Re: [RCSE] Re: smelting lead

2000-02-01 Thread Jill and Rick Brown

Silver solder is I believe more expensive. How much I don't know. It is
usually used in refrigeration work. Heat pumps, coolers and freezers. It
has a higher melting point and is usually done with a torch.

[RCSE] Re: [RCSE]... MH32 airfoil (vs. 7037)

2000-02-01 Thread Paul Klissner

That's interesting, because my Dominator has an MH32 airfoil,
and it *moves*  quick, even unballasted.  It was one of the first
things I noticed about that glider.  It just cruises and penetrates
even when its not carrying.

I don't know how much the planform contributes to its speed
and locomotion alone, but I thought that 7037 is notoriously slow,
and good primarily for hang-time.

So if the MH32 and 7037 look so similar, why the apparent
discrepancy in behavior?

2000-02-01 Thread Jill and Rick Brown

Paul,

 Excuss me for being too simple in my response. The MH32 is the same
shape. I belive if you modify the 7037 thin it a little and decamber it
just a bit you end up with the MH32.

Thus the speed and penetration.

By the way how much of a dog is the 7037? Anyone who flys it may
respond.

Sorry,
RB

Re: [RCSE] Re: [RCSE]... MH32 airfoil (vs. 7037)

2000-02-01 Thread Jill and Rick Brown

I just realized maybe your were not asking about just TD, which is what
was on my mind at the time.
 In that case. On the slope I like the NSP Sparrow, RG15. Or the Patton
Aircraft Mini-P51 is a ball, I don't know what foil. Also have a DAW
Me109 combat. Of course it feel like a dog after flying the Mini-P51.
 HL, I fly 7080 or 6063 bagged stuff.

Back to the 7037. If you set it up with the right amount of reflex and
ballast your plane a bit it flys kinda nice. Don't you think.

 I know I'm jumping ahead in the schedule but we do have to decide which
airfoil is best for TD. Don't we?

RB

Thanks for asking.

I have had 3 open class TD gliders with the 7037 airfoil.   1 Genesis, 1 Victory 
(obechi) and 1 Victory C (C/F).  The Genesis was
definitely the fastest of the 3.  It has less area and weighs more than the Victories. 
 It would perform well with ALOT of camber dialed
in once it was in a thermal.  The Victory was quite a bit slower.  It has larger flaps 
than the Genesis, and would slow waaay down
(comparitively).  It too, would do well with camber, but just not as much.  If too 
much was dialed in, the handling became sluggish and it
would want to fall into a turn.  The Victory C came in about 4-1/2 ounces less than 
the wood skin version. (lighter tail, CF pushrods,
gear farther forward)  It flies very noticably slower than the other two planes.  It 
also seems to perform better with less camber.  It
will circle slower than it's predecessors without dropping a wing or the nose.  ( I 
added trilerons to it, and now it will really hang a
wing tip.)  I haven't yet ballasted it up, as it still penetrates in our mild SoCal 
winds.  I have a hollow steel wing rod that I have
been planning to fill with lead, so I will try it soon (yeah, right).

So, what airfoil do you want?  How fast do you need to go?

Yea, they're both roundish in front and pointy at the back.

The SD7037 is thicker, has a cusp on the bottom, and seams to carry the upper surface 
higher back, (bubble ramp?).

Yeah, very slight difference to me.

 Lead shot and vapors

 Lead is without doubt the main culprit in "mental retardation"  in
 children.  Even thinking about melting lead - using lead solder in (near)
 a house with small children is irresponsible.  The vapor - leaded gasoline
 - has been shown to have a nearly perfect cause and positive effect with
 vegetable gardens: mental retardation and distance of garden from major
 highways.  Remember all of my (your) handlaunched gliders used a small
 sliver of lead from toothpaste tubes and clay - that is why I am the way I
 am ;)  Lead soldered  canned foods was a disastor, lead water pipes, lead
 paint.  Paint used lead compounds, one  compound was sweet tasting, like
 sugar, kids licked the paint off of walls. The list goes on--even if
 you tolerated (read macho) it, do not use it for the sake of your kids or
 grand kids.

 buy a 25 lbs bag of lead shot for $13.95 and cover it with epoxy in the
 nose, drill a small hole, bigger than the shot and then you get add to
 delete nose weight..  At room temperatures, the vapor pressure is low,
 very low compared to mecury.
