Mid-America 2000
 July 8 & 9, 2000 was another great Mid-Am. Entrants came from all over
Michigan, Louisiana, Ontario, Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, Quebec, Texas, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, California, Wisconsin, South
Dakota, Kentucky, Kansas, Maryland, North Carolina, and New York. Canada (Ontario and Quebec) accounted for 16 pilots out
the 90 registered for Saturday.
The meet actually got underway for me on Thursday evening when I went to
Metro Airport to pick up Peter Haworth from Australia. Yes, I imported my own special labor from the land down under.
Peter and I headed to the field on Friday morning to do all of the "grunt"
work. The extra porta potties were there, unfortunately in the wrong place. As we waited for the large dining canopy to show
up, we started setting up the field, a major task. Jim Lapham and Bill Brown of the Midwest R/C Society showed up to give the
field a final grooming. It should also be noted that Jim had prepared a lot of parking and extra cutting earlier in the week, and we
were pretty much ready by noon. Greg Gimlick and Doug Holland of North Carolina showed up and we put them to work
immediately helping to set up parking lines and moving those misplaced outhouses. By mid-afternoon on Friday, the sky was
filling with beautiful electric planes, as sun shelters started popping up on the flightline like toadstools after a rain. The flying
continued well into the evening hours with Dave Grife flying his Wingo after dark. He was kind enough to let Peter and myself
have a go at night flying his Wingo.
The day started early on Saturday with contestants and workers showing up early at
the field. Larry Palmer and his crew of Midwest members handled the parking while Debbie McNeely, EFO Secretary, took
over the registration duties.
By the 9:30 pilots meeting the whole field was a buzz of
activity. Several people started flying as soon as pins were available. It was an absolutely perfect day for flying. There were
very light, almost nonexistent, winds through the whole day. The sky was overcast but not dark and temperatures reached only
into the mid-70’s. Absolutely perfect!
At 10 o’clock the Model A’s, yes Model A Fords, pulled in. The Oakleaf Region
chapter of the Model A Restorer’s Club once again visited and were the honored guests of the Mid-Am. This year I had a
special award presented to the best model A, as chosen by the meet entrants. Having them come is a really nice touch, and I’ve
invited them back again for 2001!
Keith and Dave put on their demo around lunch time. While they were doing some
great flying and demonstrating the ultimate in electric flight, many folks headed over to the food tent to grab a hot dog or some
pizza. Jim Lapham, head of the food committee for Midwest R/C, decided that some fresh Dominoes pizza might be a good
addition to the field food list. He was right!
It should be noted that Keith was extremely ill the whole weekend, and we all thank
him for getting through it to make a great meet for all of us.
The members of the Ann Arbor Falcons and EFO, lead by Warren Plohr (Falcon),
did a remarkable job of frequency control. With the Falcons and EFO being very small clubs, it was absolutely wonderful to see
the turn out of workers. Thanks to all of you for making this meet the very best e-meet in the country!
An interesting note is that a helicopter entered the All Up/Last Down. An even
more interesting note is that it was NOT the first plane down!
The awards were given out around 4:00, as well as the many wonderful
complimentary goods acquired by Jim Young.
Saturday’s Special Awards
- Longest Timed Flight: Richard Utkan, Milford, MI
- All Up/Last Down: Larry Markey, Northville, MI
- Best Ducted Fan: Chris True’s Mig 15, California, MD
- Best Sport Plane: Joe Price’s Slow Poke 40, Peotone, IL
- Most Beautiful: Jim Young’s Mister Mulligan, Brighton, MI
- Best Scale: Chris McHugh’s Tempest Mark V, Hamilton, ONT
- CD’s Choice: Kevin Cox’s F-18, St. Louis, MO
This year’s Charlie Spear Award was presented to Jim Ryan. Jim is a
prolific designer, writer and all-around great booster of electric flight. Many of you know of him through his writings and plans
presented in Model Airplane News and Sailplane and Electric Modeler. His WWII Speed 400 planes have become legend.
Congratulations and well deserved Jim!
Actually, all of the entrants received a very special award on Saturday even though
they may not have been aware of it. I was sitting with Keith under his sun shade and while Chris McHugh was flying his
beautiful Tempest Keith said, "All of those airshows, demos and writings have paid off! It‘s really been worthwhile."
The two of us sat and watched and marveled at the flying and building skills that have evolved in this facet of the hobby. To you,
the electric pilots of 2000, well done, and keep up the great work.
