[RCSE] Re: Removing old covering, more info
I used a lot of silkspan and Jap tissue on my Nordics and Wakefield models. If I was going to recover the thing, I used 320 or 400 sandpaper and sanded through it down to the wood. That way I didn't remove enough wood to change things, and it went slow enough as to not mess things up. I've done the same with Monokote on very delicate parts, like thin rudders and stabs. Takes a while but the results are good. -- schrederman schrederman's Profile: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/member.php?u=13218 View this thread: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=910675 RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Re: RES vs UNL vs DLG
Lincoln sez 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. Well, I've been scratch building for a long time. It is so much easier with CAD and laser cutting now that it's easier in my opinion than building the kits of old... and certainly more accurate in duplicating airfoils. Cad drawings are very fine line and plotters are much more accurate than the old methods of producing plans. Lincoln sez BTW, although I've flown 2M a LOT, I think 100 inches would have been the better limited size. I would be ALL FOR THAT!!! There are many models that were designed in 2-meter size that would benefit SSO much from 100 wing span... But somehow, that isn't what happened. Just exactly how DID that happen, anyhow? Yeah, I'm one of those friends don't let friends guys... I can't help it!

[RCSE] AVA vs. Bubble Dancer... Woody?
The AVA, per current rules doesn't qualify as a woody. Ray Hayes wrote the generally accepted version of the rules and any model with molded wing parts doesn't qualify. The Bubble Dancer, on the other hand, doesn't have molded leading edges, or other molded wing parts, so it does qualify as a woody. I saw reference to this question, and thought I'd clarify it for those that were possibly wondering. -- schrederman schrederman's Profile: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/member.php?u=13218 View this thread: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=905271 RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Re: El Paso / Alamogordo
I got to fly for an hour on top of Caballo Mountain, up above Truth or Consequences... first slope soaring experience ever... Threw my Bantam off in almost no wind, but it's light enough that I was able to fly for a while. I never got it more than 100' or so above me but there was just enough lift to keep me coming back around. Then It died, and I almost didn't get the model back... I finally had to fly around the hill to the other side where the road comes up and land it on the road... and picked it up on the way down. I've been up there several times, and I couldn't believe it could be absolutely still at 7500', but it can. I've never been up there when it wasn't blowing at least 20 knots... I stopped on the way out of El Paso, Friday, at the R/C field and made about 50 hand launches with my Bantam. I thermalled out twice, but chickened out with all the mesquite and ocotillo sticking up out there. It was too early and the thermals weren't cooking well yet. Oh well, I'll try again next trip. Maybe I can fly with the ABQ boys some in the future.

[RCSE] Re: NATS 2008
Did they ever take the hint and move 2-meter from the middle? To each his own, but I don't fly 2-meter. If the 2-meter devotees are brave and want to see how much real interest there is, move it to the front of the competition... so that those not really interested will not have to compete out of boredom. Unfortunately, there are those that view this event as just another shot at being a national champion. Their numbers may be significant enough to falsely keep the interest going at the NATS. In my opinion, if we reinstated standard class, there'd be just about as much interest for the same reason. Not going this year. but will be NATS bound in 2009. It's my goal to compete at least once before I croak. -- schrederman schrederman's Profile: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/member.php?u=13218 View this thread: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=898657 RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Do you use a frame to keep it from twisting / warping? Do you use some kind of bladder inside? I built one once, for a Legionair. It turned out OK, but sure could've been better. Thanks in advance...

[RCSE] Terminal Eagle... Legionair Question
I had tried to answer an email question about Legionairs. It came back so Terminal Eagle... here's your reply... Hi Tim, Legionairs fly very well, for a model of their time. They were ahead of their time. The last 140 I built was the red-white-and blue one on Ray's site. I built the main spars like a Houston Hawk, and used a steel tube joiner. It was a bit heavy but it flew very well, and launched at least as well as the bagged models. Legionair setup is a bit tricky. The bottom of the wing has to be parallel to the stab for the decalage to be set correctly, and it's not a wing that likes a sharp leading edge. The radius shown is not quite round enough. I used a full 1/4 square for the leading edge so I could make a slightly larger radius. It will be a dog with the decalage set wrong, or the CG too far forward. The CG shown on the plans is OK, but it will fly better with it further back. I trimmed mine by setting the decalage, setting the elevator to 0, and moved the CG back until it got pretty squirriley. I then added a touch of down trim and usually flew it right there. One word of caution, keep the empennage as light as possible. The nose moment is short, and it requires a lot of lead with a heavy tail. Ray added some harder wood for the tail pedestal. I would use some light balsa instead. I'm going to start on my last one just after the SWC contest. It will be a 132 with 2 added to the tail moment. I have a 100 to repair... From what I see, Ray's kits are of better quality than the originals. Best of luck with it. I will always have a Legoinair... :D Jack Womack -- schrederman schrederman's Profile: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/member.php?u=13218 View this thread: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=811435 RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Gordy, can you read? Pretty tactless on your part. I'd be willing to bet you a paycheck that the lines at TNT were'nt much more than 600'... that's what I suggested... 600'. There's some wisdom in what I propose if you think about it, which was the goal of the challenge... to make some people think. I have been around this world of soaring since the Windfree was king. I know that there are too many Gordys out there to ever get anything changed and made more challenging. It gets easier all the time with the better sailplanes and higher launches and the landing aids. I wonder what you would have been like as a modeller when we had to build it to fly it. I don't find it challenging to launch to 8-900' with a nearly aerodynamically perfect 140 model to make 10 minutes. I just want the rest of the US soaring group to think and maybe someone will come up with something better, more challenging, and more fun. Apparently what's happening IS shortening the lines already. Our numbers are falling off. Some of us are concerned about that. Now, who's really got farts in his brains? Pretty tactless on your part.

