Re: [RCSE] Servo extensions
Rob, good stuff about the servo connectors but you failed to mention one must have the eyes of a eagle, the dexterity of a surgeon, and way more patience than I have to crimp those tiny pins w/ that tool. I make connectors up using the same stuff but almost always count on two attempts/two pins to get one pin properly crimped-gets expensive after a while. Is there anything out there that can just be soldered?

Re: [RCSE] Re: altimeter for sale
I found a better price than I could get them for. You can get one here for $129.99 + shipping http://www.ishops.com/ruoutside/freealtwatch.html I found I really can't make money in the hobby business, so I try to get people the best deal possible, even if it is someplace else.

The rest are not very accurate. Here are the specifications: The lightweight FS Altimeter Watch accurately measures altitude in 3' increments. Records rate of ascent/descent, total vertical feet for the day/year, number of climbs or descents, maximum altitude attained. Sleek profile features jumbo buttons for use with gloves; night vision backlight; quick-dry neoprene band with extender for use over gloves; dual location setting for quick calibration; patented on-screen help window; user-replaceable battery. And, of course, day, date, alarm, and time. Waterproof to 200.' Wear your stories on your wrist. One size; color: silver/black. They are $200 at the store, $159 at discount. I'm getting ready to order several and will tag on additional units if anyone is interested. The price will be $145 if anyone wants to get in on the deal.

I'd like to know what is the most updated version and where I could download it. Thanks in Advance, The link below should help. There is also a hand launch simulation that takes the vertical wind profile into account. You specify basic glider character, throw character, wind profile, and have four phases that you can set Cl (elevator) and duration of the phase. This allows simulating a throw-pullup-coasting-roundoff sequence of elevator input. John Liftroll is at: http://homepage.av.com/johnhazel/downloads.html ___ Why pay when you don't have to?

[RCSE] dihedral question
Hi guys,
I just finished bagging a wing for an old fuse and tail feathers that were
laying around. I intended the wing to be used for RES class, so it is
polyhedral. The trouble is that when assembled, the wing looks flat and may
not have enough polyhedral. I just used the TLAR ("that looks about right")
method to determine the poly. I'll list the specifics below. Does the wing
need more poly? If so, I can do one of two things: kick up the tip panels, or
add ailerons. Can I add enough poly just by raising the tips? Thanks in
advance!
Wing specifics:
120 inch total span, each wing half is 60 inches.
each half is triple tapered, first panel is 10 inch constant chord (24 in
long), second panel tapers to 7.75 inches (also 24 in long), third panel
tapers to 5.5 inches (12 inches long).
First panel has 3 degrees dihedral (wing rod is 6 degrees), second panel has
6 degrees of poly relative to the first panel, third panel is flat with the
second panel. I could add poly to this third panel if needed.
Thanks again for any advice,
Stan Sadorf

[RCSE] MPI reciever, anyone?, Hitec feather rx, also.
Okay, so this Maxx Products Inc. company imports some nice litte servos, their little MX-30's which are a very viable alternative to HS-50's, and thinner if you like to put 'em in wings. and they distribute Hitec stuff, I guess, too. Now, they also import an rx, single conversion, competitor to things like the hitec feather. 1000' range, etc., under the Maxx Products line, called the MX6800 or something alot like that. Anyone have experience with these?, Comments?, comparisons to the Hitec Feather? And how are the Hitec Feather rx's faring out in the world, after what seemed like a bumpy start into the market? Anyone got a story on that with some real perspective? Anyone having tons of fun with their totally trouble-free feather rx?
