Re: [RCSE] Winch launching... thanks!
Title: Re: [RCSE] Winch launching... thanks! Hi Jeff, I am guessing that you followed the advice of Anker Berg-Sonne of CRRC. He wrote up his suggestions along with video images at: http://flyesl.com/News-y-Articles/featured_article.asp?FORUM_ID=7TOPIC_ID=112 Dick All the negative stuff that gets posted where (some deserved Roy!) I thought I post a positive I learned right here. To the person who posted a few weeks ago, or months, whatever, about changing to my left foot for the pedal since I launch right handed. THANK FRIGGIN YOU I think he was with the CRRC. For me winching launching was a frightening experience every single time. When launching with my right foot I'd stumble backwards or otherwise lose balance 50% of the time. I approached winching each time with trepidation. I switch to standing sideways with my left shoe on the pedal and tossing the plane almost over my head as it pulls. It works GREAT! Knock on wood, now launching is no big deal. I just have to work on throwing it straight ahead (I tend to toss it to the left - sometimes WAY to the left). Really I don't recall your name, but thanks. That article was a revelation and shows again, sometimes the net is worth is weight in gold. :) Best wishes, = --- Jeffrey D.

[RCSE] Wind comments
Once everyone has found the wind gauge...it's interesting to learn about ground effect. We had a cross country event out in Lancaster. The wind was blowing at a moderate clip. If you held the wind meter about 4' off the ground it was reading 8-10 mph. Joe W. then took the meter and put it up to about 10' off the ground. I think he tacked it to a pole or something, I can't quite remember. In any case, the meter now registered 15-18 mph. This made sense with what our planes were doing up in the air (read going backwards). This also shed light on hot landings with ballasted planes. You're driving into the wind about 50' off the ground, you bring the plane down to the deck and the speed goes up, much higher than anticipated. JE -- Erickson Architects John R.

Re: [RCSE] Wind comments
That is known in the soaring community as wind gradient. This can also cause a nice looking approach at what would appear to be the perfect airspeed, to end either short of target due to the airspeed suddenly dropping off, or worse, a stall close to the ground. Most of us notice this happening only after we touch down short of the spot. We can be heard mumbling something about using too darn much flap ;^) Mike At 09:04 AM 11/24/2004, John Erickson wrote: Once everyone has found the wind gauge...it's interesting to learn about ground effect.

[RCSE] Needed Plane
I am looking for a molded plane in So.Cal
[RCSE] Compulsion parts, Dodgson Design Maestro for sale
All, I have the following Compulsion parts for sale: Compulsion (1) painted fuselage with severe but I think repairable damage, rudder OK, nose cone has slight crack at open end, with one DS368, one DS341 servos, Hitec Superslim receiver, 1800 ma NIMH battery pack, installed, damaged occurred after getting caught in retriever line on launch (1) new fuselage, raw, no installation work done, un-painted, w/ rudder bellcrank, fuselage has two very minor dings in it..easily fixed. One is a penny sized compression ding in mid tail cone. The other is a small glass fracture on the fuse at the rear of the slip on nose cone, left side. (1) wing set, 7035 airfoil, one wing panel repaired after bad break, have flown since and wings still fly well, not sure if they will take a full winch launch, (4) DS368 servos installed, with wiring harness for receiver (my own design) (1) wing set, FS01 airfoil, right wing broken completely into two pieces at the flap/aileron joint, the left wing is almost undamaged except for a small crack at trailing edge flap/aileron joint, I believe very easily repaired, no servos, damaged occurred after getting caught in retriever line on launch (2) wing rods, std dihedral, the other is 7 degrees (1) horiz stabs set, surfaces in good shape, one stab has the carbon tube for the joiner rod damaged which I removed - needs some work I would like to sell everything in one batch. The servos, receiver, and battery pack go for about $400 new. Asking $400 for everything, ie plane parts are free or make me an offer. Buyer pays shipping. Will provide pictures of wings and fuselage, please e-mail. Dodgson Design Maestro I bought this already assembled a few years ago and never got around to installing the radio gear. Originally came with mechanical mixer though I removed that with the intent to install computer radio gear, flaps and ailerons are currently tied together. Not the best assembly I have seen, wings are covered with monocote but done in multiple colors. E-mail for pictures $100 or best offer, buyer pays for shipping Regards, Russ Light [EMAIL PROTECTED] (personal)
[RCSE] FS: Molded Psyko
For Sale: Molded Psyko, ready to fly, just add your receiver. Fitted with Volz servos throughout (Micro-Maxx in the fuse, Wing-Maxx in the wing), old style Airtronics plugs, 1400 mah battery pack, 5/8 round carbon rod, Hoopes wing connectors, McCann nose teeth. Has an extra bagged stab. White fuse/wingstab tops, red rudder, black wing bottom, blue stab bottom. When I bought the plane, it had a couple of minor leading edge delams. Both have been reparired, neither was a structural problem. A great flying plane, I just have a few too many moldies (yes, it is possible). I can supply a setup for either a Stylus or EVO-12 for this plane on request. $800 plus shipping from Sacramento, local pick up OK. Pictures available on request. Please contact me off line.

