Re: [RCSE] Power Tube

In order for such structure to work properly electrically, few things need to be review. 1) Constant compression part (not necessary a Spring) that take/place slacks due to temperature coefficient of expansion in the battery and the Tube itself, WHILE maintaining rated electrical contact

[RCSE] RCSE: endplate effect for Rudder

Along the path investigating yaw control induce drag and efficiency at V-tail, I came to realize that single-sided-rudder-fin has benefit from end plate effect that doubles the fundamental AR in the Cdi formula. The doubling is caused by end plate effect by the horizontal stabilizer. For

[RCSE] Re: Why Vtails?

Without contradicting all the assertion for V-tails, there is one fact. V-tail has lower yaw efficiency. That yaw function results in higher energy dissipation or losses. To understand that, we may consider two efficiencies, E1 and E2. E1, is associated with the induced force 'normal' to the

[RCSE] Why the bike winch

Hey folks, I cannot help but notice this thread is interesting. Specially the Sucking bike winch. This cross through my mind but I am not in position to try it out. If we can ground launch winch a glider without damage, consider a 2nd turn around replacing the winch and attach the 2nd end

Before a single $ need be spent. Consider this. Swap the Rx of the two plane in question (right, swap them and not just replace them). Disconnect all servos and redo them one at a time. Cut off section of the Rx antenna to a length equal to the metal push rods. Electrically connect remaining
