 How bout really long  wide spoilers on a T-tail design?  I'm thinking
 18" x 2" w/a servo on each side to ensure 90 degree deflection.  Add a
 long tail moment with a full-flying stab above the downwash then slave
 it to spoiler to maintain attitude.  Hello spot landings:)

I had a 2T by HOB that I put spoilers on the flat center section that deploying the 
spoilers would make it do an outside loop!  I
have a picture of it on my web site if you want to see it.

I think you'll find that you want to keep the spoilers OUTSIDE of the stabs, whether a 
"T", "V", or conventional stab.

 Everywhere.  If the days aren't getting any longer where you live, contact

[RCSE] Low price fully programmable radio

1999-12-24 Thread Augusto Arevalo

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a radio to buy for a very good friend
of mine.
I want to find a radio that does EVERYTHING for a full
house glider with all the mixing a glider of that type
needs like crow, snapflaps, butterfly but I don't want
to spend a fortune.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

[RCSE] Winch Stuff

1999-12-24 Thread Bob Rice

As much for my own curiosity as anything, I would like to get
the following information for anyone using a Ford long shaft winch:

Which motor (3110-6v, 3115-12v, ...)
winch Line (type/test/length to turnaround)
Drum Size:
Battery Size
Real Balls?
Type of Sailplanes launched (Molded, Composite, Buildup, all of the above)
Use retriever?


Please indicate if this is a club winch (club name to avoid duplicates)

If possible, I will try to summarize the results and post on the exchange.

Re: [RCSE] first computer radio

1999-12-24 Thread Oliver Wilson

The Airtronics RD6000 allows you to switch from one program to another in
the air by the flip of a switch. This feature allows you to try out a
modified program in the air at a safe altitude. Even more important, it
allows you to put different flight modes on each of the switchable programs,
effectively doubling the number of preset and programable mixes available.
In some ways this makes it more versitile than many radios costing two or
three times as much. If that isn't enough, it is also one of the easiest
radios to program. The only possible incompatibilities are the polarity of
the modulation which might not agree with your Hitech receivers and the
servo plugs on your older Airtronics servos. There are adapter cables to
solve the latter incompatibility.

Regards, Ollie

Hi guys,
I am looking to get my first computer radio and I am considering which might
be the best.  As all of my receivers and servos are set for airtronics or
hitec. I am considering the airtronics RD 6000 and the Multiplex cockpit MM
series.
I fly floaters and electric gliders .
Thanks for all opinions.

~At the end of every message is the following instructions:

~BUT, the right way of doing it is to leave the Subject line blank,
~and to have the entire body read one word only:

subscribe

~Be sure your sending the request to the right email addresses too:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

~And make sure you're using plain text!  Now, soon after you will receive
two emails, one saying somebody (maybe you) requested to join RCSE...

The other email has text code that you need to cut and paste into a new

Re: [RCSE] AMA Disrict VI Soaring Rep

Rich's E-mail address is elegantly simple. [EMAIL PROTECTED] My vote is for 
1 rule. 3 servos. That's it! Whatever can be done with 3 servos, do it! That 
condenses the class name down to 3S, too! From there, let the pilot bring to
