Re: [RCSE] River of lift.
Hi Gordon, Thanks for your believable theory. I've flown my Escape right off the beach in S. CT wondering all the time what the hell kept it up, at near spec height. The plane was probably right over the water's edge and flying like it was in wave. i.e. just hovering at windspeed. I couldn't believe it was a wave at the time. Surface WS were only 10-12 kt. This happened many times and I landed only because I got bored and needed an aerobatic fix. As I recall, we met at the soaring symposium last Mar. or April. How's that ugly airplane (mantis) of yours doing? :) cheers. -- Stephen Syrotiak Building Service Southern Connecticut RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] 48 Wire
Hey Team, Ive looked all over Minneapolis (4 Hobby Stores), for (48 wire)- 1/16 (.062): for use in my Summa Classic. No hobby shops carry wire in-store longer than 36. RnR (Mark Triebes) said its a special order item from Ace Hardware. I stopped at my local ACE and even they didnt have lengths beyond 36 in their Master Catalogue. Can you suggest a source for 48 piano-wire? Appreciate your suggestions. Bill Rakozy RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send subscribe and unsubscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [RCSE] Radio question
In my quest to find a radio I'm try find hobby stores in Seattle/Bellevue area and have been somewhat unsucessfull. Both Abernathy's and Hobby town on the east side only have JR (to look at) Can anyone point me to other hobby shops that are not too far away. I've tried to call Websters but the best phone numbers I can find for them are all no answer. Thanks for your help again! -Original Message- From: Tripp Meister Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 8:28 PM To: rcse Subject: [RCSE] Radio question Ok, I'm not looking to start a religious war or anything but I'm looking for a new radio. I first was thinking that the Profi 3030 was what I wanted, then I was thinking that the stylus would suite my needs while saving me some money at the same time, but I really like the idea of the Multiplex Evo (the crystal synthesizer I wouldn't need to stick with 50 Mhz) but I'm sure the cost will be pretty high (my presumption). Then I stumbled across the Hitec Eclipse with the synth module and started to think, hmmm. My type of flying: I fly mostly slope and have started to play with some electrics but I'm not a big thermal, scale, or complex flying. What I have now: Airtronics Inifinity on 50Mhz vintage '95 I'd love to hear from members of this list on why I should go for the MASSIVE flexability of the Profi and a much higher cost to the stylus or Eclipse.

Re: [RCSE] River of lift.
This may be related to the 'onshore/offshore' wind effects. The water is a temperature moderator, and is usually cooler than the shore. During the day, the sun heats the shoreline nicely, and thus warms the air above it, but the water temperature changes very little. This warm onshore air rises, and is replaced by the cooler offshore air - which is subsequently warmed and the cycle continues, as long as there is heat input like sunshine. That 10-12 knot wind you feel is only at surface level. The air above could be going any which way! Ever noteced that wherever you are around a VERY large body of water the wind usually is blowing onshore from over the water? Good sky; J.P.

Some Automotive paint stores. And they carry most colors. Silver, blue tint, red tint I think yellow too.

[RCSE] solar balloon as alt. launch method
Hi, I posted some weeks ago a message about using an helium balloon as an alternative launch method, I received some interesting feed-back. I've looked around and can say that it is technically feasible (it takes about about a cubic meter of helium to lift 300-500g) but expensive. Here in Switzerland it would cost me about 50$ per launch, no thanks. Then I saw a post about asking someone to carry and launch your plane from a hot air ballons (big ones). There might be an easier way out. Type solar balloon in your favorite search engines and you'll find plenty of pages on the topic. Some are very easy to build, just scotch some black plastic garbage bags together and the sun will do the rest on a sunny and windless day. To lift 300g you need about a balloon of 3 or 4m in diameter. I saw a nice plane here weighing just under 200g. Apparently you can lift a few 100meters high without problems. Wind is no good though, not a problem here where I live. I think I'll give it a try. Critics are welcomed.
