Re: [RCSE] Ballast ??

Make sure you buy reclaimed tungsten. It's a lot cheaper. I mixed up some clay tungsten by using plasticine heated to liquid state and adding tungsten until it would just press together. Forms very nicely. Also, you can use thick Ziploc bags and make any size you want by using a sealer or

That should be encouraging, then - DJA says they've recently updated the Chrysalis, and the spoiler layout was addressed with micro servos... There was a good review in the AMA mag last month (or 2), might help you make this decision. Good luck, Brent RCSE-List facilities provided by Model

Re: [RCSE] Ballast ??

Thanks for the response. Several brought up a good point saying after you mix powder w/epoxy/etc you may not gain much over lead which may be right. How about opinions on an idea I had. Get some brass tube, silver braze a brass plate(thin) on to one end, grind it down to the contour of the tube.

I saw somewhere, probably on RC Groups, but I can't seem to find the post again that someone had sheeted the leading edge of the wing. Anybody else done that? If so, did you notice any gains (stronger, no flutter, etc) of that mod? EJ - Original Message - From: Brian Smith [EMAIL

If you use a press, you'll probably blow the wall of the brass tube. The walls are pretty thin. .030 if I remember right. Jon On Fri, 28 Jan 2005 09:16:22 -0800, Marta Zavala [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was thinking about the pouring some powder into the open end of tube I prepared, compress

Thanks guys, I guess I should rephrase myself, I would just use the press to pack it in tightly, not compress it. The more I think about it Id just seal the end with some material rather than solder/braze it. Think Ill order just a bit to try it out at first. Thanks,Walter -Original

IIRC, the airfoil was designed to compensate for expected covering sag between the ribs - sheeting the LE would change that, probably for the worse. The wing is strong in standard form, and can take quite hard winch launches. I never noticed any flutter. From: Ed Jett [EMAIL PROTECTED]
