RE: [RCSE] how to disolve goop ?

RE: [RCSE] how to disolve goop ?
I have been successful in using Spider Wire or dental floss to saw out an old servo. Usually there is enough room to guide the line under the corner of the servo and then just work the line back and forth. The leftover adhesive/goop can then be scraped out.

RE: [RCSE] F3J in the Rockies Results (Revised)
Due to an unfortunate sorting problem, probably induced by adding a column in the scoresheet to add in the preliminary scores, the actual order of the standings was incorrect at the pilot's meeting. While the scores were correct, they were in the wrong order in the final sheet resulting in the incorrect awarding of the Trophys. The Pilots have been contacted and the process is underway to get the appropriate awards to the winners. Sorry for the mistake.

The good news is that there was only one other plane totaled (Rich O'Connell on launch) and a couple of planes with minor damage. While the air was challenging on Sat, today brought overcast skies, cool (55 degree) temps and much more difficult air. The blood was flowing in nearly every round. Rich Burnoski flew a great final day and improved his standing from 7th to second. Skip Miller continued to dominate with his excellent flights in horrid conditions. While only Skip, Rich and Lenny Keer managed to make it through the finals without one zero round, Skip was clearly the master, with only one minor hit and 3 1000 rounds! Attrition was severe as participants dropped out of the finals for various reasons. Lots of zero rounds were recorded as the lift carried everyone wy downwind - and with terrible sink on the way back. While there were a lot OUT landings, there were no damaged planes.

RE: [RCSE] JR Aerotow
Hot dogging is fine if... both pilots agree ahead of time to perform, and they are capable experienced pilots. The down side is, or may be, that there is a chance that you might intimidate or scare off a new guy to aerotow, who only walks up and see's a 46% Ultimate go vertical with a 2 meter in tow. Did it last year at JR myself. (By prior arrangement with the glider pilot) Incessant hot dogging for the sake of showing off adds little value to any event, and while I am guilty myself of once in a while having a little fun, the majority of scale flyers have no desire to risk their 3-5 k 1/3 scale planes doing stupid stuff, indeed a scale tow is a thing of beauty. I have come to believe we have to set an example for everyone and tow within the limits of the pilots abilities and the desires of the person being towed. Some vintage sailplanes won't tow at higher speeds and need sensible pilots to tow them. That said, at a busy event there is economy in steep tows, remembering that to go up steeply at full or high throttle decreases forward speed and converts speed into altitude. There is no doubt in my mind if full scale pilots could climb quickly and steeply, they would without hesitation, it is economy of time, fuel, and physical stress on airframes. Matching tow planes to gliders by size is not a bad idea either. Keep it safe.
