Re: [RCSE] In Memory of RCSE
I learned a lot over the years through RCSE, Great job Mike. I will miss it. Dennis Hoyle Mike Lachowski wrote: The time is now for the end of RCSE. RCSE has been around forever in Internet years, since the 90's. I can't even remember when it started.

Posts to the list have gone down, mostly stuff about events that are happening out there. There hasn't been too much serious discussion in a while and flame wars, well everyone has been civilized. The equipment that the list is running on is aging and it's kind of hard to get excited about a mailing list these days. RCSE has been around forever in Internet years, since the early 90's. I can't even remember when it started. The computer guys at Airage want to shut the server down as soon as they can. It's not too cool to be running a Windows NT server these days. There are probably other security reasons to shut it down. I don't have a shut down date for RCSE, but expect it to be soon. So if you have any favorite memories, please post them to the list before it goes away. Maybe you can mention your favorite technical guru's discussion, flame war or Sal bashing.

[RCSE] Official Thermal Alert
There is a strong potential for the formation of a thermals activity this afternoon. This is an alert to the potential development of strong thermals and severe lift with moderate winds and sunshine. Monitor thermal conditions..watch for updated statements. If thermal approaches..Take immediate action. Go to your workshop check the battery charge in your sailplanes, load them in your car and head to the WMSS flying field. At 10:15 AM satellite and Doppler radar detection network indicate a cluster of severe thermals over West Michigan and east of Sparta, MI tracking to the east northeast at 5 to 10 mph. Another cluster of thermals is expected later this afternoon and will be accompanied by cumulus clouds. These thermals are capable of producing monster lift with vertical wind gusts near 30 mph..Be very careful that your batteries have a FULL charge as you can expect very long flights with a duration of over 1/2 hour. There is also a risk of facial sunburn due to solar radiation, as you will be staring at the sky for long durations. Be sure bring sufficient sun block for your protection. This has been an official Thermal Alert of the WMSS. See you at the field... Dennis Hoyle WMSS AMA# SNUT www.rcsoaring.org

The sun beaming through the window awakened me early this morning. A
quick check on the computer confirmed that it was going to be another glorious
day. So it was off to Poway.
I stopped at the 7-11 and picked up some ice. I thought that if I stuck
my hands in the ice, I could get close to the feeling of flying in Louisville
or Chicago! It didn't work as the 77 degree temperature warmed my hands before
I could launch.
About three hours of air time in about 4 hours at the field with the
Supra, Rogue 2.0, Blaster and E Blaster. I only had a high start as the winch
motor is being refurbished, but the Supra and Rogue did not seem to care.
Thermals were plentiful with plenty of 10 minute flights and a few good
landings.
Another beautiful day in Southern California.
And Gordy?

Landing in a very tall tree at Lansing, MI. straining an Aquila through a tree at Chicago at speed. The flying surfaces stayed in the tree and the fuse came out alone. There were more as I couldn't go near a tree that summer without an altercation. The bottom line came in September in Detroit, at what was known as the SOAR / GDSHS Dual Meet. One day sponsored by GDSHS and the other day by SOAR and as SOAR was handing out their trophies, Dan Pruss called me up and presented me with a very unusual award. The trophy was a very ratty log of wood with an even rattier old, beat up hand axe sunk into the log, all spray painted gold. This was for capturing more trees in one season with a sailplane than anyone else. It was a very special award coming from Dan Pruss and the SOAR guys and I have lost it over the years but I still have a picture of the award presentation. OK, who has their best tree story.