[RCSE] Wind Gauge - Useful or Not?
One of the guys in the club has had one of the little ball and tube units for some time. (The RS unit uses the same principal - it's simply differential pressure similar to a pitot tube.) When he's out there and we're about to get blown off the field, we check it just to see how manly (or stupid) we may have been to fly in that much wind. And of course, there's the problem that what you get on the surface isn't what happens at altitude. It is not unusual to have surface winds from one direction and stronger winds at a different velocity and quartering up at flying altitude. So a surface measurement may not be too applicable to what's happening where you're actually flying. That said, it's a potential tool to fill in the blanks a bit on an educated guess about what's happening. Below about 5mph, I don't think anyone cares too much about the wind. Above about 25mph, most folks pack it in and look for a slope - unless you're in the Midwest and then you throw in ballast and keep trying 'cause anything less than that is a pretty good day. So a usable range of 5mph to 30mph or so would seem to fit the bill. Extending that range to about 60mph would be really handy for sloping - or maybe for your kid to check how fast you're driving on the way to the field. The low price units claim a range of 5mph up to ~ 70mph so they're a decent match for what we might be doing. As to accuracy, unless you spend a whole bunch of money, I can't see anything better than a couple % is going to be available. The La Crosse unit claims +/- 0.3%. The PDF file on the RS unit doesn't seem to have an accuracy specification. However, wind gusts, surface turbulence, thermals blowing through, etc. will give a lot more scatter than just the accuracy of the gauge. The RS unit does not appear to do any interval averaging so the reading fluctuation may be significant. The La Crosse unit will have a little mechanical inertia from the anemometer. Bottom line - for 10 bucks I'd be happy to have one of these in the tool box. For 40, I'd probably opt for a down payment on a digital servo. An application for which I'm looking for one of these (and may have found one in Tulsa). Is for a HS science project. They've got a crude wind tunnel in the classroom and this would be an inexpensive instrument for them. It's used for demo purposes and not for hard data so what could be better than a $10 digital wind gauge for students to see that V^2 actually works? If there's a practical field use for all this, I'm sure Gordy's evaluation will find it. I'm looking forward to whatever review may come from that.

[RCSE] Wind Gauge
I saw the one at Radio Shack and someone posted a link to a wind surfing site that didn't give it rave reviews. If you really want one with accurate readings and a wide speed range, as well as other functions, try one of these http://www.nkhome.com/ I had one that worked flawlessly until the display went wonky. The factory is only 15 minutes from my house. I called and asked if I could return it, it was out of warranty.When I got there they had a replacement ready and even gave me a tour of the facility. My point being, you get what you pay for and this company definitely rates high on my scale. Terry

[RCSE] Wind Gauge
I use the Windtronic 2 shown in the link below. While it is more costly than some of those being discussed, I find it to be an excellent design, and has a quality look and feel. With the vertical axis rotating cups, it is independent of wind direction. On many others, the rotating impeller has a horizontal axis, making them very sensitive to orientation and changes in wind direction. Got mine through Glidetek, run by a fellow club member here in MN. http://www.glidetek.com/accessories/windspeedcomputer.asp The Windtronic reads in mph, knots, km/hr or meters/sec, and provides a readout of instantaneous speed, peak speed recorded, and average speed of the period that it is turned on. On a slope soaring trip to South Dakota in September, I recorded average speeds over several minutes in the 55 to 65 mph range at various times on the lip of the slope, and gusts of over 80 mph. (Sideways to the wind, feet spread. knees bent . . . .still get blown away in the gusts) The specs say it reads to 93 mph, so I doubt that you will run out of operating range. -Ben RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] High Aspect-RES
I'm looking for a good quality RES to fly next season. The High Aspect-RES from Art Hobby has caught my eye. Who out there owns one and what is your opinion of the plane? Does it stand up to a winch launch and does it thermal well? I've also been looking at the Hawk RES available at Janco Models. I know this is a pet plane of the Houston Hawks. So, what's the current opinion of the Hawk? Anyone want to recomment another good quality RES? I was considering the Legionair at one point, but it doesn't appear that the kit will ever become available. Then there's the AVA, but that's a little out of my price range.
