RE: [RCSE] DSlope Fest
Sign me up, Icannot resist a visit to a dark side contest, even with a 9 hour drive. Sounds like each event has been carefully thought out for safety and an interesting competition. And with Dieter and Marcela organizingit should run silky smooth. See u there.

A well designed and prepared kit for a glider that will be a good responsive machine to be used on light to medium lift days on California slopes. Based on this, I would be hesitant to recommend an HLG. Reason being that medium lift on the typical California hills I've flown at can be pretty darn good...not exactly ideal for an HLG, especially if you want good, fast performance in this type of wind. Of course, it depends on the definition of medium.

[RCSE] Post Curing Epoxy
Are you scratch builders doing post curing of your wing layups? I'd like my wings to resist dimpling better and I'm wondering if I need to post cure. If so how long and what temp do you typically use. Do you let the epoxy room temperature cure for a while before adding heat? Thanks for any info.

RE: [RCSE] LIGHT AIR SLOPE MACHINES :-) - Chuperosa
Chuperosa, now there's a plane that I haven't heard about for a while. I bought a used one from a friend that had already been bashed up pretty good before I got to it. Learned to fly ailerons with it. It was a pretty good plane. I always wanted to build a new one but never got around to it. I assume that they're no longer in production.

I have a chuperosa that works extremely well on our local slope here in Virginia. Seems ok in light or heavy lift.

Re: [RCSE] Hinges on moldies
The Spectra which is a polyethylene fiber can also be used as a hinge material and apparently some are using it. However, being the world's strongest fibers (10 times stronger than steel and up to 40% stronger than Kevlar) is also very expensive. The point I tried to make is that most people are using abreissgewebwe(peel-ply) which is a polyester fabric. It's widely available and inexpensive. The idea is to use a material which is pores and epoxy resin won't stick to it.

Weasel (now Wind Weasel II)--a built up--I kit bashed one with strip ailerons and it made for a good sloper I've gotta ask a newbie question here: what are strip ailerons? I'm imagining that they're just strips behind the trailing edge? Is that right? That sounds interesting to me: it might make learning to fly with ailerons more practical for me, as I'll be able to learn to fly with ailerons before learning how to build them, which looks, frankly, difficult. -J RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

I'm imagining that they're just strips behind the trailing edge? Is that right? Generally it refers to ailerons that cover the entire length of the trailing edge, rather then just being out on the wing tips. They are usually narrower then standard tip ailerons. Quite often they are used because it simplifies construction, especially on a plane that has no flaps (no need for a cutout in trailing edge for a tip aileron), and they make it easier to use a single servo to drive them (not that this is diserable).

Re: [RCSE] Post Curing Epoxy
Hi Rick, I have had to post cure a few rockets I have made. I am not sure if you really need to get this complicated, but most epoxy manufacturers give a schedule for post curing. It states what temperature for how long, basically a slow rise in temp and then slowly back down again. The max temp isn't too hot but you might want to test it on the foam you are using. There is more info on this and plans to make a simple post curing oven at http://www.shadowaero.com/Materials.htm Be sure to check out the projects page for some amazing rockets.

[RCSE] Trip to London, what should I visit modeling wise?
Howdy All, Looks like Im off to London for the week of the 18th-25th of this month. Anything fun happening in the modeling world over there? Im sure its pretty cold so Im just wondering if there are any trade shows or anything else fun anywhere within a days trip from London. Any good airplane museums worth visiting? Any great hobby shops in London worth a stop? Anything great or cheaper over there that I should bring back with me? :) Thanks, Nick Wisdom Orlando, Florida RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