After the "official" contest was over, Dave Hares had the picnic potluck
ready to roll. For me, this is a wonderful time of the day. It is fun to talk with folks moving though the line. Sharing food and
talk is absolutely enjoyable. Because of the wonderful placement of clouds over the sun, flying continued non-stop until well after
dark. Yes, there was once again night flying.
When it was really, really dark, a mysterious bluish glow appeared on the ground
near the east end of the flight line. Anticipation arouse. The crowd grew quieter and in hushed tones the word spread that HE,
Howard Kendall, Midwest R/C president, the man himself, was here. While those who had not attended the Mid-Am before
didn’t know what was about to happen, they caught the mood and stood or sat silently, waiting, waiting. A glow engine roared to
life, the friction of the rotors could be heard turning slowly, the lighting system leaped to life. With a whine and whir followed by
a brilliant flash of the extraordinary lighting system, Howard’s chopper took to the air for a remarkable flight of night 3-D night
aerobatics. Gasps, wows and applause erupted from those who watched. There is absolutely no way to describe the skills that
Howard has achieved in night flying a helicopter. You just have to see it, and you still won’t believe it.
After Howard’s flight, the evening ended with the entrants going home or back to
their motels, and I was finally able to lock the gate just before midnight.
Sunday started early with pilots showing up around 7 o’clock. The weather was partly sunny, warm, humid and windy. Again, the pilots were welcomed and briefed at the pilot’s meeting. Flying continued until around noon, when the demos were interrupted by a downpour. There were showers on and off the rest of the afternoon. The showers interrupted the S400 All Up/Last Down and it was finally decided between Don Belfort and Darwin Garrison by a coin flip.
The awards and prizes were passed out about one o’clock while everyone was in
the food tent escaping the rain and enjoying some fine field food.
Sunday’s Special Awards
- Longest Timed Flight S400: Sam (Samantha) Foss, Shelby Twp., MI
- All Up/Last Down S400: Darwin Garrison, Fort Wayne, IN
- Best Multimotor: Hank Hoelzer, Twin ElectroStreak, Brookfield, WI
- Most Beautiful: Joe Hass, Hurricane, Rochester Hills, MI
- Best Scale: Mark Thompson, T-33, Dundos, ONT
- Best Mini-Electric: Andy Telzer, Minx Ducted Fan, Oakville, ONT
- CD’s Choice: Dick Fleming, Zonia Seed flying wing based on a real seed!, Ollivet, MI
Flying continued on and off through the rest of the afternoon. Actually the All
Up/Last Down S-400 started after the presentations.
The workers retrieved signs, took down the transmitter impound, took apart the
parking, picked up the garbage and all of the rest of the necessary tasks. To each and every Falcon, EFO and Midwest R/C
Society member that worked to make this a great meet, Keith and I send an extremely sincere thanks from ourselves and all of
the pilots.
Peter and I arrived back at my house about 6 o’clock and had to wait for another
storm to pass before backing in the trailer and unloading it.
On Monday morning I took Peter to rent a car for the remainder of his US visit
and then down to the field to help Keith police up the area. We send a huge thanks to the pilots, spectators and workers. You
left the field in great condition. While waiting for the dining canopy to be removed, Keith and I talked about what a great meet
this was, even though he was sick.
Again, thanks to all who came, worked, played and made the Mid-America Electric
Flies 2000 such an enjoyable experience. Remember to mark your calendars for the weekend after the 4th of July for the
Mid-Am 2001.
As Larry Marshall said in his 1998 Mid-Am article, Ken and Keith Throw a Quiet
Party. (Good to see Larry back this year!) When you come in 2001, remember that this is a pilots’ meet. Bring your manners,
neatness, best planes, best friends and join us for a "party" of about 100 of our closest friends.

Subj: the Mid-Am event....
From: Grant Calkins email CasinoOp@thegrid.net
Ken,
Just a quick message to say THANKS for putting on a great event again this year.
Janna and I really enjoyed ourselves in the "cornfields of Michigan" and definitely want to come back again next
year. We realize that you and all your crew work darn hard to stage this event, and we just want to say
again.....Thank you!
Later,
Grant Calkins (Janna too) (from California)
Subj: Mid-Am 2000
From: Kevin Cox email: KCox854272@aol.com
Hi Ken,
I wanted to thank you and the rest of your crew for putting
together a really great event. The only thing that I regret is that we only stayed for Saturday! I won't make that mistake next
year! My family and I really enjoyed ourselves. Also thanks for the CD’s Choice Award. I was shocked to say the least,
considering the other outstanding models there.
