Re: [RCSE] ZAGI-400 kit is here! Need those building
I had heard someone say that it is recommended to put a dowel in the wings to prevent the entire wing from fluttering in dive. Is this true? RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [RCSE] Trainer Cord...
The 8U series allows you the choice of mixing or not mixing the students controls through the master. Kerry Cochrell wrote: Ya! incredibly stupid on the part of radio mfg's. But they take the serial data stream from the trainer box and send it directly to the RF modulator. The Master does not have any effect on mixing, ATV's, trims or special functions. Futaba's 9Zxx is different but i haven't tried using it with a 'stupid trainer box'. You are only supposed to train people that have the same radio that you have with the same settings. Kerry -Original Message- From: Jones, Philip [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2000 5:54 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [RCSE] Trainer Cord... This is probably another dumb question, but Just reveived a trainer cord for my Futaba 7UFGS. I have never used one before, so I assumed I could just hook it up to my old Futaba 'Gold' 7 channel set (no batteries or freq module) and give my 5 year old some better stick time (rather than fight him on the sticks!). I mainly wanted to use this on my Zagi-400 which, of course has elevon mixing (actually I set it up with channel 2 4, V-tail and mixed the rudder 100% to the ailerons so it all works on the right stick). So, last night I hooked the two transmitters together and got a surprise - when I pull the trainer switch, the 'slave' Tx moves the surfaces but with NO mixing (elevator moves right elevon, rudder moves left elevon, aileron does nothingthrottle works fine!). The 'slave' Tx does not have all the features of my current Tx. Does this mean I have to have a 'slave' transmitter with the same mixing capabilites as the 'master'? If so, I can't see the point. I assumed the stick inputs from the slave Tx would go through the same mixes as the 'master Txor am I being incredibly dumb? RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] ZAGI-400 kit is here! Need those building
I've built one for myself and 2 for customers and, other than covering them with Ultracote, have built them per the instructions with no variance. Mine's been flying for over a year now and I have yet to encounter flutter. I fly it with 8 cells and regularly dive it for speed passes in front of the pits with no problems at all. Neither of the other planes have had problems either. I don't know if the Oracover is helping to stop flutter or not but we're all having a blast with no flutter.

RE: [RCSE] ZAGI-400 kit is here! Need those building tips!
Mike, I just ruined my Zagi 400 this weekend from high speed wing flutter. I built mine pretty much stock but used an .020 brushless and 2" strapping tape to accommodate the extra G's. I have done every maneuver possible with this plane at high speeds and never even dented an LE. This weekend during a big, long inverted Emelman I pulled out smoothly to level flight (blazing fast at this point) and with no warning at all the wings started flopping 6" up and down. I never even got an elevon buzzing, just wopp, wopp, wopp. It threw a pushrod into the prop and stopped the motor cold. Once the oscillations stopped it recovered and glided down safely. My wing is now a collection of stretch marks and loose, mushy foam cores mainly on one side where the instructions tell you to cut the diagonal slot between servo and receiver bay for the antenna wire tuck-in. Yeah I had cut right through the strapping tape (per instructions)and that seems to be the epicenter of the foam damage. I would cut the receiver bay and wire slots right after joining the wings and then use the strapping tape or carbon ribbon and covering. Also the receiver would be better placed between the servos at wing root because everyone ends up using lead in the nose. I read somewhere too that coroplast makes a good light spar if you take the time to install. I definitely will build another due to the fun factor, the plane is a great way to loosen up before flying my Laser 2m which is a twitchy sailplane. This time I'm going all the way, carbon tape, some kind of spar and Ultracote. Does any one think that the 1/8" elevons taped to a 1/4 to 3/8" trailing edge is a great way to induce flutter? I do, next time I will sand my TE on the bottom for some drag reduction. You will love your Zagi!

RE: [RCSE] Sirius charger with 5 cell pack
Assuming you've got the Sirius Charge Pro, then yes. The Rx side does 3 to 6 cells, and the Tx side 4 to 8, so both outputs will do 5 cells properly. Actually, as far as I can tell all their chargers will do 5 cell packs. You can check out the spec's at their website: http://www.teleport.com/~sirius/ FWIW I run 5 cell packs in my F3B models and can confirm that the Sirius Charge Pro works just fine on them. It's now the only charger I use on my RC batteries.

Title: RE: [RCSE] Flex cables vs carbon rods Doug, that method is just too cool, great thinking! Jack Laird -Original Message-From: Doug Boyd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Monday, May 08, 2000 7:17 AMTo: Jeff Reid; [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: RE: [RCSE] Flex cables vs carbon rods Jeff et all, I don't use cable rods anymore at all. I prefer to use a carbon tube with a carbon rod running inside. I use the rod inside to move the elevator, and the tube on the outside to move the rudder. They run down the fuse unsupported, and have no flex. They support each other (just like a good relationship) and the setup I use in my Psyko (which is really just a copy of the Windfree, just different span, airfoil, tailgroup, and planform) is lighter than the litesteel pushrods that came with it. You have to tie a short pushrod on the outside of the tube with some kevlar thread and CA, but do it right, and you will be rewarded with light, stiff, and best of all slop free controls. BTW, I wish I invented this, but I COPIED IT fair and square from Bob Dodson, who might hav invented it, or copied it, too.

I may consider replacing both Dubro cables with carbon rods. Distance from servo to control horn is about 42.5 inches, and it's a straight shot, (viewing down the fuse from the tail end, I can see the servo arms). I've already got the one cable off...worth the effort to remove the second one and replace with the hollow carbon rods? RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
