Heading to Newport RI for IOM regionals. All new winch, sheets, and spent an hour + tuning my rig to the mm. hope it helps. Nice to do this in my basement. At least it looks fast! thx Steve Landaue…
Michigan RC Sailing Club is hosting the first-ever Region 4 DF95 Championship in Dundee, Michigan on June 17-19, 2022. The 11 competitors currently registered are some of the best RC sailors from around the USA and Canada. By regatta time…
Vaughn has his first hand toss glider and he can throw it 20 feet! He absolutely LOVES being at the RC glider field.
One of my favorite pictures of her.
A collection of photos from my first IOM regatta! I sailed Calvin’s beautiful orange V9 in Sarasota Florida’s annual event. Thank you Calvin! It’s a great boat! Fond memories!
I had a bunch of fun and knocked some RC sailing rust off my brain. This was a hyper-competitive event. I used a borrowed boat (V9) which was great! The amount of fouls and “incidental contact” on the starting line…
An almost perfect parody of folks who can’t let go of fiat currency and the fact that classic fiat currencies such as the US dollar, Euro, Chinese Communist Yuan, or Russian Ruble are obviously corrupt (the last two are extraordinarily…
Space is the ultimate strategic high ground. This domain is divided into various zones. First there are the orbits around the Earth: low-Earth orbit, medium-Earth orbit, and geosynchronous orbit. Ancillary to those orbits are the Lagrange points, which are the orbits…

In a sailplane, which lands very slow already, there is ZERO REASON, to be dangling on the tail close to stall speed at anytime on final approach, at flare, or at touchdown. The video below demonstrates why. Notice the huge…
Kawa impressions of AS33. Not the best choice for Grand Prix unfortunately because the smaller wing area, ala the JS3, ala most modern 18m sailplanes. Shocker. I STRONGLY maintain that it is utterly unfair, illogical that in the a “600…
Only 12 oz. fully built including all servos (6) and batteries! Magnificent workmanship. Delicate! I have begun the build at Larry’s shop! 2 weeks I’m guessing until 1st soar!

Lake Lanier sailing club is a mega complex with more cool boats and classes than you can shake a stick at. Gorgeous campsites and area. It was a perfect day for a paddle. Unfortunately the weather forecast for the next…
Friday 1130am.Lake Lanier Sailing Club front porchAbsolutely beautiful day but as forecast, light air. The MC Class requires 5 knots to start a race. It’s going to be difficult to get that here on Lake Lanier today.
Registrants Follow the regatta here I’m getting ready to depart. Boat has been detailed by Dave Nickels and is ready to race. New Quantum sail is waiting for me at the yacht club. I’m leaving today and will arrive tomorrow…
I’ve created and am running a script that gathers Inreach data (Spot soon) and uploads it to the OGN to be visible on any website that gets OGN data. https://github.com/DavisChappins/InreachToOGN if you want to sign up and be visible. In fact, please…

105 mph and I was still 5th! It was a good day, a reasonable task call for the SSA GOBs, albeit very short as usual. Strong crosswinds on landing created some minor excitement. I could have gone much faster but…

It’s a long drive from Michigan, 26 hours nonstop…
I won my first RC soaring competition!!!! Something clicked today and I managed to win every round (six), and ended up throwing out a 1000. This did not feel real. The competition was very tough as usual, similar to the…
SATURDAY JUNE 5, 2021 EXTREME WINDS at the limits of FIA F3K competition were the key theme of this F3K competition day at the Greater Detroit Soaring and Hiking Club filed at Addison Oaks Park north of Metro Detroit. My…
*UPDATE* 3 June – The event title is now amended to ‘European Championship’ following consultation. That way we can look forward to a ‘successful’ European Championship rather than the likelihood of a ‘soft’, perhaps disappointing, Worlds. This action feels appropriate and fair with…
Flew with John Iacobucci in his Arcus M most of the flight. What an incredible day it was to fly. 6-8 knot climbs to 8000 AGL at times, clouds the whole way, some streeting later in the day. Absolutely perfect!…
