Re: [RCSE] Re: Mirage
Dave, You remember the event correctly but not the pilot. That was none other than my old buddy Bob Gerbin. You may remember Bob for the picture in Model Builder with the double size scale and Windfree he built with it. Bob learned the tough way about keying a pre molded surface before bonding. That whole right wing just kind of peeled off and left those two spars sticking out in space I can still see that transparent yellow wing turning and twisting in that thermal as it disappeared over the hill at SULA. If I recall correctly that was the same contest that Terry Koplan asked for a reflight because the winch which had one of those resistors on the bottom, I think it was HiFlight, set the grass under it on fire during his launch. I remember flying Blaine's prototype down at the Blimp station. He told me to have fun with it, it will do 60 but 70 is probably to much. Kind of like walking your best friends girlfriend home, you definitely watch how far you push it. I flew a Mirage and found it a nice lightweight airplane. I used to latch the towhook on some light weight mono and walked backward letting the line off the reel while I flew it in figure 8's I had a good time sitting in the grass winding that Mirage up like they do with stunt kites now. It was and is a nice model. You guys flying the light weights might want to take up some tap dancing or blues tapping to get that rhythm down for winch pulsing. Happy Holidays Larry

[RCSE] How to obtain sectional drawings from a 3 view
Hi, guys. It just happens that I'm tempted to build a 1:9 A-6E Intruder as a PSS glider. I'm planning to use the lost foam technique, so I am starting from the 3 view of the relevant 'In Action' book. Unluckily this 3 view lacks almost totally of the necessary sectional drawings of the fuse. My request is: does perhaps exist a method/software/'anything on the web' to obtain such sections ? Any answer, both easy or complicated, is well accepted. TIA. Ciao from Italy. Tullio.

[RCSE] New to RC Flight - Seeking Recommendations for RTF/ARF
Greetings, Everyone, I am new to rc flying but remember well the enthusiasm that my father and brother had for the sport when I was a child. It must be in the genes because now I have the same enthusiasm, particularly for the new electric rc planes that are arriving on the scene. I am writing to seek advice on purchasing an electric RTF or easily-assembled ARF that I can fly outdoors in low-to-no wind situations. I live on a hill in a forest clearing about the size of a baseball field. I can launch from a place at the top of the driveway that is level with the tops of most of the trees - beyond these trees is a deep, open valley. I am looking for a very maneuverable, fun flying model that has the option for flying slow, though it would be great if it could fly rather fast as well. I recently purchased a Firebird Scout on the recommendation of someone but am not finding it as responsive as I would like, and it needs more room to maneuver than I have available. I am thinking of trying a micro flyer instead, such as the Mini-Stik, which I have read about through a review by Greg Covey. I would appreciate any recommendations you have for your favorite RTF's and readily assembled ARF's (micro or not), suitable for a fast-learning beginner who will be flying in an area that calls for a good deal of maneuverability.

The plane has a built in ballast tube and comes with a 17 ounce screw in ballast bar. It is the F3J version w/Kevlar/carbon D tube Kevlar/carbon fuse. The fuse has been modified with a skeg box in the nose that comes with two removable skegs.I'm selling it for only $1075. I'd prefer local sale(greater Los Angeles area), but if I must ship it, I will purchase a Sports Tube to ship it in and you're only shipping costs will be to return the tube to me.

[RCSE] Re: Mirage Correction
Well, memory serves but only partly. With input from a couple of guys who also witnessed this event at SULA (thank you all for the corrections and the memories), the Mirage with carbon spar caps was NOT Don Edberg's. Apologies to Don (who has written and flown great stuff over the years). I'll leave the corrected name out for reasons of liability! However, it was a pretty spectacular event! That said, the Mirage is one of the neater ideas that came along in that era. Blaine did a great job with the basic concept and added a number of innovative ideas to enhance the overall design. At the time (my opinion only) there were three developing approaches to thermal soaring. One of them was traditional - the Paragon, Oly IIs, Windrifter, etc ultimately leading up to the Sailaire. Big floaters with lots of area and high lift (Clark-Y ish) airfoils. The other was the concept Blaine was developing - light wing loading, not very high aspect ratio, and a lower camber section that could float and cruise nicely. The third was Hi Johnson's - very high aspect ratio and wing loading with high camber airfoils to carry the loads. All worked in their own way. Interesting to observe that all of these were displaced by composite ships a few years later. Technology does make a difference and can alter the landscape very quickly. Nice to see some of these designs coming back. They were neat ships that worked well. Apologies again to Don. But if you've gotta crash, please do it in a spectacular manner. I do my best sometimes but, other than looping my Albatross around the left wing on the power lines at Pasadena a long time back, nothing particularly memorable of late. Jeff N's 'extreme verticality' landing at the NATS a few years ago was certainly notable. Merry Christmas to all. - Dave R RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Got Blaster? Send fuse servo photo!
Hey Gordy and all. I finally got mine also, after lost planes, shipping damage, etcI finally gota plane in one piece, thanks Barry for all the follow up/etc, this was a rough one! I gooped my JR241s end to end in to the bottom of the "channel" in the fuse. I then put dots of epoxy/microballoons mix on either side of the servo to help stabilize it. They seem pretty solid. BTW, this is one really nice (and nice looking) molded DLG. I used heavier servos, 241s fuse/D60s wing, nothing special when building to keep weight down and it still came in @10.7. Using a little lighter servos in wing, say theD4.7s would have saved me 3/8oz bringing the plane down to the low 10 oz range- not bad for a molded DLG! Im just setting up my radio now cant wait to get it in the air. >From all reports, this plane, even the heavier 12 0z one is very competitive, cant wait to see how the lighter one compares with the XPs/etc. We have a pretty active DLG contingent here with several XP4s/Encores/Taboos/Photons, etc flying so we can get a good feel for how the Blaster will stack up.

