RE: [RCSE] New FMA RX is tiny
They're just trying to imply that it's a "real" receiver, one with the capability of handling a large scale aerobatic ship. Whether this is really true will "come out in the wash". They're trying to be sure to differentiate this from the Feather-style receiver designed for relatively close-up flying only.

Re: [RCSE] New FMA RX is tiny
Here is the online description of the new FMA RX My question is; What does IMAA legal mean? is this what is needed for multi flyer HL use? Thanks, George Quantum 6 Sub Micro Receiver Part Number: 506FM With the trend these days to smaller equipment for indoor and park fliers, there are a lot of receivers available from a lot ofmanufacturers who are rushing to market with some really small and really disappointing designs. Most of these designs are not even 1991 compliant. Most are single conversion. Most do not feature full range and if they do claim it, they dont deliver. People are buying these receivers with the thought of putting them in a small airplane and flying in their back yards. Fine, but what if you want to go to the average flying field with or put the same receiver in a larger airplane to use at the field? Chances are you will have problems with interference, electrical and/or RF noise and you might even crash your plane especially if more than one or two people are in the air at the same time. FMA engineers have a vastly different approach. We will make our receivers as small as absolutely possible without sacrificing one ounce of performance. In fact, our latest, 5th generation receivers are not only the smallest and lightest we have ever produced, they are the best performing, most selective, most reliable we have ever produced. At FMA, we strive to make it better-smaller, not just smaller. Rush to your local dealer and get a peek! The new Quantum 6 is a full-featured, full-range, dual conversion receiver that is smaller than the Tetra which it is intended to replace. With dimensions of 2.12"x0.80"x0.58" in heatshrink, and a weight of 14gm (0.5 oz) it can be used in anything from indoor to park fliers to IMAA legal with no sacrifice in performance. Available in either positive (JR/Airtronics) or negative (Futaba/Hitec) shifts, the new Quantum 6 is the smallest, high-performance, dual conversion receiver available.

[RCSE] NO it's not really a Trileron on the Escape
> Do you know what the addr of Dave Wenzlicks web site is? > > Thanks, > > --Bill My web page about how I set up the 8U Super to fly the six servo wing Escape is at: http://www.users.uswest.net/~slickraft/escape.htm I have been very careful NOT to call the outer aileron a trileron but none the less it is confusing. A Trileron (Robertson Trileron) is a triangular shaped wingtip extension of the existing aileron on the wing. It is driven by the existing aileron and servo so it is actually two surfaces driven by one servo. The six servo wing of the Escape has 2 flaps and 4 ailerons all driven independently by it's own servo. I have been calling the outer aileron for what it is. The outer aileron. The middle one I call the inner aileron. Here is what a Trileron looks like and how to build them into your wing. http://www.users.uswest.net/~slickraft/tritext.htm Dave Wenzlick Mesa AZ RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Setting up JR Radios for 2 ailerons on Escape
This is interesting so I'll jump in with another alternate method (this will work on a 783/388 as well): 1. Use glider mode and ENABLE dual flap mode. Select SW + T for flap mode. 2. Plug a Y-harness into channel 1; connect it to the flap servos. 3. Plug outboard ailerons into channels 2 & 5 4. Plug inboard ailerons into channels 6 & 7. 5. Center all surfaces, adjust aileron throws, etc. Set your flaps so they go 90 degrees down with full deflection of the throttle (flap) stick, with your crow/butterfly switch in landing mode ( I use position 0). 6. Put crow switch into camber position . Use MIX B to mix CH1 to CH 1 at a negative value (say -80%), switched on at BTF0 or BTF1. Done correctly, when you pull the flap stick down in landing mode, you get full flaps; in camber mode, you only get partial (camber) deflection. 7. Set your launch and reflex settings on the inboard ailerons using travel adjust for the three-position switch. Enable Flap-aileron mixing with FUP+FDN switch selection, and the appropriate percentage to get the outboard ailerons to droop with the inboard ailerons. Then use MIX A to mix CH 6 (master) to CH 1 (slave) to on FDN to get the flaps to droop to match the inboard ailerons in launch mode. 8. Enable aileron-flap mixing, using the mixing switch. When the mixing switch is engaged, both inboad & outboard ailerons move together as ailerons, when not engaged, only the outboard ailerons move (NOTE: an alternate way to accomplish this is to use MIX F to mix CH 2 (master) to CH 6 (slave). Mix F is a trim & include mixer so it will affect channels 5 and 7 as well. Turn on with the BTF 0 or BTF1 -- with the crow switch in "land" mode you'll get both ailerons moving together, in camber mode only the outboard ones move. This way you only flip one switch, instead of two, in the thermal -- but you can't switch the ailerons out separately) 9. Turn on Flap-Elev mix, selecting FUP+FDN, if you want elevator compensation at launch. 10. With the crow switch in landing mode, pull the flap sitck to your landing position. Use MIX SP to adjust first the F setting (inboard ailerons) and the A setting (outboard ailerons) for full crow. Add elevator compensation as required (or use an 8103 P-mix to have a non-linear mix). 11. With the crow switch in camber mode, and the flap stick all they way down, use MIX SP to adjust the inboard & outboard ailerons down to match the inner flap thermal camber. 12. Use the elev-flap mix if you want snap-flap, MIX D if you want rudder-elevator mix. You should now have: launch mode on the three-position switch (flaps & both ailerons down, with elevator preset). Reflex on the three-position switch. Landing mode, flaps down, outboard ailerons up, inboard ailerons up or down (your choice), on the flap stick. Camber mode: flaps & both ailerons down, adjustable with the flap stick. Normal camber mode uses outboard ailerons only -- inboard ailerons mixed in by hitting the mixing switch (or use landing mode with the alternate setup). Is this what we're looking for? comments?

Re: [RCSE] Victor wing question amongst others
Pete, this is how I built my two Victors: after sending, spray the wing area with a little 3M77. let dry and carefully position the glass cloth. apply 30min epoxy with a small brush. My Victor took a lot of abuse and the wing is still in one piece. It has actually sliced a few balsa wings in mid air and only gain a few minor scratch. People actually try to stay away from it now. However, for a plane with such strong wing, it has very very weak tail. what do you expect for this price...

Re: [RCSE] Setting up the 8103 (3810) for trilerons
The third wing surface, outboard ailerons, are used to control bank while thermaling. The inboard ailerons are disengaged. This makes the wing super efficient. For perspective, a wing half is 64", the inboard ailerons span 29" and the outboard aileron 9.5". While thermaling, you only use the outboard aileron, so only 9.5" of the wing is disturbed. Of couse, roll response suffers so you'll only want to do this when you have the plane trimmed and balanced and you definitely turn on the inboard ailerons for maneuvering.

Thought I'd step up to a molded sloper (Victor) after tooling around with my Boomerang. Now I'm presented with problems such as wings with no spars and precisely how to join the 2 wing sections. The manual merely states "sand away the paint and glass the wings together". Now there's fiberglass in the box and I assume I'm going to have to impregnate this with epoxy but which kind of epoxy and what would be the best procedure? This alone doesn't seem to be a substantial bond without a spar for strength. Also I'm to mix microballoons and epoxy to fill in the cavity I make for my hold down bolts.

I konw I have to make the site more user friendly and hopefully I can do that soon. Take a look at the Mods Darwin Barrie did. He took 2 CS-10s and mounted them side by side so they drove the ailerons independently. It was great. He also did Trilerons and says that heped the turn also.
