[RCSE] RE: 6 volt battery for retreiver
NAPA #7244 815 CA 650 CCA Jim I use the above battery for retrieving my winch line at the end of the flying session. I have a Tim McCann winch and I find the 12 volt battery a bit daunting when reeling in the line when the day is done. The 6 volt battery is perfect for this task and I must say much safer. I think it might just fill the bill for what you want the battery for. Back in the early 80s I bought a winch from a company in Idaho(I think) that had 3 solenoids and a 3 position foot pedal which allowed for 6 volt, 9 volt and 12 volts depending on how far you pushed the pedal down. It was perfect for different types of planes and I still have it and always liked the idea of reeling in the line at the end of the day at 6 volt speed. Maybe, someone on the exchange will remember the name of this winch. I know there was an ad in the National Soaring Society magazine back then. Hope this will help, sorry for the rambling.

[RCSE] Sanyo AA Eneloop Rechargeable Batteries
Has anyone on the exchange had any first hand experience with these batteries. I acquired 4 from a friend and made up a flight pack. Cycled them twice and they were right on the money at 2000mA. My concern is that I will be running 6 JR digital servos on this battery, therefore does anyone know the internal impedance for these batteries?

[RCSE] Aileron Flap Carbon Fiber Pushrods
Open Question to the group: Has anyone had experience (good or bad) with using carbon fiber push rods for their aileron flap servo linkage. This past season, due to slow thumb response at that critical moment of retracting flaps just before touch down, I was bending the flap push rods (bottom hinged, linkage on top of flap, servo arm on bottom of wing. Carbon fiber rods would give stiffness/rigidity but would they be prone to breakage? This set up was/and is on a F3J 144 Shadow. All comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[RCSE] Antenna Routing
Mark, I ran my antenna on the Piper on the inside and even use a Rubber Duck antenna on my transmitter(JR 8103). I have no distance problem with this setup. The only problem is my eyesight. So, the fuselages of the Piper and the EVO XL seem to be constructed in the same manner and material so I don't see any reason not to run it internally but as others have so wisely suggested, RANGE CHECK. My son an I range check mine with one at the plane and the other in the car driving away with the transmitted and cell phones(hands free, of course) to communicate. I have all the necessary components for my EVO XL in hand and will start assemble today. I did note in the EVO Setup instructions(translated from German to English)that they warn against running the antenna wire internally. I wonder if this is not a European problem, i.e. European frequencies. Maybe someone on the list can confirm or deny. Best Regards, Robert Robert P.

[RCSE] Vinylwrite
Was going to get some needed vinyl lettering for some of my birds and have done business in the past with Vinylwrite.com in Napa, CA. It would appear that perhaps they are no longer in business. Does anyone have any information on the whereabouts and status of this company. Or is this one of our Cottage industries that has gone by the wayside. If so, would like info on a good source of vinyl letter for my sailplanes. Thanks to all. Robert Robert P.

Nostalgia question to the group.

[RCSE] Diode in JR 388 ??
I'm assuming there is a diode in the JR 388 transmitter, since several years ago I tried to check the Tx battery voltage/cycle the battery down and proceeded to blow the fuse. Just purchased a Sirius Super Test and would like to have the ability to cycle the Tx batteries with this tester. Question, what is involved in removing the diode? Is this something that I might be able to do? I don't imagine JR repair would look kindly on this request although warranty is certainly not an issue. All thoughts and suggestions are welcome. BTW using the Sirius Pro Series charger on a new 300 Mah SR Battery Pack, cycled 5 times with the Super Charger and the Super Test yielded a pack capacity of 371 Mah. Likewise, a Sanyo/JR 270 Mah battery pack cycled the same way produced a capacity of 317 Mah. Both were cycled down @ 125 Mah rate. Who says we don't get our moneys worth these days.

Make sure your using a JR friendly chargerStill should not have blown a fuse...Sirius is supposed to be safe in that regardHope all this is helpful...Brian Brian, Your absolutely correct, I did know that, however read on. Plugged the Tx in after your E-mail works just fine, Thank you. I now think I know why I blew the fuse several years ago. I used a Tower Hobby ESV and had the polarity reversed on the meter or actually did not have it reversed for the JR plug, voila blown fuse. Guess we are never too old to learn. I guess I was just timid to try the tester because of my previous experience and ignorance and knowing that I would probably have to go to Radio Shack to get a new fuse if it blew, since my wife has put my spares ones some where logical to her(and then forgot where) but certainly not logical to me. Thanks to all that responded, all with the same above advice. Best Regards, Robert Littleton, NH
