[RCSE] Switch
<> Been using a Deans 2-pin for this function in DLG for some time. Color code one side of the housing so you don't get the polarity wrong. Takes a female (battery) and two males (to Rx and from charger). Did this with a normal 3-pin Futaba connector and it failed after about 6 months - not enough wiper force on the pins. Advantage - light weight, reliable, simple, easy (if you've got canopy or nose cone access). The wipers on the Deans have very good contact - much better than Futaba or JR types. Disadvantage - could wear out (as Chuck noted), could plug in backwards. Been doing this for about 4 years and never had one fail. However, they are checked frequently for continuity and fraying. - Dave R RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] Virus
Finding who the actual sender of virus code requires a series of tracing steps. The first step is to examine the sending computer, and work backwards. We, in this field, have done this many times. Unfortunately, the infected computer is usually held by an innocent victim. I had one case, for example, where we served search warrants on a home and seized the sending computer. Once we had the sending computer the real suspect, in another county, was traced and arrested. Unfortunately, the owner of the sending computer was detained at gunpoint, his door was kicked in, and he learned a terrible lesson. As an Internet Computer user you must have up-to-date anti-virus software and a firewall system. The user has to be aware of folders and files that are on the user's PC. Turn off your PC or at least physically disconnect from the Internet when your computer session if over. This user did not have any online protection. He sure does now, and literally was quoted as saying later: "Don't use the internet without anti-virus and firewall protection." With the war on terrorism, you don't want a terrorist using your PC remotely, committing acts of war that will bring law enforcement and/or the military to your door to seize your PC. It is a documented fact that terrorists, as well as hackers, use the Internet, and they love remote control access to your PC to avoid a direct trace to them. Remote control access starts with sneaking a virus onto your PC. Kirk Stockham, R/C Pilot Computer Forensics Investigator/Instructor Stockham Computer Forensics and Investigations P.O.

Re: [RCSE] A dog that loves watching HLG
our border collie goes up to the neighbors 20 acre mowed field with my husband whenever he is testing out a new plane. she enjoys every aspect of watching the hi-start launch, the umbrella coming down, doesn't try to grab it, as my lab would she just watches the whole process and as the glider moves around the sky, she takes it as her job to watch every move it makes as it may mean "harm" to her master. those of you old enough to remember "Lassie" this dog acts a bit like that cool. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 11, 2004 8:57 AM Subject: [RCSE] A dog that loves watching HLG Today I went to the local (mainly power) club's field to fly DLG. There is a nice field of mowed hay on the other side of the parking area from the power field. There were two guys evidently intending to fly power but mostly talking. As I pulled in and got out of my car the dog of one of the guys, a big, dark brown mutt of uncertain breed but of nasty _expression_ and temper (the dog, not the guy), ran toward me barking and growling. I ignored him and went over to talk with the guys and the dog's owner told the dog to behave. It quieted down a bit but kept eyeing me with suspicion. After the usual pleasantries I got out my plane and began to fly it at the mowed field. "Looks like discus throwing," the guy with the dog said. "You should try out for the Olympics." Right. As soon as I started to fly, the sun disappeared behind a large cloud. After flying for a while in lousy lift, thus getting a lot of launches in, I discovered that the dog, always disinterested in power planes according to his owner, was very interested in dlg flying. He would sit some yards away between the cars and watch me launch and fly. The reason I noticed this was because after a while when I would not relaunch right away he would start barking, and if I delayed too long, evidently by his standards, he would run over toward me barking insistently. Then when I would get ready to launch he would back off and sit on his haunches to enjoy (I guess) the launch and flight (and occasional hand catch, no doubt).

In due time the battery in the plane needed charging. I set it charging and went to talk with the guys. The dog came along to insist that I get back to flying the plane. He barked at me and looked toward the plane, then at me, then ran toward the plane as if to tell me I should get back to the business of entertaining him. His owner was amazed. Unlike this dog, other dogs that show up where I usually fly near my house in town want to chase and try to catch my hlg. I've had planes suffer bite marks.

Steve -- it is likely not your machine which is sending the emails out. It usually is another virus-infected machine which has your email address in an address book and is using that in the "From" field, pretending to be from you. Viruses these days are sneaky, that way. The virus emails are actually being sent from IP Address 67.123.228.73, which happens to be controlled by Pac Bell in the Los Angeles area. To others on the Soaring Exchange list: 1) Don't bother to inform the "sender" of the emails that they have a virus -- it is almost always the case that they are an innocent 3rd-party who just happens to have their address handy in some address book on the actual virus-infected machine. 2) Another one of you likely *is* the one who is infected, as the email is being sent to RCSE and has Steve's address. If you live in the L.A. area and get your internet services from Pac Bell, double-check your computer for viruses. -- Tim Olson RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Spoilerons for roll control
> BTW - this does have some RCSE relevance, > if anyone builds sailplanes using spoilerons for roll control. Yes. I pondered long and hard about trying (prototypical) spoilerons for roll control in my Walter Bub A-6 INTRUDER slope glider, and in the end decided to stick with the familiar. I built ailerons. Has anyone built and flown spoilerons for roll control in a glider? How did it work out? Good control? Limitations? Worth trying again?
[RCSE] Servo leads
http://www.dse.co.nz/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/4142966b0bde4eda2740c0a87f99074b /Product/View/W2240 Can one of the electronic gurus out there tell me if this wire would be OK to use to make servo extensions, my usual supplier is out of stock at the moment. As a related question, what is considered heavy duty when it comes to servo leads, some places I've surfed tonight call 22g heavy, some call 20g heavy. I can get the Hitec 22g stuff locally http://www.acehobby.co.nz/ossb2/root/OSSBEC2/showitem.asp?PID=116 , has anyone got any recommendations on it. This is for an F3B model with all digital servos.
