Re: [RCSE] AVA vs Bubble Dancer - Buy vs. Build
The AVA is not a woody, so the Bubble Dancer (Mike L won the RES NATS with his) is the best choice if you want to compete in woody events. T - Original Message - From: Ed Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Soaring@airage.com; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2008 7:34 AM Subject: [RCSE] AVA vs Bubble Dancer - Buy vs. Build Lincoln, Build vs. buy; is it just an economic question? As we all know, the AVA is almost an exact copy of Mark Drela's Bubble Dancer. It is a little bigger and a little heavier, but other than that, we can consider it the Bubble Dancer ARF. But is it a good value, or is it a high priced package? A group of guys at my club got together and made up Bubble Dancer kits this past winter, five of them. It included a premade molded fuselage and boom. To create the kits cost around $310. I don't know how long the build took. I bought one of the kits, took a look at the build, and sold the kit to another club member. I bought an AVA. I am not a builder, and that build would have been way over my head. For me the cost of the ARF was cheap compared to the time investment to build. Denny, at www.polecataero.com was selling an EZBD kit for a while for $340. Based on the work my club members did to create those kits, Denny's kit seems very reasonable in price. And he claims it is a faster build. Based on the quality of his other planes, I would trust a kit from Polecat. Now, if someone likes the AVA and wants to build it for themselves, then build the Bubble Dancer. Based on what I have seen at the field, the Bubble Dancer is just as much of a super ship as the ARFs that copy it. And, it is a real builder's plane. But it takes a lot of work time to build. If building is your pleasure, it is time is well spent. However if you look at it as time equals money or building time subtracts from other activities, then you are doing a make/buy economic decision. If you take the time to build a Bubble Dancer into account, I agree, the AVA, the Topaz, the Soprano and similar ships are a real good value. Unless you love to build, there is little economic justification to building the kit over the available high quality ARFs. If you love to build, then the hours spent building are a joy in itself and the money saved is of no importance and an AVA offers little value to someone who loves to build. Ed Anderson Date: Wed, 06 Aug 2008 00:17:05 -0400 From: Lincoln Ross [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Soaring@airage.com Subject: re: RES vs UNL vs DLG Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] First off, let's put my alleged divinity aside for the duration of this post. People whine too loudly about the super ships in RES. I've beaten some of them with 25 year old pieces of crap. On a good day it doesn't matter that much. Unless you get extra bonus points for landing a pretty ship, you can get the same 100 landing points with an old trainer. I'll admit that on tough days having an Ava improves your chances. However, the Ava is quite a deal. $700 or so. A top of the line unlimited like the Supra is going to run you somewhere between almost twice to almost three times that. If you insist on someone else building the glider, an Ava or similar is quite a deal. I figure it would take me more than 100 hours to build something like that, and it wouldn't be as nice. Would take less time to get a second job flipping burgers and buy the Ava.. If you want to build gliders yourself, well then things are still cheap, but there are so few people who want to do that that kits are hard to find. Remember that these dollars are worth a lot less than the ones we had in the '80s, when as I recall people would spend what I recall as the better part of $300 on a Windsong kit and spend 100 hours BUILDING it. I spent maybe 60 hours building a Cumic back in 1990, and it turned out to be a real dog. Not like the Sagitta wings I'd build before. Actually, I do want to do a little building, but it doesn't make economic sense when I'm working full time. Possibly kits will make a comeback when wages in the rest of the world get close to what they are in the USA. (That's a good thing, by the way, except maybe for the environment.) BTW, although I've flown 2M a LOT, I think 100 inches would have been the better limited size. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Re:Motor limiter launch
It would have to be altitude and time, and only one single motor run. I'd rather go straight for a thermal than straight up. It 's going to be tough for LSF to allow electric motors in a pure sailplane environment. Will need a new category. Just something more to go wrong with my plane. It might favor motor technicians. (most people should ignore the following rant ; ) If LSF is going to change anything, it should be the contest thing. The contest part is the toughest for all the new LSF people I've signed up. I signed up 8 people and only two ever got their level II because of contests. Now it's worse than ever to travel. Originally, most monthly club constests had enough people. Out here, it's several hundred miles of driving to find one with enough people for level II and III and way tougher for the last two. Keep it for level IV and V, but get rid of it for the lower ones and just add an equivalent like 6 ten minute flights in a row with a total score of whatever the average might be to win one of the club contests. You have the scores of those that got their levels. I bet a lot of the early V's had a lot easier job than the last ones.

