Re: [RCSE] Please help me assess slope!
Here are a few piccies if anyone is curious. In fact the hill is more pyramid than cone and it has good flat sides. http://members.fortunecity.com/gazwaz/IMG_0787.jpg http://members.fortunecity.com/gazwaz/IMG_0788.jpg http://members.fortunecity.com/gazwaz/IMG_0792.jpg http://members.fortunecity.com/gazwaz/IMG_0804.jpg http://members.fortunecity.com/gazwaz/IMG_0808.jpg cheers for all the replies :) Gareth RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] TAM 3, in the air!
Last postition I see is at 4:28 GMT, and it looks like 4 Km/Hr at 3 Meter altitude. Is the big Maltese 'X' significant? .bc([EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.widomaker.com/~conk Williamsburg, VA 23185 On Wed, 21 Aug 2002, Steve Meyer wrote: That's great Except, according to the web page the last data received from TAM 3 was over 11 hours ago!

From site: Aug 21 0428 GMT was the last time we heard from TAM-3, we are still uncertain what happened. -Original Message- From: Bill Conkling [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2002 11:21 AM To: Steve Meyer Cc: Dennis Phelan; =?X-UNKNOWN?Q?Soaring=A0List?= Subject: Re: [RCSE] TAM 3, in the air!

Re: [RCSE] Altimeter watches?
Does it record MAX or Total Gain. I seem to have read of a device that measures altitude gain. In other words, if you have a hill in your neighborhood that rises 100 feet and your ride up the hill, and down, and up and down a total of ten cycles (up/down) you see a total of 1000 feet altitude gain, although you never achieved an altitude of more than 100 feet. This is useful for a bycyclist, but I'm not sure this is what I want to know about my sailplane flight. It mught be a useful tool, but I'm not sure. .bc([EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.widomaker.com/~conk Williamsburg, VA 23185 On Wed, 21 Aug 2002, Neal Capener wrote: The Avocet records max altitude.

Re: [RCSE] Altimeter watches?
Both. The max altitude reached and the accumulated feet climbed (or descended).

Re: [RCSE] XCSoaring web site
After a trip to Visalia last year, and a whole bunch of proding, I got Dean to sell me one of those custom transport boxes for the SBXC.

A couple of the upgrades, I have already built into my SBXC, but of course they do not look as nice. The point is, I know that a bunch of you out there have an SBXC, might be worth taking a look this manual.

[RCSE] Mile Square Park
I'll be working later in the week in Fullerton, CA and I'm wondering if there are still R/C activities taking place there. Last time I drove by evil golf was the only thing I saw going on. Thanks, Garland Hanson CASL

[RCSE] Netrual point calculation question
Model Aircraft Aerodynamics by Martin Simons has a set of formulas in one of the Appendices that allows you to calculate the approximate neutral point and static margin of an aircraft. One of the parameters is the "length of the tail arm". It does not indicate exactly what this means. I am presuming that it is one of center of wing to center of stab, quarter chord line to quarter chord line, or wing TE to stab LE. Can anyone shed some light on this? Alternatively, his example uses a plane called a Bantam with a 1.25M span, which he quotes the tail arm to be 0.557M. If anyone has one of these and can measure, that would also be appreciated. I know that I can always start with the most conservative answer and work from there, but the engineer in me needs a more exact basis for my calculations.

[RCSE] Old CA glue
Hi, I have a bottle of medium cyanoacrilate that was opened for the fisrt time almost one year ago, last niht I tried to use it and found that now the time to set and dry is longer, maybe 15 minutes, however it seems to keep joined the parts as normnal. my question is if therr could be some strength penalty on using this glue (I don't care to wait for a while because I don't use it very often) thanks for your comments Oscar Taboada Mexico RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Netrual point calculation question
Usually this is the distance between the MAC/4 of the stab and wing. .bc([EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.widomaker.com/~conk Williamsburg, VA 23185 On Wed, 21 Aug 2002, Tom Koszuta wrote: Model Aircraft Aerodynamics by Martin Simons has a set of formulas in one of the Appendices that allows you to calculate the approximate neutral point and static margin of an aircraft.
