[RCSE] NSP Make a Deal Days
Even though we had a great day yesterday, it seems that we (read that as I) screwed up and did not put the proper information on the website. Details on the Make a Deal Day can be found on the "Daily Specials" Page. You can reach that from the frontpage of our website. Since I just fixed the problem, the Make Deal Days are extended through Monday. -- Sal DeFrancesco Northeast Sailplane Products 140 Kirby Lane Williston, VT. 05495 802-658-9482 Website: http://www.nesail.com RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Fwd: [RCSE] Re: Opinions (response to last weeks post)
Joe, I prefer to let this post die a Happy death. My opinions are my own. For your information what started that post was Sal's maligning the Europeans. The fact of the matter is that he stated that you now had the ultimate F3J Toy, and Daryl had the ultimate TD Toy and also the next F3B winner. Just for the record you must know about that post from Sal after all you found mine. But with out that reference you can stick to attacking me ,right.So Joe how can Sal make those statements, they are not fact. Your model has never been in an F3J meet, and Daryl's Super Fletcher hasn't even got the molds polished out yet. That was blatant self promotion for SAl and his boys and is not factual. Don't you ever get self righteous and condemn me for being part of the old F3B wars. It was your club not mine that started the barrage of Techno advantage wars in that game. As far as a friendlier group involved now, is that what you call that little bit of Rules twisting you, and your Win at any costs team mates pulled at the last team trials. You guys cheated and your little philosophical comment about fighting it out in the air made me laugh out loud. Your buddy Daryl even got so blatant as to say that if Randy had been the CD he wouldn't have got away with it. Got away with what? I thought what you guys did was legal, right. No, Joe, it is you with the problem not me. The fact is that you and Daryl treat people poorly, it is true that Daryl is far more of a user than you are. I know that I am on your list and that when the chips go don't fall in my favor that you will secretly chuckle at my score. The simple fact is that after years of experience with you and Daryl I prefer not to be a friend. Personally I find you people contrary to the way I want, to live my life. I wish you the best, but do not support you in any of your endeavors. If there is a competition that I can use my limited abilities to compete against you, I will. Since all you live for is the challenge of the hunt it means so much more when I read Jolly in front of Wurts. I am not taking any abuse from you, if you want to go public, bring it on. Larry

RE: [RCSE] Re: Opinions (response to last weeks post)
As a newcomer to this sport (15 months) it is with dismay that I noticed the posts of Larry Jolly, aired by his choice in a public forum. I understand that he is a very talented pilot. Our sport has many talented pilots like most sports have their athletes. What we need from my little observation are more quiet ambassadors for our sport, people who give time, energy and instruction back into the sport while also representing our country in a way that will make all of us proud. From this distance Joe appears to be all that and so much more. In fairness to Larry, whom I have never met, I don't know much except the postings speak volumes. I will keep an open mind tho and hope this venting of some grudge clears the air. Now why don't u both agree to settle the issue of competition and beating each other on the undisputed king of difficult and ability testing courses? A man on man DS race at Parker, 5 rounds, no throwouts? Loser eats true crow? Spectator fees to watch this matchup will be donated to agreed on team causes. Further words on the exchange are hardly the way to go.

Re: [RCSE] Re: gluing foam cores
Regis, Go out and find some DAP One Step Spackle. It is every bit as light as the Hobbico stuff and will get twice as much spackle for about half the cost of the Hobbico. Youknow you have the right stuff in your hand when you pick up the container cause it will feel like nothing is in it. No model shop should be with out the stuff. It also makes a really nice pin hole filler for glass fuselages. Mix with water to the consistency of thick paint and just smear on with a damp paper towel. Let dry and sand and you are ready for final prep to paint. Hope this helps. See Ya, Pat McCleave Wichita, KS RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Club newsletters vs computers....
regarding newsletter format for computers, i would suggest using html, since the browser will format the content to fit the browser screen which is set by the user, and printing usually isn't all that bad either. another reason to use html versus pdf, is that html can produces significantly smaller files. i redid the rcsd web-pages describing dale king's buteo: http://ciurpita.tripod.com/buteo.pdf the pdf version is ~230k, while the html version i created is composed of one html file (4k) and two jpeg images (25k each) a total of 54k: http://ciurpita.tripod.com/buteo.html bear in mind that this may not make much difference for a single page article such as this, but consider a much larger newsletter, the storage space, and the download time. microsoft word documents are notoriously large. another suggestion is to post the newsletters on a club web-site, and only send out email to the members indicating that its available. having all the old newsletters available is convenient, and gives perspective members a chance to see what the club is like. http://cjrcc.tripod.com/newsletter.html Gregory Ciurpita Lucent Technologies - Bell Laboratories Room 4E-434, Crawfords Corner Road, Holmdel NJ 07733-3030 732-949-5771, fax 732-949-0272, [EMAIL PROTECTED] RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

It is a wall filler compound like drywall mud, but the light weight stuff is "silicon borate" it comes in a small tub and is water soluble. You can see it being used to fill voids and mount servos on my Pico Jet Modification page at: http://www.aerofoam.com/PicoJet.htm I am compiling a list of products and their corresponding international counterparts. If anyone knows of some brand names available in countries other than the US. Please let me know: What they are? What they cost? Where to get them? AND send a picture of the product. I will be posting a page with products and application. I need the international info for: Liquid contact cement (the type for laminating formica and veneers. Spray contact cement 3m#77, or 90. Any 2" packing tape with good UV properties. Any good 2" strapping tape that is fairly light. Any colored packing tapes. Sign Vinyl. Light weight spackling compound. Fast epoxies. Fast CA.

Re: [RCSE] Lithium Ion
I was seaching the net for lithium batts last night and found that the lithium polymers are in production and available for Nokia cell phones. Not cheap, $89 for 3.7v cell that is about 600mah and weighs less than 10 grams. There are a number of free plans for chargers that would only cost $10 to $15 to build, but I remember seeing a site somewhere with a kit for about that much. The Magellan site (magtech.com I think) has a $45 Li charger that is reconfigurable. I can't find the $7.50 800mah tadirans anymore, they were on the site with the cheap charger kit which I have lost the URL for. Anyway, I have some feelers out to MFG's for Li poly's and may be able to do a group purchase if there is any interest.

Re: [RCSE] Club newsletters vs computers....
Actually the reason the pdf is bigger in this case is that there are 4 fonts included in the file. The pdf accurately renders the fonts and layout and is MUCH nice to read and look at. The html (at least on my system) does not have the same fonts and is not nearly so clean. html is at the mercy of the display system as to how it looks. With pdf the author controls the look. If you don't care about the look then there is nothing wrong with html. Most publishers I know care a lot about the look of the finished document. -- michael N6CHV AMA 77292 a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Click here and send a blank e-mail to receive The Affiliate Masters course...
