[RCSE] Icon and JR 10X Transmitter For Sale
Good condition custom painted Icon for sale. This was used mostly on the slope and has the usual little dings you get when landing on the slope. There are some repaired LE dents in the wing. The plane is white tops and red bottoms, with red splashes on the on the tops of the tips. This is your chance to own what is arguably the best designed, best flying sailplane around. The only reason I'm selling it is because after a year and a half wait, I'm at the top of the list to get a new one. While this plane shows signs of use, there are lots of thermals and lots of wins left in her. No radio is included. $1200. I will consider JR 368's as partial trade. New JR 10X transmitter for sale. This radio was purchased to fly my Tug and giant scale power stuff, but it looks like my 9303 will do what I need it to, so the X is for sale. $600 + shipping. This is for the transmitter only, no case, no module. Email me direct at [EMAIL PROTECTED] RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Hi Gordy, I'm flying an Eraser with Stylus. Like both. I'm still in the process of dialing in the Eraser, Stylus and myself.

Thank you for the correction. The Airtronics Retail Price List 2005 (REV2005001) has this servo listed as "NEW Mimcro Digital Servo High Spd High Tor" and I copied the description text from it.

Re: [RCSE] flap servos
Hi Walter. Put the best servos you can afford in your plane. Put the strongest servo on the elevator it is the most important... Digitals aren't all that good... I haven't noticed that my planes fly better with them installed. I just pulled out all digital wing servos in my 6 meter Ventus 2AX and reinstalled Airtronics 141 throughout.. I haven't burned out any of those servos yet... ( I won't go into my problems with digital servos ) Also put the biggest battery pack you can squeeze in the nose ( less nose weight ) Install the servos you like to use Everybody has there preference i.e...

Re: [RCSE] round wing servo mounts
I got them too. They are red http://mysite.verizon.net/vze2qbfc/id19.html Zbigniew Michalczyk The Soaring Little Fleet of Poland http://mysite.verizon.net/vze2qbfc/ Does anybody know of a source for these? I have a new plane which has round cutouts in the wing and I remember someone used to make a drop in servo mount which might fit these.

RE: [RCSE] PCM failsafe - which position?
I've been using PCM for years and here is how I set up my failsafe. Initial flights are done set to hold so I can dial in the landing mode. Once satisfied climb to a good altitude and pull the stick down to a position that puts the plane into a slow steady glide (no porpoise). Remember that stick position and land. Once on the ground set the stick to that position and set the failsafe. Launch again and test by turning off the tx and see what the plane does (remember to turn back on 8^). This also works if you have to land out behind some trees, just turn off the tx. Don't ask me how I know this works.

OK, those of you who fly PCM - what's your preference on fail safe settings (Hold Last Input, or Preset)? My inclination is to have everything return to neutral except maybe rudder to 1/8 - 1/4 throw or something. Don't want to ignite a debate on why PPM is better...presume the decision on whether to use PCM has been made. Tom RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Sopranos Come and Gone
Hi All, I got a shipment of Sopranos in on Friday and they are all spoken for. I have another order due to be shipped early May. If you want to get on the wait list let me know preferably at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have Trios in stock as well as a few electric front fuselages for the Soprano. Due in with the Sopranos in May is a prototype RES 2 meter called Duet. I am having one sent to test and see if there are needed changes. It will be pod and boom with the typical Ukranian built up wing and tail. Shoud be a cute little bugger. It will also be available in electric version. Also note that "by May" means it will be shipped to me in May. Last time it took almost two weeks for Customs processing and then the shipping label fell off and it was at my local DHL depot for almost a week until we found it. Sometimes it can take two weeks to get here, sometimes not. Cheers, Mark Miller Isthmus Models __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security.

[RCSE] Traveling with COROPLAST
Morning Mark Meck, Your coroplast storage/transport box sounds like something I need. Have you any images of this thing? I'm going to visit an ex-wife, on the left coast in Oregon country. I have a two children, a grand child, male and a great-great grand daughter out there. The ex lives on her farm. The farm raises sheep, goats and horses and transplants. There have to be large fields for grazing Maybe even slopes. Think I'll take two or three 2 Meters. Coroplast could make it so I get to fly that week. Your triangular shape wouldn't lend itself to stacking anywhere but on top. That could save my planes. Christopher, in Omaha
[RCSE] Coroplast storage boxes
I made these storage boxes a few years back and they are still like new and work great for storaging and transporting to and from flying. The Windsong box (red) took one whole sheet of coroplast to make, but there is a lot of room for the plane and wingrods. The Camano box (blue) took a little less to make but along the same plans just scaled it down to fit. The coroplast only cost about $8 for a 4 x 8 foot sheet. I found it at a local sign making shop. If anyone would like a copy of the plan sheet and some pic's please let me know. Mark RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