[RCSE] RC Soaring Ground School
We have some new members that need some help understanding the aerodynamics of flying a radio controlled sailplane. When I was young, very young, I had the luck and honor to hook up with the local Air Patrol. They had a glider program for their members and I joined, went through ground school and trained in full scale gliders. The ground school helped me understand flight. I further studied slow speed aerodynamics in my last year of high school (1970) in an independent learning class. Both of these helped me when I started flying RC Gliders, so I was not afraid to do it. I think that new flyer's sometimes feel intimidated by the the concept of learning flight and this inhibits their learning curve. I hope to create a ground school for new flyer's to give the a firm foundation before they start flying. We could also use it as a presentation at local hobby shops as an introduction to RC Soaring. This should be in plain english, not too technical so as to scare them away. I found some power ground schools but nothing directed toward RC Soaring specifically. Does anybody have something out there? I also posted the same message on RCGroups. Thanks, Dennis Hoyle WMSS / Secretary AMA #SNut LSF #7847 Dennis Hoyle WMSS AMA# SNUT www.rcsoaring.org

How many times have you been to a fun fly or a contest and a random visitor says, I didn't know that you guys were out here. The more people that are aware of us, the more fellow flyer's we will have. It's up to us to make people aware, get the word out, evangelize. Get to your local radio and TV stations and let them know every time you have an event, find websites that post local events and post them, brochures in all of the hobby shops and tell your friends what you do too. Be proud! After listening to all the recent posts, each person should be encouraged to do their own thing. If you like flying a woodie, fly a woodie, if you like unlimited SMOM, do that, if you like 2M, fly 2M's, but for heavens sake, do not condemn someone for doing what they like, let them do what they like and you do what you like. And it might help everyone if we supported each other too. Lets fly and be HAPPY!

I think it is pretty easy to get bored and wish for new contests formats, I think it is very hard to recruit new guys to flying ... which is the only way we are going to increase contest attendance. How much engergy, time ( time on the internet ) and prorgams are used to attract new people??? Do Club's have a plan they implement continually to attract new people ???

In 2004 I recorded an altitude of 3,604 with my Sapphire using a RAM altimeter. I did loose sight of it for almost a minute. Not to be outdone, Troy Lawicki flew his 2 Meter Duck to an astounding altitude of 4,077 as announced by his Picolario (witnessed by several people at our 2-Meter contest). He did this in a 10 minute window and made his landing too. http://www.rcsoaring.org/newsmgr/templates/wmss.asp?articleid=62zoneid=5 Dennis Hoyle WMSS www.rcsoaring.org -Original Message- From: Robert Samuels [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 5:25 PM To: soaring@airage.com Subject: [RCSE] How high?

A huge Thank You to all of the volunteers from the "turn around trolls" to the flight line, the tent and I can't forget the vendors too. How many of us needed that last minute part or glue? Thanks Johnny for the ballast and Mike for the wing bolts. Even after a long hot week everyone had plenty of smiles. I suspect they may have grown that way. ;-) Thanks too for the help and encouragement of the Michigan crew. Without help and advice from all the WMSS guys, I would not have lasted a minute. And Troy, we still consider you a Michigan man. To new friends like Barry Anderson, Tom Scully and Peter Goldsmith, I hope to see you next year, if not sooner. I have to say for me RES was the best, I suppose, because I too, had one of my best flying days yet. I managed a 5 out of 5 1000+ rounds, WOW what a day. Thanks Marc for selling me your AVA last year. Most of all to my wife Jean. All the time while I was flying, she whispered sweet encouragements in my ear, dragged me to the landing area and kept me apprised of possible lift. What fun! Dennis Hoyle WMSS Secretary / Web Geek

[RCSE] L.I.F.T. Contest
The LIFT contest in Traverse City this weekend was really fun. The weather was great especially Sunday. A sincere thanks to Jim Johnson, Larry Storie and the rest of the LIFT crew. Needless to say there was a lot of competition in 2M and Unlimited, which left a hole open for me to get my first, first place trophy in RES. :-) Thanks Marc for selling me that AVA. We also witnessed a battle between a Bald Eagle and a Hawk. Didn't know they would do barrel rolls. The eagle left the area to the east and came over closer to us. Later we noticed the Eagle had a couple of wing feathers missing. The hawk held his territory and continued to thermal in a nice lazy circle. Jim Johnson caught some lift with the eagle and they both skied out. Memorable... Dennis Hoyle WMSS AMA 11952 LSF II Sec / Treasurer / Web Geek | '-|_|-'

