[RCSE] Cockpit Master Sim PC Specs?
Sim'ers, To those of you running Multiplex's Cockpit Master RC Flight Sim: Just wondering what the specs on your PC's are. I'm a Mac guy myself, but I'm considering picking up an old PC (or new, if necessary) to run an RC flight sim as I can't find a good Mac program out there. I found these specs on the flight sim webpage at http://www.cockpitmaster.com/index_nn4.html *300Mhz Intel® Pentium® or equivalent *3D accelerated video card *32 MB RAM *Windows® 95 or 98 *DirectX? 7A (or above) Any suggestions for a PC box to meet these needs?

Re: [RCSE] Ultracote Plus source
Ultracote is handled by Horizon Hobbies. www.horizonhobby.com. Web site says black and white are in stock. They are now the exclusive north america distributors and you'll start seeing the Hangar 9 name instead of Goldberg. Of course that also explains why Tower has discontinued the product.

Greetings all, sorta newbie here and I find my self now owning an older JR MAX 4 Ch Radio on Channel 56 with an R/CMA AMA RFCheck gold sticker on the back. It has a 9.6v 800 mAh Ni-Cd battery and a charging jack on the side. Could someone tell me if a standard Hitec TX charger will work with it, or do I need a specific JR charger to charge this. The battery pack has a 9v looking connector on it. David Goebel, Altus OK RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Report on the breaking of the DS speed record.
Great story. 180 mph seems to be a barrier and that is only for this year. What is needed is a breakthrough much like the X1 with a guy like Chuck Yeager at the controls. It'll happen. Will it be swept wings, short wings, hollow molded or solid? It will be fun to hear about it here first on RCSE. Charles - Original Message - From: Barry Baskin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 18, 2001 6:56 PM Subject: [RCSE] Report on the breaking of the DS speed record. This weekend Craig Toutolmin, Dave Reese, my son Gavin, and I made our pilgrimage to Parker, in part to make a run at the fastest recorded speed (Paul Naton at 173mph, not at Parker). We were armed with a recently calibrated and new radar gun, which is very accurate. Of course we also intended to placate the DS gods with a small sacrifice or 2, just to be safe. After the F3F race at Vincent ( jeez I suck, these old thumbs don't do what my brain says), it was over to Parker for my drug of choice. OK, I'll admit it, I have enrolled at DS Anonymous...and it is not helping. On Sunday the conditions on the front side were from the West about 15mph, sometimes up to 20. The back side ranged from bumpy and violently turbulent to silky smooth. Temperatures, a cool 100 in the shade. On our first run at the record, videotaped as well, Dave flew his Ellipse 2V, special carbon version for DS. I was watching from afar, while getting my stuff ready, and heard this shrieking sound of the plane doing circles at a speed I have not seen often before. It must be a record I thought, running over to see the speeds on the gun. This gun can't be accurate, 150mph. Dave's palms are sweating as he shoots out to the front side to gather his senses. Then back in. A few laps, 166mph( about a dozen of those), 170 mph, oooh sooo close Dave as he bails out and the rest can come out of the bunkers. He he goes again, back in, working the air, changing directions, yes, a tied record at 173mph, Dave pushing harder, the plane is not happy and making sounds, another 173mph and Dave needs to bail. Safe landing. Now my turn with my Millenium Extreme beautifully designed and built by RnR products. Rich Spicer took a long time thinking this through, and it shows. My heart is in my mouth, no way can I go at the speed I just saw, but a personal record maybe. I work it all I can, every way I know. 150mph. I land. Craig flies his amazing 3M home-brew, working his beater over, but he is rock steady, 140mph. Then Joe Wurts arrives and I know the record is about to fall. What records doesn't he hold? This time Joe checks my set ups and changes it all, I launch and I am struggling with the turbulence but getting it up there again 150mph, 2 more turns left in me, yes, 155mph (pulse rate breaks the record at 173) a personal best. I hand the TX to Joe to have a go. Little more need be said to those who have seen him do this. To those who haven't. See this. He takes it in and is at 150mph without a struggle. Many turns later and adjustments to line have him repeatedly clocking close to and just over 170mph, then he gets a pop and suddenly it is 174mph then 176mph. I am standing rooted to the spot, my half inch square chromoly joiner (perfectly made by Doug Boyd) is bending...And he punches out to almost speck height. Wow. This was a thrill I won't forget, too bad I don't have the skills to do this. Dave flies it to 166mph, then Craig takes it to 155mph. We flew many planes through the day. Craig clocked close to 150mph on his home built Circle Jerk, Dave gets his old Diamond around the 140's. We all take a crack at the Essoraj and the high speed is 125mph. Gavin gets the Essoraj to 122mph and then his 60 Victor to 110mph and promptly sacrifices to the DS gods who are now due. A 60 sloper, a Stilletto gets 100, the JW 95 and it is about 8pm and I am seeing double. I report tommorrow for my first 12 step meeting. Barry Baskin.

