construction It will feature a pod/boom fuse with a one-piece stab. Not
sure at the moment whether ths stab will be built up or molded. I am

Tom,
Thanks, both Jim and I had increased our stick lengths before flying. I
took mine out to approximately the same place as my 10x. It still feels "hot".

Jim,
Check the stick length, they are set at the shortest length from the
factory and that makes the TX feel "hot" on the controls.

I forwarded an email reply to the RCSE list that Gordy sent
to me in private.
I deeply apologize for that.
I didn’t notice the address was to me and not the
RCSE.
Totally my bad.
Sorry Gordy!

Jim McCarthy and I had our 9303's out at the SOAR Hampshire field today,
Jim was setting up his Fazer and I was setting up an ICON lite.

landing mode"

Greetings!
With all the banter about the grief that can happen when you ship wings and
planes it was with more than a little apprehension that I shipped my recent
sale. A week or so ago I advertised a set of Fred Sage MH32 wings on the
list. Soon enough they were purchased by a fellow in CA an
I've just become the proud owner of a new Nemesis.
The ballast tube is accessible under the wing. The opening is in the center
of the tube.
Is there any special way of securing the ballast slugs in the tube? Or is a
hunk of tape normally used to seal it?

Okay all you anti gymnastic landing for points guys, here's one
way you might be able to understand the what the second half of a TD
contest are actually about... and its not about 'landing'.
Landing is a term that fires off some preconcieved idea (your personal
idea) in your minds eye of

The only soaring races are XC and F3B. F3b unfortunately rewards
superior performance, consistency, as well as equipment.
Unfortunately most people never see F3b or only see some small part of
it and draw conclusions that are not always correct.

In out politically correct world, outcome based performance is creeping into

The reality of this part of this thread is that some people are not contest
oriented and that is great. John admits that he only went to contests to
use the equipment. Our club has 80+ members of which only 20-30 are serious