Thanks,
Kevin Cox and Family (from Missouri)
Subj: Fly-away at the fly in
From: David Alexander email: dalexander@ukans.edu
Hi Ken,
I just wanted you to know that my step-dad and I enjoyed the Mid-America
Fly-in. In fact, he was a non-flyer before last year's event but was so enthused by the 1999 fly-in that he built a Slowmowatt and
is doing a little training with it. (Slow going when instructor and student live about 14 hrs. apart; nevertheless, he has now built a
total of 3 slomowatts!)
In spite of one problem (a fly away KM), we both enjoyed this year's
event greatly and will probably be back in future years.
Once again, in spite of my loss (no one to blame but me!). I had a LOT of fun this
past weekend and hope to be back in a year or 2. Congratulations on another highly successful event.
Dave Alexander
Lawrence, KS
(PS, you guys were right! Those trees on the other side of the tracks WERE 50-60' tall!)
Subj: Mid-America
From: Jim Young
Hi Ken,
You probably have a bunch of emails telling you what a great time the Mid-Am
was, but here's another anyway. Even though I lost a couple of planes, I had a good time. I got to visit with some friends, and
see some good pilots and builders. (Note how to access Jim’s photos in this issue. KM)
I am also editing the video I took, and will make it available for future EFO
meetings.
Quietly,
Jim Young

Electric Mongo Jr
From: Tord email: tord@natverkstan.net
Hi,
I thought it is time to tell you about my tests (very preliminary) of building a
fan-powered Mongo Jr.
You might know the Mongo Jr before as a big Zagi-like flying wing, but with a
span of 72" it is quite a bit bigger (48" for the Zagis see www.Zagi.com). The Mongo Jr is a product of BASH
Enterprises and is (visit: www.fatlion.com/bash/index.html) mainly made from
light Styrofoam, with an EPP leading edge, just as the Zagi LE or Zagi THL).
Last year I spent May in the UK going to electric fly ins, shopping and visiting
friends. In London I found small podded 400-size fans from Graupner (Graupner # 1380) and as usual I used my trusted electric
Zagi THL as a test platform. With eight 500AR it almost flew with the fan on top. Later I shoehorned an Aveox 1114/4Y into the
fan, but the power draw was not really as much as I wanted, so it would be a pretty lame flyer.
I had received, through a friend in California and a Romanian Swede (who took
the package as hand baggage all the way to Sweden) a Mongo Jr kit.
My California friend flies his Mongo Jr with a MaxCim motor nowadays, and I had
planned to do likewise. I had added a gearbox or beltdrive to my 1114/4Y and a hefty propeller and then tried it on my Studio
'B' Vulcan, but I never got it to work - up like a rocket and down like a V-2 Buzz-bomb.
For the Californian, see Tom Rust's Manta Ray:
(URL: www.aricraft.com/manta.html)
And the beltdrive broke, or the motor, or both. That plane doesn't like the weight of
a motor and battery, as simple as that! Not even with a brushed motor would it fly well! It will be scrapped, soon!
That plane was the first I reinforced with CF rods and my powered Zagi THL was
the second, by the way, see (home.beseen.com/hobbies/jebbushell/tord/tord.htm)
I then found a bigger 600-sized podded Graupner fan, # 1374, and I figured that
that fan combined with the Aveox 1114/4Y might do the trick, so I again resurrected my powered Zagi THL, and with eight
500AR it flew quite well - possibly a little heavy, and it needed longer endurance. It was around 2 minutes and that's too short in
my book! The fitting of a motor of the same diameter as a 400 in a fan designed for 600s was a bit tricky, but easily done with a
Dremel and a router.
With ten RC2000s (old and a little tired) it came alive on the test bench, but all
those cells would be just too heavy for the little Zagi, which already showed signs of overloading.
Now it was quite easy to come to the conclusion that I needed more wing area, to
distribute the weight of 10-12 RC2000s over, and suddenly I remembered the abandoned Mongo Jr kit. With a minimum of
strapping tape, and a few CF rods instead, it took form quickly. Two Multiplex FLs were fitted to routed pockets in the wings and
an 2" thick EPP insert between the wing halves gave room for battery compartment, rx and the pylon for the fan. The
pylon couldn't be simpler:
Take two bits of 1.5 mm birch plywood, with the outline of a typical jet engine
pylon and tape them together along the front and rear. Insert two 1 mm CF rod scraps, to stiffen it up and insert the fan pod's
flange between the plywood sheets - secure with hot glue. The brushless has many too many leads to fit in the hole in the pod, so
I simply cut a slit from the rear in the shroud and the centrebody, vertically - very simple with a Dremel cut-off wheel. Then you
just tape the leads together as a flat cable and insert it into the slot - couldn't be easier.