It will probably come in due time and I am trying to help that along, but as you will see from the thread on RCGroups it needs real organization. The LSF is the SIG for electric sailplanes but I am not sure the new officers know that yet and what a bag of worms they own. There is a core group of us working the issue (not as hard as we should be) trying to come up with a logical plan to see if electric launched sailplanes are just the same as a hand launched sailplane or a winch launched sailplane or people towed sailplane. In other words, just another launch method to get to some almost common launch height to start looking for air. If anyone one you Pure sailplane pilots want to help, bring an electric powered sailplane to the LSF Winch Launched Nats and either purchase a Zlog from Barry Kennedy or me (I will try to have several loaners there) and we will organize an after hours test using F3J rules. I would love to see 10 guys launching together and see what the Zlog is really capable of doing in a mock contest round or two. Lets end the talk and do something together to get this discussion into some kind of real data to work from. As a group, I think we are the only ones who will benefit or loose from exploring electric launched sailplanes. Have fun reading the RCgroups thread.

Regards, Dave Corven. -- Original message -- From: Lincoln Ross [EMAIL PROTECTED] Just read the article. To some extent, I find myself agreeing (did I write that? pass the Risperdal!). However, just because Gordy and I succumb to tempatation when we have an electric glider* that is getting low, doesn't mean other people do. If you have the strength of will to ignore that nice power switch after the first climb is over, you can ignore what he said. But I'll admit that when there's a motor in the glider I usually won't fight out the last 50 or maybe even 100 feet. And I definitely will with an unpowered glider. So there go all those fun saves. (I was told that on a 58 minute flight (or was it the 60 minute flight??) I was down to 20 feet at 3 minutes. I thought it was 40, but that's another story. Low enough with a 25 year old 2 meter. (hmm... is this the Gordy bragging disease too?) We have a bunch of people flying electric gliders in our club. Some of them even come home with vinyl/brass/particle board plaques sometimes. Some of them have houses in structural overload from hanging the plaques on the wall. However, we also have a guy who is trying to start an electric event which involves old hlg's and vertical climbs. He very seldom talks about the power off part of the flight. This guy has acquired my old Chrysalis. It's very amusing to watch him launch, but it ain't soaring. He can get lots of exciting vertical drag racing because the flights don't last long. The model is, I think, two or three ounces overweight, which is a lot on a Chrysalis. Anyway, Gordy mentions an automatic motor shutoff. I think this will emphasize motor power even more, because now you have to be going Mach 0.5 at motor shutoff so you can get another 1000 feet or so. Therefore it needs to link in to activate flaps or spoilers for 5 seconds or something. (Perhaps activate spoilers for first 30 seconds of flight above 500 feet? Total energy probe?) Once these little details are worked out, I don't see why Gordy shouldn't then advocate using a similar system with a releasable towhook on winch launches. That'll make Histarter happy too. (for those of you who don't know my last reference, your ignorance is bliss) *Sailplanes are for people with bigger egos than mine. Gliders can go up to, including, sometimes, 40 size power trainers that happen to be dead stick. Gordy wrote: Or you could have posted me directly to discuss it such a fun topic :-) Its been quite a while since I wrote that article which is more a review of the programmable altitude priority motor cut off switchbut I play this game :-) The context of the article is replacing winch launches.. snip One more time because I know that motor heads who have found a sailplane will fit motors will want to go off on how what they do is good (and it IS by the way) but that has nothing to do with the context of the article...replacing winch launches with electric motor launches.

