[RCSE] Remember When

Your radio equipment included an escapement that was powered with a wind up rubber band, "EVERYONE was on the same 27MHZ frequency, and you were in big trouble if you parked in front of the chase car,as 75% of all flights were fly aways. THE GOOD OLD DAYS??? Brian RCSE-List facilities p

[RCSE] Vacuum bagging and leading edges.

I am having a great deal of trouble getting a decent leading edge on my vacuum bagged HLG wings. I cut the Mylar about 1/8" short of the leading edge. I apply a 1" wide strip of 1.5 oz glass cloth to the leading edge with 3M super 77 spray and then wet out the glass with a brush and scrape the e

[RCSE] The good ol' days.

Bill, I remember installing a servo tray which slid in a groove in both my Graupner Cirrus and my old Slope Windward. I had to switch both the Rx and servos, Thermal flying in the AM, and slope flying in the PM. Now I have alot of old servos and thank goodness I can still use them in planes.

[RCSE] Thanks for Antenna lengths

Okay, everyone, I got the antenna length (Boy, did I ever get it!), though probably you all should keep measuring your antennas and keep on posting, cause I only have about twenty replies so far, and I'd really like to do a statistical averaging of all the Hitec rx's on the exchange. I'll plot the

Re: [RCSE] The good ol' days.

Geez, When I started out in college flying TD gliders (built up puppies mind you) I had to swap out batteries, servos and receivers! And that was just a few years ago. Money was always (and now quite a bit) tight. I have now given in to my addiction and have 5 fully built and ready to go ai

[RCSE] RG15 profile in F3B/F3J

I se that the RG15 profile is used on some of the model intended for F3B an F3J. I was of the impression that the profile was primarily a speed airfoil so how does it cope with the "hanging" parts in competition? The SD7037 is the most common profile used, is this "much" better than a RG15 wing wi

Re: [RCSE] Warped ailerons-flaps on molded Psyko

heating the fuse gently with heat gun will allow you to twist the warp out and holding it while it cools will set the position. I did my eagle this way and had no problems. be sure to use only a little heat and sight the fuse with the wingrod in to sight it in. I have not tried this on a wing and

>>I have several NIB HiTec receivers. The above statement really reminded me what it was like when I started in modeling. Remember the day when you only had ONE receiver and ONE airplane? Then you got a SECOND airplane and had to swap receivers! Ahhh, the good ol' days. May they never return!