[RCSE] Early Christmas Present---Help!
Dudes: My mother-in-law is going to be out of town for the holidays, so she stopped by tonight to give the family Christmas gifts. She gave me this electric model plane that I have not heard of before, and I hang out in a lot of hobby shops. It is sort of toy-like but maybe interesting. Made by Silverlit Industries. Called an X-Plane. All EPP, with a tractor prop mounted on the vertical stab. (!?) A 27 mhz TX, with 3 channels, sort of, elevator on the left stick, rudder on the right stick, throttle on a button somewhere, and a digital camera that tucks into a sort of bomb bay. OK, maybe its 4 channels, if you count the digital camera/bomb bay thingy. They got a website, Silverlit-flyingclub.com but it is written by somebody who learned English by reading the instructions to Korean built microwave ovens. And by this I mean no disrespect to either Koreans or microwave ovens. Anyway, do I take this thing out of the box and mess with it, or try to return it? Anybody tried to fly one of these things? HELP
Re: [RCSE] Re: Mirage Correction
Dave, I hate to admit it but I was around during the time of the Mirage. The single sided elevator and asymmetric vertical stabilizer planform really bothered me at the time. A real airplane needs to be symmetrical. So, I never was drawn to the design. The Blom and Voss designs from WWII really question this, but I still am a purist. In addition floaters only have a few days per year here in Texas where they really have an advantage and at the time the Mirage was a floater. The comment about Hi Johnson really hits home. His designs were more close to what I thought we needed here in the central US. My gray matter now fails me, but as I recall you have it right his designs were high AR, loading and camber. Even though I looked at them as a option, nobody I knew of built or flew one in our area before I took a hiatus from the hobby. About the same time Don Chancey was developing his Pantera design. This airplane used the new Eppler airfoils and the really new, for us here in the desolation of Texas, balsa over foam D tube construction. When I designed and built my own sailplane during that era that is the direction I went. By the way I am still flying that airplane, and it was at the last TNT and I am still very satisfied how the airplane performs if the pilot moves the sticks the right direction. No slam on the anti-composite crowd, but I think that construction technique was a milestone.

With input from a couple of guys who also witnessed this event at SULA (thank you all for the corrections and the memories), the Mirage with carbon spar caps was NOT Don Edberg's. Apologies to Don (who has written and flown great stuff over the years). I'll leave the corrected name out for reasons of liability! However, it was a pretty spectacular event! That said, the Mirage is one of the neater ideas that came along in that era. Blaine did a great job with the basic concept and added a number of innovative ideas to enhance the overall design. At the time (my opinion only) there were three developing approaches to thermal soaring. One of them was traditional - the Paragon, Oly IIs, Windrifter, etc ultimately leading up to the Sailaire. Big floaters with lots of area and high lift (Clark-Y ish) airfoils. The other was the concept Blaine was developing - light wing loading, not very high aspect ratio, and a lower camber section that could float and cruise nicely. The third was Hi Johnson's - very high aspect ratio and wing loading with high camber airfoils to carry the loads. All worked in their own way. Interesting to observe that all of these were displaced by composite ships a few years later. Technology does make a difference and can alter the landscape very quickly. Nice to see some of these designs coming back. They were neat ships that worked well. Apologies again to Don. But if you've gotta crash, please do it in a spectacular manner. I do my best sometimes but, other than looping my Albatross around the left wing on the power lines at Pasadena a long time back, nothing particularly memorable of late. Jeff N's 'extreme verticality' landing at the NATS a few years ago was certainly notable. Merry Christmas to all. - Dave R RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] Early Christmas Present---Help!
Wow, thats pretty cool! Find out where she picked it up! I would play with it Has a range of 800ftehmaybe throw some real RC stuff in there to have more funstill with the camera (even though its only 640x480) I would still give it a shot! Jared From: Tom H. Nagel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2004 9:25 PM To: RCSE Subject: [RCSE] Early Christmas Present---Help! Dudes: My mother-in-law is going to be out of town for the holidays, so she stopped by tonight to give the family Christmas gifts. She gave me this electric model plane that I have not heard of before, and I hang out in a lot of hobby shops. It is sort of toy-like but maybe interesting. Made by Silverlit Industries. Called an X-Plane. All EPP, with a tractor prop mounted on the vertical stab. (!?) A 27 mhz TX, with 3 channels, sort of, elevator on the left stick, rudder on the right stick, throttle on a button somewhere, and a digital camera that tucks into a sort of bomb bay. OK, maybe its 4 channels, if you count the digital camera/bomb bay thingy. They got a website, Silverlit-flyingclub.com but it is written by somebody who learned English by reading the instructions to Korean built microwave ovens. And by this I mean no disrespect to either Koreans or microwave ovens. Anyway, do I take this thing out of the box and mess with it, or try to return it? Anybody tried to fly one of these things?
