[RCSE] coyote idiots
Well,it looks like the weekend is upon us, though the the forecast is not looking so promising. Looks like rain. But I understand there is a small group of "dolts" that have been flying at Coyoteevery weekend all winter regardless of the rain or wind. Now that's hardcore. Maybe I'll just join this "bufoon squadron" myself. Just go and punch some holes in the sky and RELAX. To Mr. Klissner- No matter which slope site you choose, I wish you favorable winds, smooth air and big lift. Peace. Blue skies, Max
Re: [RCSE] Re: Triple Taper Wings
Robert, Can you post the panel lengths again, as the first 2 panels total approx 38" and with the tip it comes to nearly 46". Not really 2M. Thanks. Chris -Original Message- From: Robert Steinhaus [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Friday, March 24, 2000 12:51 PM Subject: [RCSE] Re: Triple Taper Wings In response to Mario Marzocchis post requesting help with triple taper wing planform design I have put together a note including the following sample wings and some web references which may help you understand wing planform design a little better. I feel the following two triple taper wing designs are examples of good planform. Wing Design - Joe Wurts Eagle AR=13.320 Area=933.60 Suggested Airfoil RG15 (at least a few Eagles were built SD7003) Root Chord 24.77 cm (9.75") Root Panel Length 63.0 cm (24.75") First Break Chord 23.3 cm (9.187") Mid Panel Length 61.0 cm (24") Second Break Chord 17.6 cm (6.93") Tip Panel Length 17.7 (7") Tip Panel Chord8.66 cm (3.41") The following 2+ meter span three panel wing is derived from the Joe Wurts Eagle and has similar lift efficiency and aspect ratio. The tip chord is slightly larger than it would be if you linearly scaled the Wurts Eagle Wing. This was done to try to improve handling and tip stall (especially low speed/landing) on this smaller wing. Wing Design Two - AR=13.20 - Smaller Span and Proportionally Larger Tip Chord RG15 Root with RG15 Tips Root Chord 21 cm (8.3") Root Panel Length 51.79 cm (20") First Break Chord 20 cm (7.9") Mid Panel Length 46.58 cm (18.34") Second Break Chord 15 cm (5.9") Tip Panel Length 20.7 (8.15") Tip Panel Chord10.8 cm (4.25") RG15 is used for Root through Tip.. No geometric washout (twist) is used on this wing. If you have not already downloaded a copy of John Hazels fine LiftRoll.xls spreadsheet you should do so. This fine quality free tool helps evaluate local lift distribution and is valuable when comparing/evaluating wing planforms. http://homepage.altavista.com/johnhazel/downloads.html The following two web resources may help you understand better the process of designing a wing with good planform and lift efficiency.

[RCSE] Intermodelbau 2000
I just found out I will be traveling to Warstein, Germany (appx 30min to Dortmund) at the same time as the Intermodelbau 2000. I'm Arriving on the 11th with my wife and 2 boys to visit my bother and his family. I definitely plan to attend the show and it would be great to get together with any from the list who may be attending. Perhaps we can work something out!

[RCSE] Mojave Phone Booth
I just stumbled upon a Web oddity, a site devoted to a lonely phone booth out in the middle of the Mojave Desert. As a Parker Mt. vet, I was curious if any other Parker types have ever been to, or called the infamous Mojave phone booth. This could be a Level VI accomplishment. And, if you leave a Jack-In-The-Box clown head there - you'll get a Level VI, with Oak Leaf Clusters!

[RCSE] PF6
I just received a Dave Aircraft works PF6 with the slightly more powerful emg1 geared motor. Looks like a real great idea,,, semielliptical epp wing created by using a molded carbon spar that holds the wing in shape. Anyone flying one yet, any suggestions,, looks like a lot of fun.. I've been flying Twinstar and enjoying it for its long duration flights, but like the idea of a slow flyer to use in front of my house,,, Blaine Zaid Pacific Palisades, CA __ Do You Yahoo!?

[RCSE] DAVES S 1-26 HLGDOESNT WANT TO DIE
HI GUYS !: today,friday i finish working arround noon,then i was relaxing in my building room looking at my sailplanes hanging from the ceiling... there it was..my s 1-26 hlg with pieces of covering missing,the nose in pretty bad shape after houndreds of flights...still had the servos in. i had retire it like 5 or six months ago. i suddenly had an idea. i took 2 pieces of carbon arrow shaft about 6 inches long and taped one on each side of the nose leting like 2 inches protruting to the front of the nose,then a straped a speed 400 6 volt motor and 6-3 folding cam prop on top of the arrows giving it a little of down thrust ,. i then soldered some 16 gage wires to the motor lead s and extended the to the top of the wing were i put a speed control,,further back ,on top of the fusselage i sraped a 7 cel 500 ar pack from my zagi 400 and played with it to optained the balance at the spar.. my scale reeds 32 oz! i know "very heavy" but i thout wat the heck!! i didnt wanted to remove the reciever pack tha was inside the hlgs nose so proceeded. all this instalation was done in the outside of the s-1-26 and it took 15 minutes...it looked llike it would never fly so 15- 20 minutes later im in the flying field.. one of my friend sed "what the hell is that!!!" just an experiment i sed... i turn on the tx and gave it full throttlesounded nice...so i gave it a hard strait throw. OHH !!WHAT A SURPRISE! THE S 1-26 HLG STARTED CLIMBING VERY QUIKLY.. i took it up so high i cood bearly distinguish it.. i did loops .,wing overs even flew inverted. what a fun day...cant wait till tomorrow! this little hlg that i used to learn to fly just doesnt want to die luis ps sorry about my english "its my second language" RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Programming a V-Tail
Guys, I'm trying to program my JR388 for my 2M Monarch. Do I program a special mix (6-2 maybe?) so that the ruddervators will deflect as the ailerons are actuated? Is that done by getting to the 6-2 mix, and then programming in a value for the deflection, both up and down, for both ruddervators in each direction of aileron throw? HELP!
