RE: [RCSE] Blue thingy on the 5125
I must be missing something. The blue thingy is an anodised metal servo arm and the dark spots are the holes.

[RCSE] Dodgson Designs !!!
To all Dodgson Designs flyers, Thanks to all of you that responded both on the exchange and to me privately. There was much more correspondence than I thought there would be. There seams to be a big interest in the Pivot. That is good. It was the one kit I thought I would try to build first as it is small and would have the minimum amount of startup investment. I was thinking of trying to put together about 20 kits and see if they would sell. I have a few things to iron out so if anything happens it would be later in 2002. If anyone has an unbuilt kit and would like to sell it it would be much appreciated. I still need of of these kits to use as a prototype. If you would weigh the fuse and canopy on a gram scale and email the weights of the fuse that would help. At least I would have a target weight to lay the new fuses at. If anyone has any Dodgson kits they want to sell I very well may be interested. I have many but am still missing some to complete the collection of prototypes that will be used for production. Email or call with what you have available. I could do something like buy it from you and offer somekind of deal on a new kit when they are produced. Any help, old catalogs, plans, instructions (for any of Bob's kits) that you don't mind parting with will be great. I would even like photo copies or I can copy and mail original back to you. What ever you can do. Email photos of your old Dodgson planes. I'll keep and archive and may possibly use some in future newsletters, etc. Looking forward to hearing from all of you, Have a great New Year, Shawn Lenci 1311 San Joaquin St. Escalon, CA 95320 209-838-3869 eve 209-468-2683 day [EMAIL PROTECTED] email RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] High start problem
First off, take the Hi-start you now have and through it into the trash or if you think you might do some bungee launching in the future, save it, take the rubber and double it over and do that again so you now have 4 strands and it might be good for that. Secondly, call Rich at Holiday designs 919-835-0199, tell him what you're flying and he will fix you up with what you need. G. -Original Message- From: Andy Roberts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 07, 2002 9:59 AM To: Soaring (E-mail) Subject: [RCSE] High start problem Ok I will try to make this brief. I have been flying for about a month under the watchful eyes of the local flying club (Seminole Flying Club - Tallahassee) who have been very informative and patient with me. I have gotten my plane (a Spirit) set up trimmed balanced etc. and have used their highstart many many times for launching. they use a Heavy duty high start and I typically stretch it back 60 steps to launch and have had no problems. Then Christmas rolls around and I look in the catalog which says for a 2 meter plane a standard highstart is what I need and I tell the wife I want a Dynaflight standard Highstart for Christmas, I know there are 10 million brands of highstarts out there but I had to make this easy on her or I was getting socks for christmas. Anyway I have been out (to a different field) 2 times now to attempting to use the new highstart which feels very soft compared to what the ones the guys in the flying club own, I have pulled it back about 110 steps launched into the wind (7-8 mph tops) and when I get about 60 feet up it seems to quit gaining altitude, nose down and then will typically make a weird twist and pop off of the high start. I know the quick answer is take the high start out to the flying club and have them check it out, but I have not been able to make it out there due to schedule conflicts, rain etc. My guesses at what I need to do - 1 my plane is too heavy for the high start and I need a heavy duty 2 move my tow hook up or back due to a weaker high start 3 try flying another field(I have not used it at the field where the club flies) this one has bad juju 3 pull back the highstart 50 more steps Any suggestions If we are what we eat, then I'm easy, fast, and cheap.

Re: [RCSE] Blue thingy on the 5125
Well! . .I blinked and then it looked like a servo arm. At first glance, it looked like something tubular-like running parallel along the side of the case!

RE: [RCSE] Blue thingy on the 5125
I have a perfectly good monitor, and cannot see what you're referring to Harley. The photo I get to from this link: http://www.hitecrcd.com/Newproducts/5125.htm shows me a view of the servo from an angle that wouldn't show set screws even if they were there, only the arm surface that has the main mounting screw and the holes for clevises. So I'm wondering whether there is more than one photo, or what's going on? Anyone have clarification here? Are folks using another link with another photo? Lift, Scobie in Seattle.

Re: [RCSE] Blue thingy on the 5125
I'm with you Harley. I though the holes were set screws too. I had to look real hard to that it was a servo arm. -Ben Harley Michaelis wrote: Well! . .I blinked and then it looked like a servo arm.

Re: [RCSE] Blue thingy on the 5125
The eyes are playing tricks with your mind. That is a servo arm NOT, as your mind is seeing it, a shaft sticking out the top of the servo with holes in it. I'm not sure anyone is ever going to be ?smart? enough to make a RDS dedicated servo - Original Message - From: Harley Michaelis [EMAIL PROTECTED] Anyone know if the dark spots on the blue thingy are setscrews?

Re: [RCSE] anyone use 5125 digital servo yet?
Imitation the sincerest form of flattery. Karlton, If these servos are an imitation does that mean that the new MPX Digi are now smaller and have side mount lugs for wing mounting. I sure hope so cause we all know RED is RIGHT when it comes to digital servos.

[RCSE] Im Out of here too-BASHING
For more years than I care to count I have always deleted any message hinting towards bashing or unfair attacks. While I have indulged in my fair share of debates and disagreements I like to think they were professional and respectful, (and only conducted with people I respect). I think responding in any form to these bashing threads only adds to the negativity. So this will be the first and hopefully last time I break tradition and respond. As someone who has contributed R/C soraing, and actively been involved with products, design, and sponsorship into this hobby, I know what a thankless task it can be. The problem is the thankless originates from those that don't have a clue. Those that understand are grateful and thankful. This is our hobby. Let's support those that are promoting, improving, and contributing to make it an even better hobby. Both Karlton and Sal have done great things for this hobby supporting major events an sponsoring US team members. These acts have a positive trickle down affect to the ENTIRE R/C community. The entire hobby has benefited greatly from their (and others) generosity and involvement. I recommend everyone ignore stupid posts and perhaps send personal emails recommending the complainers unsubscribe, and send thanks and praise to those who truely support our hobby. As a serious R/C enthusiast, and hopefully a future US F3B team representative, I am grateful to the support I have received both as a paying customer, and as a humble, respectfull, sponsored US team member. Thanks Karlton, your confidence and support. It has helped inspire my efforts to try and make it back to the F3B World Champs to try and match the legacy of 2 other pilots you have helped - Joe and Daryl. To those complainers, insytead of complaining, exercise your other option and DO IT YOUSELF!! Gavin RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
