Re: [RCSE] Bullet First Flight (long)
RCSE'rs, Many thanks to the folks who replied privately to my post yesterday (ARROWSTEEL, R Kinser, Scobie). I've learned quite a bit from your responses. Mainly: 1) You _CAN_ have aileron differential with only 1 servo 2) I was reasoning backwards WRT my decalage angle 3) I shouldn't need to add a third servo to clean my ship up Scobie's reply seemed to sum up others', and to add a lot of great detail. Read his post below and learn something ... I know I did! :) Cheers, Brad -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Scobie's Reply Below -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= From: "Scobie Puchtler or Sarah Felstiner" [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Block address To: "Brad Willoughby" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [RCSE] Bullet First Flight (long) Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2001 23:18:42 -0800 2) There is only one aileron servo, so I can't add aileron differential. You CAN add differential with only one aileron servo by making a simple change to the mechanical link! It won't be programmable on your radio, but as long as you can stand that, it's a great system, and you can try differing the setup to find whatever you consider to be your 'sweet' differential. It's done a few different ways depending on exactly how your one servo is set up, so I won't try to describe it in exact detail, but it is easy. Here's a chain of logic to the basic concept, in case you don't already know what I'm getting at. When you want any control surface to move equally in both directions, you carfully make sure that the link to the servo is dead center on the wheel, or in the case of the arm, you make sure that the arm is exactly perpendicular to the servo at it's neutral point. IF the servo arm starts way off to one side in the neutral position, then the surface will only move a little bit one direction, but a LOT the other direction. Bummer, unless that's what you actually WANT, as in the case of aileron differential! Most single servo aileron setups are done with torque rods or pushrods from the ailerons linked to either side of a single servo wheel. If you move both links back or forward on the wheel so that they start out not at a perpendicular neutral point but in an offset neutral point, you'll begin to get differential. (depending on your setup, either back from the perpendicular point or forward of it will be correct) Adding mechanical differential in this way will involve changing the length of the connections or the position of the servo so that your base trim for flight is still correct, but really no big deal. You may still prefer to add an extra servo, of course. Then you have all kinds of flexibility right in your radio programming. You can try flaperon, camber, spoileron AND differential, but I thought you might appreciate knowing this simple mechanical option also exists and works great for lot's of folks. I think it'll be easier to add differential since the plane has no rudder and I'd have to build one. Thoughts? By all means try the mechanical or 'one servo' differential first. It will do wonders for your yaw issues, keep your plane simple, etc. Aileron/elevator should be a really great system for a sloper if the design and diff. are right. Decalage (Dive Test Results): - The plane pulled out the dive test right away, basically just performing a small scoop. This suggests that I've got a large decalage angle since my CG is at the back-end of the recommended location (6-7cm, mine's at 7). Agreed. looks like I was a bit overzealous when I taped the top of the fuse to the bottom, and I really pulled the back of the stab down. Now you're losing me. If you truly pulled the BACK of the stab DOWN 'too much' then you have a SMALLER than designed decalage, and your plane should be nosing over in the dive test, not scooping out. If you want to correct for the scoop in the dive test, you'll need to pull the back of the stab DOWN MORE, not the other way around. this created the large decalage angle and that if I loosen this tape, and apply strong tape in the front of the stab, this should lower the decalage. NO. What you're describing will INCREASE the decalage. You have the right diagnosis, but your solution is reversed, as I mention above. Think of the stab as a 'full flying' elevator. If the plane scoops in a dive, you have too much up elevator in your 'full flying stab', right? UP elevator in a full flying stab means the trailing edge (back) of the elevator is UP. You want the trailing edge of it more DOWN, so that you have a more neutral 'full flying stab' in a dive situation, and the dive will be nice and neutral with no tendency to pull out, and no tendency to nose under. What's the easiest way to view the decalage angle? by amplifying it. Tape a light, straight balsa stick across the top of the stab extending forwards almost to the trailing edge of the wing. Put a mark on the fuse where the stick is. then make a change in the stab mount angle. (Based on

