[RCSE] High End!

I thought the High End looked pretty good.. But since it's an F3J glider, I didn't expect the fuse to look like anything but thin. The thing to appreciate is the wing. That's the tool, that is what we are flying, and it's the part that changes the most. Look at a full scale glider.. The fuse

Yes. Laminating film is very thin and not very tough. You can cover planes with it. It's easy to get at any large format print shop. They often have roll ends that they can't use because they aren't long enough. I use clear adheasive backed carpet covering from Lowes to cover plans with.

The failures were on 2 different winches. All winches are Tim McCann winches, all have Cole Hersee solenoids. The only difference is one winch has a Ford 6V motor, the other has an Injoy 6V motor (not the new ones). We run with 12v batteries. We have replaced the solenoids with the same

George, when installing the solenoids you must use 2 wrenches. One to keep the lugs from turning (it has a nut on the lug), the other to tighten the nut. Do you know if that was done? George wrote: The Cole Hersee solenoids that had failures are the 24059 and 24037. George MeyersWD6EQS

I have maintained the Eastern Soaring League winches for several years. The one thing I've never had to replace an any of the four winches are the solenoids. There was one time when it appeared that there was a solonoid failure. Upon closer examination, it was just a loose connection that had
