RE: [RCSE] Sports F3B/F3J
Thanks for your answer. I totally agree that it's all about competing and having fun. That's why I am also building a Bird of Time and I intend to compete with her in our local (I just joined a club after flying for many years all by myself). I just have a thing for fibers and technology. That's my a molded sports F3B/F3J (I don't want the latest and hottest) appeals to me.

Re: [RCSE] CA remover
CA is permanent on most surfaces. Use 1500 or better 2000 grit wet and dry paper to smooth and level CA with paint. Be careful not to sand through the paint. Use Turtle wax red rubbing compound and finish with Turtle wax white compound. If you are careful with the sand paper and the rubbing compound, know will ever know there was a problem but you. This same system works very will for spot painting repairs. Maurice Does anyone know of a solvent to remove CA glue from a lacquered surface? > > Mark Mech >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >www.aerofoam.com > > >RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] Sports F3B/F3J
Hi When we run F3B locally, we encourage people to fly anything, even floaters. A Stepp 3 (3 metre floater) can do a 50 second speed run. My record with a Stepp Upp+ was 34 seconds. My previous best was 36 second, so I improved. Now I have a Tragi 700. You set your own benchmarks, and compete against similar models. Winning isn't everything - it is all about competing and having fun.

[RCSE] Sports F3B/F3J - RCSE in Europe
Hello, I'm closer to finishing my Bird of Time with spoilers actuated by wing servo's (thanks again for all your building tips. Should have it ready by Easter. Yesterday I had my first experience with winch launches and F3B flying with an, I think, english design called Cobra. Also, browsing through the german "Aufwind" magazine, I read a test about EMC-Vega's Harmony, which was described as a sports, allround F3B/F3J glider suitable for sports pilots as well as competition pilots. Is there such thing as a "sports" F3B/F3J glider? Does anyone have an experience with the EMC-Vega Harmony? Any other glider which could be considered a "sports" F3B/F3J glider? Also, does anybody know about a forum like RCSE in Europe (Germany)? TIA, Alex Janssen __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[RCSE] Flamingo setup
I have an old 'hand-me-down' Flamingo for which I'd like to get the setup. Does anyone have the manual on this bird? For starters, I'd like to get the CG, throws, differential and ai/ru mix.

Re: [RCSE] looking for a 60" slope trainer
The Fun-1 uses a totally different airfoil though (a rather thick SD 6060, I think). IMO, you can't really compare them either way, as the Fun-1 is somewhat slow, and designed to compete with other Fun-1's. I have a friend who's had the obechi sheeted Sparrow and now the composite 66" and he seems to like both (though it's been a while since he had the wood one). BTW, a really nice combo is the Fun-1 fuselage with the 60" balsa-sheeted S3014 Renegade wing. This is the the wing that came with the original wood Renegade. My friend used this combo, and found that it flew faster then the Fun-1 wing in both light and strong lift. The double taper also looks better. On top of that, the wing fits the Fun-1 fuselage *better* then the Fun-1 wing (probably because the Fun-1 fuse was originally designed for the S3014 airfoiled Blazer wing). Whether or not this wing is still available, I don't know.
