[RCSE] Wingeron plane w/ add-on mixer
I was wondering if I can use an aftermarket electronic mixer (like the one from Ohmark) for use in a Wigeron plane like the CR Turbo ST? Or is the mixer only for V-tails and flying wings? I've never flown one of these wingeron planes so I'm a little confused, but it would seem that the control surfaces would work the same in principal as a V-tail or flying wing. Thanks Peter

Re: [RCSE] Sources for Hinge tape, reflecting tape
Go to Home Depot or Lowes. You'll find hinging tape in huge (60') rolls for less than $4.00. It's the good tough stretchy stuff that the RC people sell for a buck a foot or so...

Re: [RCSE] 8 Hour Slope Flights at Brookville

I was privileged to be a witness for Jack on Saturday, but didn't make it back on Sunday. I haven't seen anything about John Schmoll reported here, and believe he deserves mention. John is a former AMA record holder for Class A thermal duration and always a contest force to be reckoned with. Maybe we get a little over elated about these 8 hour flights here in fly-over country, but it is quite a challenge owing to the scarcity of suitable sites and favorable weather/wind conditions, to say nothing of what everyone faces--the physical and mental test. Congratulations to all three of these guys. Better luck next time to the two who didn't make it, both came down after about 3 hours. Been there, done that, guystry about 7+ !!!

RE: [RCSE] Wingeron plane w/ add-on mixer
I'm not familiar with this particular model, but I've flown and designed both wingeron and pitcheron slopers. If it's a wingeron plane where the wings act like ailerons, and there is still a separate elevator in back, you don't need a mixer at all. If it's a pitcheron plane where the wings must act like aileronsAND relative elevator all at once (the tail is usually fully fixed-no controls- on a pitcheron plane), then you DO need mix capacity. An ohmark mixerwill probably do the trick, though it would be nicer to have independent relative travel control over the elevator and aileron functions of the mix.

Re: [RCSE] Smiley Antennas ! A BAD THING!!!
On subject. What do you clean or lube you antenna with? Mine is is sticky and needs something. Charles. - Original Message - From: Steven Bixby [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Albert Wedworth [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2001 11:10 AM Subject: Re: [RCSE] Smiley Antennas ! A BAD THING!!! Don't EVER clean your antenna with WD 40, IT'S BAD THING! Use 3 in 1 oil! WD 40 is a degreaser not a lubricant! Also it evaporates! I don't agree with this - WD-40 *cleans* the antenna so the telescoping bits can make solid contact again. Putting 3-n-1 oil on an antenna is an invitation to dirt build-up and subsequent poor electrrical contact. I don't think the point of the WD-40 here is to *lubricate* the antenna, but to clean it and leave it relatively lubricant free. As far as WD-40 goes, in general: WD stands for Water Displacement. It's originally designed to push water out of mechanical components. It does have lubricant in it, but just a very little bit, serving more as a protectant to metal. The stuff that evaporates is a carrier, not the lubricant itself. The fact that it'll cut grease, loosen rusty bolts, remove adhesive 'goo', etc - all bonuses that make it a useful product. I'll get off my soapbox, but I do think people excessively malign a good product by expecting something different from it's designed purpose. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
