My most fun moment while flying had to be flying on Francis Peak this past
September during Soar Utah The adrenalin rush I got while flying my
Graphite for about an hour at whizzing fast high speed non-stop on top of a
mountain is unsurpassed in my experience. I can only imagine what it would
be
I can't argue with you on this one. Flying Francis Peak is definitely an
inspiration. What a view! I have had the privilege of flying there several
times. I remember one evening Dave Reese I went up on the mountain before
the Soar Utah event started. I had one of my full-house gliders
I remember a thread about a certain model JR 6 channel that had some
problems.
I have a JR X226 I haven't used, got it in a toy electric from
someone. Just wondering.
Thanks

RC soaring is so consistently challenging and satisfying that one almost has to
qualify peak moments by emotions: fear; exhilaration; satisfaction. etc.
For me, the moments that pegged the emotional meter most consistently have come
at Parker Mt. You can read about my first pilgrimage here:
Would any owner of the new JR 9303 answer my question?
I have a Graupner/JR MX22 radio, same physical form as the 9303 but
with different software, I think.
In the instruction book, there is a mention of a Lithium battery
that keep the memory in the tx alive. The instruction said that
I wonder if this is the same for the JR 9303?
No, it is not. The 930-3 has a non-volatile memory in it. No battery
required.

Has anyone flown the Scorpio Condor from Hobby Lobby? Anything good/bad?
Any suggestions for an inexpensive power system?

Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to get the word out... Hobby People has a sale
until this Tuesday on the Triton Charger for $109, save $20
for a charger that can do just about any battery
pack:NICADs, NiMH, Lead-acid,Lithium-ion...
Just wanted to get the word out as I was surprised when I
walked in
It was COLD this morning...and over cast from yesterdays rain storm.
We got to the field a little late about 11:00am. Ed didn't have the winch
with him, figuring no one would fly today, but the winds were calm and AOL said
warm and sunny today, so I cajoled him into bringing it out.
By the
Glad to hear someone else
got out in the midwest. :-)
I got in a few hours of
slopen this morning, then the sun broke a
little, so got the winch
trailer out and the X-21.
It was blowing 15 to 20
mph, and 41 degrees, had a great time.
Zooms where huge with the
X-21.

The 9303 does not share this with the 9X. It does not have a backup battery
in it.
I had a Triton. I used it once and destroyed a lithium pack I hadn't
even gotten a chance to use. It will read a charged 2cell pack as a
dead 3cell and charge away. POOF! Get a Peak or Kokam unit instead.
They set up manually, so YOU are in charge of the settings.

I have two LET Albatross ordered, the last two until further
notice.
4 meter, suitable for X country,
winner 2004 NATS, thermal fun flying. And
designed with electric conversion in mind. 16 cells.

David, the triton is manual setup only. It does not auto detect the cell
count. The user must select the nominal pack voltage and charge rate. They
work fine for lipos IF you are careful to set it properly. Improper
settings can cause damage.
BUT...The Sirius chargers are what you need for
I own a Triton and it has been very reliable. It has no autosensing function
for Li-Po chemistry, this is as manual as the Kokam or Peak units. If it
charges a 2S pack with 3S voltage, it's because you told it to. I can
definitely recommend this charger for anyone looking to charge up to 3S
Tough question. Overall, I
think I have had the most fun with the Infamous Flamingoid, the 2 meter
Gnome in yard flamingo drag. It has had three or so memorable
half hour flights, and one startling appearance at Mt. Knobly for the Cumberland
Slope Fun Fly. It flies better than it has any
I have 2 Tritons. They work fine for LiPos'.
Just have to set a 2 cell for a 2 cell and a 3 cell for a 3 cell
(Manually) Over 100 LiPo cgarges without problems.

Selling a Futaba Trainer Cord I found while going through a box of stuff.
It has a big round plug on each end with 6 pins inside it, its also 10'
long. I know it worked with my Super 7 I had, but sold it years ago.
Make offer if interested, not sure what it would be worth if anything.
Anyone down that way interested in some racing ?
Greg Smith from www.slopeflyer.com has everything we need in
his f3f timing system, and where both game for coming down
for some racing.
We will have to watch the weather towards the end of a week,
then jump on any opportunity we get. It will

Guys,
Yep, the Jouster was a competitive plane for the course we use but it had as
much to do with Wayne's thumbs as it did with the plane. He flies a nice
tight course and is very consistent. The Jouster is dead, Long live the
Jouster! See you in June, Wayne!

Hey Dave,
I'm a TD type flyer in the Chicago area, but my father lives just a few
miles from Brookville Dam and would love to see some good slope flying. If
you guys wouldn't mind a spectator, let me know when you'll be racing and
I'll pass the info on to him. Hopefully, I will get down to
24 matches
