I just learnt to DS 2 days ago, it is so exciting! it really push your plane to its

I will post this here to cover the majority of requests for the Passaj.
Thanks for all the interest on the Passaj wings.
The wings are made in hard female molds with a solid 2 lb foam core. You
need to cut and hinge the ailerons yourself. Fit 2 wing servos and linkage,

It seems to me that decalage is greatly oversold. Changing decalage simply
biases the elevator position, and can be entirely compensated via the elevator
trim
on the TX as long as the elevator deflection remains modest. There should be
no effect on handling.
This is obvious on an all-flying

It works, it is just that hydride.htm isn't copying or loading up when you

Sam,
That is a sad story, F3B can be tough on equipment especially with howling
wind and Hi-test line. In all fairness to the Hera it is a great airplane but
is designed for F3J, that is why it weighs 10 ounces less than an F3B Cobra.
That weight has to come out from somewhere. By the way, You
In theory this is correct. In reality the theory leaves a little to be
desired - when working with very small static margins.
Decalage is the last thing I tweak up when I'm trimming out a new fixed
stab airplane. (Although sometimes if the decalage is way off it will need
initial tweaking

I am coming in from Maryland for a weekend of fun flying at Los Banos

If changing the decalage on the glider DOES produce a noticable change in
handling, then one can conclude that the elevator response is nonlinear,
which indicates something bad and draggy is happening.

Yes it is necessary to jump the diode in the TX (providing there is one) if
you want to use any type of smart charger. If you did not do this, the
charger would not be able to read the voltage of the TX battery pack through
the TX charge jack. You can eliminate the need to do this need by
For about a dollar you can make a fusible link that will protect your wing
from folding on launch. It consists of a snap swivel, a welded ring and a
few inches of monofilament selected for the desired breaking strength. The
snap swivel connects to the ring on the end of the launch line and the

Hi all,
I like Brian's method, it's normally called learning and knowing how to use
your equipment, it's limits and it's draw backs. Pedal to the metal is not
the most desirable way to launch any plane on a good, strong winch. Of
course some of the bigger, heavier planes will need all,
hehehe!

NONE OF THE ABOVE.. I would invite the onlooker to fly the club glider on
the buddy box and invite the onlooker to a club contest and club meeting.
Then if the onlooker is still around he may have some idea of what he wants.
By then he should know what a FLASH5, Hitec 555 even looks like.

Yes, there is the rub. You have to know how strong the wing is by testing
one to destruction or asking the manufacturer. If the manufacturer doesn't
know or won't tell buy some other product. Then use the next smaller size of
monofilament. Not all full house 2-meter wings are the same strength.
"Not surprising. The 10% SD8020 is too thick for most glider tails. A slab

Both will surely have nonlinearities. A 5-6% thick airfoil with the max
thickness point
well forward at 20-25% chord is much better, since it is immune to most
hysteresis effects.
