I'd say that your non-existent ping indicates that your histart doesn't have
much stored energy by the time your plane reaches altitude.
And, I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing because it means your
using most of the histart's energy. If you design the histart to have energy
left over,

Ok I'll by that. But I'm watching other people do it on the same

50 ft of red rubber tubing and about 150 ft of 80lb mono with a small
chute. The rubber is in good shape and is not dried out or checked. At

Hopefully Photosuite has a similar feature.
Well, you learn something new every day.
The ping.
As the wind goes down you need a stronger hi start. Conversely as the wind
goes up you need less.
Wind is required but usually not much. As you launch your glider at about a
hundred feet you go sideways then after that direction you reverse and in
the back and forth pattern attempt to

There's no sense trying to optimize your hi-start launches until the
hi-start configuration has been finalized. The Torrey Pines Gulls (TPG)
have decided on 100 feet of the red Hobby Lobby or Gyro Hobby rubber, but
the type and amount of line is still in question. 200 feet of 80 pound

Hi everyone,
I've just received delivery of a Dynaflite Bobcat, and as I'm still
finishing off my current project, I was wondering if there are any
suggestions of modifications for better performance of the Bobcat that I
should be aware of before starting?
Thanks

try www.vth.de it's a german site but they have lots of scale plans for
powered and unpowered flight.
If you search for Engl. Sprache or just sprache you'll get all the
english plans.

Sure, I'll make a report on the evening of Sunday 12-8. The use of
hi-starts to launch gliders in a TD contest isn't a new concept as Frank
Weston of WACO and Magic fame lobbied for this method in the early 90's.
Of course, the reason he wanted to see the use of hi-starts was that the
Just got some 5125 servos to install in a new model, and I find that the angular throw at the servois only 60 deg.+/-, even with the Stylus set to 150%travel volumeon the flap function. Not really enough to get needed flap deflection with max allowable servo arm length. Have I missed something