The US Team is on the ground (mostly). There were a few hiccups in the travel, and we are still sorting it out here on Wed. The plans for reception by the organizer were great and we had a guide personally waiting for us at the airport. We have our personal driver and it has been terrific. Most of the team made it in on-time and with all our baggage and planes. Unfortunately the contingent coming in from the NW had a number of problems. Our Tower was delayed in Amsterdam and wound up getting in at 4:00AM and had to wait until 6:00AM today to get picked up. Their good news was that their gear all arrived. The Rest of the NW crew was not as lucky. They made it in nearly on time, but neither their planes nor large baggage made it. After their 3 hour ride from the airport to the hotel, they arrived at between 3 and 4AM. Their van was not ready either, s they had to take the team car back to the airport (another 3+ hour ride) and persevere with the lost baggage folks to find the planes. Eventually the planes were found, a Van was rented and they are currently enroute to Adapazari, but too late for any practice for them today. We got whacked pretty good on excel baggage charges, but if we are able to have the same level of charges for the return trip, we should only exceed our budget by $400 or so. The rest of the team arrived at the field to find our palatial estate. Other than the Turkey team, we have the largest tent area. Tent is an understatement. This thing is 2 stories high with plenty of room for all of our models and our 23 team members and supporters. The organization is fantastic, with everyone asking if we needed anything. We could not be more comfortable or welcome! We spent most of the morning getting the equipment organized. The afternoon was spent practicing. Our team is looking very good and very comfortable with the conditions here. Our timing drills were very precise so we should do well. Frankie and Phil's practice tows were awesome. The other towers were still off retrieving model boxes - they will get their workout tomorrow. Now the bad news. Rich Burnoski lost a Supra when the stab hit my hand during launch. It is hurt bad, but repairable. Daryl blew a stab off during launch, he flew it down inverted with flaps with no other damage. We need to find him a new stab. No other carnage to report. The weather here is as predicted, hot and humid. Light air in the morning, with the wind picking up in the afternoon and lightening up later in the day. The carnage happened in pretty good breezes. The hotel is great WITH AIR CONDITIONING. Everybody is really nice from the hotel staff to the restaurants to the pubs. I took some GREAT pictures for you, but it appears that I left my camera cable at home, so someone else will have to post the pics.

[RCSE] Wram Fliers
I just got a whole package of WRAM Show fliers to give out, but nowhere on the flyer is any information as to where it is or how to get there. They would be okay if you were already at the show, since it has the list of exhibitors and programs. They are of little use to give out to people who don't know anything about the show -- which is just about everyone we would give the flier to around here.

I've been using the Becker for years with no problems. Anyone else use a Becker? T - Original Message - From: Robert Samuels To: soaring@airage.com Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 5:40 PM Subject: [RCSE] Antenna Follies I had a transmitter antenna problem last year. My Futaba 8 U has a Smiley Rubber Ducky antenna. This attaches by means of a spring loaded bayonet mount. Due to the design the spring loading allows the mating pin to flex back and fourth a bit. After years of use I found the pin had broken off and that I had been flying with the antenna connection just barely touching. I think that is what caused the crash of my Organic at last years Nats. So I bought a new Rubber Ducky antenna assuming I would get a few more years of use before it failed. I was wrong. I just checked it and found it had failed the same way. After only a few months of use. Probably due to all the HL flying I've been doing which causes a lot of flexing of the spring loaded mount back and fourth during the launching process with it's attendant mating pin flexing. Glad I caught it during a shop check. Robert Samuels .. St. Louis -- Helping your favorite cause is as easy as instant messaging. You IM, we give.

Re: [RCSE] Bright color welded ring
Yep, you are right about the light weight part. : ) Powder coating is an option. I have a powder coater, but it would be a bit expensive to do for just a couple of welded rings. If someone sends me a dozen rings I will do it for them in exchange for keeping 6 of them. I have some bright red that would look nice. I've used nail polish with success and it's cheap.

Extremely light too. In the annodizing process the steel is melted away by the acids leaving only the color. Really stands out in the sun, your pilots won't have any trouble picking up the wrong lines. Or you could use a short colored piece of leader line to the rings, Mason line can be found in florescent pink, yellow, orange and green at contractor supply houses that sell to the masonary crowd. You'll have to check on the line strength to get a piece strong enough, but its out there. I had been using it for years on my winch and bungees. Since its a short piece you don't have to have that strong of a piece, and of course you can double it up. Gordy ** Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.

