[RCSE] I need a new Hi-Start
If I go to the field by myself, I need to buy a Hi-start. I want a quality hi-start that will launch an Atemis or NYX but will also launch a wood wing Bird of Time. I assume I just don't stretch the hi-start as far for a BOT. I need recomendations for a really quality hi-start that has all of the components. I don't want to shop for each component of the hi-start from different suppliers. Thanks in advance, Steve Gibson

[RCSE] JR Std Size Digital servos FS
Got these for a scale project that I built and sold , and the buyer didn't need them. These would be great for a scale sailplane: 2 JR DS8231 2 JR DS 811 Make an offer on them.

Re: [RCSE] Covering Question
Frank, I strongly suggest covering the wing all in white first, then adding the stripes. Be sure to make a pattern of the original wing decoration before removing the original covering, as that will save you a TON of work later cutting it out and placing it. If the decoration sticks to the white while trying to place it, use a little soapy water solution on the wing to slide the trim. Remove any visible bubbles with a soft sponge. To seal the trim down, use a lower heat setting on the iron, with a cotton baby sock over the foot of the iron. Hope this helps! Dave Darling -- Dial Broadband has arrived in California!

Re: [RCSE] Contests Format?
LOFT uses three skill levels Sportsman, Expert and Masters. You have to be subjective in placing flyers in there class. After a full season of contests we award trophies for each class and usually move some flyers up a notch. Of corse any one can chose the highest class if they want. Have fun with it.
