Dale, Thanks for the report on the FASST system. Did you make any special installations or did you just stick the receiver inside the fuselage, same as you would a 72 MHz system. Ed Anderson Date: Mon, 26 Nov 2007 09:43:57 EST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Soaring@airage.com, [EMAIL

[RCSE] So, having read the 2.4 Articles in this Month's RCSD, What's your 2.4 opinion?

I have the FASST system in my new Lightspeed hand launch glider. I was careful to place the antennae ends in areas where there was no carbon. That being said, both ends are adjacent to electronics, the carbon boom and strips of reinforcing carbon. The two ends are at 90ยบ to one another. I

Paul MacCready (creator of the Gossamer Condor, etc) gave a talk at TED back in 2003, where he discusses a number of project he'd worked on, including the Condors, the EV-1 electric car, Helios and the Walkalong glider. Must-see stuff for soaring and oddball aviation enthusiasts like us...
