[RCSE] R/C Flight Simulators
We've had the first snowfall, and the soaring season is at an end for another year. My numb thumbs did not improve much this season. Are any of the simulators good enough that sim time translates to improvement in real world flying? If so, which one is recommended as the superior glider simulator, with emphasis on thermal flight?

[RCSE] dynamix F3b for sale
I picked up a Dynamix this summer for a backup and find that I am not flying it much. It is the "f3b" version which basiclly means that it has the molded tip panels. The fuse and center section are the same as the F3j version. It is a VERY nice flier, and to be honest, if I had fewer planes I would fly it a bunch. I just have too many planes right now and with my other projects it is gaining dust. IT has one repaired ding in the center section leading edge. Caught a stake on landing. No spar damage, and the repair is complete. I can do full pedal launches with no problems (especially now that I have real servos in it!). HS-81s on the V tail. MPX Micro 3BBs on the ailerons. Multiplex Profi MC/V2 on the flap (single servo). No rx or battery. Wing "bags" from foam...work nice. $600 + 1/2 shipping.

[RCSE] Futaba 8UAF low battery warning
My 8UAF has begun giving false low battery status. Fully charged packs give a low voltage reading, resulting in the low battery alarm going off soon after turning the TX on.

Re: [RCSE] DS'ing -- Achievement program
A small elite group of true combat pilots had a similar name back in the late 80's, taken from the place we used to fly that looked over the bay inside of Newport Beach: "Bad Boys of Back Bay" We flew an unusual little 50" composite model called the "Air-Tic" (once it gets on you it can't be shaken off)! It was designed and mostly built by Ed Resetar, who works for Porsche now (he was part of the group that put out the new Carrera GT that was just unveiled in Europe a few months ago). He would only build them for those he felt were capable of and willing to fly them as aggressively as they could be flown, which was very aggressively! The Air-Tic could also take quite a bit of punishment, more so than any other design we flew against back then. We used to fly as a 4 or 5 man team and combat against other groups of guys flying various designs. We never lost a combat as a team! And we flew "real" combat, where all hits had to be made from a rear quarter, no "T-bones" or head-ons". It took a considerable amount of skill to consistently be able to score hits, and forced everyone to really learn energy management and aerial combat tactics similar to those employed by real fighter pilots (lag and lead rolls, yo-yo's, scissor maneuvers, etc.). I've watched so many of today's combat events and don't see any of that, just big furballs where everyone seems to be more into enjoying the amount of damage wreaked from out of control impacts than the deep satisfaction of a kill prosecuted with skill, cunning, and very good aerobatic flying. And believe it or not, it actually draws quite a crowd when two or more teams are flying in a defined area with judges and timers, etc. Very similar rush to Man on Man slope racing!
