Another huge issue of <strong><strong>RC</strong>SD</strong>! <strong>11</strong>0 pages!<br />
Marc Pujol continues from where he left off in the October<br />
issue ("F5J Altitude," p. 10) with a complete examination of his<br />
Genoma 2 airframe, from initial concept through its evolution to an<br />
extremely well behaved contest entry.<br />
<strong><strong>RC</strong>SD</strong> was contacted by Ole<strong>RC</strong>.com earlier this year and given<br />
the opportunity to review the Toba F3B/F3F sailplane and the<br />
KST DS125MG servo. Fellow Seattle Area <strong>Soaring</strong> Society<br />
member Andy Page volunteered to review the Toba, while we<br />
handled the KST servo. Our sincere thanks to Ole<strong>RC</strong>.com for<br />
providing the review samples and particularly to Mei who handled<br />
a number of concerns quickly and professionally.<br />
Mark Nankivil was CD for the World <strong>Soaring</strong> Masters once again<br />
this year and he managed to forward nearly 2.5GB, more than<br />
350 images, to <strong><strong>RC</strong>SD</strong>. As you can imagine, going through this<br />
collection and choosing which to use was definitely a long-term<br />
project. MIke Reagan's write-up on the WSM event first appeared<br />
on the <strong>RC</strong>SE, and is reproduced here with his permission.<br />
Martin Pilny usually photographs F3B events, but he did attend<br />
the F3J Samba Cup <strong>2012</strong> near the village of Sebranice, Czech<br />
Republic, where Samba Models (home of the Pike series) is<br />
located. His photographs are filled with color and superbly portay<br />
the "flavor" of the event.<br />
And Stuart Bradley sent a few photos of his model storage unit, a<br />
reclaimed styrofoam box. We couldn't resist sharing it with <strong><strong>RC</strong>SD</strong><br />
readers.<br />
Thanks again to everyone who contributed to this issue!<br />
