[RCSE] Four flight modes for Stylus
I was wondering if anybody has been able to come up with four flight modes for the Stylus Thermal, Section, reflex and launch. What I'm looking for is a way to get four different Differentials one for each switch position. I can get the defaulted three looking for the thermal diff. maybe through some type of mix. Thanks Darrell Z.

I posted the final scores and pictures from our contest in Wilson, NC on my web-site. Please, check them out at http://olgol.com/contest/ The page with the pictures takes a very long time to load, even though I have reduced size files on the main page and full pictures can be viewed as links from the main page. So please be patient when loading it. I may try to reduce the file sizes even further. Pilots, send me your corrections if you find any mistakes in my commentaries to the pictures!

[RCSE] Torrey Pines Gulls Holiday Party
From Alan, Moose Butler, V.P TPG: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ANNUAL HOLIDAY PARTY As most of you know, our December meeting is also our annual Holiday party. It is a potluck dinner combined with a small meeting, a HUGE raffle, our annual awards, and some kind of a hand-chuck glider contest where everyone has certain design guidelines to follow, something along the lines of a paper airplane-type of thing. This year, it is being held in the rotunda of the Aerospace Museum on Tuesday, December 10, from 7 till 9 PM. The contest will be held using the Stinger HLG from MM Glider Tech. We will have them available for only $1 by the Thanksgiving weekend. Contact me, or Terry Throop to get one or two. The contest will include duration, distance, maybe an all-up-last-one-down round, and something special for the kiddies. The club will provide napkins, plates, plastic-wear and drinks. The food assignments are as follows; according to your last name. A-G = Main Dish F-M = Vegetable Dish N-R = Salad Dish S-Z = Desert Dish My first one was last year and I was amazed at how good of a time I had. Please come, you'll be glad you did. I hope to see everyone there. Until then, have a safe and happy holiday season. Happy Landings, Moose. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] It's time to read
Now and again a thread pops up here about great aviation books. Just finished one that deserves mention. It hearkens back to the time before GPS and radar when cables were the connection between the controls and the control surfaces. The Long Way Home describes the journey of a Boeing Clipper seaplane trapped at Auckland on Dec 7, 1947. PanAm ordered the crew to get the plane to New York but they had to go the long way to avoid the Japanese. Spielberg could make a great movie based on this book. It's a good read.

Re: [RCSE] Four flight modes for Stylus
I would recommend the use of Alternate program. Thus you should be able to get 5 different differentials, (leaving landing mode the same between the two).

RE: [RCSE] Four flight modes for Stylus
Thank You Steve I'll give it a try. I wanted to avoid using the alternate if all possible.

[RCSE] Tank Bearing Supplier?
A number of years ago our club assembled a bunch of turnarounds from some plans that a club member developed. They are excellent turnarounds. I am looking at assembling a few more, but the supplier that we used (Hobby Specialties Division Florissant, MO) does not appear to be around anymore. The part was described as Stainless Steel Tank Bearing. Does anyone know where you could get such a part these days? Thanks - Jim Jim Monaco Rocky Mountain Soaring Association Denver, CO

Re: [RCSE] Contest Participation
Hey, I'm a firm believer in joining the AMA. I pay my AMA dues 2 years at a time. When I made the reference to clubs, I did not mean formally sanctioned clubs. I was trying to give the poster some contest options. Of course, AMA clubs would need to ensure that everyone flying at their field is an AMA member, to the best of their ability. And yes, I am quite concerned that an accident could occur at a flying field. My hope for the folks that I have met that are yet to join the academy is that their renters or homeowners insurance would cover them. I always do my best to present the academy in a positive light and encourage them to join. I'd also feel the same concern about insurance if rather than flying gliders around the sky we were playing a game of softball. But since I fly at public parks, I'm in no position to force anyone to join anything. Ryan --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Larry Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You have one mistake. If you are flying at a AMA club site/field. You are required to have AMA. That is part of the charter for that site. You don't have to get a sanction to have a contest. That just protects the contest from another club having the exact same contest on the same day in the same area. You can fly on someone else property if you have permission to do so. They assume you have some kind of insurance to pay for damages that can happen. Like hitting someone, putting their eye out, smashing out a window of a house or car. Running into the power lines and taking out the power. Crashing and having the batteries pop out and short and cause a fire in the field,crops,forest,roof. I can go on about it. You know. Its a nice feeling to know that the guys your flying with, care's enough about your well being by doing something simple as getting a AMA card.

Keep in mind that there is nothing stopping you from having informal or unsanctioned contests. Clubs have them all the time. There is a club in my state that has a contest each month. No entry fee, but there is also no prizes. Critical mass is starting to build in my area, and I'm hoping to have a few of these informal contests next year. Most of the new pilots that I am meeting are of a similar mind set as you when it comes to the AMA membership. I'd still like to encourage some friendly contests, however. You should contact the LSF president about finding if LSF really requires AMA membership. I would think that the LSF is an international organization, and I'd expect the international participants may not be AMA members. If AMA membership is required, I'd bet it stems from the fact that the LSF receives a lot of support from the AMA. The two organizations combine forces to hold the soaring nationals, for example. I know Jack reads this list, so I'm sure he will jump in here with a clarification. Many clubs really have to work hard to acquire a field. In many cases, this involves petitioning local government organizations or corporations. Quite similar to proposing a business case. If the question of liability arises, and it often does, the AMA insurance is a quick solution. That's why many clubs insist upon AMA membership and sanctioning contests. They are just trying to ensure their own continued existence. I admit, when I first started flying RC as a college freshman, I did not have AMA membership. I now realize it is a nominal fee towards assuring that the hobby of model airplanes will survive for years to come. The insurance thing is a nice peace of mind, but the AMA has done many things that you benefit from that you are probably not aware of, such as working with the FCC many years ago to assure that we have frequencies. Without some amount of lobbying our frequencies could easily be overtaken by cellular phones and pagers. Similarly, the AMA has other cool programs to support special interest groups and junior members. The cost of the AMA membership/nationals entry for juniors is literally only a handful of dollars. I'm happy to see my membership fee go towards these programs, even if I do not benefit directly. Aeromodeling can be an expensive hobby. For most, rather than jump in all at once they tend to purchase things a bit at a time. A better charger here, dedicated receivers for each plane, a workbench tool there, and I'd expect that somewhere along this
Re: [RCSE] fuse and core kits
Maybe try a 100 flying stab slope plane. There must be a fuse or two laying around you can use!! A set of RG-15's and you're set.

I'd like to build something a bit larger...~ 120 inch wing. Last year I did the same with a CR Renegade fuse and blue cores. The Renegade is a great 60 unit- especially with flaps!
