Re: [RCSE] Finger Prints on wings.

I ''fogged" a coat of primer on to see what work might be needed, several depressions that look like finger prints had showed up. Stan, I've had luck using a heat gun to raise the depressions on HL and 2m wings. Simply apply heat to the area sparingly and see if it raises the depression. May save a bunch of filling and sanding.

[RCSE] Virus alert!
Sorry for the broad alert. but today with the responses from my questions to RCSE I received what norton thinks is a virus. It reports it as "WScript.KakWorm". Norton keeps trying to quarantine my inbox file and I can not tell which email contained the virus. I use Netscape for mail and as far as I know there are not many worm type virus that effect Netscape mail. Thanks for all that responded to my questions I fear that I will have to delete the mail I received today to stop this virus alert from quarantining my inbox.I read most of the mail using yahoo mail from my work isp, so I had a chance to see most the mail. If you answered one of my questions please take action and check that you are not infected. Please note that I was not the originator of the virus, I am just reporting it as a potential problem for other list members. Regards Pat. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Norton keeps trying to quarantine my inbox file and I can not tell which email contained the virus. hmmm, that'll be Lee Estingoy's post about kevlar. Coincidently, the same one that Tord complained about getting lots of HTML garbage in ("lots of info about your regedit.exe, autoexe.bat and other Windows nonsense")... look at http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/wscript.kakworm.html if you're interested.

Re: [RCSE] Frank Weston Designs on eBay
Karlton And why cant Mr Weston require the buyer to agree to his terms and conditions? If the buyer doesnt agree to them, the buyer can walk away. If the buyer agrees, he must comply. The problem that Mr Weston will have is that it will cost money to enforce this contract, and he may find that it is not worth the time and money to enforce it.

Re: [RCSE] Advantage HLG
I recently bought the Advantage HLG kit presently being offered by Rick Brown and Bill Haymaker. I feel a short review would be of interest to all. It is offered in a number of different variations: Dihedral/Ail version, Poly version (Precut and beveled panels), 6063 or 7012 airfoils, two fuses for fingerpeg, and a version with a finger step, and can have a lighter .75 oz glass or heavier 1.5 oz glass layup for wings ( mine is poly 1.5 oz and is 4 oz finished) After ordering, I received the kit the next business day! I don't have too much time for building and am not too experienced and sort of slow, but this went together easy and fast for me. My final weight is 9 oz using the heavier poly wing, 555 rx, 150mah battery, and HS50's. Have just done a few tosses lately for trimming, and was amazed.compared to a Terminator whos fuse I built scratch, this flew feather light, penetrated well into stiff breezes, and with the lightest of tosses I tooled around the field several times at low levelit didn't seem to want to come down. If I took the case off the 555, and used a 110 battery, I would probably be closer to 8 oz.Using the lighter wing layup would maybe save another 1/2 oz. If this sounds interesting, contact Rick Brown: [EMAIL PROTECTED] , or Bill Haymaker: [EMAIL PROTECTED] for details. I believe the price can't be beat!

[RCSE] Vacationing in NW PA
The last week of July each year, my wife and I throw our horses in our horse trailer and travel to Marionville, PA (about a half-hour south of Kane) for a week of riding, camping, partying, etc. While that is great fun, a week of vacation without flying tends to leave me suffering with Grumpy Pilot Syndrome. If anyone knows of any places to fly or people to fly with, please contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] (That's A-one-com, not the letter "L".) I fly thermal, slope, and electric and would enjoy flying with people with similar interests.

[RCSE] 3 cell pack for HL
All, Just put together a 3 cell 110mil pack for a HL. My question is what can I expect to see as a peak voltage reading on this pack when fully charged. I put the first charge on the new pack and have a reading of 4.25 volts right off the charge. Anybody using this size pack. Any info or advise along the lines of charging and maintaining this style pack would be appreciated. Thanks, RB RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
