[RCSE] Re: 8103 landing mode

I'll cop to a few "humorous moments" as they are some of my fonder memories from RC competition. However.switch flipping is an integral part of aviating. The aircraft does not know what flight mode is desired at a given moment. Pulling down a flap stick (still necessary for landing even

Hi Gang, I finally got time to finish up my new Tragi 702C and it just happened to be a perfect day for its first test flights. The plane has a beautiful fit a finish and I had really complete set-up information from F3X.com so after double checking that all the surfaces were going the right dir

[RCSE] Many thanks re: Highlander wing gap question

Thanks everyone for the quick advice on the Highlander building question. I checked the wings again and they are indeed straight when balanced on the leading edge on a straight table. So I did fill the gap with a few very small blobs of Liquid Nails pushed into the gap with a sewing pin. I will

Re: [RCSE] Aileron leads in bagged wings

(1) Hot wire method: Decide on the locations of the leads. Make up some ply templates with narrow vertical slits in them to attach to the ends of the cores. Plan to work from the core undersides. Drop the hot wire through and hold it in the desired vertical location so it burns out a tunnel. Pract

[RCSE] Aileron leads in bagged wings

I am starting to design a slope plane with fiberglass bagged wings. Until now, all my bagged wings I have made have been small polyhedral hand lauunch gliders. I was just curious as to what was the best way to get the aileron leads out to the tip. Thanks! RCSE-List facilities provided by Model

Re: [RCSE] Beginner mistake - now how to fix it? Take it apart and try again or fill the gap?

>So do I try and fill the slight gap at the leading edge, try and break the joint and refinish it, or just tape over the gap? The only really bad thing you could do is put the wing halves together so that there was a twist (one half pointing up, the other down). Check for this -- if its noticeabl
