[RCSE] KLINGBERG FLING THING

2002-10-04 Thread Paul Rickie Clark

Yah!  I know quite well that the Klingberg Fling Thing is one of the last 
Mohicans of the RCHLG oldies--1994; just goes to show how fast things have 
changed.  I felt sorry for my ole'hobby shop man and took it off his shelf 
to help him out.

Any idea what the airfoil on it is!!??  It ain't thin--Eppler 205 
!!??  With two spars on the leading edge it looks like a well turbulated 
wing in addition to having two dihedral breaks after the center break for a 
neat looking wing.  I would be considering dropping the tip down and 
building it as a DHL--and adding a sub rudder.

Now another alternative would be to unload it to one of you collectors out 
there--I couldn't be adverse to that; I do have other projects on hand :-) 
!!  However, I do like to build--you know birds with ribs and spars that 
emerge from clouds of balsa dust with see through wings . . . :-)

Re: [RCSE] Fwd: help with a configuration on an XP662 JR radio

2002-10-04 Thread Bill Conkling

What's the problem?

I have a 642, and to use separate servos for ailerons, you have to enter
the setup mode by holding both program buttons down while turning on the
radio, and then select 'flaperons' I think.  Then plug one aileron into
the aileron and one into the flap (ch6) and it should work.  The manual is
pretty helpful and will tell you which servo (left/right) is which.

 Could anyone help this gentleman?  I'm not familiar with the 622.

[RCSE] Tips for building EPP planes

2002-10-04 Thread Bill Kuhl

I have only built one EPP plane, a Ruffneck several years ago.  Received a
couple of JW's yesterday and read the instructions thoroughly, but wonder if
anyone would have any tips they would like to share? To be more specific;
radio installation, taping, or hinging.

Thank you,

Bill Kuhl

[RCSE] If you are an AMA CD read this

2002-10-04 Thread Cal Posthuma



You just had $30 removed from your 
pocket.

AMA now is only offering 50% dues instead of 100% 
for your work as a CD. This was a unanimous vote by the council. 
Check last council minutes on AMA web page.

Problem here is you probably put sanctions in early 
this year thinking you would be earning dues for 2003.

This sounds like a breach of contract to 
me.

If they want to do this it should apply to 
2004. This is like contracting for a certain wage and when the job is done 
reduce wage by 50%.

If you care, send email to your council 
member. Email addresses are on AMA web page.

RE: [RCSE] anybody order a Sharon tip

2002-10-04 Thread John Derstine

I don't know about larger and more effective, but the Sharon Pro is
currently available with a conventional tail, two of the ones coming in next
week are thus.
All are sold.
Lead times are down to about 6 weeks now since this flying season is coming
to a close, if you want a Sharon or Space, do not wait until Spring to order
one. Since they did well at the worlds they are very popular.

Hi John,
I did not order the tip  but I have a question. I heard a rumor that
the Sharon Pro would be updated to include a larger, more effective X
tail. Do you have any news on this or any other Sharon Pro updates?
Also, what are the flying weights of the X tail 3.7 pro??
Thank you for your time.