[RCSE] Re: Challenge...
Bubba... Well, if there were more than 2 glider guys within 2 hours of me, I'd put on a couple a year. I've been CD at more than my share of contests, beginning in 1975. Clovis MADS club may well host a glider contest this year. It's going to be a stretch, and I'm going to have to count on folks coming from out of town since there are only 2 of us in Clovis. The winch (1) will benefit from all the talk and thoughts of this and other posts. Gordy, I'm not sure where you've been in the USA Soaring world, but I will assure you that the winches I launched on 33 years ago are indeed eclipsed by many of the winches in use today. The look is the same, FLS motors, etc., but they pull a heck of a lot harder and faster. Read the challenge... Who am I challenging? The status quo and the ongoing escalation... Do you think I'm so dumb as to not know the challenge is greater from a lower altitude? Are the guys that practice and take this seriously going to win? Of course they are. This has nothing to do with some pie-in-the-sky crap about letting beginners win. As I said... put some challenge back into it. Airframes have advanced along with launching systems so that making your time isn't really too tough, anymore... especially if the lines are really out there. I put my winch out in Houston once at 300 meters. I could have flown to Galveston and back on that much altitude. Please read what's written, and don't read anything else into it. It's not there. By the way... the challenge says standardize, not weaken... if that means 6V winds with real balls, so be it. As to the skeg piece... Why not take that crutch away. Make the landing tape 40' long instead of 25', and still measure from center just like now. If you're really interested in what hard on airframes I believe that sudden stop is probably harder on them than about anything. Go ahead and let this escalate, and see where the attendance goes. Strange that I don't remember you from those days when the winches got totally out of hand and the kits (and lots of the builders) went away... and the attendance fell way off to not very many. Those that don't know history are bound to repeat it.

[RCSE] Challenge...
Well I posted this under Best wishes for 2008... but not too many looked at it... So here goes :eek: For this year, I'd like to issue a challenge to the soaring community. For 30 years, we've been launching as high as possible, trying to stay aloft for 10 minutes, and coming down on a spot, carrying a skeg that many times arrests on the line rather than the ground. That gets old... in fact it got old a long time ago... My challenge is to standardize the American TD winch, including line strength, and to do away with landing skegs. I also think the turnaround should be no more than 600' from the launch point. Let's put some challenge back into this. Flame suit ON!

[RCSE] Re: Icon 2
We've been saying it for years, and not enforcing it. If a guy breaks the line and isn't made to fly it out, he hasn't learned anything. I like Mike's solution. Limit the motor power to below line strength. Launch mentality and techniques would change, but the competitons would run smoother because of less line/equipment failure. Unfortunately, as in full-scale, it comes down to money for most guys. They have other interests and really don't want to plunk down $2500- for model and radio to be competitive. Wake up, guys. If this keeps escalating, attendance will continue to fall at contests because the guy flying a $600- model will finally quit coming, and you'll be flying by yourself. Last year's Standard-Class Nationals at Hobbs NM had 20 competitors. 20 years ago they had over 80. Sports Class is the only growing class because you run what you brung. Plenty of room at this year's TNT, I noticed. I've never been to SWC but I'm going this year. Probably going to the NATS if I can work it in to my schedule. Is attendance falling at contests at all levels? I'm afraid so. Will we ever get a clue?

[RCSE] RE: Icon 2: Lines in a Twist
If you come to my contest, you'll be launching on 180# line and if you break it, you'll fly it. Just because you have no skill, just brute strength, is not my problem, either. So who says we have to cater to your HIGHER line strength needs. There is something in the rule book about the CD settting the rules of a particular contest. If I have everyone showing up with ICON 8s or whatever, 300# line is what I need to provide. My suggestion of 180# line doesn't actually cater to anyone. It's still too heavy for lots of models. It's actually strong enough to launch your Icon or my Onyx JW. The real world is that not everyone wants the latest carbon gobbler to fall out of the tree... so DUUUHHH!!! yourself.

