[RCSE] Need help finding small dia. titanium rod
Does anyone know a source for titanium rod/wire in approximately 3/32 inch diameter equals about .093 inches equals about 2.3 to 2.4 mm, or somewhat smaller even? Intended use is a bent two-piece wing connector for a HLG wing that has a dihedral angle too great for a straight carbon fiber rod-in-tube or tube-in-tube. Since titanium is as strong as steel but lighter than aluminum, it seems like good stuff for this application. The smallest Small Parts has is 1/4 inch. Another desireable solution would be a carbon fiber rod that size with the correct bend, but is finding that impossible? Suggestions welcomed.

[RCSE] 555 & Stylus programming ?
Hi, I have a HLG with ailerons and v-tail. Is it possible to get spoilerons or camber adjustments from my (basic) Stylus without using a Y-connector? Appreciate any help, thanks.

Re: [RCSE] re: buy an addiction
Hey Glen, You mean there realy is a Walla Walla Washington, I thought that only existed on Bugs Bunny. Just Kidding! Anyway to your question. The Best way to learn is the way most people have. Find someone in your club who is familiar with the process and offer to help to learn the process. Actualy, you will probably be a hinderance at first, but with practice the person will appreciate the help. The bagging process itself is fairly easy, the hard part is making the templates, preparing the cores and cutting all the materials prior to bagging. You will be amazed and humbled at all that it takes just to get ready to bag. And after all of this, there is not any gaurantee the wing will be any good. Those prices that Fred Sage and others charge for a set of wings and stabs will now seem like a bargain and they are, but anyone can buy a set of wings. It's one thing to make your own. Also when you make your own you can experiment and incorporate what you want in a wing such as what I mentioned in my prior posting(longer spar and I forgot to mention I like Kevlar hinges). If you don't have anyone to learn from. I would suggest purchasing a feathercut machine or making your own, there are a lot of home made wing cutters with plans on the net. You will also need an airfoil program, I use compufoil. And the most important of all a large work surface that is PERFECTLY flat. I currently use two Solid core doors, but I have recently purchased some 5/8" x 4' x 10' Aluminum & composite Honeycomb sheets that are flat and will not warp. This stuff is comonly used as aircraft flooring in jumbo jets. I hope to rebuild my workbench over winter. Once you have these things, you can search the net for help and then buy your materials. I would suggest your first wings be for some sort of slope airplane, because they are smaller and most likely will end up on the heavy side. Scrollsander.com has some good information. Anyway, good luck, and if you need any help send me an e-mail and I will try to help.

[RCSE] re: buy an addiction
Hey Oleg, Contrary to popular belief, the addiction is not a new design, It has slowly but surely rose to the top of the contest placing as more people are flying them now. This is due to the fact that Fred Sage has picked up production and it is more available now. The addiction actually started out as a design by one of our club members here in Santa Clarita about 4 years ago. My dad carved the fuselage plug and a guy named John Johnson designed the wings and the light layup. After John got out of the hobby, fred sage stepped in to keep up with the demand. John gave me all of his tooling fixtures except the fuselage mold so since then, I have bagged my own and have not purchased one from Fred. I still buy the fuselage from him though. In my current layup, I used what I had on hand. I used Blue foam cores, I would of liked to use spyder foam but I did not have any on hand. My spar is a carbon tube that is used as the wing joiner tube. I use a full length of it 30" in each wing half. This allows me to omit a sub rib because the spar is so long. Fred uses the same spar but only 10" long and no sub rib. A few of our club members have folded his wings right were the carbon tube ends. I am in no way saying freds wings are bad, I think they are of exceptional quality. I just feel the added length to the spar distributes the loading more evenly over a longer span. I have yet to fold one. Although, I have the added weight of the longer spar. It is a trade off worth making I think. As far as the layup, I used what I had. 1 layer of 3/4 oz. 1 layer of 1.25 oz, 1 layer of 1.25oz? S glass at the tips only to strengthen the tips (see below). I am not sure what weight my carbon is but i have a whole roll of it so I am trying to finish it off. It is uni-directional from Hexcell. I don't care for it too much it tends to split at the tips where there is little foam core. That is why I have to use the S glass. I use one layer of the carbon and then two squares where the servos need to be cut out. All the layers are top and bottom. I paint the top mylar only, white with some color at the tips. The bottom remains the carbon black. This layup is a little heavier than freds due to me using what materials I currently have, but it is overkill in the strength department. when I run out of the Uni, I plan to purchase some of the carbon from aircraft spruce and modify my layup to produce a lighter wing. as far as freds layup, I have inspected some damaged wings from a club member who cant stay away from chain link fences, and it looks to me like he uses one layer of light glass top and bottom and one layer of the aircraft spruce carbon top and bottom. I may be wrong. I plan to use this same layup but still run my spar the full 30". Also my dad and I are planning to carve a new fuselage plug with a few modifications so we can make a mold and make everything ourselves. I still have all of the original drawings in CAD and all I need to do is make the changes and print out a full size fuselage profile and carve it out. It will be a good winter project.

[RCSE] Zagi questions
I just got a Zagi 400, and I have some questions for anyone who cares to answer them. 1. I have seen in the past a canard plane with ailerons that butted right up against the winglets, as the Zagi's do. It had a severe adverse yaw problem. When the aileron deflected down, it had the effect of "blowing" the inside of the winglet. Does the Zagi have an adverse yaw problem at all? If not, why not? 2. I love hard candy. But why is there Coffee Crave (with a Zagi impranteur) in my Zagi 400 kit? Daniel O. Miller BRAIN: Pinky! Are you pondering what I'm pondering? PINKY: I think so, Brain, but who wants to see Snow White and the 7 Samurai? RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[RCSE] Radio???
Yes the radio is a sailplane radio BUT you have to use a Y harness for the flaps :( on the Cockpit MM. So then you can't adjust each flap independently? I guess mechanically you could RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

On the cockp[it radio is it a full function sailplane radio? What would need be done to make it a Mode 1 radio. I heard that the switches can be changed by moving plug on circuiit board.
