Re: [RCSE] Always the same discussion

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)

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

What the heck did we do before RCSE??? What a great resource Mike L. is providing!!! I received a number of good responses but went with the basic method suggested by David Schat and The Gordy which was to heat a wet towel in the microwave (dish towel for 4 minutes)and wrap and twist. So I

[RCSE] 5125 vs 368

I've already heard from a friend he prefers Hitec's 5125 digital aileron servocs to JR's 368. Any thoughts/opinions/experience on this comparison for aileron and flap application? Thanks, Dave RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send subscribe and unsubscribe requests to

[RCSE] Motor selection for the Omega Poly Sailplane

Hi All, I have decided to buy this EP sailplane after reading so many good reviews about it. Note, this would be my first r/c glider. :) My question is what would be the best Engine/Gear/Prop combination for this EP sailplane?. Many modelers are using expensive brushless motors with a high

[RCSE] Is this thing on?

Hmm... sometimes I can post sometimes not Anyhow... Greetings to those who have met me and my Omega. The question is this. If you had 2500$ and wanted to be competitive in f3j and standard td contests... what airplanes would you buy. I said airplanes- I know in some cases you cant fully

RE: [RCSE] Re: LSF Request..reply

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

Hi All, If you're on your way to Soar Utah, the winds are blowin'. It appears that we'll have around 85 pilots this year, based upon pre-registration and verbal commitments. Raffle sponsors have been good to us http://www.silentflyer.org/su2002_sponsors.htmlhttp://www.silentflyer.org

Re: [RCSE] Is this thing on?

Use the money to subsidize flying everyday instead of working. That will be the most productive way to become a winner. Serious, practice will get you further than a new plane. See it all the time. Steve I need practice Meyer At 02:15 AM 8/29/2002 +, chipwillis2002 wrote: The question

[RCSE] NiMH packs

Any problems in using 4 NiMH 1660 mah cells as an Rx pack? I have 8 cells left over from a Stylus back up pack that never was much good... batteries were not tight enough and would break contact occasionally. I've since replaced it with a better one. These 8 cells would give me 2 1600 mah Rx

Re: [RCSE] NiMH packs

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

Re: [RCSE] Is this thing on?

Hey Chip, Your question is fairly open ended here. I assume you mean planes only and you already have the radio gear. Also, where you fly in relation to your local conditions also make some planes that work better in some locations poor in others due to local conditions. Also, the best

RE: [RCSE] The Bozo method to Straighten Fusion Fuse

Of course- this self repair was a result of the Coreolis effect. Good thing Bozo lives in the northern hemisphere. Had he done this in, say Australia - the problem would have been exacerbated :-) -Original Message- From: Phil [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
