[RCSE] A web site to explain the different F3's ?
I am familiar with the F3x letters, but I don't know what they mean. I am sure they refer to different types of soaring. Is there a web site that will explain what F3B, F3F, F3J, and AMA TD are? I didn't find it on f3x. Thanks Miles RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[RCSE] Futaba 103F Rx

[RCSE] Super V
As a matter of fact, I just traded 2 of my personal stock for 2 molded planes! I won't mention the new owner but he has won both Mid South and TNT more than once! Let's think about this, $1300 worth of molded planes for 2 "out of date" 2M's. Does this sound odd? Not in my way of thinking. I talked to Mark Levoe right after he quit production. He had an almost 8 month backlog. I like many feel the plane died an untimely death. Fortunately this can be rectified IF there is enough interest. George, Watching this thread develop, I have to add this comment: It seems to me that the interest in the Super V seems to be primarily in the 2M model and not the larger one. The interest also seems very much a regional thing, much like the Predator XL and Predator 4 by Dave Hill of Hawaii (he's my neighbor). I've only seen one Super V in all the contests (especially the big ones) I've been to in the Southwestern U.S. in the last two years. In fact, favorite models seem to be even more localized by club! In just the Southern California area alone, I've seen distinctive patterns with regard to most popular model vs. club location, especially when certain builders or dealers/distributors are prominantly located nearby. I don't know if this stands out for me more than most because I travel for a living and have the opportunity to fly with various groups and clubs around the country and the world, but think about it. It makes sense doesn't it? Keith M Mililani, Hawaii RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[RCSE] Eclipse
Hi all-- I'm looking for data and impressions on the F3J Eclipse. Does anyone have any comments, good or bad? I normally fly club contests and the SC2 circuit. Would it be worth my time and money to pursue one of these things? Dan "It's hard to be a turkey when you soar with the eagles." RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] THUNDERBIRD info
I got my THUNDERBIRD in the air, and it flys great. Can anyone help with some basic info on this 164-inch span, full house killer TD bird? Looks to me like it's designed for cross country work, and I saw another example fly at the World Soaring Jamboree in 1994, but I don't know even who developed the design or who built this example. // Dave Garwood Albany, NY USA RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Heavy-Duty High Starts British hobby stores
Good evening gents, I was just wandering if anyone had any leads on a good, heavy-duty high-start. My club has a couple of really heafty winches, but when they're not out, my RnR Genesis and my friend's ICARE DG-600 stay firmly grounded, and my Multiplex Lucky is a little iffy on launch. I've been looking around at the usual suspects (Multiplex 4M start, which is huge, and the NES Zoom start), because my 11 year old Dynaflight open start just doesn't cut it anymore. On a semi-related note, I'm going to be in the UK in a few weeks, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any good hobby shops in the vacinity of Oxford? My wallet might not appreciate it, but I will ;) Cheers, Adam Till Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
