I just learned the meaning of the saying that if I didn't have bad luck I
wouldn't have any at all. I mounted the 3110 motor in my winch frame and
ran it so I could sand the shaft like you would in a lathe. I had to sand
the entire length of the shaft. The end by the brushes was harder as I
Thanks everyone for your suggestions on how to get my motor to fit my Real

About a year ago I bought a 3110 starter motor for my winch. When I tried
to install my Real Balls I found that the shaft is too big. Can you turn
the shaft down or sand it down to fit?

children so other activities are limited.
You can't fly model airplanes in any of the school grounds and I assume the
same is true in the parks. This a fairly recent restriction. People used

The Fresno Silver Cup is for pilots 55 and
older.
Visalia has our registration form on their website
but unfortunately it is last years form. If anyone wants a form I'll

Walter,
I always thought it was due to children chewing on toys, their crib and
items around the house that were painted with lead based paint. They
exhumed some lost explorers and determined that their death was caused from
lead poisoning. They were eating food from cans that were sealed with lead.
I initially thought it was strange that you had USA mailing address but then
I remembered that I wanted to mail a package to a friend in Alberta. I
found that Canada is not a user friendly place to send international mail.
This might not

I hope no one considers this as a viable alternative. I fly in contests for
the pure enjoyment. There is no way I will pay double entry fees to fund
cash rewards for contests. Contest attendance will probably decline.

There is not an Open class sailplane any longer. The Open sailplane class
name was changed to Standard. My guess is that the AMA changed the name to
eliminate any confusion with the Junior, Senior and Open classes, which
refer to the pilot's age. But, by all means, let's call the
the names without the Contest Board approval.

Can anyone point me to a source that sells shrink tubing, the size that
allows you to make a AA flight pack. My local hobby store sells the size
that allows you to make AA flat packs but I need the size for square packs.
All I've found so far on the web is the size for wiring.

I think the AMA rules and the FCC rules are being merged together in this
discussion. The last time I looked at the frequency allocation table for
the Ham bands, the frequencies we use for our sailplanes was for the use of
controlling remote control devices. I do not remember seeing any
Yes we used to call it the Doctor Pepper. Doctor Pepper used to sponsor the
contest, after a couple of years of them not sponsoring us we changed the
name. If you remember or field was called the Brick Yard as it used to a
site where they mixed and formed adobe bricks. Come and see us again.
No secret. We need to do a better job of advertising. A lot of flyers from
the L.A. area joined us this year.

Can anyone tell me what foams are available at the Home Depot's (or equiv.

In Fresno, CA, there is a company called Valley Foam that uses foam to

When I fly my normal frequency, 50 Mhz - channel 09, I don't get any
aileron-rudder coupling in reflex mode. If I change the frequency module to
72 Mhz - channel 40 and use a different RX I get aileron-rudder coupling in
reflex mode. I'm using Airtronics RX and Futaba RX in 50 Mhz and Futaba RX

I don't know if they still do it but, when I bought my Stylus 2 years ago
Airtronics would sell the Stylus direct to the customer at below retail. I
talked to Bobby Tom. My local hobby shop takes forever if you buy thru
them i.e., they said it would take 6 months to deliver a 50 Mhz crystal,
Recently someone indicated they had Vision and
Stylus modules they wanted to sell. They were on the 50 53 Mhz
band. I was busy preparing for the setup and running of a 2 day contest
and didn't get a chance to respond. Now I cann't locate the note.
Are they still available?