Re: [RCSE] DLGs = Bang ,etc = cost per hour.
How about cost per hour? Since I purchased it 4 years ago, I have flown my $3500 (value) Duo Discus 1 hour. I have flown my XP 4.5 about 80 hours... Even at $600 that would be $7.50 per hour compared to $3500 per hour. Now, I can sell my Duo for around $3000 and maybe get $300 for the DLG. So, the cost per hour on the Duo is about $500 and the cost per hour for the DLG is more like $3.75. If you calculate the total cost for a plane based on what you paid, what you sold it for (or can get for it), you will be surprised how expensive some planes are. I sold an SBXC that cost me about $1900 flying. Sold it for $900 with 18 hours on it. $55.55 per hour to fly it. I'd like to hear from some others on this way of looking at things.

I disagree with your analysis. We're not flying fruit so cost per ounce is irrelevant. Mike On Dec 2, 2007, at 11:22 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have to disagree with Buzz regarding DLG being the best value. I agree that DLG has made HL more accessible to all pilots due it the ergonomics of launching them. But value, for that lets take a step back and look at it from a distance. When evaluated analytically, DLG is absolutely the worst value in soaring today. Lets take the recent example of the $1000 Vandal (all up ready to fly) that was snapped up off of RCSE recently. For simplicity assume that the plane weighs 10 oz all up. A simple calculation yields $100/oz. Now lets take a Supra at $2000 (all up: plane plus radio gear) at 65 oz. Same simple calculation yields $31/oz. OK, next up on the list is an SBXC at $2500 (all up, plane plus radio plus vario) at 176 oz. Crank, crank, the calculator tells me $14.25/oz. Getting the drift here? Now lets take Sagitta 900 at $350 (kit plus gear) weighing 40 oz. Push the little beads on the abacus and what comes out: $8.75/oz. Disclaimer- this doesn't assign any value for building, enjoying, etc. Then again, nobody really makes money out of the hobby, we all do it for fun, no? So, what is really more cost effective, soaring gold (DLG), or history (Sagitta)? On a kind of related topic, I've been having a great laugh about all this benchmark garbage. What a bunch of subjective tripe. All I really see is reminiscing about what gets an individual's attention and represents progress to them. I've been in the technology business for 40 years, and if I've learned anything, true paradigms define themselves without any help. By their very nature, the direction that technology goes after the paradigm emerges will change because of the paradigm.

Re: [RCSE] Bubble Dancer
Mike is right. It definitely makes a difference on how it is built. I built a great one and then bought one that someone else built. It has been the worst flying plane I've ever had. I have almost got it re-built. The stab was over 2 oz (average is .7 to.8 oz). It took so much lead in the nose to balance it, that it was over 72 oz. It should be under 50. The control rods were totally loose in the fuse (the stab one was not even in a sleeve). The stab would get stuck every now and then. There were a number of other things, but most have been resolved. I hope to test it tomorrow with all the re-do's. The vertical stab is still way to heavy, but I haven't messed with it. So... after all that, do a good job of building and build light !

