Hi all,
I am working on a 1/3 scale Elfe and need some help. This will be the first
time I have used a retract on a sailplane, and am a bit baffled. What
actuates the door/s for the landing gear? Is it the wheel/gear? Or do you
use a linkage to "drive" the door? Also are there any sites that ou
Fortunately I haven't had this happen to me. However, my wife used to work
to for UPS, part of her responsibilities included "damages" (boxes that are
damaged or suspected to have the contents damaged). With all the different
things that ship through UPS (which makes for some interesting storie
Check out http://www.hollyday.com/rubberdata.htm for some
tension versus strain data (depends on tubing cross sectional
area). These numbers very closely match what I measured with
standard latex tubing.
Another common size for tubing is 3/16 inch inner diameter, 5/16
inch outer diameter, with a
I'd be pissed if it wasn't replaced too, although the damage might still
have occured in shipping.
A while back, a friend of mine bought an Opus V from RC Direct. It arrived
in two boxes, with the v-
tail in a seperate box from the wings and fuse (which is fine, that's how
they ship them). On

I have one Package "A" complete Little Big Winch system packed up and ready
to ship. One flyer said they wanted it, but they never sent their money in.
So, whoever emails me first gets it. I have a backlog of orders most of the
time, but I usually catch up mid Summer, and that is the case now.
You ought to see my Patton Zero on the bungee! 35 feet of
the Hobby Lobby orange stuff pulled until it shrieks puts
the Zero into orbit. I have a tape-on tow hook that I mount
at the leading edge.
And yes, I will have it along with me at Visalia again this
year for some after hours entertainment.
I did an alert on the RCSE about the Sircam virus which I've now received no
less than 19 times at work - twice in Spanish. Before I did the post, I
cheked out the virus warning at Carnegie Mellon (www.cert.org) and Symantec
(www.symantec.com) . Nothing wrong with virus warnings, it's passing
I sure did Denny. Thx
I really love what you have done to the Sidewinder wing. It is alot
stronger and can really take an all out launch. I plan on using it on the
Xterminator Pro fuse on those light days.

I didn't know that. Hell, I just turned it on and waited a few seconds to see
The two things that I can think of that would cause that are: releasing too
late and hooking the release.. Releasing too early should only cost you
launch height. By hooking I mean that your body stops rotating but your arm
still is. This is also linked to releasing too late. There are alot of

Be careful when bungee launching a foamie expecially if it is not built for
it. I have pounded two of them when the speed over powered the ailerons.
Just start with a couple of pounds of pull and work up from there unless the
plane is built for it. I would say that a standard high start can pull

How about trying a triangle rubber pencil wrap, so the knife doesn't roll.
You should be able to pick it up at the drug store when you get some more
band aids.

Or a high start?
