RE: [RCSE] Best vehicle for RC transport

I'm looking at trading my 95 Dodge Grand Caravan in on a Nissan Murano - it's part-time 4WD, great gas mileage, 250HP and over 6 feet with the back seats folded down. Nice handling, comfortable and lots of neat options too. Not cheap though. Eric Calgary, Alberta -Original Message- From:

Title: Message I was required to unlock my Sportube and suitcaseat LAX last weekend, fortunately they do the inspections in front of you at the United baggage counter. I'd used a Ty-Rap on the Sportube because I'd misplaced the lock - they cut it off tried to us a twist tie to close it. I

I'm going down to California for business next week, and will stay over to visit the Mid-Winter Electric Funfly in San Diego. I probably won't bring a plane (short notice - nothing ready) but would like to visit some good hobby shops. Any recommendations? I'm supposed to be free on Thursday and

A slight problem with your math here - 1/20 of a second (50 msec) is around 1/4 of the typical servo travel time (end to end), not 4 times. Unlikely you'd notice that even on a pylon racer or an aerobat. Thanks Eric Weder

A good approximation but John made one mistake. The 200m vertical will be integrated into the path of the plane. Imagine the ground distance as being in a straight line (unfold the laps), now you have a right triangle where the plane is travelling down the hypotenuse, with base of about 640m and

Bill, was the plane you were riding in 2400m above the lake or is that how tall the hill is? Pretty big for a hill! Eric impressed. It's a really tall slope with a great view of the lake *2400 meters* below. I was fortunate to ride along during a morning flyby of the slope and got an
