In my "youth" I painted quite a few restored cars and we generally mixed
some
dish soap in a bucket of hot water and added about 1/2 cup of bleach to
strip any automotive wax that may have been on the old paint.
I would also wipe it down with acetone or MEK immediately before painting.
I love the smell of volatile solvents in the morning.

PS. if the old paint has even a trace of "armor all" or any other
siloconized
additive, you MUST siloconize the new paint with a special silicone additive
or it will fish eye miserably.

This is coming to you from AOL version 5.0 (25 gig hard drives are pretty 
cool, you just leave all the old crap on there, just in case, I could back 
down to 4.0 if need be). Does it meet with your approval? I was totally 
unaware of my offense and beg your pardon. The bastards at AOL 6.0 have 
apparently chosen not to make plain text or HTML formatting of E-mail a 
configurable option, or at least I can't find the knob for it. I better 
filter the signal from AOL 6.0 before I run it through the suckiometer, lest 
I bend the needle.

No Way! HTML is ONE of the languages the internet. It is designed to be
used with web browsers. You know, those sites that start with "http".
Email, which this list is, is (wow, two ises in a row, sounds like Clinton)
plain ascii, basically the first 128 characters unless you are sending spam
from China. The internet also includes FTP which is not html, java which is
not html, some propriatory M$ stuff, PPP, SLIP,  Archie, WAIS, and a number

[RCSE] reverting AOL 6.0

2000-11-15 Thread Aerofoam

It looks like I was wrong about saving the address book when trying to
revert to AOL 5.0, I just received this from another list:

"I don't like to debate fellow listees but to save someone the loss of their
address book, let me be clear.  If you upgrade to AOL 6.0 and remove AOL 5.0
and then discover that you want to downgrade you have a BIG problem with the
address book.  Lew is absolutely correct about everything else which can be
moved back to 5.0 as he suggests.  However, AOL Tech Support apologized
profusely but confirmed that in the upgrade to 6.0 the address book is
copied
to the AOL server and thereafter is maintained on the AOL server from whence
it cannot be downloaded into 5.0.  If you have not removed AOL 5.0 you can
rebuild from the pre-6.0 address book on your computer but you need to
manually copy down all address book changes made in 6.0 and enter them into
your 5.0 address book.  If you removed 5.0 you are SOL which is not to be
confused with LOL.

Apologies about all the detail but hopefully we have saved at least one list
member the loss of their address book which is a real disaster.  "

[RCSE] HTML Solutition for AOL ...

2000-11-15 Thread Tail Heavy



Hey guys , no need to get upset about AOL's or anybody's 
poorly written software . Not when there are plenty of FREE browser based 
email services out there . I , obviously , use hotmail.com which is ok and works 
most of the time . There are many others like excite.com , juno.com , etc... 
Just search for free email and you'll get a bunch of links . 
 
Anyway - this is only one of several email accounts I 
have and I use it for the list exclusively . This way the list activity doesn't 
affect/mix with my normal correspondence (that would help out the wife 
frustration problem too). And of course there is no problem with sending 
text-only emails . 
 
I'm only using hotmail because it can be accessed through the 
latest version of Outlook Express , which also reads my other normal (pop3) 
accounts . So it's a single piece of software to access most of my accounts . 
But normally Web-based email is accessed through any web browser - even AOL 

 
Check it out , it has made my life a little simpler .. One 
account for the list , another for ebay , another for friends and family 
..
 
Hope that helped someone 
Later

I have yet to see an international list that allows html.
Many (most) other countries have internets services that charge by the
minute or byte and a list like this could literally cost $5 to $10 per day
to download.
I am on a sailing list and many of the sailors are checking their mail
through pay phones from remote areas, so download time is critical.
The AOL thing has really shaken up most of the boating community in the
Carribean because AOL has the most services in that area and quite a few
people unknowingly upgraded to the larger (clunky) 6.0 and now have to
revert back. The general consensus amongst the AOL users on that list is
that 6.0 is no improvement and in fact uses more resources and runs slower.

Not an AOL user, don't really care, just passing along what I have been
told

RE: [RCSE] Zoom Launches - Was: RE: 3-Position Switch

2000-11-15 Thread Paul Ferguson

Bill

Thought that one might gain a query or two. It is something that I love
watching, but do not have the guts to try myself!

Basically

You launch to about 45 degrees in a reasonable wind and build up tension,
then you turn (with rudder) and dive at the ground building up more tension
before turning again (with rudder) to tuck the model under and climb again.
The action is like a stunt kite doing a loop.

The process can be repeated over and over, building up tension without
winding the line in on the winch at all.

I expect this is as clear as mud. Any other "experts" like to try?

[RCSE] Zoom Launches - Was: RE: 3-Position Switch

2000-11-15 Thread Paul Ferguson

Adam

I think that you have (almost) hit the nail on the head. The zoom DOES come
from dive speed, but it is the angle of the dive that most flyers get wrong.

I learnt a lot watching Nic Wright when he toured Australia a few years ago.
He would build up enormous tension on the line (either by a conventional
launch or by circle tow) and then would perform a brief shallow dive (1.5
seconds@20 degrees?) to convert the tension to speed and then ping.

There are too many flyers in Australia who love to try and wrap the
parachute around their tailplanes in ridiculously steep pre-ping dives. It
is just not necessary.

Oh, I fully realize what you were talking about - I was disagreeing with the

statement that you need to dive excessively. What's the point in bleeding

mild dive to perform this, but you don't need a steep one. The added effect 
from the zoom is gained mainly from tensioning the line...not from dive 
speed. That's why the wings need to be that strong on zoomable airplanes, 
the winch is almost pulling directly downwards with up to 200lb of line 
tension.

I was referring to contest style zooom launches, like F3J.
Dive entry is not mild at all. Tension and speed are built up during
the first few seconds of launch, then glider is nosed down fairly
steeply to convert tension into more speed, 80mph or more, then the
glider is nosed up to almost vertical, gaining almost another
200 feet in altitude. The purpose of this is to get maximum altitude

RE: [RCSE] Which computer radio?

2000-11-15 Thread Jones, Philip

There was an upgrade available for the FF7 in the UK (and, I assume the US)
to add 4 additional memories. In order to access the new memories you had to
flick a switch (top left?). No...you could not use it to switch memory
functions in flight (tried that!).

The key difference to look for is the words 'computerised glider system' and
the 'G' in the designation - something like TP-FPUAG.

[RCSE] more garbage about garbage

2000-11-15 Thread d. o. darnell

People just don't seem to have a clue.
Why cant they set their mail programs to output "text only"?  Maybe they
don't read their own mail.

Congratulations to all of you AOL version 6 users.  Their new browser has,
according to Gordy,  "a bit of a problem"  causing the mail to be sent out
formatted in HTML which is intended only to be displayed on web pages and
thus generating the garbage within the forum which we all love.

These are todays offenders.

How bout it folks?

PLEASE change your email programs output option to "plain text" or "text
only"

The loss in capacity was recoverable by cycling again
at lower current. I had this problem with cells I bought
about 1 1/2 years ago, maybe they've changed.

What happened was that I was charging at 330mah, and
over time, it was only taking one hour to charge them
at this rate. Took the pack to the store and they confirmed
capacity was 330 to 360mah by cycling them a few times.

I then discharged at C/5 and charged at C/10 and after
a few cycles they recovered back to near full capacity.

This was strange, as the peak voltage was the same during
this entire process, only the capacity was affected.
