[RCSE] bash Sal

2005-04-27 Thread Brian Smith
I ordered a set of wings from Sal.. 2 days later they are on my
carport...That was really dumb..It shocked me so bad I could have had a
heart attack...As it was I nearly fell out of my chair. Could have broken my
arm or a couple ribs.. 2 weeks or 2 months maybe, but 2 Days? C'mon Sal take
it easy on us.  ;o)  My 2 cents about all that..Brian

[RCSE] Laser cut kit / Drela plans

2005-04-27 Thread Douglas, Brent
I'm trying to do the Allegra 2M ship, with ribs from LaserArts... First
of all, the ribs and shears are beautiful.  

That being said, I can't find plans that gibe with them.  They seem too
long, and laid across plans from Charles River's site, they would almost
span the trailing edge. 

Question is, if you've successfully done this (or the Bubble Dancer)
ship, what did you do?  My gut says to cut the ribs off a bit, notch the
TE, and press on while keeping the chord the same.  

Is there another, better way?  A different set of plans? 

Any ideas much appreciated,
Brent

[RCSE] 9303 Aux. Batt.

2005-04-27 Thread Dudley Dufort
Cross country and other long duration flying requires greater 
transmitter battery capacity than is available in the stock radio.  
George Steiner and I came up with a quick fix for those occasions when 
an additional battery is needed to buy more flight time.  I'll be happy 
to share our modification with those interested.  Reply off list.  Dudley

[RCSE] Hobby Horse purchase with a good experience

A week or so back I asked about the Hobby Horse. I didn't do a survey

I just bought an Evo 9 with scanner for $512.99 shipped from them. They

The ribs were intentionally made long so feel free to
cut them off. This goes for the Bubble Dancer parts
also.

[RCSE] NATS or OSHKOSH?

2005-04-27 Thread Keith
I was just about to mail my registration in for the NATS, but a buddy called 
me up to ask if I'd figured out where I was going to camp and what airplane 
I was flying into Oshkosh this summer...Ah, #%@*#!

H.Oshkosh or the NATS...
OSHKOSH BY GOSH!  For those of you less enlightened, I am referring to 
EAA Airventure 2005.  The biggest sport aviation fly-in/air show/party on 
the planet!

Although I'd hoped to be flying to Oshkosh in an RV-6, it's not going to 
happen in time so I guess I'll just have to go in a classic 1967 C-172 
square tail.

Have fun at the NATS.  Guess I'll go to Eagle Butte for soaring fix this 
summer.

RE: [RCSE] NATS or OSHKOSH?

2005-04-27 Thread Cameron
Hi Keith,

OSHKOSH -- I *AGREE*!!!  My partner and I just flew down to Sun 'n Fun at
Lakeland FL in our Piper Lance (e.g. pre-Saratoga).  We camped at Sun 'n Fun
-- we took out the back seats (2nd and 3rd row), put in some pillows,
mattress and a couple of sleeping bags.  In the evenings we either BBQ at
the plane with the other pilots or eat at the local Margeretaville
bar/cafeteria.  We had a GREAT time.

Also, pack in you HLG glider and impress the local/camping pilots!  This way
you can have your cake and eat it too!

Regards,

Cameron

Re: [RCSE] NATS or OSHKOSH?

2005-04-27 Thread Ben Diss
We haven't been to OSH in a few years.  In our younger years the misses 
and I always camped on row 20, runway side.  We'd get there four days 
early and stake out the spot, then head north for some northern 
Wisconsin vacationing before the show.  Best part of that spot was the 
wakeup call from a pair of Mustangs on take-off at 8:30A every morning.

The last year I was there was when the Corsairs wrecked.  Never seemed 
as much fun after that.

Subject: sailplanes


Hi Al,
I was looking in Yahoo soaring and saw your post. I have some planes 
I want to sell and thought you might know someone that is looking.

I have an Acacia f3j molded sailplane for sale. It crashed on one of 
its first 5 flights and dinged  all 3 wing panels. All of the damage 
is forward of the spar and has been repaired such that the plane can 
be and has been flown. I have launched it with my Real balls winch 
and flown it many times since repairing it. It seems structurally 
fine, aero good and cosmetically fair. It would make a good slope 
practice or sport plane. It makes a fast TD plane. It weighs 80 ozs 
RTF with a conservative cg. I will sell it for $340 with 6 HS 85 
servos , no rcvr. The price is $260 with no servos. Prices assume 
buyer pays shipping (~$20). This plane is should be a great slope 
practice/sport plane. A good fixer could make it like new.

I also have a 3m Addiction made by Fred Sage for sale. It has the 
7037 airfoil. The plane became a sort of backup as I fooled with an 
Aegea and Mantis with faster airfoils. I got it in 2002.  I will 
sell it RTF with a Hitec rcvr, 6 HS 85 servos, battery, switch. Just 
add your crystal and fly. It has had a good life, no crashes or 
other damage. I did remove the landing skeg on the nose cone as I 
don't fly contests. It weighs 58 ozs trimmed to fly.
$500 shipped in US . The plane  is in excellant condition. 

I can provide pictures if anyone is interested.
I am still into RC planes but have drifted into power planes. I got 
lonely flying sailplanes alone and found a power club nrear Corning. 
Now I am learning knife egdes, flat spins, hovering, etc.
