him to said model which was duly recovered, in the mean time Stew found out that the fence that he was standing at had a live top wire which he duly reported to the returning Live Wire Bonner who proceeded to thread his way thru the lower fence wires. Guess what!!! They too, were live, hence his new nick name. I m not sure what Stew s nick name is now and is he still on Live Wire Bonner s face book page as a friend!!! It seems these days we are very lucky with the wide spectrum of skills within our club, case in point is the recovery of Granddad Ensoll s Tomboy which went AWOL it required skilled observers who gave a line on it when it disappeared from view to our B787 captain and his skillful use of his drone to locate the missing model on the line suggested. The undoubted skills of our current salmon angler (Stu Grant) who, using a treble hook attached to a extendable pole (just like the salmon rod), hooked the model from the top of the shelter belt trees. Now we await the postmortem on why it was not responding to pilot inputs just hope that the RX battery had not dropped below the required voltage (3.5v) to operate the RX. (apparently it was a dead rudder servo) Now I know that we are in the enthralling competition for the Americas Cup in which there is a lot of secrecy about what hidden gems of performance boost that are likely to come as competition progresses. I did not expect to have to report on email messages sent to OBGGGGG accusing him of letting the cat out of the Tomboy improvement bag about a significant performance gem that said person was going to lay on all at the next contest, here is the gist of the said emails next contest is PS 1/ Granddad E will be attending having got his TB back but needs to change the DEAD rudder servo 2/ Stew Morse is out to impress with his now 4minute motor run 48" (new tank supplied by!!!!!!!) beware all Reply as follows Hey OBGGGGG, This is not the America's Cup!!! We should not be tipping off the Defenders about the Challenger's secret improvements between competition days. Cheers, Skipper Stew Morse, 12
A QUICK OVERVIEW OF YOUR MODEL ENGINE BALLBEARINGS As understood by Big T (he apologizes for repeating himself but it is a enlightening of a couple of new members questions) Although the typical engine has only six moving parts, two of them, the ball bearings are not made by the manufacturer and of course are absolutely critical to the engines performance. Good bearings allow for the engine to develop its maximum power by reducing the internal friction of the moving parts of the engine...never forget that the power being produced by the engine is being transferred through the bearings to give the aeroplane the/ your desired performance- draggy bearings means the shaft is possibly being slowed! The bearings not only absorb all the thrust created by the propeller but also absorb all of the horizontal motion, and acceleration of the piston and conrod assembly as it moves up and down thousands of times per minute- the bearings that we use are generally very good but like most things do have their limitation; and of course a life. They are not capable of generally handling sharp blows caused by crashes and at times continual use of the electric starter. For us aeromodellers a bearing is deemed past its useful life if you can feel any roughness- whether with, or without the propeller. Because of their size and vulnerability at being at the front end of the model, the front bearing is the most susceptible to damage, and in most cases the smaller of the two bearings. For the average aeromodeller he dosen't really need to understand bearings- his main concern is how well his engine runs...! Yes, piston and liners are very important for power but the bearings should also be considered as equally as important for transmitting that power. If you have any doubts about your bearings then feel free to call me and I can indicate the best procedure for checking. That is best done with you engine in my hand and I can show you what to feel for. So what makes a bearing develop roughness and become unusable? Lets first describe how a bearing is constructed it is made up of an outer and inner race, the balls, and the cage; which some refer to as a retainer. A precision item that is fitted to very close tolerances and in the ideal condition should stay that way but as aeromodellers we expose them to fuel, dust, crashes, scarcely lubricated ( fuel mist) and generally being ignored. From my understanding of bearings the balls are heat treated to a higher hardness than the races so any dust or dirt that enters the cages tends to have a gouging effect on the trough section of both... the balls will show signs of damage but that isn't always possible to the human eye... and its that damage that one can feel when turning over an engine. Generally speaking a 'prang' will cost you both model and rest assured damage to the front bearing Changing a bearing is not difficult and generally its wise to do both at the same time as heat is required to remove them. Heat is applied by heat gun, oven or some prefer to immerse the crankcase into boiling water., each has its merits but all require the use of a heat resistant mitten as hot crankcases are prone to leave heat blisters on ones fingers. Bearing technology is a 'black art' that needs another article, however one should be aware that one of the secrets to good bearings and bearing fits is the 'clearance' of the bearingdon't forget that as the crankcase expands with operating heat then it has an effect on the internal clearance of the bearing, that s the manufacturers clearance between the balls and the races. 13

At the time Torque was a very haphazard in its production (like maybe 6 copies a year ) and with out sufficient information on flying program events and when they were to happen. Now at the time I had been made redundant from AirNZ due the September 11 terrorist attack on the twin towers NY so they thought that I needed something to occupy my spare time (yeah right!!) But like they say, these things were sent to try us and after 15 years and a few changes in the look of Torque, here we are waiting for the next editor to take over and put his stamp on the club news and views. SOON I HOPE Doesn't the field look good after the working bee, of particular note was how well the fence from the gate to the container looked with all the battens vertical and stapled, just shows you when the call goes out the people with the right gear turn up to do their bit ( a proper fencing staple gun certainly helps) Well done working bee people. HAVE YOU READ TORQUE FROM FRONT TO BACK I M disappointed that based on a recent survey at the field that a lot of you don t seem to read the great literary content that it is in it, particularly the club program of events and when they are to happen. PLEASE DO BETTER!!!!!!! OBGGGGG A couple of photos of our indoor expert at his large vertical mill slicing indoor wood. Bill has a vacuum pump sucking the balsa down while the slicing blade does its work. Very good quality indoor wood is produced. 14
