RE: [RCSE] Ventus 2AX..No, its not a woody, But...
Wait 'til you fly that scale bird!!! Sounds like your definitely gonna be getting wood at the Nat's this year. Enjoy Jack, John -Original Message- From: Jack Strother [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2004 2:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [RCSE] Ventus 2AX..No, its not a woody, But... Late Last Fall, John Derstine xmade a basic public information announcement (PIA) that he was gonna to be building an order for Lett Models around the Ventus 2 AX. A fully molded, 5 meter aero tow type aircraft, with a finished cockpit, retract and so forth.. Having Played last year at a couple of aero tow get togethers, and having promised my buds that I would consider a Big Scale Airplane, it seemed to me that the money that was being asked for this airplane, was to say the least a great value. I think it was 1299 plus shipping. The major motivation for this was, that I was Planning the Cross Country/ Scale Aero tow Event at the 2004 Nats this summer in Muncie. The idea for this style of event, was for a little cross breeding so to speak. I hear that the response thus far has been great by the way! Well, It arrived today ! There is very little wood in this molded beauty, the quality is about what you would expect from the Europeans , and appears to be very complete. I am not too worried about the wait time on this order; hell I have waited over a year for my last competition ship, and NO, it is not a woody either. I have a CD that came in the box, probably has the instructions on it.. a full sheet of really neat Decals, and what appears to be a complete as far as I can tell hardware package. This thing has spoilers, flaps, mid aileron, tip aileron, tow , gear, Elevator, and rudder...WOW !! It looks like the wing assembles just like the Full Scale version. Way Kool !! Check out Johns Web site http://www.scalesoaring.net/EMM/rand.htm to check this and other products ! For the first time, in a LONG while I have a non-competition airplane, that without the help of Viagria, Calsis, or a hand full of girly pictures, Well lets just say I got one !!!

[RCSE] Re: Soaring V1 #3288
There's a very easy way to solve this! When I used to race sailboats, during the fleet champs we had the same number of heats as there were skippers. Each heat the skippers.crew changed boats. In the end, every skipper/crew sailed every boat for 1 heat. On the flip side not all pilots trust their planes in the hands of other pilots...Just my 1 1/2 cents worth, keep the change. :) It doesn't take much math to rate plane and pilot separately in that case. Normalize weather by having each round flown at the same time (like HLG). Two prizes: one for best plane, one for best pilot. I'd guess that they'll go to the same guy a lot of the time, but I'd like to not have to guess. -J RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Winch Batteries
Tommy- My charger's clips used to heat up too. I removed the wire, cut it and back to get some nice clean material and soldered it on. Now they don't heat up at all. -Ben Tommy wrote: Back to winch batteries, I just bought a Maxx 29 marine deep cycle battery from Wal Mart. I hooked up a Sears 10 amp automatic charger about 45 minutes ago and it is still pumping at a 10 a/h rate. The clips are pretty warm to the touch. Is this normal for a first charge on this type of battery? Tommy Lamnek RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] Re: Soaring V1 #3288
I thought the airplane vs. pilot debate was settled years ago when Joe Wurts won the 2-Meter Class at Visalia two years in a row flying a foamie.

Re: [RCSE] Woodie-mouldie thang.....
Yes and probably more entertaining. This woodie/mouldie rant thing makes me think of what it would be like to put a Humidifier and a Dehumidifier in the same room and watch them fight.and it would be just as productive to boot.

Re: [RCSE] UPDATE!! CVRC RES Bent Wing Contest May 12
Great! I like it. Hey, I have an idea. What about an extra award for the highest scoring pilot/plane where the pilot actually built the plane flown in the contest. This would reward building without penalizing those who buy a plane and spend their time flying instead of building. Heck, all sailplanes are fun. michael AMA 77292 N6CHV Larry Taylor wrote: Hi RES Pilots!!! There has been a change on the RES Contest!!
