With respect to the winch load values being quoted and using those values in
the previously-posted formula for wingrod sizing, I'm getting some large
wingrod sizes. For example, for a 2M wing, a 150 pound winch load requires

So, let me guess where Denny's vacationing this year... ;)
Agreed, Paul's vids are top-notch. The "Soar Utah" video is on my to-get
list.

Guys
Does somebody know where I can find a plan by plane Wilga in DXF or DWG?
[]'s an good flights.
John Derstine has some aerotowing info at his Scale Soaring site:

And I think that Sailplanes Unlimited has aerotowing info, too:

I plan to try
Here are the weights on my Chrysalis:
AUW: 12.25 oz
Wings: 4.25 oz (2-piece wings)
Total fuse weight: 8 oz
1.5 oz 150 mAh battery
1 oz nose weight
555 Rx, HS55 servos: 1.4 oz
"Bare" fuse: 4.1 oz
Covered with transparent Monokote (fuse wings), lightening holes in V-tail, 1/8" CF
It'll be a tight fit no matter what.
I just retrofitted spoilers to an Oly 99 and here is a rundown of what I did:
1. I cut a 3/16" deep notch in the ribs just aft of the spar and framed a rectangular
spoiler bay out of 3/16" x 3/16" stick balsa. The floor of the bay is 1/32" balsa
sheet
I've toyed with the idea of getting an ARF and electrifying it, but with all the extra
work it'd need to make an ARF airworthy, I'd be better off building one.
I'm thinking about doing this with Ray Hayes' 2-m Lil'Bird, BTW.

Can anyone recommend a good source for "The Old Buzzard's Soaring Book?"

Two ways to do this.
Go to the AMA site at http://www.modelaircraft.org/ pull up the page(s) for AMA clubs
in your area and look for sailplane clubs.
Another is to go to RC Soaring.com and look at Joe's Soaring Clubs page:

I'd doubt that you can do much with a home-rigged system here. Restaurants have a
fire-supression system (like Halon) installed around the stoves; I'd look in the
Yellow Pages and see what is available.

This has been a good thread.
Here is what I need to do: at our slope site we have to launch 14-26 ounce foamies
(many times Zagi wings) off the slope into 10-25 mph winds. Trees down below generate
turbulence to 8-10' above the launch zone, so what we need is an upstart/bungee system

Actually, the Composite Store (cst.com) recommends that the CF pushrod tip be crushed
(for glue penetration) and thin CA'd into the clevis or rod end. And with the "rough"
threaded area of the clevis, that glue joint would be that last thing to fail (IMHO).
