[RCSE] Dawn Flight video
Jim Deck In 1975, a short film, Dawn Flight, featuring great flying sequences of real sailplanes was nominated for an Oscar for best live action short film. With the advent of video tape, VHS version of this film became available. Only the price, $49.95, kept me from purchasing this 15 minute long film. I've been waiting for years for the price to drop without success. Has anyone got used copy they'll part with or, better yet, has anyone got a DVD copy? Me too! I would love a copy. It's a couple of 1-26's rat racing down some steep valleys. Great stuff but the $50 buck price for 15 minuets keep me from buying it years ago.

[RCSE] Connecticut sailplane flying is alive and well...
For the past two weekends in a row a rather informal group of fliers has gathered at a local field in Durham, CT. Last weekend we had 8 fliers, this weekend about 7 (some different faces). This is quite a resurgence in activity from three years ago when I started and I was lucky to find 2 other guys at the field on any day. The favorite flying around here is handlaunch, either discus or zip start. 1/2 of the guys have the high buck types (e.g. Taboo) with the other half having either built up Gamblers or homemade ships. This is quite a resurgence in unpowered flight. While there is an esailplane club nearby, for several years anyone in the local area wanting to fly without motors with more than one or two other guys, such as at a contest, would have to travel to Long Island, NY, up to the Charles River club in Massachusetts, or Maine. While there are no plans for any contests locally, and we will still travel to those locations to get our LSF vouchers points, it is quite nice to see so many thermal/sink indicators in the sky at once. It makes flying so much easier! So how is sailplane flying attendance in your neck of the woods? p.s. The glow fliers were outnumbered for these two weekends in a row. We even had interest from several of the free flight guys wanting to dust off their '76 polyhedrals, put in new radio gear and come flying again. Sweet!

Re: [RCSE] New post: hi starts
I've been there too Al! A bungee's life is kinda hard and they don't give too much warning before letting go. The last time I got hit, the clevis broke and left a sharp edge. That edge ripped my shirt and drew blood where it hit me in the gut. It's worse when a bungee is being used by slopers. They don't take very good care of the things and they tend to stretch the rubber way too much! Sadly you tend to stand right in the gun barrel while doing it! Guess the stories about slopers are true. They aren't too smart. You know Charlie MacMurry of the SF bay area at the time, now Sacramento, held the BASH record of being smacked the most by bungee's. He was hit by everybody's bungee. Bill Swingle Janesville, CA RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] New post: hi starts
A few years ago I built a Klingberg wing. Although I intended it for slope soaring, I chose to use my trusty upstart for the initial test flights. After a few hand tosses seemed to show that the CG and elevons were set up right I hooked the tow hook to the chute of the upstart and stretched it out. I guess I didn't quite have the tow hook in the right place because when I released the model it went up about fifteen feet then started a high speed and very tight flat spin still hooked onto the line. It went around about four rotations then released from the line shooting out in a 90 degree bank at surprisingly high speed flying parallel to the ground to the right. This did a real good simulation of a pucker-factor 9 situation for me and I was fortunate enough to make the right control inputs to save the model. When I landed, my son, who was the only one watching was in complete shock but soon broke into peels of laughter followed by the inevitible, Do that again! I adjusted the tow hook as far forward as the setup would allow, but this only delayed the onset of the condition to higher altitudes. The model would still spin then randomly squirt off the upstart in whatever direction would cause the most confusion and test my ability to recover. I took the thing home and created a more forward tow hook location, but didn't use it right away. The next day's flying session offered me a chance to show off my new trick to my friends who all immediately lined up to try it themselves. That model and the upstart gave us some real laughs and excitement. And amazingly enough, we never crashed it. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Flying Sunday at GDSHS
One week ago was our monthly club contest and I managed to break my AVA fuse on a trim flight with my DUMB thumbs and then found a broken left v-tail push rod in my Sharon Pro. Needless to say I scored nada for our April club contest. But I was ready for yesterday. I actually didn't get out to the field until around 3:00 pm and was told that I had missed all the good air. Okay, no big deal as I was planning on trimming out 3 sailplanes and the air was quiet, 0 to 5 max and partly sunny. First the Sharon Pro, an ex Tom Kiesling bird with a new Carbon push rod of course. First time with the JR 9303 TX so my set up was best guess. As usual the Sharon rotated quickly and climbed out without as much as a wimper. The zoom was as expected with 250# test braided line. Pretty soon we were at 1/2 launch altitude and I began to think about my crow setting and was about to test that when the signal with the tail up and a slight speed increase said not yet. I worked myself into the core of a small thermal and within 3 or 4 minutes I was speced out and had to return to the field. Now with over 10 minutes of flight time I finally tested the crow and got an 80 + landing. Sharon is ready for the season. Next was my E-4 with a new to me but slightly used fuse from Skip Miller. Actually near perfect condition, thank you very much Skip. Same routine, Great launch mit zooom and 3 to 4 minutes looking for that elusive bubble. Sure enough, in the same location the E-4 climbed out to spec in the sky. I brought it back, checked the crow, and landed with another 85 + landing. The third bird is a new Graphite 2 flown once just before winter and put away. Needless to say another spec job resulted, crow worked perfectly and was followed with another 80 + landing. These three birds are ready for the season, the question is, am I ? What a terrific day for flying. Regards, Dave Corven. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] trouble with balsa dust
As someone who has a touch of asthma to begin with, I take dust pretty seriously. Though I've not yet developed an allergy to it yet, any serious sanding session will find me with a ring around my nose and mouth when I'm done. BTW, it's not the charcoal canisters you need for balsa (though they won't hurt), its the HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filter you want. They usually double stack a chem absorber and the dust cartridge. Make sure the seal is pretty good by putting your hands over the ends to block the air and see if you can pull a reasonable vacuum inside. Tighten, adjust or replace if you can't get a good fit. Not all masks fit all people and they come in different sizes. Mine leaks a bit by my nose, so I have to adjust it a little lower than what the natural wear position would be (maybe it would be easier to get the nose adjusted - nah). Dust off in the workshop if you can. The dust settles pretty quick when using coarse paper, but don't be afraid to leave the mask on until the outer layer of clothing is off. Oh and vacuum the shop before starting the covering (I hated adding that part). Hopefully the eye exposure doesn't cause any problems. I don't know if this is as inevitable as the epoxy allergy, but others may still want to learn from it.

