Fred, thanks for the kind words. It's good to be back in the soaring game. Career and
family have stretched my free time in recent years, but I am really enjoying my foray
back into it.
BTW, Fred kicked out butts at the club contest. He is amazingly consistent!

I agree with John O'sullivan. I'm sorry you had a problem with Fred. But the
fact is, it's a great receiver regardless of the pin placement. End pins
often make them too long, while the M5 pins often make them too tall. It's a
moot point. I am sure Fred is fuming over the fact that you posted

Thanks for posting that excel file! That was just what I needed to convince
me to order a LoLo. It was really interesting to see the rounds in this
format and dude that was some really fine flying. Looked like rounds 4 and
5 were in some really tough air, but a 10 minute sled ride?

I understand that the new JR radios carry a warning NOT to Change the

I'm not sure what input Fred has in this matter. He is not manufacturing
the rec's, I think they are being fabricated elsewhere. Retooling may not
really be an option for this design at this point.
Hopefully, he is looking at maybe an 8 or nine channel rec for the future
using similar
Hi guys
OKmost of the radio manufacturers have very broadband RF sections on
their low to mid priced transmittersthose with no module. You can
change the crystal in these...but, like horizon noted...i wouldn't go over
15 or 20 channels one way or the other...you will end up with too
Joe,
check out http://xcsoaring.com/, I think that they have some articles on it.
You're right way kool, but I suspect that the equipment is bigger than our
contest airplanes will allow.

Just a tongue in check notice, but I am seeing this kind of header in many
of the contest around the area.
The rules change proposal cycle period is real close to being over.
Would someone Please !!! submit a rules change proposal to remove the skeg
limitation from RES, or at least make it
Do you think a GPS system could be developed that would be able to
download data that would let you see the flight in 3D? That would be too
cool!!!
Yes if the market was there, one can buy small GPS units that are
about the size of a large postage stamp with a weight of ~8grams.

As you might have guessed I am a newbie on the brink of buying a
foamie trainer.
Anyway, today I went out and did an examination of my local slope.
I've never seen anyone flying there and it's not listed as a site.
Since I do not own a car this location is my only option.
The slope is
Gareth,
-Yes, a slope will often work midway to the top.
-Landing is often quite challenging on the slope. The most obvious way is by
crabbing along the face of the slope. However, there are many, many
different ways. The best of which will depend on the wind, the slope, your
plane and personal
Sounds like a very manageable slope.
Yes you can probably fly halfway up successfully.
Two thirds might be better.
Slope landings are basically done across the
slope, as close to into the wind as you can get
without flying away from the slope.
If the lift is strong, you have to start out down
