The GloBee racing plug is available in short(GB-1S) and long (cB-]L) versions. In thesemodels the tip glass virtually fills the cavity,so there is no lost chamb6r volums. Forconsisient starts, a voltage ot 1.2 to 1.Bv(measured wlttr the battery connected tothe piug) is recommended. As the firstGloBee developed, these racing plugs com-piled an enviable record on the 1975 tour-nament trail and are now being used bychampionship racers acrosg the country.
Users report an immediate increase inpower by simply switching to a GloBe€ R/Cplug. lt ieatures the same flat-wound spiralancl superior glass-to-metal sea{s as th6racing model for improved performance andlonger tife. An idle bar is added and a smallcavity provided for smoother idl€, b€tter lowspeed characteristics, and ideai transitionthrough tho power ranggs. R/C plugs comein two lengths-short (GB-2S) and long(GB-2L).

I:sCCR,DS FALL AT REGIO}IAIS
Several l'lorthi^rest competition records tumbleci at the i\rorth"vest ri,egionalConlrol Line Chanipionships, which were held exactJ-y a year after Flying iinesstarted keeping track of eonnpetibion records. For those who joined us late,FL acknowledges records by sending the current record-holders certifica0es"indicating their accompl:-sir.ments. Records can be set by any Northwest nocielerat an:/ contest. Sone d.ocu-mentiition is required for out-of-region ccntests.
Tae 1980 Regionals nob only produced several new regicnal records bubone national record. Scott iiewkirk of Seattler';ia.sh.1 knocked doivn the Al'L{Fornula lr0 speed record wlth. a Ll++,75. He actually oid it twice, first beingclocked at a considerably higher speed, but a cheik indicateo an ii.rproperline l-ength and he had to go again. The old Northrvest record, i^ras 117.88, alsoneld by iigr'ii(1ds I'like iiazel-also bettered that record at ttre Regionals.
Obl:er records set at the Regionals were i'iike liazelrs 2t29 rat raceheat (replacing his olcl record of 2t35), John Thompson?s Class If mouse finaLrace of I0.2b \replacing his old recorci of 11r39), Thompsonrs Goodyear featurerace of 7:4? (replaclng Hazelts 7t53) and iiick Salterrs slow rat feature ofI0:4I (e::arts a new record -- the o1o ones were rviped out by rules cbangee.Lestlve forget, I,larty PhilLips bettered his profile carrier score. t'arnir6a 208.9, replacing a 208.78. Hazelts l+253 rat final also is a record. -
liere are the complete records as of June I, 1980. .

NEI'X(IRK PRCD.iCES SFEED & F;ACII{G ENGINE- -buff fron Seattle, iy'ash.' is entering
prociuction of a new speed and racing :L5 engine. iJere is'a repoit on hisnFal(rFAcQ.
It al1 started out in the 9*y" of the early Rossis. They were hard. toget working right._'i;hen the Cox came out they were nuch ealier to get tocone cn pipe. so I started checking what made thL difference.
. :;'e11, the_bypasses seemed to be the culprits. ,rnd since the Cox had atwo-piece case, I declded to play around r.rith Lhem, The first thing I knewf had moved them &rour.d to whene- the bolts holding the case togethei vr€robeing run into.
?iris i-s lvhere the bar stock r:iotors carne in. I nacle."hem with a separa-,e
ill":,i:"1 i:,1r3';"1':*;::;","i3"i*:"li f;:"=l::?":'#3"I";rol"or'.1i3a ,,".ports, bhree ports, and four, five and sj_x ports.The bar stock engi.ne showed a lot of promise, but it rvorked so rtellthat I kept blowing them up. They 1et ne cievelop ori.t nany weak points thatT^,it t'ounci 'r;hen I goL an engine vrorking good.
- But, going to different ports trad chan6ed ny cri-ginaI plan. The originalplan.was to buiid a one-piece crankcase with nodiflied bypasses for Cox and-6r.r:.ossi internal pieces.
Now the bngine i.s totally new. It uses a four-port sLeeve, a Ia K&B6,5. The transfei ports are tola1iy my own anci it spoi.ts a l2-rrun'crankwhj-ch is available 9n1y in the 4.D. ,!5 and they are ver:r harci to coxie by.
i'iy fi.rst production batch of engines will be avaiiable in about ilemiddle of June.

NORTHIVEST SPORT COMBA!
PURPOSET To provide a eombat event where the ernphasis is on flying, andnot breaking airplanes. The event is inteded for Sunday flying
sessions so rules may be changed to suit local conditions, When this eventis sceduled for a contest, a firrn set of rules shall be provided in advance.
lvlODEt SPBCIFICATI0NST Aircraft must be of the sport type, such as the FliteStreak, Ri.ngrnaster, Yak-9, ete. Models shall be
decorated to resemble fu11 size aircraft. Model need not be from a kit,but must be similar to those described. Models intended for AivIA slow combatsuch as the Mongoose will not be eligible unless modified to resenble fullsize aircraft. Final decision as to whether a model will be allowed tocompete rests with the participants and the contest director.ENGIIIESr The only engine allowed is the Fox 35 StuntFLJELT The only fuel allowed is sport-stunt type (5F nitro)LIllESr Shall be .018" x 60', of mul-ti strand construction.STREAXERST As per AI{A rr.[esSCORINGT Cuts equal 1000 points each. Air time equals 1 polnt per second.
Kill e{ual.s same as a eut, and, also ends-the matlh.MATCH PR0CEDURET Matches will be flown according to nomral-AMA practice

allows first round losers a second chanee. Each eontes-tant will be allowed only one rnodel. In the event that a match winner breakshis rnodel during that match, he forfeits his position to the last person hebeat who still has a flyable model. This could be the person he just beat,or someone fron a previous round.
