Japan Cordoba Championships
Last week, the Japanese Cordoba Aerobatic Championships were held.
55 pilots participated. In addition to the Japanese, participated: Joe Parisi from Australia (with an electric model for a half-copy of the WW2 aircraft) and several participants from Taiwan (or the Republic of China, which is not China). Three winners: 1) Shoichiro Nogome; 2) Masaru Muramatsu; 3) Masaru Hiki. An interesting case for the model. A few videos: Shoichiro Nogome (Shark Ellipse, electro)

FIFTY FIVE ENTRIES ! .

Theres a bit of other stuff too , on that U Tube channel .

[Jim Carter]

Awesome!  Thanks for sharing!  Lord knows, I wish I could do as well and these guys!

[john e. holliday]

Those guys are good.  Thanks for the photos and videos.

[Larry Renger]

Writing in my old Model Builder column, I once wrote about jap tissue. Whoa! That turns out to be an insult. Japanese or Nipponese if you please (or if you don’t please, use the correct term anyway).

Learn from my mistake. 

[Dave_Trible]

Boy that Hurricane design goes back decades.  I remember pics of them in the late 70s- 80s with Enya .45s.

Matt:

As per Larry Renger's suggestion, please change the title of this thread to Japanese Champs. They deserve the respect.

Bob Hunt

[Randy Cuberly]

They do indeed deserve the respect.

Masaru Hiki, one of the top three stunt fliers is the nicest gentleman I have met in a long time and one of the most exciting Stunt Fliers I have ever witnessed.

Also Kaz Minato is a great individual and has contributed a tremendous amount to our Sport.

I'm not sure if Kaz attended this contest as I didn't see him in the photos.

Both terrific Gentlemen, and great Stunt fliers

Roit , use ar going to have to too . Clic on ' modify ' & hit the TITLE , erase & rescript .
Was in a bit of a rush with it timing out & Originally posed title washing pre posting .
Thats my excuse anyway , after all the copy & pasteing .

Beautiful marvelous scenery they have over there. But NORTON was still the worlds best roadholder .
Have to be to get a 107 mph I o M lap on 75 Horsepower .  equivilant of maybe 117 with the circuit & tyre  improvements nowadays .
Lucky enough to be allowed to get in the race crouch on the start line on this at Pukekohe . After a delayed start .
Was told if I buggered of on it there might be words though . Not sure if I asked for a push .
Paul smarts Imola Ducati , too. in the pits .  Both 73 F-750 production derived racers . Pre TZ  Racer Production era .



Maybe we should get a Oceana Champs going Bi annually , to Rival the Euro Champs . Free board & lodging at Mecau . I'll have a word with the chairman .

That's the name of the PRODUCT, not the name of a nation or its people.

[Bob Hunt]

Actually, Paul, it is Japanese tissue, not that other name. That apparently is a slang term given to Japanese tissue by some in the hobby. I looked it up online and here's what it says:

Japanese tissue
Description: Japanese tissue is a thin, strong paper made from vegetable fibers. Japanese tissue may be made from one of three plants, the kōzo plant, the mitsumata shrub and the gampi tree. Wikipedia

In fact, I did type in that other name as a search, and only Japanese tissue came up.

I remember doing the How To Cover Models with Japanese Tissue video program with famed FF guru, Larry Kruse, and this subject came up. He was adamant that it was Japanese tissue, and that it should be displayed as such on the cover of the video/DVD, and in the titles on the actual video program. Of course he's only a many-time Nats FF scale champ who used the material for most of his long modeling career...

Indeed, very impressive flights from World Class Pilots.
Impressive the flight from Nogome with his electric Shark. Despite the high speed, the maneuvres are very exact in shape and size. Well, he placed 4th in Lndres last year!! Compared to the second video of the pilot with Enya-61 as engine, I measured 7.77 sec for Nogomes wingover compared to 8.61 sec for the Enya-powered plane. Assuming that both planes have comparable lap times in horizontal flight, nearly one second faster in the wingover sections makes me wonder why with electric it is so much more difficult to fly slower but still precise. Or why do electric planes need to fly faster to fly precise?
The time for the square eight that I measured was 13.32 sec for Nogome and 15.38 sec for the Enya-61 plane. OK, I cannot compare maneuvre size but still, the maneuvre speed of IC engines is somewhat slower.
So what can we do to make electric planes fly slower? A topic for the "Getting-All-Amped-Up" Discussion?

I spoke to Joe Parisi after he came back from the Competition where he came 5th.
He said it was hot, with variable wind and with the very high elevation the density altitude was great.
That is why they had to fly fast, so they could get the lift needed in the conditions.

Hello everyone! I am Chen David (FB same) from TAIWAN.
I am speaking for the first time.
I have participated in the Friendship Conference of Japan in September.
I only know a little English.
I will send a photo of the player in Japan.

[Air Ministry .]

Greetings David . welcome.

This is my second S Hurricane 30 , from the Aeromodellor sketch . ( I dont think entirely accurate - but flys well ) this one is 112 % .





Ive just refitted the wing & undercarrage . Was originally clockwise . Now Conventional .
( I accidently did the pushrod 38 or 50 mm overlength ! . Great . No Bounce or bobble with this one  - longer moment ) .
ST .46 & OS FP 40 fit .The wing is flat aft with blunt LE . V easy to fly . Tho not I think Mr Hara's airfoil - a dirct enlargement of the drg.
Plus one extra bay for the angled tips . The First was in N Z around 2002 , as per Drg. but with OS Max 35 S , Caudronised . Clockwise .

THIS is a REAL S Hurricane plan , if one searches for it .

Mr Hara and I, along with Bob Hunt have been long time friends although It's been awhile since we've been able to hang out together. Hara san is one of the coolest guys I've ever known!
