READ the rules. Section 3.1.6c states that the spoilers/brakes must extend ABOVE the top surface of the wing when deployed. Tape the brakes closed and have at it. .bc([EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.widomaker.com/~conk Williamsburg, VA 23185 On Thu, 29 Aug 2002, Chris Adams

[RCSE] Centering problems (was stylus problem)

2002-08-29 Thread Les Grammer
1/16 re-centering isn't very much, particularly in the flaps. Is there *any* possibility that you're chasing slop in the linkages/servo? I've watched flyers chasing centering problems time and time again, only to discover (when you sit down and physically try moving the flaps w/out the

Not quite true. SC squared contests are divided into 3 classes (master, expert sportsman), so you have to use the overall results, not the class results for LSF. Yup, that means a 1st, 2nd or third *overall* if you are going the place route. (however a top 10 finish in a single contest will

One other relavant point... the packs I'd create will be used in planes with 3 to 5 digitals servos. I believe the demand is greater with digitals and I wanted to make sure the NiMH were up to it. Thanks, Dave RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send subscribe and
