[RCSE] Hs 85

I had a similar problem with HS 85's. When I stripped a gear, I found that the spline did not have a ball bearing in the head.  I checked 5 other HS85's that were all order at the same time, they were all missing their ball bearings. Hitec is suppose to be sending me ball bearings for the lo

RE: [RCSE] re: wind meters

I used to think I need a wind meter for paragliding - until the day I nearly killed myself by launching into a wind that my wind meter told me was a safe speed. That was the last time I used it, there is nothing wrong with the meter and I consider it accurate (it is quite a good one) but very ofte

RE: [RCSE] re: wind meters

I too have had acceptable results with the Dwyer's. Besides the only reason I ever measure the wind is either simple curiosity OR so that I'll have a value to tell friends who weren't there. Naturally I don't care too much about accuracy for that. :-) Bill Swingle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Janesville,

Re: [RCSE] re: wind meters

Barry, FWIW, I have had a "Dwyer liars" for about 15 years now. I have found that it is fairly accurate, at least for what we have to know at the slope. Most of the trick to using it is holding it properly, directly into the wind, and at a slight angle TOO the wind advancing up the slope. Has

Interesting thought, but I think that practicality is that _something_ WILL get burned. Anybody out there care to comment on the neon pilot light and shut off voltage? How about the dimmer itself? - Original Message - From: "Jeb Bushell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tom Koszuta" <[EMAIL PRO

Geez, don't waste your money. These "wind meters" are often referred to as "Dwyer liars". I have one and found it useless. Barry >Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2002 08:52:14 -0500 >From: Andy Roberts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "Soaring (E-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Wind Meters >Message-ID:

Re: [RCSE] Flap and aileron servos

I've seen a Hades DS'd before with 85 plastic geared in the ailerons (I've been told that plane did about 130 mph when fully wrapped up). 225 is probably too big for most planes (depending on how extreme you fly) and add unnecessary weight. Plastic geared servo's don't have much slop and won'

[RCSE] OT: Excel formula

I'm trying to develop a scoring sheet in Excel. I need to know how to reference a cell given a value, i.e. "if the number entered has a range between 250 and 299, then multiply it times cell C16, if the number entered has a range between 300 and 349, then multiply it times cell C17", etc. I know