RE: [RCSE] Nats Planning, 2M, and All the Rest
All this discussion beating up 2M is really unfortunate. If this string of thought were carried to the logical extreme, the few that can afford it, would probably all be flying Icon's or whatever is the state of the art machine at the time and hang the gas bags and lesser planes. This attitude sounds a little elitist to me. If NASCAR thought the same way, there would be only NEXTEL CUP, no Busch or Craftsman Truck series races. These other races are good way for drivers to learn the skills to compete in the top races. 2M is a great way to bring up flying skills at a reasonable cost for newbie's like me. This year I plan on flying in the NATS for the first time in 34 years. I will be flying in 2M and please if you think it sucks don't fly. It'll be more fun for the rest of us. Don't close out the new guys by limiting choices. The sport must expand or wither and die. By the way, I like unlimited and RES too. In fact, I just like to fly.

Re: [RCSE] Majestic 110

Re: [RCSE] RE: GUI programming for TX's - More
Hi Neil, The idea was to take the numerical and small screen interface of the Tx's programming screen and enhance that to make it easier to understand. That is a huge advantage. I use an example from aviation between 2 Garmin GPS units. The 430 and 530. The functionality of the units is identical, the difference is screen size. Now, yes the map is bigger, but the main reason people swap to the larger 530 is to have more information displayed on one screen. OK, I get your drift - however (isn't there always a however :-)) It would appear that a bigger easier to use interface to say a 3030 or 4000 would be an improvement to the end user - unfortunately, I have to disagree completely. Neil unfortunatly I would have to disgree with your disagree. :)) The bigger interface on the JR 8103 is much better (and easier to use) than the one on the JR 388. Also the two line interface on the Graupner/JR MC 18/20 is abbismal compared with the interface on the Graupner/JR MC 24 On both these above examples the larger screen allows you to see where to go to get to the next function so that you do not have to scroll throuh numerous screens (or remember function numbers as in the case of the MC 18/20) Imagine if all the functions and their values were on the screen at the one time then we would not have to search for that function that we know is there, but is always hard to find, especially when new to that TX . Take the example of the Palm devicesno no not your fingers..the Palm Pilot thinggys, if you had to scroll through to get to all the functions I don't believe they would have taken off. Take your average modeller, an F3F/F3J/F3B model and a 3030/4000. If you remove the aircraft from the loop in any way, then the modeller can't see any connection between what they are adjusting and the end result - there's no feedback. I don't believe anyone was seriously suggesting removing the model. I'm sorry to keep harping back to what I said, but unless there is some visual feedback to the adjustments, then no amount of graphical user interface is going to make up for this. Totally agree. The GUI can certainly make it look simpler by giving more information, Yep I believe that's what people were saying would be better but without any visual control feedback, it is just a big bunch of numbers. - perhaps even more confusing to the end user. Agree There's really no satisfying substitute to watching both the ailerons and flaps move in the same direction after 3 hours of programming =;-) How about a larger interface and perhaps doing it in 5-10 mins. Perhaps what is required is a simulator that has no connection to the transmitter whatsoever - a training aid in effect. A set of dummy aircraft models could be used to show cause and effect. Perhaps a series of plugins to suit different makes of Tx even. An electronic version of the Tx users manual. Or maybe just reading (and understanding !) the printed manual would save all this effort g Ahhh understand the manual.there's a novel thought, what language was yours written in :))) I have yet to read one that explains exactly how to set up the 3 poition sw. for launch thermal and landing , for instance. Yes I have read Mike's one and printed it. The problem is that when one knows a lot about the programming of a certain TX and then writes a manual they seem to assume that their audience knows more that they in fact do. Its like teaching someone who has had no former exposure to a computer, how to use one It can be very hard for the teacher to dumb down (for want of a better expresion) to the level of the learner. But this is what is needed with manuals in my opinion, The manual that comes with the 3030 is the best I have seen but still assumes perhaps more knowledge than one has. The basics are easy, it's the full function stuff that is not usually easy to aquire. I think though that your statement regarding reading and UNDERSTANDING the manual and the way the programming for a TX works is certainly the key.. Sorry for long post, my .A$ 0.01c worth Dennis Field tuning would be done with the normal functions. Agree RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] Mpx 3030 Programming
Hi Bob, I have an onboard glow system, on a towplane, that I activate using an electronic speed control and sw. 5 to turn it on and off. I want to know if I can then use the GX sw (via = the throttle) to switch sw 5 off once past 20% or so throttle and back on again once the throttle comes back past 20%. With my glider I have all the wing servoes setup as butterfly, the throttle stick operates the flaps as spoiler. When I apply full spoiler the flaps go down as they should but not as far as I would like, however if I also apply the launch flap at the same time the flaps go further down to a point that I am happy with. So I'm trying to find how to get all that deflection with just spoiler. Hope it makes sense. Dennis RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

