[RCSE] re: wtb HLG
Steve, Take a look at the Lil' Bird 2 that Ray Hayes sells at Skybench Aerotech. It's a well designed, all wood bird that uses laser cut materials. Can be fragile in beginner hands, but so can any wood HLG. Ray is a (the?) driving force behind wood crafted sailplanes.

Re: [RCSE] HLG Contest Format
We see a variety of models. Pilot skill seems to be key. Poly birds are preferred and the wood wing Monarchs are the class of the field. We publish the model type as well full results in the SLNT newsletter in PDF format at the following link: http://www.slnt.org/newsletters/newletter.htm Tim - Original Message - From: regis [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2004 9:05 AM Subject: Re: [RCSE] HLG Contest Format Sounds like fun!

Re: [RCSE] Hi-start rubber for Hand launch Gliders
Where can I get replacement rubber for a Hi-start for hand launch gliders? Dream Catcher is sold out. I haven't stocked HLG sized rubber for a couple of years because nobody ordered it. When I had 3 50's left, I made an announcement that I wasn't going to carry it and sold the 3, but since DLG there hasn't been any demand and the newer HLG's are strong enough to launch on 2m rubber. If a few people want HLG rubber, I will make a special order. The 2m rubber has about 6lbs pull at 300%, the HLG rubber is about 3lbs.

[RCSE] What do you use as a building table?
I'm looking to invest in a new building table, but am curious where to go to get a decent one. Many of the standard tables I see are only 30 deep. Perhaps two of those together is good? Anyway, any ideas or suggestions you have would be great. - Dave attachment: winmail.dat
Re: [RCSE] What do you use as a building table?
A solid 80X 24 door from Home Depot If they straight on the rack they will stay that way support them evenly at three points so won't develop a bow with the time They come with different width , but I found out the narrower table comes more practical then wider one You can always add another half... on the hinge Zbigniew Michalczyk The Soaring Little Fleet of Poland http://mysite.verizon.net/vze2qbfc/ - Original Message - From: Dave Brombaugh [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, November 07, 2004 1:39 PM Subject: [RCSE] What do you use as a building table?

Re: [RCSE] What do you use as a building table?
Solid core dor. Several sizes are available. I have one that's built on legs and topped with glass for straight and square construction and a short one that goes in the center of the room on a folding table for setup and maintenance. -Ben Dave Brombaugh wrote: I'm looking to invest in a new building table, but am curious where to go to get a decent one.

Re: [RCSE] What do you use as a building table?
If you have the room and man power the best thing to build on is pool table slate. There are times you can find an old pool table cut the edges down to the slate, remove the feltand you won't have a straighter building table. I had a fireplace mantle that was made out of stone that I gave a friend and that was very straight as well. --Glenn W.Tri-Cities, Wa Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo! Front Page. www.yahoo.com

Re: [RCSE] What do you use as a building table?
Dave, We use a 34x78 steel table with a linoleum type top surface which we picked up second hand from an insurance office. Steel legs and steel I-beams hold the surface flat and twist-free once you get the table set up properly on your floor. Several pieces of 2x4 under the legs raise the table to a comfortable building height - we have ours set at 35, about the height of kitchen counters. A couple of plastic six-socket strip electrical outlets are held in place below the work surface by self-threading screws which go into the table side beams after pilot holes are drilled. These screws lock into the keyholes in the back of the strip. A large piece of glass (sliding door) was placed on the table surface so that any remaining small undulations disappear. It exactly fits the table width, but extends over one end about three inches. We backed the table end away from the wall and then mounted a wall hanging bookcase slightly above the surface. We can use the whole table, and the bookcase not only holds items we frequently use but also protects the overhanging glass. We use a large piece of ceiling tile as a building surface for laying out the lower surface of the wing skeleton directly over plans. We then remove the ceiling tile and lock up the D-tube, spar caps, etc., using the glass surface to hold everything in perfect alignment. The 34 width has been wide enough for all of our aircraft, even the big XC Blackbird. We don't walk around it much, but it's set up so we can easily do so. Steel tables come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Ours has a single shallow drawer in one side, but we've seen them with double drawers on one side, drawers on both sides (partners' desk layout), and of course teachers' desks with the large drawers in pedestals on each side of a center opening. Older teachers' desks have a spring-loaded platform which was to be used for a typewriter, but a drill press or small table saw could be a logical replacement. The deeper file size drawers can be used for smaller tools like Dremels, heat guns, etc. The shallow drawers hold screw driver sets, cutting blades and other small tools. There are a wide variety of sectioned plastic drawer organizers available through kitchen shops and generic hardware stores. Measure the desk drawers and then pick and choose from what's available - a good fit is nearly always possible. There are a number of used office furniture outlets in the Seattle area and the surrounding areas. If you know what you want, you can call around and compare prices. Another consideration is lighting. We use incandescent and halogen, but stay away from fluorescent. We've been told by a number of woodworkers and millworkers that fluorescent lights can be downright dangerous when working around any tool that rotates. We also find that fluorescent light is tiring to work under. In addition to track lighting above the work surface, we have two detail lamps on hinged arms which we can use to direct light onto specific areas, as when working on servos or establishing a tight glue joint. Hope this helps! I'm looking to invest in a new building table, but am curious where to go to get a decent one. Many of the standard tables I see are only 30 deep. Perhaps two of those together is good?
