[RCSE] JR 8103 diode
Hypothetically speaking, suppose I^H someone accidently hooked up the battery in my^H^H an 8103 backwards and let the magic smoke out. Suppose the diode got burnt and needed to be replaced. What is the spec for the diode on the power board? -Ben RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Could you please ping me? Thanks, Bill -- In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice there is.

[RCSE] Soldering SS pushrod to carbon steel clevis rod
How does one do this? So far I have tried with no success... acid core solder alone acid core solder with liquid acid flux silver solder (4% silver, 96% tin) with the flux paste that came with it silver solder (5% silver and bronze, or so the guy said) with the above paste flux both the above silver solders with liquid acid flux I have tried fluxing and tinning the SS alone - no luck with any of it. I would definitely appreciate any help with this! Thanks. RVC RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] SuperStands, 'A Must Have' item for keeping moldiesnice
Title: Re: [RCSE] SuperStands, 'A Must Have' item for keeping I got mine at Vislia years ago and its still serving me! I saw the versions that Tom has and they are improved. The stand has less metal which makes it a lot lighter in the Sportube and probably draws less attention in the Xray check:-) It sounds like the guy who makes them, life is changing and he is bored with making them so you'd better hurry up and get one of group Tom got. Gordy Gordy, et al. The one you got was made by Fred Guilfoyle, after in 1999, I asked him to make some for us (see how small the world is?). Fred made a bunch, and when his job situation changed, stopped making them. Then, Paul Kmetko asked permission to develop them and have them produced, which we accepted happily. Paul has vastly improved on our original just-for-your-buddy design, and they are better than ever and will continue to be available, no worries...

Re: [RCSE] JR 8103 diode
Yea, I know about the fuse, but there is also a diode on the same module as the fuse. It's completely toast. Andrew E.

If it is part of the power circuitry, then it is very unlikely for it to be critical. Try a nice big 3 Amp diode, say something from the 1N5400 diode family (any one will do), or others. -- Andrew E.

Skip the drive to the Ratshack, wrap the blown fuse with a gum wrapper and pop it back in. :-) Bruce Davidson livin life on the edge in Louisville, KY RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Need AMA CD to help with records.
I've built a Solar powered RC plane. (See:) Airplane: http://www.rasdoc.com/splinter/DCP01224.JPG Launch: http://www.rasdoc.com/splinter/DCP01221.JPG Proof it stays up... http://www.rasdoc.com/splinter/ItFlies.JPG It was built with the express intent to set some FAI world records. I am specifically interested in setting the following three records: N186 Distance in a straight line. (Currently 48.21km or 29.94 mi) N187 Gain in Altitude. (Currently 2065M or 6773 ft ) N188Goal and Return. (Not yet Set) The aircraft I built is also capable of setting the following records for electric aircraft with a combination of sources of current. N193 Distance in a straight line. N194 Gain in altitude N195 Goal and Return (Not yet Set) I currently live in San Diego and I need help finding an AMA CD that would be willing to work with me in Southern CA, or in AZ? I would preferably like to contact someone that is familiar with he record setting process. I've read the FAI checklist and i have both my AMA and FAI sporting cards/licenses. The airframe is ready today for the distance records, and I'm planning on testing the telemetry and higher power HAM transmitter needed to set the altitude record this weekend. Any help or pointers you can provide would be very welcome. Paul RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Wil Byers??
Yeah, and speaking further of Wil, does anyone know where I go to order a recent set of Chris Williams' Minimoa plans? All this talk of scale at the Nats has reminded me how much I love this plane !!!

Re: [RCSE] Carbon Fuses and Antenna, important stuff
Hi Gordy, On my Pike Superior, I simply doubled the length of the antenna (to 2 meters, 1/2 wave instead of 1/4 wave as discussed on the Samba site), and let the excess (about 2 feet) hang out the rear of the fuse (what's inside the fuse is in a tube to prevent abrasion and possible shorting on any carbon slivers). With this configuration (I'm using the JR R-700 receiver), I'm getting in excess of 200 feet on my range check. YMMV. How do you like the Pike otherwise? Pretty sweet flyer, yes?

Re: [RCSE] Carbon Fuses and Antenna, important stuff
Some of the Czech guys advise that they extend the antenna and then run it up one side of the v-tail (up thru where the elevator hinge is).
