Re: [RCSE] New digital servos from JR,,,, anybody seen them?
It´s the same as the graupner DS368. I´ve got 2 of these, works good. Very strong and accurate. But they are almost new and no "real life" experience are avaiable yet.

Re: [RCSE] Multi Plex Cockpit Manual
Rich, the complete helpfile is on the CD. And is installed in you Taskbar, ready to read at a mouse click. As for Money, RF is a lot more with less features and does not come with a paper manual, it's on disk. RF G2 is a hell of a lot more money and only comes with an install guide, manual is still on disk. CP Master represents the best value for the money in RC Flight Sims right now.

[RCSE] Looking For Multiplex Servos

Re: Re: [RCSE] Altimeters
I'm tempted to buy a Telario some day, but is the 433 MHz-Band USA-legal? I seem to recall that it might not be. The only other r/c vario that I know of currently is the Multiplex Helios, which operates on the CB band (27 mhz). I'd like to borrow an old ACE Thermal Sniffler and reverse-engineer one for personal use. --Bill On Thu, 04 Jan 2001 13:11:46 -0600 "James V.

RE: [RCSE] R/C Power Duck
I ordered this antenna a year ago for my Stylus. I have not run into any problems with range, etc. I like the idea that it doesn't require any special adapters to work on the transmitter. I also find it easier to deal with than with the telescoping antenna. BTW, I am using the antenna on a Stylus transmitter that is set up for 50 MHz (50.3 MHz). It will work for both 72 MHz and ham freqs transmitters.

Re: [RCSE] R/C Power Duck
Dave, my guess is that the reply came from someone whose motto is: Opinion before knowledge. I have been using a Smiley antenna and range is no issue. If you take a look at how many experienced pilots are using coil wound antennas with great results you'd know the "advise" you got was bogus.

I think this is what the sniffler used, and the flask was only plastic. [Been ages since I looked at a sniffler.] Sorry for the double post, but I remember more now. The bridge is located outside the flask. One side of the bridge is next to an air vent that lets outside air flow in/out of the vario. The other side of the bridge is next to an air vent that lets air flow in/out of the pressure flask. Air flowing into the vario and into the flask cools the sensor next to the outside air vent more. The resistance changes more on the outside air vent side, unbalancing the bridge. This indicates you are descending. Air flowing out of the flask and out of the vario cools the sensor next to the flask air vent more. The resistance changes more on the flask air vent side, unbalancing the bridge in the opposite direction. This indicates you are ascending. Use a solid-state differential pressure transducer to measure the flow in and out of the flask. Very little power required (no heating). This is the simplest to design a vario around. Use a solid-state absolute pressure transducer to measure the rate of change of pressure. Doesn't require a flask, but needs additional smarts to output the rate of change. Measuring absolute pressure gives you slow response. A differential method is better. -- Andrew E. Mileski RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Altimeters
Hi I have been repairing the Ace Sniffler for sometime now. The Tx case is sealed air tight is used as an air chamber. There is one screw with a pin-hole drill through its lenght in the side of the Tx case. This is an orifice that meters the air flow in out of the Tx case. In the Tx case their is a short piece of tubing that goes over the end of the screw on the side of the case the other end goes over a smaller case (air flow meter) that has two bead thermisistors (about .015" OD each bead). The two thermisitors sit side by side in line with a hole (about .062" ID) through their case. The air flows through this air flow meter, in out of the bigger Tx case. The thermisistors (1K to2K) are in a bridge circuit. When the Tx goes up higher in the air, air flows out of the Tx case cools just the one thermisistor in line with the air flow through the air flow meter . The air flow over the first therm blocks the the flow over the second therm., so it is not cooled as much. Then when the Tx case comes down lower, the air flows into the Tx case cooling the other therm. So you get a a tone change, higher when air flows out of the Tx case lower when air flows into the Tx case. The Picolario Talk is on 433 Mhz is in the Ham Bands this freq falls in the use fro Auxiliary/repeater link control. So you would have to be a Ham, then is some parts of the USA you could interfere with these link/control freq. Howard Rudy KA7YWO SLC, Ut. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
