[RCSE] Re: harbor freight vaacum pump, any use?
The Harbor Freight store in town has a red, AC powered vacuum pump by Central Pneumatic on sale for ten bucks, marked down from 15. It's used to pull vacuum on air conditioning lines prior to adding refrigerant, ad copy only sez it will pull a full vacuum within 2 minutes. at 4.2CFM ... It seems very uncomplicated, no mention of a regulator or anything... is this of any practical use to me should I decide to get into bagging wings and stuff? If yes, I would probably just buy it now and store it until I got the urge to try and make bagged wings down the road, but is this type of unit really any use for our applications, esp. for a raw beginner at bagging? Or should i wait and maybe buy a complete package later if the mood strikes? Money is ALWAYS a factor... RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] copyright infringment
In lieu of all the relevant conversation about copyright infringement, here is a post I just ran across on a thread in RC Groups. This is the problem, this guy doesn't seem to have a clue or any qualms about ripping off a manufacturers design. Quote- Alpina sailplane What if someone here in the U.S. had the capability to manufacture Alpina kits and put them up for sale?

[RCSE] Jim Bacus named my new sailplane!
Storkenstein! And I like it...the name and the plane. Finished it up this morning and we had super weather today, more tomorrow. Its a Heinrich Stork 1, 7037, 133" with gorgeous curves and points. Sort of a conn tower type fuse from a Nuc sub. I got it and lopped off the V tail mount, welded on a Pike rear end, and adapted a set of NYX stabs to it. Took it out for its maiden flight today and wow! I am not used to that foil anymore! I find my self reflexing all the time cuz I run out of patience...it DOES float and turns on a dime. With it huge bolted on V tail, it weighed in about 80ozs...not bad for 133". Now it weighs in at 75oz cuz I was able to pull a bunch of lead outof the nose and got the balance point closer to 50% than 40. No snaps like it and other big vtail ships of its day would do in slow turns or on launch. Other than the verticle being Volz blue and the rest of the plane white with red bottoms, its hard to tell that I made the transplant. Even the NYX tips look like they belong on it. Monday I order my vinyl letters "Powered By Volz" and "Storkenstein" Thanks for the name Jim! Gordy

[RCSE] Re: Copying Designs/Plans
Hi Simon: I do not agree with most of your points and we can agree to disagree. I am in academia and we have a different view of plagerism. I can assure you that cheating in university classes is more rampant in the last twenty years than it was 20 years before that. I am certain that the very many CEO's who cheated stockholders learned that they could get away with it because other had a who cares attitude - not im my back yard. I can cite peer reviewed papers for you to read about increased cheating. To be sure, many modelers have agreed with me than the two who disagreed that cloning Don Clark's device in his day would not have be accepted as you so state. I am old fashioned and do believe in Gentleman's agreements. (Hell I taught in British style boarding schools with a handshake with the Headmaster for a contact for more than 30 years.) The devices today are not clones of Don's device! I really do not know what Don would have done/said and I am not sure anyone else does! We just live in different worlds. cheers, Jim On Fri, 04 Feb 2005 21:33:46 +, Simon Van Leeuwen wrote: Hi Jim, I respectfully suggest not confusing those who may copy existing designs by way of plans etc with the original intent of this thread. Granted, it may be considered incorrect or downright wrong by some, to copy or worse plagiarize anothers work. The issue of copyright (the validity of which is what we are discussing) is a far cry from corporations whose intent is to maximize continuing profits (in any way-shape-form) from those (us) who are making replicas in artform only. This is what makes this so disgusting...a miniature replica whose relation to the original product is through shape only and stays airborne using similar aerodynamic principles. The design and use criteria for the model and the fullsize version...are totally unrelated. To your point: Someone who copies a plan of mine or process and makes money, I guess I could be ticked if I elected to think the glass was half empty. I should have covered my butt and went through the motions to protect my designs...right? More likely I would be flattered. The fact is it is my choice not yours. The person who copies something like a model aircraft plan? Who is hurt by this? You? The originator? Neither. The market is not large enough, nor is it make or break for the originator whether he/she survives or slides into the ditch. Are the original designer's plans still available from him/her, then the copier is not going to do very well I would suggest. Is this right? Who are you or I to decide on the designer's behalf? If the originator did not like the fact his/her design was copied, they then can (and should) secure the right to act in such a manner to protect their work. This is not new, nor is the premise that today's society is somehow worse than yester-years. Modeler's pride? The very same thing has occured before you were born, in your day, and all days to come. The value of gentlemanly behavior is in the eyes of the beholder. Modern versions of the thermal sniffler are being produced. Is this wrong? Not-at-all. If the glass is half full, Don might have been motivated to introduce another version with more features if anoter version came out similar to his. Either way, it would have been his, and only his decision to criticize if he chose, not yours. Someone who makes money off of someone else's work, who cares but those who choose to buy or...not! Neither is right or wrong. Someone who take another's work and (publically) calls it their own, as in plagiarism, that is wrong. JIM EALY wrote: Colleagues: I have read this thread also with great interest. I was also surprised to read some of the unfair comments about the care and feeding of kit builders or those who support fair play. I've posted on several occasions a request to not buy plans from several EBAYERS who not only pirate MA, MAN, FM, RCM, Bob Holman, John Pond, etc but make multiple copies of plans and the mag article and sell mass copies on Ebay. If the lawyers/modelers want to help the hobby, why not turn your expertise to stopping plans and plans/patterns, short kit cloners. The present copyright law gives the copyright holder life +70 years for heirs to collect royalties. I was told under-no-uncertain terms by one of the respondents who has been rightfully criticized .that I should just be glad that the plans are available..and the cloner was doing me a BIG favor I also wrote earlier about modeler's pride, during the 60-80's no modeler would have considered, or remained a club member, cloning Don Clark's Thermal Sniffler. I am sad to see that this trust has not only disappeared, but the whole idea laughed at. IMHO and TIA for the bandwidth Jim On Fri, 04 Feb 2005 13:50:24 +, Brian Courtice wrote: Brian, Well said,

If it is the one I think it is is uses compressed air from you shop compressor for drive. It is a simple venturi. They work fine as long as your compressor is big enough. They also make a great backup in case your better vacuum pump breaks in the middle of a layup. michael -- Why build JUST a Web site... when you COULD build a Web BUSINESS? http://buildit.sitesell.com/webbible.html RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
