Re: [RCSE] Extraordinary Customer Service

2001-01-26 Thread Kristopher Harig

A year or so I ago I ordered something fron Karlton.  I promptly recieved
it, but it turn out to be the wrong thing.  At the time he was in the middle
of shipping managers, so this was understandable.  He sent my item to me
second day air (this prob cost $30 or so).  He also appologised for the
mistake.  The cost of shiping me the item probably cost more than any profit
he would have made on it.  I also know that he has donated a lot to many
events.  He is truely one of those people that makes this hobby possible and
great.  He is how several vendors need to learn to be.

Now if he would only appoint me to Team Multiplex.

RCSE is not associated in any ways with Yahoo.  It is supported by
Airage Publications (Model Airplane News) and it is an email based
service.  Several sites out there archive mail lists and several archive
RCSE.  There may also be some groups created out there with the name
RCSE at some other places that are not in any way related.

We had an incident where lots of .net addresses got bounced around new
years.  A note was sent out to most of those subscribers to
resubscribe.  As Jon noted, there are plenty of folks who read it via
places like egroups.  I know since I usually have several messages every
day that I have to approve because they are from those pilots who get
RCSE that way.

[RCSE] Hollyday Hi-starts

2001-01-26 Thread Dave Seay

I see that Hollyday has released their new line of complete hi-starts but
was rather surprised at the prices.

I realize that the going opinion of their rubber is that it's the best
but...  You can get a Pinnacle L model for $85 while the matching Hollyday
3M hi-start is $120.  The Pinnacle is reputed to be a solid performer so is
it really worth 30% more to by the Hollyday, especially if you are going to
make limited use of the hi-start?

Inquisitive minds want to know!

If you are going to make "limited use" of a hi-start, why buy a 
premium, pre-assembled hi-start at all?  Just buy the rubber from 
Rich and assemble the rest of the components on your own.

2001-01-26 Thread Kristopher Harig

Honestly, if the rest of the highstart is as good as the rubber it will be
worth the price.  Consider what a winch costs.  Their higstarts are as close
to a winch as any highstart will ever be.  You probably can assemble a
highstart from their rubber cheaper than you can buy one.  Of course, it
will take time and effort.

[RCSE] AMD Scorpio?

2001-01-26 Thread Michael Cole

Hey guys.  Has anyone seen or flown the Scorpio Kit from AMD in Hong Kong?  
There's an advertisment for it in all the SE modeler mags.  They list it 
for a hundred dollars.  There is a US dealer but I'm having trouble getting 
their contact info.  Any comments are welcome and any info on how to get one 
would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

[RCSE] SE Modeler publishing schedule

2001-01-26 Thread Kristopher Harig

Is it me or is it hard to guess when the next Sailplane and Electric Modeler
will come out?  I never know its out until someone on RCSE mentions errors
in it.  The website is updated weeks after the latest issue hits the
newstands.  Anybody know the secret issue release algorithm?

Re: [RCSE] Hollyday Hi-starts

2001-01-26 Thread B R

How in the heck can it be "as close to a winch"? A
parson who is using a high start can only achieve the
energy of the Pinnacle, Hollyday Hi-start, or fill in
the name to the amount of pull they can sustain prior
to release, and with a winch you can continue the
force all the way up the line.
How is the Hollyday Hi Start better then anything
else? Dose it have some mysterious acceleration
properties in the rubber? 
In my opinion the Pinnacle is over priced for what it
is, but I own one and I stretch it to the limit of my
strength the same way you would stretch a Hollyday
Hi-start. Is it worth it? Has anyone done a side by
side test?

Love to hear any comments

Imagine the energy a fully ordained priest or even a cardinal could achieve!
The Pope could probably get his glider in orbit.