[RCSE] Re: Icon 2
Back when we were using 6-V batteries, and 80# line, there were 140 and 150 models, and they outlaunched everyone. I see no need to limit the unlimited class... only the launch power. In this scenerio, I see no other sloution that allows everyone to launch from club equipment and keep the contest running. I think Smokin' Joe has made the most sense. Learn to launch without breaking the line/equipment, or don't bitch when you have to fly it out. Expecting officials to have 300# line is like going to Mexico City and expecting everyone to speak English. Perhaps if a broken line were to equal 0 for the round, we'd learn to work within the limits of the equipment really fast. -- schrederman schrederman's Profile: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/member.php?u=13218 View this thread: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=787234 RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Re: DLGs = Bang for the Buck, NO WAY; Benchmarks- Get Real.
OK... First Houston Hawk cost $130.00... retired at 250 flight hours in 1221 flights. Second Hawk was $112.00... 10 hours and sold for a larger sum than I'll disclose. Third Hawk was $120.00... add $55.00 for a newly aquired fuselage, $26.00 for Monokote, and $8.00 for a new 7075T6 joiner... being rebuilt after 267.5 flight hours and 1331 flights... All at a profit of over, well... if I told you that, you'd know how much I made selling the second one... Bang for the buck? Got 'er beat!

[RCSE] Re: Supra or Onyx JW??
Just so you'll know... I have flown the JW 6 times and it now has 59 minutes of flight time on it. :D Benchmark? I'll let you guys puke in each other's dry pockets over that one. I will say this... For me, I will probably compare other models with this one for some time to come, and I haven't gotten the CG or settings right yet... I will give it my precise leading edge polish and a few other little details and here we go! But then, even the JW is, in my mind, being compared to the original Houston Hawk... Yep, braggin' just a bit... :p kinda like a proud papa. You can have your benchmarks, I have mine. :D Jack -- schrederman schrederman's Profile: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/member.php?u=13218 View this thread: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=772985 RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Re: Supra or Onyx JW??
Or perhaps it's because I've flown both and could see no real difference... except one comes with all the radio stuff for the same price as the other airframe. I'm spending the difference on a winch... :p And besides, I'm on the list for something better. Hi Gordy...

[RCSE] Re: Dragonfly Strong
Well, everytime I get a wild hair to sell this model, it surprises me again. I flew it today in very light lift in Albuquerque, and it performed very well, out thermalling some of the moldies. I did crack one stab half a bit today, but will have it repaired and recovered before bed time. I am SERIOUSLY thinking about building another set of MH-32 wings and new stabs for this fuselage. I was thinking of bagging them but I've decided to keep it a woodie with carbon spars... hold on to your shorts... The AutoCad is fired up!

[RCSE] Re: Soarcraft Magnum 12
Well, I could thermal mine out from a wingspan high, and won my first contests with it. I did a few things, like strengthening the inner wings and lightening the outers by tapering spar stock, etc. In spite of it's long span, mine would turn well, and 8 oz. of lead on the CG would take care of the Texas winds. I could thermal it as well or better than most models I had owned up to that time. I have always been an aft CG guy, so maybe some others had it nose heavy, but I can't speak for them. My only problem was that the inboard rib sets didn't match, and I stacked them and matched them prior to building.

[RCSE] Re: Soarcraft Magnum 12
I had 2 of them back in the '70s. They did indeed fly well and were a nice build, something that's lost on most modellers these days.

[RCSE] Re: Final Glide - NTSB Report on Mark Navarre
Mark was a good pilot... both R/C and full scale. I met him a couple of times and we exchanged emails a couple of times. We had very similar interests, both being glider pilots and R/C pilots. He is sorely missed.

[RCSE] Re: Would You Believe a Jet Hit a Sailplane and Everyone Lived?
The glider was an ASG29, and the jet pilot, flying at approximately 300 knots, would have been hard pressed to see the sailplane in time to avoid. See and avoid being the operative words, I'm quite sure that the jet pilot would have given the right of way had the glider been seen. Makes me pucker a bit, and use the unicom frequency to announce my presence, altitude, and location when near airports... especially when landing. A white glider against a blue/white sky from 2 miles is almost impossible to see. How fast do you cover 2 miles at 300 knots? Believe me, it happens fast.

[RCSE] Re: Relaxer and Winglets
Winglets have been beaten to death several times. The problem was that not enough research was done before pronouncing them dead. Properly done, they do add performance at low speeds without seriously affecting the higher speed glide ratio. If winglets weren't beneficial, they would not be appearing on EVERY new competition full-scale sailplane. I have done some models with winglets and I think they worked well, especially in low-speed circling flight. The Houston Hawk has winglets and it's absolutely amazing how tight it will turn without falling out. I had a 153 RES ship with winglets that I made VERY carefully and they worked very well, again especially at low speeds. They were not detrimental to the higher speed glides. I thermalled it out in hand-launch level stuff on a regular basis, before I launched it with the transmitter set on the wrong model... drat... Still have the wings, and will one day build another fuselage.