The lower end of the pylon is glued into the EPP and again secured with hot glue
and the flat cable of leads from the brushless is drawn downward in the lee of the pylon and connected to the Aveox ESC. Up
fron it the RC2000 pack buried, and a short nose is added for extra crash protection and as a possible point to fit balancing
weights :-)! As I wrote, I used a minimum of strapping tape, as, the two 2 mm CF rods on top are perfectly capable to handle any
bending loads. These are parallel to the leading edge, but behind the EPP zone, as to be protected in a crash - the front one
immediately behind the EPP and the rear 5.5" further back ending near the wing tip/trailing edge corner.
Covering was done with Oracover (aka Ultracote), plus some textile tape (TESA),
as abrasive protection on the leading edge and helping in holding the servos, batteries and cables in place.
A Tord Hook is fitted slightly in front of the CG, as bungee will be the normal
launch method!
(home.beseen.com/hobbies/jebbushell/tord/tord.htm)
Dry test runs give around 260W and as the plane weighs 4 lbs it isn't too bad! I
might add two more cells after the first test flight :-)!
I had planned to use two Graupner fan's but one of them is in need of service -
imbalance in the fan (shouldn't have left the factory)!
I want to thank Mr Iljescu (who carried the kit across the Atlantic), Tom Rust
(who assisted in the buying of the kit and other things), Bill Swingle (BASH, advice) and Bob Kress (advice) for all the help. And
as usual Tom Hunt and Richard Tapp for advice and encouragement!
First flight tomorrow morning!
Success!
From follow-up email
The Mongo fitted into my car with just inches to spare (the distance from the
windscreen to the rear of the trunk is possibly 90" - my Mongo Jr is over 74"! We arrived to the field by the sea filled
with expectations, me and my assistant, the master builder. Slight wind and some cumulus clouds, just perfect for a test flight!
We laid out the catapult (25 ft of thickest black surgical tube you can find, plus 30
ft of 1/3" bungee rope and 30 ft of kevlar line.
Tested the systems, all go! The first launch power off, and then full throttle! Steady as a rock, and then the motor stopped. Glided back majestically, for more impressive than the Trick R/C B-2A! Very relaxing, rock steady and not a hint of flutter at any speed! Nor any Dutch Roll - impressive!
Conclusion:
The Mongo Jr flew like a dream, but I did have big problems with intermittent
power. I guess there is some sort of RF problem (as the servos worked all the time), that needs to be sorted out. Any guess? The
single-conversion Futaba was placed close to the end of the battery pack and just in front of the fan, while the Aveox ESC was
sitting behind the fan, opposite to the rx, so to speak! All servo leads twisted, of course!
The last launch was a full power launch and as sweet as pretty as can be. The
Mongo Jr, with roughly 250W in, had a climb ability that was far beyond my wildest dreams - fans really increase in efficiency at
speed! So if I get control of the coughing and burping motor I'm in heaven! 200 meters was reached in seconds, and had I not had
the power problems I might have gone much higher (official altitude limit for most of the area is 200 meters) ...
Well invested money! So while a big mother, a sweet one!
Without Graupner's fan and the Aveox 1114/4Y it wouldn't have been even half as
fun!

Some Fan Test Results
From: Tord S. Eriksson
Ovralidsg.25:5, S-422 47 Hisings Backa, Swedentord@natverkstan.net
If reply difficulties - use tord@mindless.com
A few months back I acquired two 600-size podded fans from Graupner, that I
decided could do with some more power, and as long as the motors use 1/8" (3.2mm) shafts anything goes, within reason.
After having communication problems with AstroBob I reverted back to the now
discontinued Aveox 1114/4Y. This motor is much smaller diameter than any 600 motor I know of (looking most like a 480), but
that is a blessing here as it allows cooling air to pass on all sides around the motor. No problem of overheating ever!
It was a little time consuming to make the motor fireway cum lid for the fan to fit
the Aveox, but a small Dremel router and a countersink fixed that easily, after I'd found out how to!
I had made a trial fit in Graupner's smaller (2") podded fan (designed for
400s - thus ideal for 1114/4Y), but I needed a higher load, thus either a bigger fan or a bigger battery! My conclusion, after
having flown the 3" fan on a Zagi THL foam glider wing was that it wasn't optimum for a THL, but OK! In other words,
with an 8 x 500AR pack you’re better off with a propeller, even if the landing outs are much easier now! Stop the fan and land,
as simple as that!