Re: [RCSE] Launch Presets on A Cockpit Update
Hi Cockpit MM Pilots, Here's what I've done to launch a wing-launch plane with a launch preset... This will only work for a rudder/elevator plane, flaperons are whole-other ball of servo-wires... Plug the rudder in to the aileron on the RX (Channel 1), elevator into elevator (channel 2). Plug the three way switch into the flaps channel on the TX (for me a lefty I have the three way switch on the right side, for you other folks you'll probably have to move the 3-way switch to the left side). Turn on the flaperon mix on the mix menu. Your rudder is now a flaperon! so when you hit the flaps switch the rudder will deflect the specified amount. One direction on the flap switch will be the correct direction (i.e. my rudder goes to the left when I throw left handed). The other will be for when you opposite handed partner/buddy wants to try throwing your plane! Finally, turn on the flap compensation mix, this is where you get your elevator (up or down depending on your plane's set-up)! I would love to put a copy of this set-up on my website, but my back-ordered Cockpit/PC interface cable hasn't arrived yet... Thermals, RED RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Discus launching preset
Hello, I've been using a different approach to program in a launch preset using my JR 8103 for Discus launching. I use the 'throttle' stick and have the rudder deflect near 75% of the throw when the stick is in the top position. Pulling the stick back will 'proportionally' decrease the rudder deflection until it is neutral at the bottom. My left thumb is on the stick during launch, and I can just pull it back once the plane straightens out because my thumb is ever present on the transmitter during launch. This allows you to change the amount of 'preset' really quickly for a launch. When it's windy and you want more deflection for a launch, the throttle is at full for the launch. In light conditions, you can start out with the throttle at 75% or 50% all without having to reprogram. Makes it easy to 'fine tune' in your Discus launch technique for even higher launches!

Why not use the "Power compensation" (p. 33 of the English manual) ? You can then control the elevator up with your left thumb on the throttle stick.

Re: [RCSE] Towhook
Erik, You already have one of the best adjustable tow hooks you can buy but with your current installation you are not realize its potential. Now here is how to do it so it will be adjustable. First off you will need to pop out the current block and make sure that it is sanded to the contour of the fuse bottom. Now take your dremel tool and route a slot the width of your hook and say about 3/4" long where your current hole is in the fuse. I normally make this hole starting at the center of the recommended CG range. This way you have the ability of using the full range of adjustment. I have used this method on both my 2M and UNL planes for several years with great success. Once you have optimized your position you can always glue it back in at that time if you so desire. I normally leave mine un-glued and have never had one pull out or move on me. The credit for this idea needs to be given to Ed Slegers since he was the first one to tell me about this way of doing it. Hope this helps.

[RCSE] tranport again
Just before I went on a trip I asked on this exchange how best to transport a Boomerang on the airlines. I got several good suggestions. Thanks to all that responded. However, things did not go as planned. I got charged $75 by Delta on departure for having an oversize box. Some suggestions I got were to wrap it in bubble wrap and take it on board. While this has worked for some people, the new size limits that were posted all over the place here clearly stated the nothing as long as a Boomerang wingspan would be allowed on board. If I was flying first class, I would be allowed to hang it up front. Otherwise, it might end up in the baggage compartment. I don't think bubble wrap would have prevented damage if a lot of suitcases were piled on top of it. I ended up taking the plane in the box I've always used. I think the main reason I got charged $75 is because the woman behind the counter was training another woman and she wanted to show how it was done. I have never been charged extra before for this box and Aloha did not charge me extra on two later flights. I also tried to find a bow case as was suggested. I think this would have worked great except that nobody had them in stock here because it wasn't hunting season. Also, if you got the b---h I got you might still get charged Part of the problem I think is that the airlines are continuing to make travel harder and harder so that they can squeeze out as much money as possible. You can expect to not be able to do things you could do in the past. Also, I would suggest trying to avoid young or in training check-in people. None of the Aloha airlines people even blinked when I handed them the box. Some people were even arriving with surf boards!

it was also on the speedvision channel last night! slimer but cool. 1/4 scale. jtm - Original Message - From: "Scobie Puchtler or Sarah Felstiner" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "RCSE" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2001 8:30 AM Subject: [RCSE] Bugatti (was Mindblower PSS candidate) I'm pretty sure this is the same plane that is being asked about in a recent thread called Bugatti. Obviously some folks are already thinking hard about modelling this thing. I got the link from a pal, and had no idea that the plane was already hot in the modelling community but I guess I'm not surprised.

Take a look at this thing and then have your mind blown by the fact that it was a 1937 design. I mean, really. Why do we even bother trying to design cool planes when we could just go hunting around the French countryside Read the article and history. The engineering details are just amazing. Would this make a cool PSS or what? How about a killer electric complete with counterrotating props? Who's up for it? Let me know when you've got it built.

Re: [RCSE] Towhook
Erik, you can get an adjustable tow hook assembly from New Creations. You can also do a little adjusting even with the fixed hook system as well. The way to accomplish this is ti use a longer down leg on your tow hook and it will move the effective position back without having to make more holes in the fuse. Take care Jim
