C/L Racing Rules needed

[pat king]

When I go to the AMA web site and click on the C/L Racing rules I get "PAGE NOT FOUND". I desperately need a set of those rules. If you can please email a .pdf to: patdk@aol.com

Thanks,  Pat

Not sure the ones for 2022 are out, but I don't think there was any substantial changes.

Thanks, Bill. This will give me what I need for now. We are deciding what events will be at our Midwest Regional C/L Championships. I was not sure of the differences between Mouse I and Mouse II.

Big difference, Pat, is that nobody flies Mouse II, only Mouse I

[Dave Hull]

Or "Outlaw Mouse:" reed valve with non-integral tank, shutoff, and full fuse if you want to go there. We had a couple around here that were fun. And some of the 1/2A Scalers that MM was talking about. Pretty much "run whut u brung" around SoCal lately....

Probably doesn't need mentioning, but.... one difference for organizers is the difference in line lengths and whether your circle markings are good.

I notified AMA about the broken link for the 2022-2023 CL Racing rules and it has now been fixed.

   Pat King already spelled out the particulars on the race. Jerry "Who" was Jerry Meyers, who was a really nice guy and tons of fun to be around, besides being a good racer in his own right. I used to see Jerry at the SIG contests and he would help run SIG's version of this race for Skyray .35s. Jerry used to fly R/C some also, and one year they awarded  him a special transmitter, which was a vintage EK-Logictrol  4 channel radio with some EX-Just handles attached to the control sticks!. The "who" part came from a story, and I hope I get it correct, where he was getting into an elevator at the hotel for a NATS or some other event, and former World Champion Pattern Flier Hanno Prettner was on the sane elevator. Jerry recognized him and announced "Hey your Hanno Prettner! Pleased to meet you! I'm Jerry Meyer" and stuck out his hand to shake hands and Hanno looked at him and asked " Jerry Who?"" And the rest is history once the story got around. If there is anyone that needs to correct me on any of this, feel free to do so. I miss Jerry and think of him often.

Yes Jerry was one of the greats in CL racing.    A few years before he left us he said he felt like he was being excepted as part of the racing community.  He was a class act and ready to help any body.

 Claiming rule,
 equal to suggested retail price of new Fox Stunt .35.

  Mecoa has them listed at $185. Might be a good way to get top $ for my engine

Big difference, Pat, is that nobody flies Mouse II, only Mouse I

     I want to see Class II Mouse, two guys with TeeDees, and the third with a Shuriken. From behind a solid transparent barrier.

[bob whitney]

that actually happened at the Nats  the last year 42 ft lines were used for mouse 2.. one shuriken,one Trivin home built doing 100mph and the TD about 75 or 80 .luckily we had 3 good pilots and we finished the complete 200 laps. the TD did a good job of staying out of the way. the TD guy had to keep running around the outside of the other two. i think it was the last time a TD made a final . 

[Dave Hull]

We ran a Cyclon here in Mouse II. Tiny glass toothpick on the front. The problem was the required pit stop--with the tiny glass toothpick. I ran a Mouse I on Mouse II lines against him. He smoked me on airspeed, but gave it all back and more during the pits. We ran these two against each other all season. The wins split out about 50/50. But by the time you get to the Nats, everybody better have their equipment sorted out, so you wouldn't expect a TD to win. I have also seen a little Pico .049 that was a screamin' jewel. If you can keep the crank in one piece.

   In the spirit of full disclosure, it's all magic to me, because while I am pretty certain I could build a competitive airplane for these events, I would have *zero chance* of flying it safely. I was failing to keep up with a Tee Dee 1/2A combat plane, until, mercifully, the crankshaft broke - almost 50 years ago!   My high-speed capabilities have only gone one direction since then.
