Re: [RCSE] SWC
I don't know how many entries they have but I know mine has been sent in a few weeks ago and I have not seen it on the list. But Bill you won't have to worry about me taking the win away from you. The main reason that we leave Utah is to go and defrost in pheonix. But if I get the sticks unfrozen on my radio you might have to place that irish curse on me so you can win that silly launch, fly and land contestSee You there Clarence Ashcraft Transmitter Impound 98,00,02,04 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Home of Soar Utah 2004 http://www.silentflyer.org/ - Original Message - From: Bill Malvey [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: soaring [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 20, 2004 11:41 PM Subject: [RCSE] SWC So far it looks like entries for the SWC in Phoenix (well OK, western Globe) are not all that robust yet. Which is good in my book. I want to thank all of you. PLEASE, if you are thinking about coming, DON'T. As it stands right now, if there are enough no-shows (say 18 to 25), I stand a pretty good chance of getting a top 10 finish!! Gas prices are pretty high, the weather in Phoenix can be touch and go in February (will it be 72 or 74 today??), and really, it's just another silly contest. I strongly urge ALL of you to stay home with your families. Enjoy some quality time. Bond with the kids. Mow the lawn. For me, the less the merrier to be sure!! For you spiteful ba$tards out there who will surely want to deprive me of my higher than deserved finish, you can go here to enter: http://www.public.asu.edu/~vansanfo/casl/swc.html Of course, I will place an old Irish curse upon you and your house for doing so. And will certainly NOT share any of my beer with you. But at least you cannot say I did not warn you!!! I mean it's just another one of those boring, Launch, Fly, Land things. How many of THOSE can you do before you fall into a coma?? Hoping not to see any of you soon. ~~~ Bill Malvey RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Dreamcatcher - rant - press delete now to skip....
You don't indicate your own dealings with Roy Simpson - mine have been minimal - and yes, he seemed a bit abrupt to me. I'm certain though, that you have had no dealings with Marc Gellart. Marc is not given to criticizing unfairly and has given more to the soaring community than most. Many on this list know him well as a fine guy, and good soaring buddy. Pretty harsh language aimed at a guy you know little or nothing about. Particularly when based on your objection to unfair criticism. Pause before you type. Barry I'm not sure that I understand your complaint and venting of your frustrations against Roy Simpson. It appears that your MO got lost or such. That certainly is not his fault. I find your comments of him disgusting and uncalled for and can assure you that I would not want to have any dealings with you after this sort of display. Ron
[RCSE] WTB 2M Fuse
Well, now, here's a bit of a weird request! I need half a fuse for a two meter. Anyone out there got a crashed/trashed cross tailed fuse with a full flying stab they would part with. I only need the back half so the nose and wing area can be shot. I want to graft a cross tail on a V tailed plane. A Laser 2 or equivalent with good flying surfaces would be perfect. Let me know if you have anything. I would consider something undamaged and more expensive but it seems kind of a shame to cut up a good fuse.

Re: [RCSE] Antenna Wire
No. The futaba service rep was quite specific in specifying the finest wire possible. We discussed using a single strand of music wire which he thought would be optimum. As I mentioned I have used such antennas for several years with excellent results. (that is my planes have not fallen from the sky due to antenna problems. When they did fall it was almost inevitably from pilot error) Robert Samuels..St. Louis From: Simon Van Leeuwen [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think what the Futaba service rep meant was to utilize lead material that has the highest strand count you can find. This, in an effort to increase mechanical integrity. I don't think he meant to say use the finest single strand wire... Robert Samuels wrote: I was told by Futaba service to use the finest (smallest diameter) wire possible. For several years I have successfully substituted very fine music wire in antennas. I purchased the wire in 36 in. lengths from my local hobby shop. I used the finest wire that would not flop around when extended from the rear of the plane.

[RCSE] Hoopes wiring harness, a satisfied customer
I have been using Tom's wiring harness in my fleet of Opus's exclusively. I live in Hawaii and slope and Dynamic soar from wind blown in from the Pacific Ocean. This salty air corrodes all things metal at an alarming rate as shown by my rusty 1997 truck. I think I use Tom's harness's in extreme conditions and they have always been up to the task Pete Salomon RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Hoopes wiring harness, a satisfied customer, Ditto !!
Folks, I too am a very happy customer of many Years. As a side note, Tom has went out of way to promote the Nats Workers raffle, and has supported the LSF however he could. This man has done a bunch to promote the hobby, and I feel good about him and his products. I have seen the new system that Maple leaf is using, and yes it is neat. That in no way should detract from the work that Tom does, nor should it. Looks like you now have an option as to which system to buy, Personally, I will continue to support what I know..

[RCSE] I'm also in love with Tom Hoopes..
What more can be said, Hoopes connectors are made of metal and plastic and are soldered to wire with insulation on it. The harnesses come in plastic bags that are real clear. Included are some very detailed instructions, Tom is a neat packer of stuff. I was going to order an Icon till I heard the rumor that Hoopes connectors didn't seem to work very well in them, and no way would I fly a sailplane without Hoopes connectors! I use Hoopes connectors in all my Pikes, and well every other ship I have, short of foamies. They don't seem to work very well for me, cuz I keep on losing contests and it couldn't be my flying skills. I love you Tom Hoopes, now can I have your beer? Gordy Flew today in cloudy but warm Louisville...with Hoopes connectors.

I agree as well Jack, Hoopes Harnesses are a quality product. The only person who has shed doubt on this fact is Bill Malvey...

Re: [RCSE] Hoopes wiring harness
It's not meant to be funny, some poor guy advertises his moldie for sale and you imply that Hoope Harnesses are somehow no longer good enough. You made the implication. Your precise words were: Sounded pretty cool until I saw this: Hoopes wing connectors... You then quote me from another forum on an unrelated topic...why?

What you failed to include in your post above was the fact that I said that I have been using Hoopes connectors for years with great success. Further, I am fairly good friends with Tom and have nothing but the highest regard for him, his products, and his business ethnics. What else do I need to say to defend myself from your incorrect remark. I also suggest the we take this privately if you insist on continuing this subject. You clearly missed the point of my original post and also my follow up posts. ~~~ Bill Malvey RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Hoopes wiring harness
Actually, you made it a big deal, my words (remember?) were my harnesses are significantly different. I did not disparage Mr. Hoope's product. Out of respect and courtesy to Mr. Hoopes (and his product) I have elected to remain silent on this list (good business ethics) as to my involvement with any OEM's, and shall continue to do so. As I stated previously, the Hoopes harness is a great product, what more needs to be said? It's nice to know you and Tom are friends ;^) Bill Malvey wrote: Unrelated?/ You made a big deal that your connectors were a vast improvement over the Hoopes connectors and that they were being used in the Icon and Image. ...Further, I am fairly good friends with Tom and have nothing but the highest regard for him, his products, and his business ethnics.
