[RCSE] molded toys for sale
Hi guys, Due to some recent family monetary need issues, I've gotta get rid of some of my toys help pay off some debts. 1) NIB Image 2m. White/Purple. Has very slight hangar rash on rudder and fuselage... nothing structural. Pics can be seen at http://www.ericfarmer.com/image.html Asking $550 shipped COD. 2) Eraser 2000/F3B. Glass skins, Yellow/Blue. Near perfect airframe with the exception of a well used center panel (ding in the LE and a few wrinkles, but nothing structural) and some very small cracks around the wing saddle. Comes with 6 MPX servos (4 Mc/V2 in wing, 2 analog in fuse) and a 5 cell 600mah pack. $600 shipped COD. 3) Cobra Calypso F3B. Well used, White/Red. All carbon skins... stiff stiff stiff. You know the airplane, I don't have to explain it. Been flown a lot, I'm the third owner. Has a few field repairs done to it, but still pretty from 15 feet away. Comes with 6 JR341s installed, Hitec Supreme 8ch Rx (Futaba flavor, no crystal), and 800mah pack. Also have tools and ballast that will come with it. Asking $650 shipped COD. 4) Raptor Poly DLG. Delam in left wing, root panel. Easy fix. The balsa tail is a little beat, but would be easy to fix, and probably easier to just replace. Has two HS50s installed and a 270mah NiMh battery. $150. Would like to sell locally in SoCal as I don't want to cut the wing to ship. I'll be at the SWSA Sc2 on the 30th. If interested, please e-mail me off the list. Thanks for the bandwidth.

Re: [RCSE] Spring Fling Map?
David, sorry the club web site is down. We're in the process of changing hosts and we got cut off by the former. Our field is pretty easy to find. It's located in the People's Republic of Davis, CA. We're 3.8 miles south of interstate 80 on Mace Blvd. Tremont Road intersects Mace Blvd. at the entrance to the field. Just look for our sign. Easiest way to get there is to take Interstate 80 through Davis and look for the Mace Blvd. exit then head south.

RE: [RCSE] IESC RESULTS
First I will add my thanks to the club for a good weekend and for the guts to fly man on man. Great job guys!!! BTW. Thanks for the ass whipping Manny! Man on man flying is defiantly the way to go. Everyone I talked to liked the idea and had a few suggestions (listed below) The IESC flying site has some very tough air, if you zigged when you should have zagged you found yourself at 1/2 launch height in short time.. The contest used retrievers and 4 winches for 5 man groups, sometimes the last guy in the group launched 1 1/2 to 2 minutes behind the first guy and the professional sandbaggers took full advantage of it. When the air is that fickle 1 minute is enough time to figure out who NOT to follow. Short line were not a problem but you did need a good launch set up. The contest was defiantly biased towards soaring with a max of 5 landing points possible. The contest was also a triathlon scoring thrown in for fun. The first round was a 3 minute bell curve straight up. What I heard for suggestions: * Landing points could be higher but more importantly define a tighter landing area. If you don't define a landing area then guys are landing all over the place from all directions. At this contest inside the 1/4 mile track would be a good landing area. Outside the landing area would receive no points. It would be safer and more controlled. * Drop the triathlon, go with all 10 minute man on man flights. * More winches, the retrievers worked and pilots were launched as soon as possible with the manpower available. Without retrievers you can get the group up faster but you also need more help shagging lines. If you have the space between winches then retrievers are a good idea. At our field we can't spread out wide enough to keep the bow from the retriever line out of the next pilots way so you need to wait for the retriever to tighten the line before the next pilot can launch. Worse in a cross wind. At HSS we will put some of these suggestion into play so if your July 7th Sunday is open come on out.

If it's at all like the IHLGF, I'm always surprised how little poaching actually takes place. You have less time to decide in hand launch, and 25' can make a big difference, but I would think that with good launches there would be the opportunity to just try and cover the leader. The launch lines were quite short, and the winches easily stalled - not much launch height. The air was brutal - light disorganized lift with BIG sink. I was not instantly comfortable on any of my flights. (Except the 3) There was a bit of herd mentality, but if you wanted to make your times, you needed to break away from the pack. I think only the top 3 made all their times - and Cohn turned an 8 minute on a 10 minute task into a 1,000. (So actually only 2 of the top 3 made their times) I was trying to figure out if this would have been the case had the contest NOT been held man on man. I think many more people would have made their times had it been held in a normal contest format. There would have been planes in the air to read and cover. Or to read and go the other way. The contest definitely emphasized soaring skills - it was more fun than the typical steer and stabs we normally fly in. Thanks again to ISS for trying something new - it was a hoot!

Re: [RCSE] HS 85 MG - straight from the horses mouth
About equal in slop to the 368. They're both very tight. I measured 33.7x30x10.3mm without the tabs and 39.9x42x10.3mm with tabs. Add 6.7mm for the height of the arm (to the tip of the screw). -Ben CrashK wrote: Could someone confirm the dimensions for the HS-5125?

Re: [RCSE] HS-5125 specs
I've been trying to decide between the 5125 and the JR DS368 for a flap servo. The JR shows a torque rating slightly higher then the the Hitec's 6v torque rating. Does anyone know whether JR's torque specs are measured at 4.8 or 6v? Steve Meyer wrote: There is a very good specification sheet with drawing on their site.

My name is Vince and I was the CD for the contest. People were launching in groups of 5 and total time was about 35 to 40 secs. to get the group up. Planes went left and right searching unless they all flew into a thermal off tow. So in my opinion they was no chasing the leader.
