[RCSE] Re: Report on the breaking of the DS speed record
Title: Re: Report on the breaking of the DS speed record From: Barry Baskin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: 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. Now my turn with my Millenium Extreme beautifully designed and built by RnR products .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... -- Hi, guys, First of all congrats to the guy, of course, then , please, some more info on the plane : here in Italy we are all boiling. As Dave already knows, I'm the one who, after having read on RCSE about DS by JW, was the first in Italy to do it, more than 2 years ago. Well we'd like to know more about the model and its structure, specially the wing joiner. We are all discovering that our single and even double 14 x 3 mm steel blades ( the ones sold by Graupner, I believe) are actually bending permanently after strong DS session, which are surely below your recorded speed, so we are wondering about your square half inch one. Is it really a square one or is it a blade ? Does a picture of the model exist somewhere on the web ? or in Lift Ticket ? How is the wing built ? I thank you very much for the info and be known that we all envy you for the ball you had ! Ciao from Italy. Tullio. Ing. Tullio BONFIGLIO Ansaldo Energia IMP/ING/AUT - F12 / P5 Via N.

Is this really true or just scuttlebutt? I have even heard of some fellow in Colorado out zooming regular open machines. I think the fellow is flying a Majestic. Can this be true?

[RCSE] (Formerly) Batteries -- Correction to past story
Jon and all others interested, I learned last night that a battery problem did exist during the recent Montague X-C Challenge event in Montague, CA. The battery, for whatever unknown reason of Rich Tiltman's SB/Spicer T did crap out during one of his flights on Sat. They did accomplish a quick battery change, and the plane was in a terminal speed dive, but when Rich pulled back on the stick to regain control of the plane, a wing tip panel blew up. Being the expert pilot he is, Rich was able to control it to a landing, not a terminal crash. He continued on in the contest with a back up plane. Just to keep things on RCSE up to date and correct as I know it. Thermals Jerry Miller SOSS-Medford, OR
