More than 300 attend Model aeronautics contest described as best in The Model Aeronautics Association of Canada (MAAC) national competi- tion -- the Nats for short -- III the "finest contest in the world" accoriding to coml- petitor Bob Sargeant. Sargeant was one of 300 enthusiasts spending the week in Huron Park to fly radio control, control line (hand controls) and free flight model airplanes, helicopters and rockets. This is the fifth year the association's annual national event has been held at the Huron Park airfield. It began Friday July 10 and finished Sunday July 19. Sargeant. from t h e Cleveland. Ohio suburb of Rockey River. said he tries to attend the Canadian Nats every year. He said he en- joys the relaxed family at- mosphere of the 10 -day con- test. While Sargeant usually travels to the American model aircraft nationals, the two day drive in 115 degree weather to •"someplace in the middle of Texas" prompted him and many other Americans to make the trip north. Sargeant was competing in a control line event called navy carrier. Gas powered mos models are flown around a circle on 60 foot lines. In the event, the model must take off, under its own power. from a model of an aircraft carrier deck. The pilot must then circle seven laps as fast as possible, followed by seven laps as slow as possible. Another control line com- petitor, Sam Burke of Cam- bridge. said new rules have taken some of the fun out of carrier." Under the new rules" he said "aircraft have to keep moving forward. before they could go incredibly slow." • The pilot then centres up and must land on the carrier Best Interest 1 7 1/2 0/0 We represent many Trust Companies.

GRAND BEND 238-8484 CLINTON 482-9747 deck. The plane is stopped by a hook on its tail andiI nes string across the deck. Any touching of the pave- ment is considered a crash ("ditching at sea" 'com- mented one spectator) and the pilot is eliminated from that try. Flyers are scored by a differential between their fast and slow times, the quality of their landing and by getting scale points for their model's resemblance to real air- craft. "When you get to be my age," Sargeant, in his late 50s. said. "Its the only event you can fly - I only have to do seven (fast) laps and then slow down and catch up." Like radio control and free flight events, competition is devided into various classes based on the engine size and specifications of the model. Carrier was typical *of many of the Huron Park events. Events in the different classes were contested un- der various rules. The 'American' carrier contest was under Academy of Mo- dle Aeronautics (AMA) - the Amercian counterpart of MAAC - rules. Some events were flown under similar MAAC rules and many events were flown under in- ternational or FAI rules. While people such as Bob Sargeant were competing "not to win. but to get out and do out our thing" the week's competition had more importance for Sam Burke. Burke was competing for a place on the Canadian national team and hopes to accompany the team to world competition in Sweden next year. The Canadian team is partially subsidised by the MAAC. Burke flys control line speed airplanes under FAI IIENSALL DISTRICT C9,...-191PP ♦rucefield Zurich 412.9123 236-4393 262.3002 4 rules. Over a 10 lap, one kilomenter distance, a model powered by a 21/2 cc engine can reach speeds of 160. As an indication of com- petition. a Canadian, now living in New Mexico, travelled from Albuquerque to compete. In carrier and speed only one plane at a time Is flown. Burke said he has also competed in FAI team rac- ing where three pilots fly their models in 100 lap race heats. The rules limit the amount of fuel carried and each pilot must make at least three pit stops to refuel and restart the engines. Another popular event is control line combat. - Two pilots and their ground helpers' each start two models. The pilots ta1ce off, and on signal. try to maneuver their aircraft onto the tail of their opponent to trim off a trail- ing streamer with their props. Combat competition is dangerous - to the aircraft - and pilots and their crews wear hockey type helmets. The models are flown on twisted steel wires which in many events are pull tested before each flight. Sargeant explained this as a purely safety measure, which tests lines and the model for strength. The test simulates a stress loading of 40 gs. or 40 times the weight of the model. The class 2 carrier models are pull tested to 75 pounds. Along with the competi- tion. the flyers got to show off a few maneuvers most full size aircraft couldn't perform. (Such as flying on one wing.) To avoid radio in- terference between operators on the same fre- quency. the radio controlled helicopter events were flown at the Grand Bend airport. One spectator asked a competitor to demonstrate the inverted hover. "Ab- solutely incredible," was how the spectator described the stunt. "It shouldn't work. " The competitor agreed, saying "we're not supposed to be able to do it." He added he had flown the inverted hover and had seen others do it, but that the helicopter -model had to be specially set up. The inverted hover remained a mystery, but all competitors had to demonstrate their control proficiency by looping and rolling their models - somethin'g full size helicopter pilots would rare- ly, if ever, do. Free flight events were also scheduled for Grand Bend, but had to be moved when the field was dis- covered to be planted with four foot deep corn. The un- tethered models could be irretrievably lost in the high corn. The competition was mov- ed to a site near Huron Park, about two miles east of highway 4 on Usborne sideroad 5. In free flight events; models are lifted by limited engine runs. They are then timed during their glide return. Other launch methods include rubber band motors, tow line, hand and rocket launches. The events seemed slow paced to spectators waiting for the action to begin, but pilots were busy trimming, preparing and some even world fixing their aircraft. Time was at a premium for competitors. Each was given a limited 'limber of chances to make official flights, but a stalled or flood- ed engine, not started on time. could mean wasting a chance. "This isn't a show", one judge said, "this is the Nats." Many like Sargeant were here to "do their thing". He flys free flight and radio con- trol too. but competed only in control line. "If it ceases to be fun," Sargeant said, explaining his philosophy of Nats com- petition." we get out of it."
