[RCSE] Digital Camera - Final Update, I chose the Canon EOS Rebel

I'm astonished that this was such a productive topic on these groups, but I received a large amount of emails on this topic, and I really appreciated each and every one of them. In addition to comments and opinions, and some excellent reference sites, many people sent me sample images from the

RE: [RCSE] Digital Camera - Final Update, I chose the Canon EOS Rebel

Good choice. Image quality is vastly superior on the Canon's. While the Rebel is bottom of the line, it's an incredible value for the price. Enjoy R. Kramer - 30 year pro photographer Ultimately my decision was forced on me by an ill-timed and expensive computer problem. The EOS Rebel

[RCSE] Foam Worms (Again)

Update on the foam 'worms' question raised several weeks ago. Many helpful hints were posted and most have been run to ground. The problem is definitely in retreat so it seemed appropriate to share what's been learned. One source of the problem appears to be defects in the foam - either

Greetings! We are in the process of doing a mess of remodeling of our new home. Some observations are worth noting. If you need bits of foam rubber of a nice firmness for packing/protecting electrical gear in carriers or planes, go talk to the people who install carpeting. They use foams of 1/4

RE: [RCSE] Battery food-Charger

Efficient cells like the KAN's do not induce a voltage depression adequate enough to trip the peak-detect, so the charger keeps pumping in the current. That explains why the packs got hot. The above applies to NiMH cells used for normal(?) operation, as opposed to propulsion applications (F5B,

Re: [RCSE] NiMH Peak

Efficient cells Isn't the peak to which we're referring here dependant upon only the battery chemistry? Thus, a NiMH will always peak the same? The rate of charge does change the peak. Particularly the slope. Possibly this is what they were relying upon to create some promotional verbiage? Bill

[RCSE] RE: Foam Worms (Again)

Sorry but I haven't followed this discussion but only read your conclusion post. I may have been covered butt... I see that you talk about applying pressure at the edge of compressive strength of the material. In Norway, and possible the rest of the world, the compressive strength is given as

Re: [RCSE] NiMH Peak

The best way to picture this is to remember that NiCD cell's reistance (R) increases when near full charge/fully charged. As a result, for a given current (I), and an increase in R, the voltage (V) drops...to the point that the algorythm shuts off the charge process (it varies from MFG to MFG,

Re: [RCSE] NiMH Peak

Forgot to mention, actually the rate of charge does effect actual peak detection on quality (key word here) chargers. It's a give and take scenario, the more cells in the pack means one has to be a little more conservative by reducing the peak-detect value (in mV/cell - designed into the

[RCSE] STYLUS Transmitter For Sale

Up for sale is my Stylus transmitter. I bought it from a fellow on RCU in January, 2001. Other than the usual scuffs on its bottom the radio is in excellent shape. I've upgraded the TX pack to 1650 mAh. The Stylus is a bit of a battery hog, and the stock 700 mAh pack would die after a couple

RE: [RCSE] Foam Worms (Again)/thoughts about vacuum

There are still mysterious and unexplanable things going on with your bagging efforts. I'll just give you some more observations from my bagging experience and I won't try to reconcile it with your experiences. Back in the dark ages, around 1994 when I learned how to do vac bagging, I was taught

Re: [RCSE] Dream catcher close out sales

I first met Jim Simpson at the 1995 Nats. We shared a tent and spent many hours watching the rain and discussing his plans to manufacture classic sailplane kits. He had a custom giant scale sailplane that he was selling and had just completed the first run of 50 Sailaire kits. I had just
