[RCSE] 8uafs and hitec rx?

2002-07-08 Thread Lincoln Ross

Simple radios can be decent. If it has a dual conversion receiver and
nicads, you will probably always have a use for it. I have been in this
hobby since 1984 and I keep messing around with simple airplanes and
radios, whether I also have a contest setup at the time or not. A Hitec
3 channel with a 555 RX is probably perfectly adequate. I have several
Vision 4 channels, but they aren't made anymore. Besides, which tx would
you rather drop when you hurl an hlg and slip on the wet grass! BTW, all
those bells and whistles are distracting!

If you must keep up with the Joneses, please ignore the above.

P.S. which glider?

If you want to learn to use every possible control ALL the time,
learn to fly a heli.

Heli's don't fly, they beat the air into submission.

Re: [RCSE] Bored power pilots?

2002-07-08 Thread Gregory Morris

There has been several posts on how flying sailplanes can help you become a
better pilot. I couldn't agree more.

However if you want to become one of the elite pilots you MUST learn to use
the rudder (on full house ships of course). Uncouple the aileron mix and go
for it. I took me about a year to become proficient (knowing which direction
to push rudder while inverted without thinking too much about it).

Once you start using your left thumb, you feel like you don't have full
control when you switch back to coupled ailerons. Don't believe me, then
give it a try.

[RCSE] 8uafs and hitec rx?

2002-07-08 Thread Brian Stutters

please pardon my newbie-ness and feel free to respond
to me directly instead of clogging up the list, but
i've got a question.

i've just finished my first glider (and first r/c
plane in general), and have recently been looking for
a radio to stick in it.  i've had enough people tell
me not to play around with a simple radio and just get
a decent one right off the bat that i've decided to
find a used 8uafs (or version thereof) and just wait a
bit longer while i get together the added dough.  i've
heard lots of good things about the hitec Super Slim 8
receiver and wanted to double check that that receiver
works well with the 8uafs tx. anyone care to confirm
that for me?

thanks a bunch.

brian

[RCSE] FS: Allegro tail booms! (new lower price)

2002-07-08 Thread Pat Sloan

Group,

We just received another shipment of Allegro booms.  Rick was able to secure a
better price from our supplier.  So we have adjusted our price to reflect the
savings. We also  have a few booms that are 33.5" long.  I only have 5 long
booms available now.

Specs:

Standard Allegro boom:

27" long, 0.62" -> 0.36" OD, 14 g

Long Allegro boom

33.5" long, 0.64 -> 0.32" OD, 17 g

The diameters are measured with my cheap general caliper, so may not be exact.

New prices:

27" standard Allegro boom is now $15.50 + 6.00 shipping.
33.5" Allegro boom is $18.50 + 6.00 shipping.

I am charging 6.00 shipping as a flat rate no matter how many booms you order. 
Insurance is extra if you desire it.  I can not be responsible to booms damaged
in shipping.  Shipped via USPS priority mail.

Payment is by money order or via paypal not funded by a credit card.  My paypal
account is not capable of accepting credit card funded payments.

Regards

--pat

[RCSE] Mounting servos

2002-07-08 Thread John Ensoll

Gidday all,
Thanks for all the replys to my query, I received 5 in the first 1/2 hour
and to date 18 hours later, the number of replies is now 23.  Thank you all
for your thoughts and time.
I have the JR servos, and in the past have used a local bond called urethane
bond which remains flexible and is foam friendly.  However as I had other
work to do on the Cross-tail Eraser, I put out the query.
I have decide to go Eric Farmers way which is as follows:-

Glue a patch of carbon bidirectional cloth onto the top skin (with resin...
this will be permanant).  Use either foam safe CA or some 5min to glue the
servo directly to this.  Be sure you rough up the servo case first to get it
something to hold on to.  The foam safe CA is not to keep from eating the
foam in the wing, because rohacell is CA friendly, but rather because it is
somewhat more flexible than regular CA and can be broken away to remove the
servo.  Same with the 5 min.  Use only a small dot of adhesive right in the
center of the servo to hold it in place.  This will be plenty strong enough
for flight loads (My F3B and slope racers are done this way), but will be
easily removed in case of maintenance.

Thank you Eric.

Regards,
John Ensoll.

[RCSE] Corel 7 help! / Corsairs and thanks...

2002-07-08 Thread Aerofoam

Does anyone have a Corel Photopaint 7 disk #1 ?
I lost disk #1 and lost the program when my HD crashed in April and haven't
been able to reload the program.
Corel only supports the past 2 versions, so I am screwed..
I really need to edit some photos for the web site.

Soaring content:
I also have about 5 Corsair Blem kits at $20.00 off the normal price!
The blems are minor and will only add about 20 minutes to the normal
building time.
Email for more info.

Thanks for the bungee orders, I am now up to speed on bungees and histarts
and have worked out
the kinks in the supply line!
