[RCSE] filiment tape

2002-08-25 Thread Randy Bullard
I can't find 3M filament tape used for building foam planes. I've looked in Office Max, Office Depot and Home Depot. Who carries it? Thanks, Randy RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send subscribe and unsubscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

2002-08-25 Thread Winchdoc
Hey John, I sounds like trouble in the brush area for sure. We are pretty rough on our motors, we push 12V thru a 6V motor, then we power retrieve for the next launch. This puts a lot of electrical as well as mechanical wear on the brushes and commutator. I change out brushes every season, same

Re: [RCSE] re: Problems with RD6000

2002-08-25 Thread Mark Drela
In a nutshell - when his aerial is fully/partially extended his RX doesn't respond at all. As soon as you touch the extended aerial with the bare hand or fully collapse it, the RX responds. My RD6000 once had similar behavior -- very flaky RF output. The problem was a poor connection with the

[RCSE] Flaperons v. Spoilerons

Hi All, I would appreciate any comments on pros and cons of Spoilerons and Flaperons. I have a couple of hotliners and have set them up with Spoilerons ( they have ailerons outboard ). I have an SR X-250 and the like ( full span ailerons ) and have set them up with Flaperons. Is this the best

It's been my experience that using flaperons for landing is a bad thing. They do slow you down very well, but they also kill you aileron response at low speeds. Basically, if you think about the geometry of it, you can end up with a situation of cranking the stick over and having the aileron on

Yes! The 3 position (launch/normal/speed) is on the left were we need it for gliders on the Heli version. Only the 9Z allows you to change trim assignments. You can get most of the questions answered at http://www.futaba-rc.com/faq/faq-9c.html Maurice --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL

[RCSE] Hang gliding - Off topic

2002-08-25 Thread Mike Bailey
I remember awhile back that I heard about a show on racing hang gliding. Does anyone know if it will be on again soon? I recently got the wings channel and would like to see it even though I would not be crazy enough to try it. If some one has it on tape I would be interested in a copy.

I'm in the market for a +-60 electric sailplane (speed 400, 480 or?), with a middle-of-the-road cost. Glass fuse and ailerons are a must. Does anyone have something like this for sale or maybe point me in the right direction (web site, mfg., etc.) ThanksDan
