Re: [RCSE] Sportube question
Take the lock with you, but use something like a binder ring or a hitch pin on the airline. Securely fasten whatever you use to the case and hope they put it back right if they do open the case. If you use a lock, hang the key on the lock. Use a cable tie to keep both the key and the lock attached to the case. Skip Miller has a nice clip that he uses, but I haven't found one quite like it.

Hi John, We have just started producing our Plane Packs again. I'll have some pictures on the net in the next couple of week and have a couple I can e-mail you if you'd like. The Plane Packs are designed for a 2 or 3 piece wing (you specify when you order) and will hold wing panels up to 65. Please let me know if you'd like more information.

[RCSE] Disappointed
I am very disappointed in how many of you ignored my plea NOT to come to
Phoenix (actually west Globe) for the CASL Southwest Classic (SWC). I just
noticed how many guys entered after my initial plea not to do so.
So for those of you who have not yet entered, THANK YOU, and please don't.
Based on the current entries I am going to have to work pretty hard as it is
do even do half way decently. Top ten looks pretty much out of the question
now thanks to the guys that have already ignored me. Any more show up and it
will take all the fun out of it for me :~{
So for those that haven't entered, why not stay home with your families?
Bond with the kids, clean that garage and make your significant other wonder
what's up, paint the house, mow the lawn, do anything, but stay home. What
do I have to do next, BEG???
Oh, and one other thing, the CD flies POWER!! And I'm talking about BIG
noisy planes too, not nifty little electrics. How can you trust that kind of
guy anyhow? He has forsaken you my glider guiding brethren and deserves not
your support!!!
Entry closes in early January I think, so I'm really only asking you to
procrastinate for a couple of more weeks!!
So help a guy out, will ya' ??? It's Christmas after all!!

Re: [RCSE] Glider Bag choices?
Separator/cushion is easy. Just cut up a 5$ sleeping bag pad from WallyMart, the light blue ones are good for this. I use these to get two three piece wings in a regular sailplane bag with all the parts separated and padded. Really helps the hangar rash. The snow board bags are great, and they are way more rugged than the sailplane bags. For travel to the field they work well. But, I would not ship in one of these, because your sailplane will not take near the abuse that a snow board will, and the baggage guys have been known to break/damage snow boards. They may think your ship is a snow board - and handle it that way.

Re: [RCSE] Glider Bag choices
I get them in the large boxes. I need 'em. Whenever I finish a new plane I fold a hefty bag up neatly and tape it inside the fuselage. That way I have one handy when I need it. I wish I could find a really tiny shovel that would fit in the plane - it would save a trip back to the truck when I plant one really deep. I hate to leave a battery buried in the field, it ain't environmentally kerrect. happy trails - Rob In a message dated 12/16/2004 9:32:59 P.M.

[RCSE] Team JR
I received a box in the mail today out of the blue that really made my day. It contained a very nice JR coffee travel mug, a beautiful Christmas card, some additional paperwork, a contract, and a cover letter from Peter Goldsmith that about brought a tear to my eye as I read it, and as I write this now thinking about it. As many of you know, I have flown JR gear for the majority of my soaring years, I bought it because I always thought it was the best equipment that I could buy and fly in competition, and helped anyone out that I could that wanted to know what I knew about the radios. I have always privately wanted to be on Team JR, but rarely spoke of it and never thought the opportunity would arise because I never thought, when it came down to it, that I was good enough compared to other guys on the team. Today I was invited to join Team JR, and now my models will sport their logo, and I will wear red to all the contests. I can't express properly in writing how I feel right now, but it is one of those things in this hobby I thought I would never achieve, and somehow I did. JR and Horizon Hobby are a class act and support R/C soaring in a major way, and I am proud now to be a small part of that.

Re: [RCSE] need G-10 for control horns, or suitable substitute
Yes There are many sources of this material. What you are asking for is a fibreglas/epoxy laminate. It is used for circuit boards for all kinds of electronics. You can purchase sheets from plastic suppliers in your area, look in the yellow pages. Or, look for a business that makes printed circuit boards, and contact them for scraps. You might even examine old circuit boards from electronic divices, as often you can find areaa of the borders that are useful for the horns and bellcranks you need. And, last but not least, you can make your own. West Systems or similar epoxy is best, but just about any epoxy resin and several layers of glass cloth can be laminated between two sheets of release film, or Monokote backing or even the 'plan rotector' from GP. Squeegee out all the air and most of the resin to make a very dense laminate. Cover with books or wood board, and add lots of weight. Ideal results can be had with vacuum pump. .bcAG4YQ Williamsburg, VA On Wed, 15 Dec 2004, D Hauch wrote: Hi, I need to make some horns, anyone have or know where I can get this material to make my own ?

If you are going to be in the area and would like to join us drop me an email. I will need to know your radio channel so we can avoid conflicts. This is not a sanctioned contest, fly whatever you bring. Change planes, wings, tails or whatever as often as you like. We'll launch in groups and normalize the scores. Each round you will launch against guys whose scores are close to your own. They are the ones you have to beat in order to move up. We'll have some food on the field and of course the weather will be a balmy 70 degrees or so with light winds and scattered puffy clouds floating in a sea of blue! (My forecast is as good as anybody's!) If you're in Central Florida come on over and join us! (Walk-ons are welcome. We'll do everything we can to see that you get to fly.)

I was lucky enough to get 'longest flight of the new Millenium' a couple of years back. I won't be going for a win, just need at least 10 pilots to attend for a contest 'count' toward finishing off my LSF3.

I make my own horns from carbon laminate. Use slow CA glue to laminate as many layers that you need. Glass laminate will take out your jigsaw blade in one minute.

[RCSE] Sportube answer
Yhe problem with clips and locks other than a TSA Lock is that I have had vandalism and got Sportube HALVES coming out of the baggage conveyor. With the TSA lock, you can stand there and help the TSA inspector take it apart, and put it back in, and supposedly it will not be reopened after that inspection. Holes punched in my carbon wings, big ones, and bent in half rudders is what you chance and noisy bored backroom baggage guys looking for goodies. Gordy Take the lock with you, but use something like a binder ring or a hitch pin on the airline. Securely fasten whatever you use to the case and hope they put it back right if they do open the case. If you use a lock, hang the key on the lock. Use a cable tie to keep both the key and the lock attached to the case. Skip Miller has a nice clip that he uses, but I haven't found one quite like it.

[RCSE] GENIE COMPOSITE FUSES AVAILABLE!
I've been collaborating for several months with Keith Smith, d/b/a Pacific Sailplanes, to produce a dedicated composite fuselage for the big GENIE sailplane. The intent is to accommodate modelers who would build the ship with such a fuselage available. Orders can now be placed through www.pacificsailplanes.com/. The site is very much in an early stage of construction, so please be patient. To see an enlarged picture of the fuselages, click on the ONLINE STORE box from the Home Page that displays. Click on the tiny, left side thumbnail. When the Security Information box then appears, click on Yes. Go to the GENIE web pages at http://genie.rchomepage.com/ for complete information on the GENIE sailplane. A new file THE GENIE COMPOSITE FUSELAGE is now included. Under the heading Other Miscellaneous Files click on Composite Fuselage Option. With many pictures and text, this new file details how to utilize the fuselage to complete the GENIE sailplane. The WHAT'S AVAILABLE? file tells what's available to purchase to use in the construction of this unique, scratch-buildable airframe. Questions??? e-mail me about anything other than ordering fuselages. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
