sorry. but geese and ducks (canards) look alike in the air,
I recently set up a new hi-start using 100' of Hollyday 3 meter rubber.
I usually use #18 braided nylon line but this time I couldn't find any at
any of the local Wal-Marts so I decided to try some mono filament line
instead.
I used 330' of 50 lb. test line and it seemed to work ok.
I did notice

can I go with standard radio gear and a non-computerized 4 channel radio?
5-6 servos is expected of course but what type of ship would be well suited
for this? I want to build something a bit bigger later this year, in
Gordon.
we only use mono, 'down under.' It is lighter for the model to
lift, on launch, and also stretches a little to allow a 'ping' at the end.
I also find that if the high start line falls into scrub, it is less likely
to tangle, with the mono. We also use mono, pretty well

OK, should I say lateral?
To be even less confusing, essentially putting one wing tip just off the
ground, the other pointing to the stars, and balancing the fuse.
Trying to position ballast at the exact, or as close to neutral as possible.
Ideas, other than TLAR with fingers?

Ryan,
There is a Pierce Arrow Paragon on Ebay right now that would fit your bill
for something bigger that would only require 3 servos, i.e. rudder, elevator
and spoiler and could be flown with a non computer 4 channel radio. BTW,
they fly good too.

Hi Kevin
Thanks for your post!
Regarding the FM capture effect. I wondered abt that, so I asked an old
friend and an RF design expert about a6 weeks ago. He told me that the FM

What is the latest method for cutting foam cores? I'm wondering if I may be
out of date.
Personally, I always use two cuts. One for the top and one for the bottom.
However, I've just seen some cores which appear to do it differently. With
impressive results I might add.
Am I behind the times?
Hey Randy.
I believe you!!! I have read lots of 'knowlegable'
replies from list members and on further questioning, find that they
themselves are 'newbies' and in some instances have not even flown
sailplanes. they get their answers from improvising on others replies.
I have the above radio for sale.
It is NIB, never even opened.
It is on channel 33.
This is the 3 model type (aircraft/helicopter/glider), 8 model memory, 6
channel computer radio. It has 4 102 servos included.
Asking $250 and I will pay shipping. Tower has them for $280 so this is $30