Re: [RCSE] CD's Ruling
Michael, A stuck solenoid would get a reflight. The case there is that the equipment failed, causing the crash (incidental). I would expect a reflight to be allowed there. A stab that gets hooked by the retriver line happens all the time. And it is not the grounds for a reflight...at least in my book. I cannot think of any way that the operator could cause the line to get looped. That is the pilot's technique. I think that a CD could be leniant towards sportsman in this case, since this is a common beginner error (diving to far in the zoom for instance) and I MIGHT be persuaded to allow a reflight. And yes, it did happen to me as a sportsman while I was leading a contest...and no I did not get a reflight.

Simple as that. I do not knwo of any ruling or situation that would allow a reflight for a structural failure. Yes, the person can fly the rest of hte contest with their backup plane, but no they cannot refly that round. Jason Werner If the structural failure is a result of a failure of the launch equipment then the pilot gets a reflight. Example a stuck solenoid folds the wing. Another possibility would be if the retreiver line hooked the stab and pulled it off through no fault of the pilot. This is unlikely but strange things happen. michael AMA 77292 N6CHV RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

At 07:28 PM 6/16/01 -0700, Elvis wrote: I would like to get flaps, and only the flaps, to deploy for half the stick range and more flaps with crow for the other half of the stick range. Is there a way to program the Airtronics Stylus to do this? Hi Elvis, This one's for the money ;-) Actually implementing flap stick positionally activated Crow (the function you describe) is not too difficult on the Stylus. First, you need to decide at which position of the flap stick you wish Crow to kick in (50% for half stick). Also you will need at least two unused C-MIXes (preferrably a third for compensation). Second, go to the Stick Switch menu (ST-SW). Select SP after the channel (CH). Move the flap stick to the desired point that you wish Crow to be activated. Let's say the last 50% of travel. Move the flap stick down until the ST% is 50. Position the cursor of the P in PNT. Press the YES(+) key and the PNT will reflect the ST position. Scroll ahead and select L. When the flap stick is pulled toward the bottom of the travel crossing the ST% point the prompt should change from OFF to ON. Before leaving the Stick Switch menu, remember which one of the 6 stick switches you assigned this function to. Third, move over to the landing menu (LAND) and zero out the CROW:L-AI R-AI. This eliminates the CROW (aileron UP travel) that occurred during normal landing mode. Fourth, go to the switch (SW) menu and move to the two unused C-MIXes (let's say C-MIX1 and C-MIX2). Enter the Stick Switch number (from 2nd step) as the mixer(s) activator. Fifth, go to the first unused C-MIX. Enter Flap (FL) for the master (MAS) and left aileron (LA) for the slave (SLA). Now with the flap stick pulled all the way to the bottom, enter either a (+) or (-) value in the % position (top, right corner of display) until the left aileron raises to the desired position. Remember this value. Move to C-MIX2 and enter the same information with the exception reversing the sign of the mix percentage and change the slave (SLA) to right aileron (RA). Now you should have just the flaps drooping until the flap stick crosses the CROW threshold, at which point the ailerons should then move up into crow position. Sixth, if you have already used the two-point flap-to-elevator compensation in the MIX menu, then you will need to use a third C-MIX to compensate pitching when the CROW threshold is crossed. I'll let you guess on this one. If you are using just one point of the flap-to-elevator compensation and happy with the pitch compensation, then subtact the stick switch percentage (50%) from 100% (this is because the compensation point is read opposite of the stick switch position) resulting in 50%. Set the POINT to 50%. Seventh, go fly the plane and observe the plane's pitch when the CROW threshold is crossed. Increase the compensation percentage at point #2 as needed to minimize pitch changes when CROW is activated. BTW, this procedure took about 20x the amount of time that the actual programming should take. Stylus Boy has left the building.
