Re: [RCSE] Re: Windfree Days
Yes I had the Exp of watching both Mark Smith and his dad Rod Smith fly at the HSS field in Costa Mesa cal way back in 1973 or so .. mark was a Great!!!

I guess this says I have been doing it awhile then I found out that Girls were better than Models when going thru High School in the 70's.. so the gliders went... for 20 years now they are back Bigger and Better... so is my Pocket Book ..

[RCSE] Fw: Scale Soaring List JR TX Module
- Original Message - From: Gerry Harrison To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2001 8:51 PM Subject: Scale Soaring List JR TX Module Gents, I own a JR 8103 DT TX and am somewhat confused on the module purpose at this point. The JR manual informs the owner that if a frequency change is required you simply change the module with I suppose the new frequency ( manual is not that clear ). If you visit the Horizon Hobbies website the module and crystal set are sold separately. My question, is the JR TX module tuned to the appropriate TX crystal or can one put any frequency in the module with success. I have seen scale pilots change frequencies on the JR 8103 module by merely switching crystals...according to MY manual and meager understanding this is not the correct procedure.

Re: [RCSE] LED's
LEDs don't respond simply to voltage they are driven by current. LEDs should consequently be all in series so that they get the same current through them. The difficulty comes in generating that current with a simple yet efficient circuit. A battery of sufficient voltage connected to a series resistor in series with the string of LEDs will need to be approximately 2 volts per LED depending on the type of LED and the temperature of the LED (this typically varies during operation further complicating matters.) It won't be very efficient but it will work. Paralleling batteries doesn't produce a useful result; don't bother. Get batteries of sufficient capacity to produce approximately 2V per LED, add another cell(s) to give 2 volts of drop across the series resistor and provide the 20mA necessary. Here's a typical set of numbers: 4 LEDs (two wingtips, nose, tail) means ~8-9volts needed. This means an 8 NiCD or NiMH cell battery with each cell rated at ~100mAH so that it can actually drive 20mA. You might get by with 50mAH cells. Add another two cells to drive the drop across the resistor. That makes a 10cell pack. Use a 100ohm resistor to give about 20mA. If you didn't care about recharging you could probably use a 9v alkaline battery with a 100ohm resistor if you only used three LEDs. You could do this a heck of a lot more efficiently by using niteops or by using a single cell with a voltage converter like the LT1932 and a few parts. have fun jtm - Original Message - From: "Perry Hudson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2001 11:25 AM Subject: [RCSE] LED's Um.

RE: [RCSE] Re: Starting out
I would recommend visiting the Ezone at www.ezonemag.com and looking at their reviews section for several reviews of powered electric sailplanes. Also stop by the sailplane forum in the discussion area and ask away. The Ezone is a great resource, and it can stop you from buying twice. The people there can teach you how to take a lame stock electric kit like say the Aspire EP ARF, and purchase the correct power system the first time instead of a lame stock one. Definitely worth checking out before you buy. Good Luck Nick Wisdom Orlando, FL RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The larger size is very deceptive. It doesn't look fast even when it's going fast. And of course, for the same precent of bending, the amount of bending you see at the tip on a larger wing will look like more.
