Re: [RCSE] Falcon 880 Help
Just saw your post, must have been caught in the e-mail time warp. More information is required to answer your question. I can tell you that the Falcon 880 had at least two different carry through configurations. The early versions had a straight hardened steel rod 11/32 in diameter. I believe the length was around 9. One of my club members had a early version. A later version that I currently own uses a 5 degree pre-bent 1/2 diameter aluminum carry through. Hope this helps.

Also if someone knows where we can get one ASAP it would be nice. Needs it to fly in the Mid-South in 21/2 weeks. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Low Country Boil
Title: Message The Low Country Boil that we had at the Mid South that we hosted in 2002 was given high marks by everyone who attended. But the 2005 Mid South is going to have an even better Low Country Boil on Saturday evening, June 25. Be sure to come with a BIG appetite! In addition to all of the great food that you might expect at a Cajun meal like this, there will also be an abundance of other food: Stuffed Chicken, Pork Chops, Andouille and Charuice Sausage, Jumbo Shrimp, Scallops, Corn, New Potatoes, and 5 types of Grilled fish--Snapper, Grouper, Tilapia, Salmon, and Yellow Fin. No matter what your tastes, you will find plenty to satisfy, so be sure to sign up for the Saturday dinner if you have registered for the Mid South in Atlanta. We need to have a good estimate of the crowd for planning purposes. Friday evening will be a meal at our favorite watering hole, Mi Mexico, just about a mile from the field. Before and after the meals, we plan to have the field open for fun flying so there is no excuse for going back to the motel early.
[RCSE] Stylus programming--Flying Wing
I'm just finishing a Queen Bee (it's sort of like a Zagi with a pituitary problem-span is 100). It's a three piece wing, with two servos in the center section and one in each of the two detachable tips. The plans call for connecting the outer elevons servos with a Y cable, but I thought it would be interesting to run each servo on a separate channel. I want to see what will happen with crow mode on a flying wing. I have mixed rudder to aileron in the V-tail mode. The inner elevons work just fine, but the outers function only as ailerons. While there may be enough elevator authority with just the inner surfaces, I'd like to have all four surfaces mixed to control pitch. Any suggestions how best to do this with the Stylus/Glider Card?

Re: [RCSE] Stylus programming--Flying Wing
Joe, You don't need much pitch on the Queen (I have 3 control surfaces and would recommend 2 instead) I have my flaps and ailerons mixed - as well as full flap and crow mixing. I use a Superslim and have everything on separate channels. Send me a glider card and I will put the program on it for you if you want. Also, the Queen is great to fly, but a bitch to land, even with my big flaps and full crow. Wait until you start adding the weight to balance it and you will see it gets pretty heavy. Likes 8+ winds and is comfortable in 15 to 20.

Re: [RCSE] Stylus programming--Flying Wing
Hi Tom-- Thanks for the quick response! I'd love to send you my card, but I've got a fair amount of flying on my agenda the next few weeks. I've set everything up on separate channels as you have (I am using a 6 channel Hi Tech Electron). It sounds like I'll have plenty of pitch with just the inner surfaces, from what you say. Wind is coming up in Livermore--12 gusting to 16--so it should at least stay up. And you're right about the weight--it takes a LOT of lead to balance that sucker! I'll program in a bunch of crow an see how it goes. Thanks again.

On the smaller wings where you only have two servos, usually people seem to end up giving them lots of travel (needed for quick aileron response) but dialing down the travel of the elevator (in their radio) to a reasonable value -- too much and they tend to immediately tip stall. This is pretty noticible on the Zagi clones, but it's really extreme on the short flying wings like the M60 -- properly set up, your aileron stick axis causes much more travel than your elevator stick axis. Sounds like having the outer control surfaces be aileron-only, and the inner surfaces being elevator only (or maybe aileron and elevator) might just be perfect. I wouldn't worry much about having the outer surfaces doing elevator functions too. | I have my flaps and ailerons mixed - as well as full flap and crow mixing. I'll bet crow is nice on that.

Re: [RCSE] Soprano Feedback
Jim, I have one of the Isthmus Model's Sopranos. I have flown it about dozen times. I am extremely happy with it. Launches hard and has great legs. I can slow it down for thermals and put the nose down to get out of dodge. Mine came in at 50 oz. I have not tried it with ballast yet. It is not a floater, although you can slow down to thermal, it flies more like a full house ship. The spoiler is very effective and it spot lands nicely. It is turning out to be one of my favorite gliders. Great launches, great penetration, fast, reliable, and durable. My opinion only, the Soprano gives a pilot more options for a wider range of conditions. I am looking forward to many more flights. Up in Minnesota, we have had 75% of our days with rain. - Original Message - From: Jim Laurel [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: rcse Yahoo soaring@airage.com Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 12:55 AM Subject: [RCSE] Soprano Feedback Ok, so who's flying a Soprano out there?

Maiden flight will have to wait until next week, I guess. Slowing the aircraft against a hard object prolly works better on foamies than on glass slippers. My last casualty of that sort was tip stalling my Nemesis right over the road, landing on a passing bicyclist. She fell off her bike, but fortunately her fall was nicely broken by, uh...the Nemesis.
