[RCSE] New SF Bay Area Wind Streaklines Map
Hello, For all you SF Bay area slopers (and other interested parties), take a look at the new "Streaklines" wind map by the USGS. VERY COOL ! (and useful) http://sfports.wr.usgs.gov/wind/streaklines.shtml (Notice how Pacifica gets the best NW winds.) Rick Powers RPV Industries RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Selectable Tx FM frequency shift polarity
FM radios modulate the base carrier in frequency (slightly increasing and decreasing the frequency of the carrier) to transmit information to receivers and servos. The polarity of the shifting of the carrier is different for different manufacturers. It would be nice to use one transmitter with all styles and manufactures of FM receivers. I would be grateful to know if any FM computer transmitter offers the feature of switchable frequency shift sense (selectable FM shift polarity). Does anyone know of a manufacturer making a transmitter having this feature? __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] You know your getting old when....
I must be getting old! I have a F3F race this weekend and I ordered some models in December so I would have them in time for the season. Because of one thing or another they haven't arrived yet. I was able to pry a Pike F3F model from Mark Taylor's cold dead fingers for this weekends race. I have a few 'Hot Laps" on the Pike at my local slope in Costa Mesa but that is all. The Pike is a very easy plane to fly and is quite fast, by all means a world class model. But it's not mine. As I was getting my work life in some kind of order so I can get away this weekend, the guy in the little truck pulled up and delivered my Acacia order. I tore open the box, found the hardware and assembled the model Yea Baby!! Now let me think, if I do an all niter I can get it together, get up early, pack the car, change my oil, drive to Los Banos before the sun sets for some trim flights, enter the contest, post fast time, win every round...Hey, after all the model is already built! The younger Tom would just be removing the wings from the bag of his next "World Beater" two days before the contest anyway. That set up was good for a few victories in the past, it also had a built in excuse for a bad showing! Now the Getting Old part. I didn't do it! I thought about it. I just couldn't do it. The thought of a good night sleep was too overpowering. (The bench was dirty anyway) The older (Wiser??)

Re: [RCSE] Selectable Tx FM frequency shift polarity
I would be grateful to know if any FM computer transmitter offers the feature of switchable frequency shift sense (selectable FM shift polarity). Does anyone know of a manufacturer making a transmitter having this feature? The Airtronics Stylus. It works great with any main FM brand receiver. The no longer produced Airtronics Vision also does.

[RCSE] U.S. Slope Site Directory...Post your slope! (read first)
If you are posting a slope, make sure that you give all asked information except for the slope's name. I need the state its in, the city or nearest city, type of slope, wind direction, and directions to the slope from major highway or road. A few of the posts have been saying that its not in a city so they don't give the nearest city. However, they do give the interstate, which is great! But...interstates run through the state, so please give the nearest city, so it is easier to find the slope for those traveling flyers. The directory is for those flyers who are going somewhere and want to see if there is a slope close to where they are going.

[RCSE] Reconfigure Square pack to Flat !
Dear all- I have a 600ae 4-cell square pack that I want to convert to a flat pack. So, I removed the plastic heatshrink, and removed one of the metal tabs that connects two of the cells. I've hot glued the cells into the flat shape, and now need to reconnect the two terminals. Question: Should I reuse the flat metal strip and solder it on, or maybe use a piece of braided wire ? It looks to me like at the factory they press on the metal strip, as there are 4 little indents in the terminal. Are there any tricks to soldering on a battery terminal ? Also, any tips on the best way to wrap the new flat pack for additional strength ? TIA- JACK. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] RE: [F3F] You know your getting old when....
Yeh, riddle me this batman. If a guy takes his backup plane to the slope two days before the race and crashes it into the slope goofing off, was he a genius for flying his backup plane or still a stupid idiot for goofing off. I have my opinion, and I did not sleep well last night Jerry R.
