I put aprox 30 pictures and narration up on the web site from the F3J World
Champs in Greece. I've had quite a few people ask me what planes were there.
I tried to get pictures of the more frequent, or interesting ones.
Anyhow, here it is: http://www.f3x.com

I HAVE noticed some centering issues that seem to be related to large
temperature changes, but it was always very minor.
What is a large temperature change in Hawaii? 8-)
Sometimes in Chicago we have to use the heat and the air conditioning in

We get 15 deg F changes from

In my other mail, I have mentioned that the "Karlton Morning Range

Hi guys,
One of you out there has a site showing how they set up a box with lamps
for curing wings.
I can't remember where I saw it, can anyone help with the URL.
One of the chaps in our club would like to have a look.
Thanks

Greetings,
I recieved many interesting replies on this. The best results in
pouring lead into larger diameter tubes come from filling the entire
tube prior to cutting it into the smaller lengths.
Oh well! Since I had already cut the tube up, I opted for the
simplest fix and used a urethane glue
An important feature is being overlooked in these tests and the debate.
PCM (and I think IPD) are programmed to go into fail safe when the voltage
level drops below 4.8 or 4.7 volts. PCM rx's emit a low battery warning which
if ignored, will deploy the fail safe mode. For those of u using

I've used Volz for eighteen months in two F3F models, just installed them in a third
and yes I considered using the red ones, in fact I have a couple of mcV2's still in
the box.
Apart from some wear in the older ones, the WingMaxxes have been rock solid.
I've had a little neutral drift with
Hi All,
I think that most of you would agree that the elevator servo in a TD plane
(that's all I fly) is the most important servo in your plane... so which
servo do you use in your open class plane in the mid 60 oz weight range.
Thanks!
I am so willing to PUT up or SHUT Up on the receiver issue.
I have decided to hire a R/F lab in the morning to get all the hard data
that you want.
BTW we have NEVER been afraid to post such data even on servos!
Ever see Japan Radio or Futaba post data like this on technology for R/C?
Mike,

I have been following the posts about servos and Rx. I just had to

I have invested a good bit of money in radios, planes and servos over

expensive servos or even have the latest design Rx. I have a

Having a molded plane and the top of the line, most expensive equipment
WOULD NOT have gotten me
in the top five on either day, only better flying.
Have you ever flown in a contest with a " molded plane and the top of the

If so what was the out come?

We did a test here at Visalia to see what kind of current draw. We were
thinking of remote batteries to the winch. We launched a 117" glider full
peddle, folder the wings and meter MAXED over 200 Amps. That ended our
test, and we knew there was too much line loss to continue. We were going