Re: [RCSE] Re: PR for clubs
It really depends on your goals. Our club was in the local newspapers many times. Color printed fliers are at many stores and shops. Got a couple visitors, but that's about it. We were in front of City Council a good number of times. Most local soaring guys decided they did not want a club, or contests and did not even want an official field. They are happy flying at a non-AMA insured field and doing just fine. Woodies and electrics have taken over much of soaring because they are fun. Clubs are work, and true competitive soaring is a craft that the electric parkfliers are not that interested in. Competition is a lot of very hard work and paperwork for usually only one or two individuals. Is the PR to promote soaring in general or specifically the ESL? PR should strive to have some measurable results and the right audience to be considered effective. Is it directed at existing power and electric fliers, existing soaring persons, general public, school kids, soccer moms, etc? There is no one type of campaign that covers them all. The content of something going to a soaring group is much different than that going to the general public. What is the goal? Who is your target audience? Are you trying to create national attention? Are you trying to help the individual clubs in the ESL? Ask CASA, LASS, etc, what or if there is anything that would help them. Phil and Skip should have some input. As well as John Murr and John Hauff. What would help CASA may be very different than what would help LISF. It may mean making personal presentations to the power clubs to garner some interest in soaring, and to soaring clubs to garner interest in competition. When only one or two people from the hosting club show up for an ESL contest, then what will bring more individual club members out? Now, that said for PR. ESL needs a brochure explaining what IT is and what it's goals are. The brochure needs to promote the benefits of competition, encourage participation and make ESL attractive. That said, I would like to see ESL develop and promote a single big contest like Mid-South or Visalia. One EAST COAST major competition. It is expensive to go to 6 or 7 contests and I noticed that the number of those actually getting in their 6 contests for ESL scoring, has dropped to a very small group. Reducing the requirement to the one big and best 3 might be an idea. You can go to three weekends and still not get six contests in if one day is a bust. Attending more contests is a way to improve your score, but not going to all of them won't totally knock you out. Anyhow, just food for thought. Tom - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Soaring@airage.com Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2005 1:19 AM Subject: [RCSE] Re: PR for clubs I know you asked for personal off-list correspondence, but I feel this may be of use to general readership as well, so I'm putting it here in case it can help others. I need to put together a PR packet, and contact newspapers in advance of contests and put us on the map with the magazines too. I have ideas and I am sure many of you do to. I want some guidance from people who have actually done the PR job. ... I need to know what worked, what didn't. How to make contacts with the Newspapers, what belongs in the PR packet. We are looking to attract new membership, either kids, or adults, never flown, or have flown other disciplines. There are many avenues to pursue, many outlets, some of these are not always apparent. I did PR for my club activities for a while, always got the Tv stations to come out, and got nice articles written up in the paper. Events got good attendance and we were a familiar name to the local government people. For TV/radio stations, you send a press release to the news director or assignment desk and a copy to the public affairs director, and it helps to compose it in the typical format (which you can find examples of by googling). For papers, the Assignment Editor or just the main Editor works. Look up and use their name if you can, the personal touch gets noticed. Keep it short and factual, W,W,W,W, and H. but since TV is a business of images, you have to hint at what parts of this activity will be visually interesting. One time we were doing a simple spot landing contest, but because we painted up a few sheets of plywood gray and called it a Top Gun- movie-styled carrier landing contest with photo-ops, we got them to come out and see us, even in the rain, and make a segment out of it. For radio and print, you want to find a hook that appeals to a certain reporter's or hosts pet subject. Education is one natural, because our hobby/sport has so many applications in that area, from science, to history, to math, to English lit (poems like High Flight, books like The Little Prince, Night Flight, etc.). You could work on doing a historical reenactment of some local
Re: [RCSE] Nats Issue and AMA ED
Are there really that many pilots in Muncie that they can't spare a month out of the year for competition? And one issue a year about competition shouldn't be such a big deal. How are people going to learn about it and become interested? I guess it won't be long before AMA becomes the AEA (All Electric Association), like many of the soaring clubs. Heck, the majority of the soaring pilots in our area don't even want to have a club. They just get together at a field and fly, no club, no dues, no contests, no hassle.

There is a similar issue with members not liking the AMA facilities and grounds being used for an entire month for competition which they supposedly received letters about. So a number of days was cut from Nats this year. So in one year we almost lost a day at Nats, but shifted to starting on Friday to keep all the dates and we have lost the magazine coverage for the Nats. It seems a growing number of modelers are not interested in contest flying. I think that's unfortunate because that's my favorite part about soaring.

Re: [RCSE] need source for winch turnarounds
The best (for other than f3J)is a low to the ground unit. The ones with stakes can get fowled with downwind or over the top launches. The tall stake units often catch the line and make for long walks to untangle. Using an aircraft pulley on a low pivot bearing is ideal. The line can't get stuck and it works perfectly, even with off center launches. I made one of these and absolutely love it. You can also use the Tim McCann unitmade by ErichSchlitzkus if you use a stake with a bearing on it. The stock one works okay, but the line rides up on the side with off center launches.