The next step towards perfection will be a Mongo Jr. flying wing and eventually
two Graupner 3" fans :-)! Around 12 x RC2000 would be ideal, I think, and we'll surely have vertical performance
immediately!
As so often with electric power, one easily forgets to keep the wingloading in
check, so slow speed glide ratios are never impressive, and this certainly was the case with the Zagi THL, which eventually
weighed more than my old Zagi LE!
As it needs more batteries to get decent flight times, weight would go through the
roof in no time! I guesstimate the flight times to about 4 minutes after one charge, too little for my liking and yet no sparking
performance!
The reason I tend to experiment with foam models is that the prototyping is so fast,
compared to conventional built-up designs! A day, at the most, at the building board and you have a new model to play with :-)!
If you find a combination that works perfectly, just make a glassed, or built-up
copy, if it is super lightness and finish you want!
Some industrious guys makes perfect finished foamies. I don't, but Oracover sure
helps the process along to that goal!
Tord,
Sweden

Northeast Electric Aircraft Technology
From: Tom Hunt Email: THunt95147@aol.com
This September, the Silent Electric Flyers of Long Island are holding a "follow
on" electric meet to continue the nearly 2 decade tradition of the promotion of electric model flight in the US started by the
Keystone R/C Club of Hatfield, Pa.
The KRC members put on an excellent show for so many years. I personally
attended the last 7. Not single-handedly, but certainly, this show influenced more people to try electric model flight than any other.
With over 250 pilots and a couple of thousand of spectators the last few
years.... their "influence" was certainly being displayed.
SEFLI would like to build on this tidal wave....Many modelers have asked to
resurrect the event. There is a desire, there is a way, there is a site!!!
On Sept 22, 23, 24th of this year.... and hopefully for many years to come, The
NEAT (Northeast Electric Aircraft Technology) Fair, will be held a little farther north than Allentown Pa., in Downsville, NY.
This site was acquired with the help of Joe Beshar and his friend "Ski." A campground, along the east branch of the
Delaware River, has a lot to offer, not only to the modeler, but the vacationer. The new site will obviously be closer for some,
farther for others, but the beauty of this place, and the immense flying field is worth the extra drive.
A TREMENDOUS grass field, REAL toilets/showers, more than enough room to
grow well past the size the largest KRC did, and best of all.... at a fair price to the organizers....
The meet will be "hosted" by SEFLI, but will also be supported by the
Grumman Wingnutz R/C Squadron (a mixed wet/electric club) and individuals from wet/electric clubs in the Tri-state area....
making this affair a real "group effort" of modelers dedicated to the advancement of electric flight.
Two websites to visit:
The Virtual Home of the NEAT Fair, hosted by Gabe Baltaian of NY Blimps ( a
SEFLI member, and terrific inventor) can be reached at: www.nyblimp.com/NEAT.htm
The site is still under construction and will be "fluid" for some time, visit
it often for updates.
The other is the Peaceful Valley campgrounds..... the virtual site to the
"physical" site where the event will be held. See them at: www.peaceful-valley.com
If the NEAT website does not answer all your questions, you may email us at
Neatfair@aol.com. Gabe Baltaian has done a wonderful job with the NEAT fair website
If you plan on attending (and flying) please pre-register (form on the site). If you
plan on coming but don't plan on flying, please also use the separate form there too. Both will help us and the campsite owner
plan the event.
Pre-registration fees are fully refundable, just in case you cannot make it.
Pre-registration does a few good things.. (1) it will save the modeler a few bucks. (2) It will help SEFLI plan the event (3) it will
warn us of any "overloaded" frequencies and give modelers a chance to change them if they can. (4) SEFLI is not a
cash rich club, it will allow some working capital to get the snowball started.
ALL fliers must hold an AMA or MAAC card.
There are over 200 campsites available, a few B+B rooms and two cabins. You
are responsible for making your own reservations with PV.
Although only verbal at this point... many of the "BIG" electric vendors
have pledged to come. As the vendors "officially" respond, we will list them on the site.
Response to the announcement of the event at the WRAM show was
tremendously encouraging. SEFLI will not promise a first year re-coup of all that the previous KRC's were, but it should big quite
big still!!
Event Directors have been selected for the three day event:
Tom Hunt representing the Grumman Wingnutz R/C Squadron will be the ED on Friday.
Bob Aberle representing SEFLI (host club) will be the ED on Saturday.
Joe Beshar representing the Old-Time Eagles of NJ will be the ED and close on Sunday.
Hope to see you there....
and lets all give an electric round of applause to KRC for all the years they gave us!!
Regards,
Tom Hunt and all of SEFLI
