[RCSE] Off Topic - Virus issues
Folks, its been on CNN and other news all day. If your AV is current 24 Nov or later, it should catch it, if not check Norton AV website at http://www.sarc.com and it includes how to manually remove the W32.BadTrans.B@mm virus, and there is another that's just as bad. Symantec Security Response is currently tracking two threats. Both threats have a rating of Category 4 (Severe). W32.Badtrans.B@mm is a MAPI worm that emails itself out as one of several different filenames. W32.Aliz.Worm is an SMTP mass mailer worm that can be executed just by reading or previewing the file. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Fair Winds, David Goebel Small Computer Tech whose been removing the darn thing from many customers who refused to update their AV...

Re: [RCSE] Off Topic - Virus issues
Good information David. For those without virus scanners you can go to www.antivirus.com and you can scan your PC via the web. They also have a tool for checking Outlook to see if its already infected. For those using MS Outlook (I believe the only target of these worms) go to Microsoft's website for an update.

Fwd: [RCSE] 2.9 Saturn

Hi Jim, I was talking about winch launching, not two man towing which has a lot more power available. You have missed the main point which was to do with the lack of noise over the other Mouldies.

Re: Re: [RCSE] RDS drag reduction, speed increase
In a message dated 11/27/01 10:15:14 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: One other thing to be careful of is the difference between stiffness and stiffness-to-weight. The stiffness of most carbon fiber-epoxy per square inch of material is nowhere near as high as that of steel. A 1/8 diameter carbon rod, even with the fibers oriented for torsion, would be torsionally much less stiff than a 1/8 steel rod. However, the stiffness-to-weight ratio of the carbon is much higher than steel. If you replaced a 1/8 diameter steel rod with a torsionally-oriented carbon fiber rod of the same WEIGHT, the carbon fiber rod would be stiffer. However, it would also be more than twice as big in diameter. Whether you could get an improvement from that approach would depend on whether you had enough room for the fatter rod. At that point you might also want to consider a steel tube. For stiffness-critical structures, if space is the limiting factor, its usually best to go with the stiffest material available. If weight is the criteria and space is not a constraint, the best choice is probably the material with the best stiffness-to-weight ratio. For RADS, where the thickness available for the pocket in the control surface is usually the limiting factor (at least in most of our applications), steel is therefore probably the best choice. Don Stackhouse @ DJ Aerotech Don, Thanks for your extensive examination of the heat treated drive shaft issue. I think that we have arrived at the same conclusion (hardened tool steel rods are the best choice for the RDS application) with very different approaches. I'm just a machinist, occasionally a blacksmith, and not an engineer. My problem with the tubing approach was the same one you pointed out though. It would have to be a larger tube than most wings could accomidate in order to be strong enough to do the job. I know that Mike Garton is doing some tests on servos and RDS that might contribute some data for this discussion. He told me that the results would be in his February Model Aviation, soaring column.

Re: [RCSE] Pull-pull Info
It looks like the pull-pull cables go through the airframe at an angle, i.e. it is not a straight shot towards the tail. Is this commonly done and is there no friction penalty if using teflon tubing? http://users.ids.net/~bdfelice/ Brian has a really good site with the explanation of Ackerman and lots of photos on installation.

Given the great friction reduction you get when using pull-pull in straight runs (compared to a shaft in a tube) a little bit in a bend is no problem. On a larger model you can use a pully though. I don't know if it is commonly done, but it works :) -- Andrew E. Mileski Ottawa, Canada RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
