All WS and EWS flyers: We (NFFS) are considering some live zoom help sessions. These would be somewhat informal, probably initially focusing on trimming, probably with an opening summary and then Q&A and interaction. Format not certain yet. Ideally, some of you would call in from the gym and we could do some live trim adjustments. First off, is there interest? Second, when would be good time: During day, evening, weekend?

Coach Chuck

I would be interested! Evenings work best for me, ideally starting around 5 PM CST. How do we get started?

1: Yes we are definitely interested in joining
2: We are actually planning to tune our project tomorrow 12 EST, we were wondering if there is any possibility of a session then.

Hey guys:

I just saw this now. Unfortunately Sunday 12 EST was 10 MST for me, and I was in church.

Let me look over the week and see what we can do on an afternoon at 4pm MST (5pm CST). How would Tuesday work? Not committing yet, need to make arrangements.

Coach Chuck

Vjs,

Sorry, just seeing your request too. I was at flying practice with one of my HS teams at noon today.

Brian T

Sorry about the short notice, but it looks like Monday March 7 will work best for the coaches. We wills tart at 5pm CST (4pm MST, 6pm EST) and go as long as needed.

This will be an informal session, with plenty of Q&A. You can join and listen/participate, or even better, join from you gym ready to fly!

Coach Brian and I will manage the session from home, so we can speak about trimming, answer questions, etc., but we are relying on participants to hopefully be able to demonstrate issues with their planes.

The session will be via zoom:

If you are flying, be sure you have plenty of rubber motors, or fresh batteries for EWS, knives and other tools, glue and accelerator, in addition to your regular flying equipment. Be prepared to measure your CG and incidence as needed. Please be ready to follow the plane with the camera (cell phone better than computer for this)

If you are not flying but can describe any issues you have, it would also be helpful if you have your plane and tools ready as well.

Coaches are welcome and encouraged to attend with the students.

We'll see how this works!


Coach Chuck

Thanks to those who participated today. While the seminar focused on trimming, most of the participants were EWS, and so there was significant discussion of the motor/prop/cap system, charging, etc.

We plan to release the video of the session and will post a link here when it is ready.

We will look at dates/times for another session, perhaps try more of a focus on WS and rubber motors.
