What are the options(different planes) for 60 inch EPP racers? Do these planes get flown in class races by clubs or are they just practice planes? Mike in Arcata RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[RCSE] CNC hot wire

Hello, I am embarking on the cnc hot wire quest and have gathered my more capable(than me) friends together for the project. I was wondering if the few people on the list who use this setup could answer a couple of questions I have? 1. When cutting smaller span cores (we want 48 inch max) than

[RCSE] EPP

Foam melters, I have been cutting pink foam for a while and have just done some tests with EPP. I am getting quite a bit of what I would call "angel hair" with the EPP. Before I waste a buch of this stuff testing temps I would like to poll the list and see if it is possible to reduce the amount o

Re: [RCSE] Chrysalis HLG, first ideas

Bill, I have a Chrysalis and it is a great plane. I built it stock with the smaller suggested tail volume. I covered the wing per plan and have had NO problems with flutter even with a strong"ish" throw in windy conditions. I don't think you need fancy(expensive) reinforcement. I used the stock c

Re: [RCSE] Jenner and wire weight?

Eric, Thanks for your response. It's easy to forget the global nature of the internet. I live in Arcata California and Jenner is on the coast north of San Francisco. Mike in Arcata (California) "No idea where your Jenner is, but the nearest place to slope by Jenner, Alberta, Canada would be al

[RCSE] contest format

Ladies and Gents, I will be CD'ing a pylon race next month for the first time. I would love to hear advice for running a smooth event. Our club is pretty small so I expect no more than ten flyers. I was planning to have two classes: 48 inches and 60 inches. I remember a big hullaballu awhile

[RCSE] tails

[RCSE] Cold F/G

Thank you all very much for such good ideas for helping epoxy cure at cold temps. I will probably be making a box of some sort with all the foam I have saved up from my wing cutting learning phase(ongoing) and use some lights to heat it. Luckily winter has not set in yet and the average garage te

[RCSE] Cold F/G
