Re: [RCSE] Skegs!

And you have 3 ft to get 100 and what 6' to get a 95?? No need for skegs. T Skegs! I see it's that time or the year again. Hashing over why we should or shouldn't use skegs. My two cents are: If you want a contest with no skegs, then attend an F3J contest! We invite the participation

Hello all, Someone mentioned plans out there somewhere to make glider boxes out of Coroplast. Although I am quite sure I could manage a box myself, I'd like to make a NICE one! Anyone know a website where those plans might reside??? Any info would be helpful! Thanks! Brian

Re: [RCSE] comment on skegs.NATS

Fellas, Just to set the record straight about the NATS and RES Skegs... RES was a classification sent to the AMA and voted upon by YOUR sailplane RC Rules committee. There is one guy per district... This new RES classification, contained the no skeg rule in it. The supposed reason was that

[RCSE] DLG launching in high wind?

The other day I crack the tip near the peg launching in 15-20 mph winds. I layed the tip on the ground before launching but the wind was already picking it up before running forward. After running forward then rotating around it was during the downwind area of the rotation that it cracked.

[RCSE] comment on skegs.LSF Leadership ?

Mr..Carr, The LSF had nothing to do with the AMA rule change, for RES... which is the only Official AMA event that does not allow skegs. NO other events are affected by this rule at this time. YOUR RC Soaring Rules committee, put this rule in place and no one not even you apparently objected.

[RCSE] LSF links

Greetings! In response to my request to action pictures many suggested that I go to the LSF page. Down at the bottom of the page I found links to the Nats photos. None of the pictures load for me. Is the site having problems or is it me (actually my computer)? Thanks, Bill -- It comes

Re: [RCSE] Coroplast glider box - plans???

Is there a reason for using coroplast over cardboard? I researched a local firm that advertises Boxes to Size and for a box 6X12X60 it was only $8.09 in quantity 12. I'm sure if a group got together, they could come up with some reasonable quantity, and find a local supplier for same.

RE: [RCSE] One more comment on skegs.

I suppose I should weigh in with my opinions for what little they are worth. I have not been in the competition scene too long - only about 8 years, but my recollection is that dorking was way more prevalent before the easy availability of commercial skegs than it is now. Competition planes are

[RCSE] HLG launch preset on Profi 3030

To other 3030 owners: I'm trying to set up a HLG preset on a momentary switch on my 3030. The obvious approach is FIX.VAL, but unfortunately neither elevator or rudder has the FIX.VAL attribute. It appears I can use AUX channels instead of elevator and rudder (since AUX channels *do* have

Has anyone ever had the Uline tape get old and not stick well? My tape is about 2-3 years old and I did the 3m77 but it wants to come up. Not good considering I have to fly this weekend. Next question anyone ever use velcro to keep the Tiplets on and if so did it work well? Thanks Glenn