Sorry, but it follows the plane as good as any low turnaround out there. It pivots on the bottom plate. I will bring it to the next contest for you to see. It is low to the ground so the line doesn't get caught on it. No one unit is perfect for all uses, but this one really works well for what I fly. The McCann one doesn't pivot, which is why I said it needs to be mounted on a spike with a bearing so it can. I have one mounted on a plate so it can pivot. The ones on the tall stakes are good if there are no downwind launches. Jeff would be more knowledgeable as far as F3J and F3B goes. I would agree with Jeff, if you don't mind an occasional walk, the WinchDoc one is the best one that follows the plane very well and is pre-made. You can do what Phil does and put guy lines out to each side to help keep the line from getting caught.

The best turnaround is one that can follow the plane. The reason, if someone comes off the launch to the side, or snaps on the launch the plane will veer hard to the side. The fixed turnaround limits their ability to recover. The floating one follows the tension. Tom's design below will abrade the line if it is off to the side. The floating unit like the Winch doc is great if you advance to F3b, or F3j as well. In that case you can hook off into the wind and launch better. The ESL replaced their ground based turnarounds with Winchdoc units. We had units very similar to the McCann style units.. Don't get me wrong they work but the line stays low to the ground and abrades on the ground too. Also the McCann winches are great... One of my club uses 2 of them. But the Winchdoc turnarounds are more functional In the ESL on braided we keep them high to prevent the rash from the ground In F3B I keep it low to the ground to prevent the mono from being cut by other F3B fliers. In F3J it works great with either a fixed tow rig or a sliding tow rig. Doug even provides both a screw, and a hitch pin for either permanent mount or quick release like F3J .. I use the hitch pin. Buy the winchdoc turnaround and you won't need to buy anything for F3J if you decide to fly it , or F3b.. by any other style and you'll be back to buy the winchdoc unit.. I don't know Doug, have never met him, but use the real balls on all ESL winches, and own his turnaround... Quality stuff at a good price.

You can also use the Tim McCann unit made by Erich Schlitzkus if you use a stake with a bearing on it. The stock one works okay, but the line rides up on the side with off center launches.

Re: [RCSE] need source for winch turnarounds
Yes, the TA4 is a good unit, but a bit cumbersome for me. I should have been saying the TA3 instead of using McCann or Winchdoc names when I talked about pivoting.

Re: [RCSE] Thermal duration V or + tail
I personally have one and 1/2 escape V-tails (had 4) and have two Escape X-tails. I really like the way the x-tail flies over the V-tail. More forgiving and easier to set up. The almost new perfect condition V-tail wing and fuse bags included with extra fuse and 2 tails (various conditions) is for sale for $1100 ready to fly . 8 servo set up. I also have a brand NIB Escape light F3J version X-tail for sale for $1185 + shipping if interested. That's what I paid for it when I thought I needed a back-up for the Nats.

Theoretically a V-tail is more efficient than a cross tail, but less efficient than a T-tail. In practice I can't pick the difference. A V-tail can be lighter than a cross tail, and much lighter than a T-tail. Even this does not matter much. The best handling model I have ever had has a V-tail, but I doubt if it would be better or worse with a well designed cross tail. The only handling problem I have ever had with a V-tail model was caused because I did not set it up correctly. I set this model up with insufficient rudder deflection, and did not have enough rudder authority to recover from a dangerous situation. After some repairs, and with the set up done properly, it performed beautifully, and still does some years later. When acting as elevators the ruddervators need very little movement but, when acting as rudders they need as much as you can get. My problem could just as easily have happened with a cross tail model. I am quite happy with either tail type, though I rather like the look of a V-tail. Many European moulded models are available with either style of tail. When next I buy one my choice of tail type will most likely depend on what the importer has in stock. * Ian RoachKiama, NSW Australia [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 61 2 4232 1775 * -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 8 September 2005 10:42 AM To: rc Soaring Exchange Subject: [RCSE] Thermal duration V or + tail I've noticed that the Europeans seem to prefer the V tails but the Americans seem to prefer the plus tails for thermal duration.