Re: [RCSE] Dawn Flight video
As Dawn Flight is still in print - and we wouldn't want to advocate piracy - I've emailed the distributors to see what number of orders they would need to justify a dvd transfer of dawn flight. If you read their order information http://www.pyramidmedia.com/about.html; it states that the list price - $49.95 in the case of dawn flight - is a license to perform which gives the purchaser non-theatrical performance rights. You need to contact them for a home use only pricing. I'll report back on their response. cheers Paul At 11:53 AM -0700 18/4/05, Quiet Man wrote: I only have a ratty old copy-of-a-copy, and would love a DVD as well, so CC me please...

Re: [RCSE] trouble with balsa dust
I use a Rainbow vacuum in my shop. the advantage of the rainbow is all the air and dust must go through a water bath for filtration before the air comes back out for you to breath. A regular shop vac and house vac uses a paper filter or baggless system for filtration so it lets allot of dust back out for you to breath. If you would like me to tell you more contact me offline and I will tell you more about how it works...it works because wet dust can't fly Clarence Ashcraft ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) President of IMSF - 2005 InterMountain Silent Flyers Home of Soar Utah If you would like to learn to fly R/C gliders and electrics, contact our club at: http://www.silentflyer.org - Original Message - From: Ed Berris [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: soaring@airage.com Sent: Sunday, April 17, 2005 4:24 PM Subject: [RCSE] trouble with balsa dust I realize this is not a medical forum, however, I suspect that others of you have had some experience with reactions to balsa dust. I seem to have developed quite a sensitivity to balsa dust. With just a small exposure it triggers asthma like symptoms including a nagging cough, wheezing, a tightness in my chest and sometime dizziness or severe cold like symptoms. I wonder if others have had a similar experience and what they are doing so that they can continue working with balsa without becoming ill. I know that a good quality dust mask will be a must. I have seldom worn on in the past but I can see that I will need to now. Miserable in Minnesota, Ed RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Hi-starts
I have been chuckling over the high start mishaps that have been posted after this thread was started. I think that I have seen similar events to many of those reported. I remember one contest where my flying buddy's beautiful 2M Sagitta was dragged to death after a high speed stall on launch. Pieces flew all over the place. If you have seen one of Carl Mohs' planes, you know what an excellent job he does on them. Yes, high starts are unforgiving! I can remember one of the (too many) instances where I launched only to find out the receiver wasn't turned on. On one occasion, my Sagitta 900 did that partial rainbow in the sky until it inexplicably came off of the tow ring on the downward leg. It gained speed in a dive, leveled off at treetop level and headed downwind towards the tree line behind us. There was an awful racket as the balsa and Monokote creation made its way throught the upper tree branches at high speed. It then exited on the other side of the trees...into a weed patch of briars, thistles, nettles, wild raspberries, and high grass. Four of us looked for about 15 minutes before Brian Andreas climbed a tree and looking down spotted it for me. It actually was resurrected and still flies in RES for me now. The one mishap that I haven't seen in this thread was the damage that can be done by stretched monofilament line. In the early days of F3J we were experimenting with light monofilament line (replacing our original braided nylon). In one instance I stretched the line in the usual way before raising the leg to signal release. Just then the line broke and I received a high speed facefull of monofilament and had stripes all over my face for some time. I wonder if those flying F3J have any monofilament stories to contribute.

[RCSE] Histart tales Lessons
I used to fly alone allot. One day, I was flying my now nostalgic Sundancer from a histart. Now, I had developed a rhythm of turn on transmitter, turn on receiver, pull back, hook up and launch. That day, I couldn't seem to get more than 5 minutes and wondered if the plane was out of trim. One one launch, I forget the turn on receiver step. The Sundancer tracked up pretty well and released. Upon iniiating the first turn, I discovered my mistake. The plane drifted off to the right and I thought it would land in the next field so I scaled a fence (I was younger then) and tried to keep it in sight - it had started to come down. Well, completely unaided by my pilot skills, it hooked a decent thermal and landed very safely in the side yard of a house about 3/4 mile down wind - total time for the flight was about 20 minutes. Lessons learned: - I now ALWAYS do a surface wiggle before I launch and ask flying buddies to do the same before they do. - I now ALWAYS look to see what I'm about to walk through as I got a terrible case of poison ivy that day. - Now, I don't always blame the trim as a properly trimmed plane flies well in spite of the well-meaning pilot.

[RCSE] Hi-starts
At a contest some 25 years ago a thunderstorm blew in which caused us suspend flying. After the storm passed and the skies cleared we decided to resume the contest. As one hi start was being stretched for a launch and a second had a bird on the way up there was a lightning strike in the woods about a 1000 feet away destroying a dead tree. The guy pulling the hi start back let go of it with a yell. He later said it was a shocking experience. The plane on the way up rolled over and crashed. When we examined the plane we found that the radio was dead. Opening the receiver case revealed a lot of fried components. Needless to say, the contest was called off.
