[RCSE] old Futaba servo specs
Does anyone happen to have the specs for the Futaba S33 (not 133) micro servo? Specifically, I'm looking for torque and transit speed/trainsit time at 4.8V.

[RCSE] Spoileron/aileron reaction
It is not that easy to predict how a model behaves when spoilerons are activated, just as flaps and dive brakes can create various reactions. Spoilerons (which in essence are ailerons, or flaps, just moving upward, instead of both upward and downward). Many aircraft, model and full-size, pitch up with the developement of flaps (or flaperons), like the DAW S1-26 HLG, as the flow over the wing hits the stabilisator at a different angle than before - and the nose down momentum of the flap is more than amply compensated by the stabilisator. A T-tail is probably less affected by the the downwash behind the flaps - and a few aircraft run out of elevator power when full flaps are deployed, unless a lot of extra incidence is cranked in - my friend's B-17 acts just like that at low speed, due to the great shift of CG as the gear goes down and forward to lock down, plus the flaps momentum adds up to more than normal elevator power. Most spoilers and spoileron, and crowed ailerons, result in a nose up momentum, but there might be exceptions :-)? Tord, Sweden -- If reply difficulties - use [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tord S.

The 5 gallon epoxy kit is ok for kayak building but anything bigger and it really pays to buy the 55 gallon size along with the big gear pump. :-)) All of the kayaks and paddles I have ever owned have been scratch built. About 15% of my RC planes have been scratch built. My problem is that my planes usually fly well and look ugly, some would say UGLY.

[RCSE] New to electrics with Zagi-400
Ok. Everything works in my Zagi-400, but I am wanting to learn the specifics of the battery. I charged it last night at my meter said that it had 11.02 volts across it. I ran it at about half throttle. The motor died after about 3 minutes. Does that sound about right? I charged it with a slow charger (50 ma) for about 8 hours. What should be about the max voltage after a good charger? I am in the dark about this electric stuff, so any input would be beneficial! = SINK NOT. LIFT or LIFT NOT. THERE IS NO SINK.

[RCSE] Hinges
Managed to tear both aileron hinges off my Mantis. Surprising since they were kevlar hinged and I didnt really do anything that I thought was worthy of tearing them like they did. I have been using some hinge tape bought from one of the vendors at SWC, cant remember who it was. But the stuff is pretty thick and pretty stiff! Is there any tape that can be bought from some place othere than a specialty vendor that works good for aileron hinges. Thanks, Walter RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Re: DAW KA6
What will be the best way to hookup and activate the tow release? The radio config is as follows: ch 1- throt-spoil 2- left ail 3- elev 4- rudd 5- right ail-gear 6- left flap 7- right flap 8- batt Are you sure about these channel settings? "standard" settings: 1-ailerons 2-elevator 3-throttle 4-rudder 5-gear 6-flaps "futaba 8U" additional settings for full house setup: 7-left aileron 1-right aileron 5-right flap 6-left flap 2-elevator or right ruddervator if vtail 4-rudder or left ruddervator if vtail It is common to use the throttle stick (channel 3) to deply flaps, usually a switch toggles between a camber mode and full deflection (butterfly/crow) mode. This is done via a mix, channel 3 is not actually used in the glider. It looks like channel 3 and 8 are the only "spare" channels. You could program one or the other to be driven off a switch. If you use channel 3, the throttle stick could be used as a release switch, assuming you don't need to use camber during launches. told to keep the speed up on this plane and that a hand launch probably won't be enough. The KA6 is a bit too big and too heavy for a hand launch (at least for most people). I do have a holliday standard highstart that I will use as ROG I'm assuming you plan to use a bridle harness to hi-start the KA6 (not the tow release, it won't work with a hi-start). Refer to hollyday's web site for tension values: http://www.hollyday.com/www/rubberdata.htm This "standard" hi-start "max" tension is 17 pounds, barely 3 times the weight of the KA6, it will launch it, but unless you have a lot of tubing, you won't get a lot of altitude from it, normal launch tension is 4x to 6x weight of glider, depending on strength of wings (contest gliders can use 20+x weight of glider). You might want to consider the "heavy duty" tubing from hollyday, it has 24 lbs "max" tension, which should be plenty. With the heavy duty tubing, I'd recommend 60 pound test monofilament fishing line, about 3.5 times the length of your tubing. Since there's no way to confirm the trim until it's launched, start off with partial pulls on the hi-start, until you feel you can "trust" the trim settings.
