[RCSE] Re: Why turn off the IPD filter.
Don't know if I'm the only one with this experience but both Rxs that I've used with DSP and other front end signal processing have failed miserably in my discus planes. These are the Sombra 7 and the FMA M5V2. I had (still have) very good response from my standard M5s (no longer available) but get lock-outs and swamping with the V2 at contests. Same with the Sombra, even after the temperature problem had been addressed. They are both retired now. Not limited to low and slow and coming back. I have several metal roof buildings at the field where I fly and both these Rxs run into problem within several hundred feet of these structures. My Futaba's, Hitec E6's and old M5's go through these regions without any problems but both of the other units tend to go crazy, lock out and crash. I suspect that the bounce from the metal roof presents a stronger signal than the direct path RF and the slight time offset confuses the filtering circuitry. This is probably an excellent technology but may not be fine-tuned yet for some applications? - Dave R RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] For Sale, Polk Seeker 2 8 Channel Synth RX's
Hi guys, I have used Polks for the past 4 or 5 years, they are compatible with any brand, fit Sharons to Pikes to Supras and work great in Pike Carbons. I am not flying as much or as many ships as I did, and am going to trying the new Fusion Hitec Synth and JR Synths. So if you would like to pick up my Polks for $50 each, shipping $4. let me know quick, I leave for Pensacola and Maryland/Delaware Wednesday morning. I have 5 of them available. New price is $80, plus shipping. All in perfect condition, I'd say they have never been crashed but I don't want to jinx myself for the future :-). Wait and Wail. Gordy

RE:[RCSE] For Sale, Polk Seeker 2 8 Channel Synth RX's
I beg to differ. I tried to use a Polk 8 on a scale sailplane using a Vision and had interaction between channels. Of course I was using all channels. Particular channels were tow release and retract, which were full throw commands, but the end result was an unusable system. I tried getting a remedy or at least an explanation from Polk's but they were not helpful at all. I assume they work correctly with the current brands and models but I thought I should convey my experience. Sorry Gordy- hope it doesn't kill any deals.

[RCSE] Re: DSP issues
I've had problems with the earlier Berg receivers glitching badly ultimately causing crashes on the slope; same with the Polk Seeker 6 synthesized RX (two receivers, two out of control gliders that crashed.) Everyone seems to be rushing to DSP, while I'm lamenting Hitec's changing the Super Slim to DSP and the loss of the bulletproof 555. Fortunately JR (Sport) is starting to make small negative shift receivers (but a 7 channel would be nice) they're as reliable as can be. Apparently ABC W is quite different than DSP. The results sure are different.

Re: [RCSE] Looking for fastner the holds stab on pedestal on Supra or Ava
I thought that may be the first hardware item lost. Good thing it is silver color and not black. Although the best method for finding small hardware parts in the grass will not work with that special nut, it's aluminum, so a powerful magnet will not attract it. Maybe I should paint it fluorescent orange. I think Barry will do well selling replacements. :-) Steve Meyer SOAR LSF IV At 05:52 PM 6/5/2006, Stan Myers wrote: Lost mine.

I am looking forward to flying in the June ESL event at LISF on Long Island. I hope to see some of you there. I have a old yellow and blue Airtronics Legend that I am trying to tune up. I picked up a wing incidence meter and am trying to set the wing/h-stab incidence. I don't have a recommended spec so I am trying to shoot for something reasonable. If I set the stab at 0 degrees on my GP incidence meter, the wing measures 1.5 degrees below the zero. I guess that would be 1.5 degrees positive relative to the stab, correct? Any recommendations on a good starting target? It used to be more but I added 1/32 in shims under the rear wing hold down to raise the back of the wing about 6 months ago and it seemed to fly better. So I bought the incidence meter and want to set it correctly. Unfortunately I have no idea if I am right on the money or way off. I have the build manual but there is no recommendation in the book. Would a 0 degree difference between the wing and the stab be a reasonable starting point? I am thinking that there should be some difference but I may have too much. I hope to be able to upgrade to a Mantis or similar by the end of the summer, but for now this is what I have to fly. Until then, I will chalk up the work I do on this plane as a learning experience. Any advice would be appreciated. Best Regards, Ed Anderson Long Island Silent Flyers [EMAIL PROTECTED] RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Re: DSP issues - Berg Micro Stamp - and stuff
Don -- Good to hear about the new Berg stuff being able to stand up to Poway! It's true the early, early versions of the Berg 4- and 5-channel (pre-Castle) receivers had issues with the DSP, and hence released the DSP II, which I can only assume is at least what they are using in the new Castle Bergs. For what it's worth, I fly Berg 5's (pre-Castle stock) in my DLGs, and have never had a problem. Flew my Polecat EZBD to great new heights (2000 ft or more) on Sunday (beating Gordy and his Super AVA, of course!) using a spare Berg 5 DSPII. Yeah, I certainly thought Oh man, I'm 2500 feet up with a Berg!, but that thing never failed me. Two weeks ago I managed an LSF IV 1-hour flight with the same ship. This Sunday, however, I only managed 45 minutes - which was not the fault of the receiver. :) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In a message dated 6/5/06 4:32:33 PM Pacific Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I've had problems with the earlier Berg receivers glitching badly ultimately I have used the Berg Micro Stamp 4 in my HL models for several without a problem.
