[RCSE] Re: First Sailplane
My first sailplane was a 2 m polyhedral floater called an EyeSoar. Of course, by the time it completed its first 'obligatory' hand toss it looked like one. The nose immediately got shorter by about a quarter-inch after a newbie zoom and stall (no one to help me). But it eventually flew great until it met an untimely death in a moving truck.

[RCSE] Sell or trade 3.5 oz. CF cloth.
Guys, I find the 3.5 oz. unidirectional CF cloth with glass cross weave I got from Phil Barnes too light for my purposes. It is very nice stuff and yielded a really smooth finish on one bagged wing. I got 10 linear yards from Phil for $92 with shipping which is a very good buy. 7 yards are left. Yours for $65 including shipping. I need 10 yards or so of 4.5 to 4.7 ounce unidirectional CF with glass cross threads. Would buy outright or go for a trade of the 3.5 oz. plus cash.

RE: [RCSE] flying on 72 in germany ?
The best advice is perhaps to obey the regulations present in the country you are visiting. Fly with established pilots who know the area. We would expect visitors to this country to use our frequencies. That said, We had some issues regarding this when we ran the Elmira aerotows and entertained guest pilots from Germany and Switzerland. We offered free support for JR flyers compliments of Horizon hobbies with modules and crystal sets, we strongly suggested multiplex owners invest in appropriate sets before coming over here. Most pilots complied, but a few refused to give up what they considered their safe 35 Mhrz equipment. They came armed with scanners and we agreed to let them fly since they had traveled so far. There were two crashes involving these pilots one year. Now we do not know what caused the crashes but we had our suspicions. After that no more nice guys, we insisted on compliance in following years. When visiting Germany in 1998, I found certain pilots residing there flying what they called Schwartz frequencies or black channels. These were techies who used some secret military (I think) frequencies to avoid being shot down at various slopes where there were several launch areas and virtually no frequency control. Not sure what the moral of this story is, but play it safe, use what is legal where you travel. Fly only where you are sure it is safe, follow local advice, or carry a scanner.

Re: [RCSE] flying on 72 in germany ?

Three of us all bought blue box Hobby Lobby radios on 72 Mhz, and had no problems until we entered a contest where a scanner was in use. When it was our turn to fly, panic set in as the CD couldn't locate our signal! We had to confess and were allowed to compete, but were informed that the band was used by the Poleizi (police). Flew with the radios for awhile, until they all went south about the same time...(potential) problem solved.

Re: [RCSE] FAI Speed Record for sailplane
The main difference between the old 393Kph record and the new 239Kph is a course length change from 50 to 200 meters. Since the '99 Speed Trials I have been steadily working to set a new record. This endeavor took on a slightly different perspective when I was invited to participate as an industry advisor to 4th year mechanical engineering at U of Calgary, thanks to friend and fellow pilot Dave Horsley. Essentially I get to utilize the local universities resources and brain trust to analyze flight trajectory, airframe strength/materials, and timing system development. This is the 3rd year we have maintained this project, and the results have been fascinating to say the least: - Flight Trajectory Energy Model which incorporates modern aerodynamic principles and physics to analyze the critical descent/pull-out stage. This extremely powerful code looks at the vertical descent and rotation to level flight portions in great detail to understand what flight path will result in the least amount of energy loss. - Airframe development; What configuration will ascend quickly, descend as quickly as possible (reflex to zero lift and AoA), and negotiate the 200 meter course (minimizing rotational losses) AND stay in one piece to repeat within the hour in the opposite direction. This (probably final) year will be taking one-piece wings and subjecting them to load testing and frequency/excursion anomalies to explore: - Lay-ups and composite material application procedures utilizing Laser/Doppler velocity scanner - Non-human interventive timing systems that will meet the FAI's strict guidelines In turn I assist 4th mechanical engineering students understand better (and get a taste of) what will be demanded of them out in the real world of business. So far, everyone involved has benefited significantly. Most will realize that a powerless aircraft of proper proportions will fly significantly faster than any aircraft which utilizes a powerplant to create thrust, especially prop-driven aircraft. To date I have aircraft that exceed 230-240Kph over the 200 meter course consistently, and one off course pass in excess of 420Kph. On the preferred descent path the aircraft will employ LE strobes to adequately (barely) negotiate the first stages of the vertical descent. Few have had the luxury of hearing a sailplane at really high speed, let alone when one fails mechanically. Both are exhilarating...

Re: [RCSE] flying on 72 in germany ?
What I'm not trying to do - tell anyone what to do. What is bothering me about an underlying attitude that seems to exist - You really can't know who is actully on that channel. And that channel belongs to that person, he expects it to work, and he might depend on it to work. He may have also paid decent amounts of money to get licensed on that channel. And because your scanner didn't hear any signal, that means there's nobody using that frequency? We know that's not true. All I'm advocating is that we respect other people channels just as we expect ours to be. Nobody in particular's comment made me say this, it's just how I'd feel if I were that other guy. Like someone said, we would expect vistors to our country to use our frequencies. -Charles On Mon, 6 Dec 2004, Daniel Juhlin wrote: I was stationed at Ramstein AB, Germany in the 70s, and at the time I believe everyone was flying on 27Mhz..

Though we never had an interference problems, at least on our end, those were low-tech times, and a lot less potential for conflict. I wouldn't attempt to do it now.

It's one of the things we're supposed to do in full scale sailpanes. Very, very cool. Thanks!

Re: [RCSE] Optima Battery Charging
podrieger wrote: What is the best way to charge an Optima battery? The usual 12/2 amp lead acid charger, a battery tender at 750 miliamps, a Schulze 6- 330d, or some specific charger? Thanks for the replies. I use a 70/12/2 Amp automatic charger with deep-cycle mode. I try not to let the battery go below 12 Volts before charging, so I only get about 50% capacity, but batteries last longer. My Optima Yellow Top then sucks back about 9 Amps, and is ready to go again in a few hours. I use a small charger (1.5 Amp to 14.4 Volts) that floats at 13.2 Volts to maintain the charge over longer periods (like winter). You _MUST_ have a charger that never exceeds the max voltage rating of the Optima (15.1 Volts) or it can vent and then it is trash. Many chargers will do this, so do some research before buying. -- Andrew E. Mileski RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] More CA foam ideas
Alternatively, is there anyone who would be willing to just ship some foam scraps to this rather talented kid? 12yo, almost completely self taught, just finished his first original scratch built DLG design, framed in balsa. Not perfect, but it flies pretty well. Also just built his own foam cutter and needs to figure out how to use it.

Re: [RCSE] NATS Entry
Just read through the entry pack, which mentions J instead of B for the F3 thing on the special noticies page. It says 4 entries per freq which is consistant with F3J but the front entry page says one per freq. as in F3B. Also it would appear we can send entry forms imediately as there is nothing indicating a start date for entries. Looks like Lonnie still has some work to do so patience is required.

Re: [RCSE] California Foam -Home Depot?
Can anyone tell me what foams are available at the Home Depot's (or equiv. stores) in your state? I don't know about Northern California but here in LoCal the only foam you can get is thin, 1 or so. I've seen white and blue. (We just don't get the winters, you see -- no need for massive layers of insulation.) I'd be interested in hearing about foam sources, I'd like to get some to start cutting. Its probably available from builder's merchants, suppliers to the trade, rather than the big-box home stores. Martin Usher RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
