[RCSE] RES Landing Aids

In the RES heyday, many RES planes didn't use shark's teeth. They used a piece of rubber with a rough surface as a skid. Some used pieces of car mat others used the tread from an R/C knobby tire. Here is a safe (although I too, have wondered about the real incidence of injuries from skegs)

Re: RE: [RCSE] Kestrel Wind Meter

My Girlfriend bought one for me for Christmas (she ROCKS!). She said she couldnt get the lower end model because they were out of stock, so she bought the next level up. Mine has the wind speed, average wind speed, max wind speed, temp, and wind chill. It works pretty well when you don't for

[RCSE] R.E.S. landing device?

A landing scag is imperative for safety. In competition we seem to be landing downwind alot especially at the nats or bigger contest where the winches arent moved during the course of the contest. For those not attending the larger events , the landing areas are crowded and a pilot is sometime

[RCSE] Sailaire Improvements....

Before I begin my winter building project, I thought I'd ask the list for any suggested improvements or modifications. Any thoughts on what one should do to improve on a sailaire? Paul P.S. I've already heard that you should shout "Pigs in space" when you launch the thing. RCSE-List fa

Re: [RCSE] MORE RES Musings from the Muser himeslf (and other stuff)

Thanks to Mark for the musings on RES. It's great to hear some logic applied to the subject. I fly some contests with the guys up in Eastern Canada. They prohibit skeggs. I had asked why and they said something about safety. Many years ago the USA people made much ado about skeggs and also about n