However the Scoreboard that I am using measures 1.6 lbs\ft^3, right at the minimum density. DAN DEVRIES wrote about substituting High Load 60 for Spyder Foam. According to Composite Structures Technology, Spyder Foam has 3 times the compressive strength of Blue Foam and almost 10 times the compressive strength of white (1 lb/cu ft) foam and a density of 2.2 lbs/ft^3. This would be a compressive strength of 75-100PSI. Therefore High Load 60 had the same density with a somewhat lower compression strength (60PSI). White expanded polystyrene is also available in several densities and strengths. Type I is 1 lbs/ft^3 @ 10PSI. Type II is 1.5 lbs/ft^3 @ 15PSI. Type IX is 2.0 lbs/ft^3 @ 25 PSI. I used some of the Type II for Hand Launch (successfully ?) because In some parts of the USA Owen Corning pink foam is easier to locate for wing fabrication than Dow Blue Foam or Spyder foams. The following technical information pertains to Owens Corning Pink Foam. Owens Corning Products Owens has its own line of extruded polystyrene insulation in many densities and strengths.

I have flown in multiple National Championships in Ireland, Australia, Canada and Great Britain and have had wonderful memories of each. I have now mellowed a little and have lost the highly competitive urges (I have to, as there are few competitions within 500 miles of my home) None of the countries in which I have competed chose their international teams at their National Championships. This is not a reflection on the importance of the National Championships, but is a recognition that the Team Trials require an isolation to provide an atmosphere of competition totally dedicated to the class being flown. National Championships, by their very nature, celebrate an important gathering of a varied group of modellers competing in a wide range of events. This is as it should be and these contests provide lasting memories to the large number of contestants. It should be remembered that not all National Championship competitors have international aspirations and the national championships provides the opportunity to meet the cream of the crop and learn from them. Prospective international contenders compete with others in a number of events at the national championships. These same competitors, in their quest for an international place would not be able to compete to their full ability in a team trial at the nationals, with the distraction of multiple events being carried on at the same time. I would like some day to have the privilege to fly in the US Nationals and I'm sure it would be an experience which would be as memorable as any of the best I have experienced in 52 years of modelling.

(check my math) Would be great mid-air potential, but would be very interesting. Could monitor and stop launching when 10 planes are in the air. Launch would go as soon as a plane lands opening the 10th slot. Would be one heck of an exhausting day, but I would love something like this. Master fliers would be allowed if they are going for their level V. Let me know when you get this set up. I will gladly help find volunteers for scoring and winch running. Tom Why not restricted contests where only level four's and below and no Master flyers are allowed. Master flyers to mean winners of say Phoenix, Visalia, and Pasadena,or The Nationals. Limit the entries to 25 to improve your chances of winning. Have multiple contests in the same day. The guys in So Cal have a restricted contest where only Master and level 5 flyers can fly. Why not reverse it. I have the grass field with facalities. I have the winch and retrieval equipment. I have the C.D. papers. I don't have the flyers signed up. I don't have many helpers. I don't have computer scoreing. Interested level fours and below ping me back and I will start making a list of those interested flyers.

