Re: [RCSE] Buddy box questions
Hi Keith, Usually you need two transmitters of the same brand and the compatible cord. Do you have another Airtronix, if it has a trainer function then either Tx can be the master and the other the slave, A couple of things to be aware of, The master transmitter is driving the plane, be sure you have this Rx in the plane Make sure the trim on the student Tx is exactly trimmed the same as the master, i.e., up is up and down is down. The slide switches have be matched carefully. I check the throws first then match the trim by switching trainer on and off until the elevator and rudder don't appreciably wiggle. Bowman Hobbies sells stripped Futaba as a buddy box for about $25, last time I looked.

If not, what do I have to do? Buy 2 new compatible Tx's or what? Any help is appreciated. Thanks guys... Kevin RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Re: Bagging with Wax paper
Another thing about wax paper is that different brands are, well...different. I've used wax paper to cover the plans of several built-up models I've built, and some wax papers just seems to be less stick resistant then others. It's not a big problem in this case, but if it were covering every square inch of the paper, and under pressure for hours (as in a wing being bagged), it could end up being a disaster. Remember, they make the stuff so food won't stick to it...not industrial grade epoxies. Make sure you get the good stuff. A couple times, I've tried mixing epoxy on wax paper (yeah, probably not a good idea). Often the epoxy would end up sorta milky colored, and would not cure properly. Possibly that's a different situation, but this would still make me want to avoid using it in direct contact with curing epoxy in a structural part of the airplane. Your milage may vary.

I do use it for building, it's great for many things. I keep it out of epoxy lay-ups for 2 reasons. #1- I have had it become part of the part. I use thin resins, heat, and vacuum. The resin will get into the wax paper and it is hell to remove. I only needed to do this 1 time. #2 -- wax is not something I want to have mixed in with a structural composite. I stick to micro balloons, cotton flocking, glass fiber, aramid fiber, carbon fiber, cat hair, and very rarely boron fiber. If you try to look up the structural properties of waxed paper you will probably have a hard time finding anything very encouraging. Pretty day -- go fly. Good luck to the Brookville crew this weekend - Rob Glover I build on wax paper with epoxy and CA a lot. I haven't have any problems yet. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Airplane theft
Rich, Sorry to hear that, I lost stuff at the parking lot too. Let me offer an idea and hope you can turn it into a solution that work best for you. Replace the siren function of your alarm system with your TX on a 10V regulator, carry your on-channel Rx in office. (note: assume Tx turn on replacing siren go off. Without TX signal, most rx will once in a while glitch and hold off center in random directions, bundling loop rx antenna wire can reduce its effective length that can reduce the glitching effect, but Tx antenna must extend. try an error for best result) YK Chan Seattle RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] AM Antenna length
AL Stock antenna for 72MHz system used to be 39 to 40 from the housing. It is better to run a new wire than making up the required length. YK Chan Seattle - Original Message - From: bagladyal: First bagladyal:Last [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi All What is the length for a AM antenna? I cut the thing and added speaker coil wire for my Mosquito HLG now the plane won't fly but 5 feet away from me! Thanks AL RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

How about an R/C truck tow, H/L contest-1 flight, all up last down. Say 150' of line? Tape on a small hook, talk a buddy into loaning you his old off road R/C truck and lets do battle. Arthur.

Re: [RCSE] foam tunnels
Hi Pat. I cut holes lengthwise all the time in blue foam. I get snug fitting holes using a hot wire setup. I do not know how many ar interested but I took pictures wondering if people want to see how it is done? The method is quite adaptable, as if can be used for channels, and any shape you can make of wire. Should I put it on my web site??

I am using a soldering gun with tips made of heavy (maybe 12 guage) copper wire, running along a straight edge. My problem is that I can't seem to get a consistent diameter tunnel which is loose enoough to prevent distorting the wing surfaces, and tight enough not to reguire a huge amount of glue/balloons. How much glue do you use anyway? What do you use to cut the tunnel. How exactly do you make the tip? How do you guide it? Thanks RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
