[RCSE] cover repair question

Picke up a very nice Electron used. It has a slit in one of the wing bays. How can I patch it? Should I cut out the whole bay and recover? Is there and easier way by somehow covering the slit? TIA Mick RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and

that will probably work even. Go to the Shack and get one of their large torrodial rings like is on your computer cables. They have some that allow you to wrap the line and then snap the ring closed. Do it to the supply side of the charger. G RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane

[RCSE] Incidence angles

For the younger generation brought up on fomies and composite lawn darts, never built a "real model airplane", and doesn't understand incidence angles, I highly recommend an article by Jim Alaback on Page 38 of the September issue of Flying Models. Larry's article alone is worth the cover price

[RCSE] aileron pushrods

The convention seems to be to have the aileron pushrods extend out from the bottom side of the wing. Is there an aerodynamic advantage to placing these things on the bottom as opposed to running them on the top side of the wing? (...just use RADs and don't worry about it...) dave. RCSE-List

[RCSE] Negative side of the Nats

I have finally recovered from my trip to the Nats and have been reading all the glowing remarks about the Nats. I decided that it was time to post a letter about the negative side. To be truthful, there wasn't much negative about the sailplane portion of the Nats. The only real negative was

Re: [RCSE] Battery size for open class full house sailplane

My advice: as others have said, put the largest possible battery in the plane that does not add unnecessary weight. I have a 1650mAh battery in my Genesis. The key is to have more battery in the plane than you have in the transmitter. When you get home from what you think is a typical day of

Re: [RCSE] Where is energy conservation law in sink?

Wind is doing work on a glider, in an updraft, it increases potential energy (gravitational) or kinetic energy if the pilot corrects for the updraft. In a downdraft, it decreases potential energy, or kinetic energy (if the pilot corrects for it and it doesn't stall). Changes in wind speed, or

Re: [RCSE] Dynamic soaring question

A theoretical and experimental investigation and article was written up in "Technical Soaring" (an SSA publication) in the early 1970's. It can be done, but requires a medium high performance sailplane, very precise maneuvering, and a strong wind to produce the necessary gradient. Dan deVries

[RCSE] Re: RE: Robbe does!

All, Competition electronics has been making chargers to do this as well. They are called the Turbo chargers. You can vary the charge in fine increments up to 10 Amps. The discharge rate on some are Fixed at 4 amps but will give you a calculated capacity for 10 amps. I think they make another