Re: [RCSE] Measuring Internal Resistance of F3B Winch Motors
Tim, Actually, the rule on how the winches are tested has changed and just become effective. Typing as I read the document[not quite a quote]: c)The complete winch equipment[batteries, cables, switch and motor] must have a total resistance of 23.0 milliohms. The allowed resistance may be obtained by adding a fixed resistor or resistors between motor and battery. e)Measuring: The battery must stay unloaded for at least two minutes after the previous test or launch. The measuring of the circuit resistance consists of recording the battery voltage Ub immediatly before closing the winch switch and recording the the current[I300] and the voltage[U300] 300milliseconds[+/- 30msec] after the winch current begins to flow. Before the end of this 300ms interval the motor shall stop rotating. f) For the test a digital voltage measuring instrument(accuracy /-1%) is used, which enables to measure the voltage of the battery and the output voltage from the I/U transducer 300ms after the current of the winch is applied. The transducer for measuring of the current may bea clamp transducer(range 0-600 or 0-1000A, accuracy /- 2%) or a calibrated resistor(0.1 milliohm, accuracy /-0.5%) in the negative path of the circuit. g) The resistance is calculated with the formula Retot= 1000 x Uo/I300 The winch tester used by the competitors and Finals organizers over the past 10 years probably fills the bill. The other devices mentioned are not that difficult to find. = Dennis Phelan For JR 388/8103 setup and F3b scoring downloads: page updated 7/24/01 http://www.geocities.com/dephela/index.html In a crisis, you don't rise to occasion.

Re: [RCSE] Which Way Does a Thermal Rotate in the Nothern Hemisphere?
Dude, Since you ask Last night a show about tornadoes on The Weather Channel said that tornadoes can definitly be cyclonic or anti-cyclonic! They did a 'thing' with maps and stuff to show where the non-typical ones form in relation to the 'only' ones that should be forming in the northern hemisphere! I have on a video a team of tornado scientists creating dust-devels in both directions using a truck in the desert. Kinda like a storm creating a surge even though the moon is in thewrng place for a high tide? Kinda like a surface in chaos below a chaotic blanket of air?

Re: [RCSE] Nats..reply..Numbers
Bill, Honest, this is just a straight reply! If that were the case then pilots, CD's or clubs would do the same thing that the have done to the AMA rules and drop the distance and speed tasks from the event they run, go to or promote. Look in the book, can you see where it reads: 11. Scoring-General[pg 119] We're supposed to be running multiple tasks at an event. We're supposed to be pilots that can use thermals to our advantage in many ways, not just one. A landing is not supposed to be a tie breaker that gets picked on in discussion every year. Dennis Now to the group, There is very little difference between what we as Americans are supposed to be competing in and the rules for competition that have been agreed upon by an international group. When we do start flying more tasks and pilots become as familiar with the flying situations in a multi-task environment, working time, and entrant supplied winches will become minor differences. The pilots that wrote the rules and the pilots that won't change them must think this is a good idea already. If not, PLEASE take the other tasks out of the rule book already! Dennis --- Bill Malvey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here's an extreme (very unlike me to take the extreme view). If the goal is to increase FAI participation then why not simply propose an Urgent Rules Proposal to the Soaring Contest Board to eliminate all other parts of soaring from the rules and replace them with the FAI events. If people have no other choice, then they will either start flying FAI or go do something else. That way we don't have to worry about how many are flying what event at the NATs. FAI will be all there is, end of problem. ~~ Bill Malvey Ladera Ranch, California __ Do You Yahoo!? Check out Yahoo! Shopping and Yahoo! Auctions for all of your unique holiday gifts!

Re: [RCSE] Nats..reply..Numbers
Steve, You're right, but don't have clinic's. It just takes CD's that run the tasks. If they do, they will find that it can be done without any more help than the pilots can provide. It's just like running any other event. Certainly! Believe it or not this can be enjoyed with any sort of sailplane. You don't need moldie$. Not 'til you get hooked on the sport...
