A new F5J web site is up - www.e-sailplanes.com
They carry electric aircraft, power systems, batteries and accessories; and
specialize in sport and competition F5J sailplanes. Composite models, carbon
props, brushless motors and much more.

Everyone thank you all for your help. I knew there was a few construction
experts. The one thing I found in common is cut it. I cut it and I got a new
one on the way .They are only $5 - $10. It will take a couple of days before
I fly her anyway. Although Harvey I like your idea the best but that la

Yes.
Clip that inserts in the lug holes, then is secured to the bracket with
a screw. The servo lug and clip wedge between uprights on the bracket,
and are held in with the screw.

Good day all. Hope some of you made it out to fly this weekend.
I'm looking for sources of kit cutters. Lazar or router type.
I would have them cut ribs and fuselage sides for me.
Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Craig is not answering my mail, so I'll ask here.
Is the underside of the frame open and if so does the servo drop in so the

Is the servo mounted by a screw down bracket that fits over the lugs or
through the opening for grommets in the lugs? If neithe
Don, get a couple of pieces of metal plumbing pipe the rod ends will fit

Dave,
This post gets my vote for the best post of the year so far, and will be a
very hard one to beat the rest of the year if you ask me. Awesome job by
all three kids if you ask me. I think you know which one is the third one I
am referring to. :o)
See Ya,

And to make it soaring related, go to the Otago peninsula and watch the
albatross take off and land. A relatively rare event for each
bird...but there are lots of them there and the approaches are wonderful
to observe.

I was flying today (Aquila Grande) when I probably shouldn't have been in 20

ground on the nose and cart wheeled to the wing. The only damage I have
found thus far is my outer panel snapped at the dihedral and threw

Don,
If you go to last year (2004) scores on web site shown below you will fin planes flown..
Not all pilots fill this part out on their score card, But most of them are shown...
Also look over the photo's of past years and see the beauty of the Sierra mountains in the background.
I don't know Gordy, did you mail your Level 3 sheet in before you
attempted Level 4 task?
Did you use a Picolario? 8-)

When you travel as much as I do, seeing another rock formation or old

My wife and I just retuned from 30 days in New Zealand in

planes away and see that beautiful country. Go to 90-mile beach, Rotorua;

No pilot flys a contest by himself. and its about time his partner is
shown along with him on the score sheet. :-)
Make it Man on Man and I'll be there next year. :-)
Heck I might come anyway...might.Gordy
If you looked at the scores on the S3 web
page you would notice that “Gamblers Gala “does list the sailplanes
flown in the contest. I like that practice, it’s a shame that it isn’t
done elsewhere. It’s not very tough to do. I look at contest flying as a
team effort, you and your sailplane.
Al:
With all due respect, please have another
set of experienced eyes go over your installation before you fly the sailplane.
A servo load test might be advisable if in doubt.
Sounds like you might just be masking the
problem with your solution.
