[RCSE] JR Aerotow

2005-06-06 Thread Peter
I hope every on made it home ok. The weather in the Chicago area was
severe mildly spoken. I stopped my van for a hour because of the wind,
hail and rain.
The last four days where throughly great. Thanks for the JR boys  and
Johnny Berlin to put on the best show possible. Rumor has it they burned
15 gal of fuel on Friday I hope the next year we will have
better conditions for the cross country flying. Lets do this again.
Two reporter from Japan where shooting pictures and film all four days.
A magazine and a DVD-magazine will be available from them...

Paul and Steve flying in with the Super Cub, and 50+ pilot's setting up
gliders is a great site. 

Skip Miller getting twenty-six miles on the cross country course loosing
the Nimbus4  out of site twice and getting it back in one pice..

Carolyn Goldsmith also going cross county  was outstanding, go girl...

Look up the spare parts.

331, 341, 341, s368 are all the same servo case.

321, 3025, 3021, 3121, S3421 are all the same case.

Then it seems to make sense to buy the case as a part from JR/Horizon  
and be done with it.

Re: [RCSE] WTB; old JR servo, 368 3421

2005-06-06 Thread mrmaserati
Another tidbit is the that the 368 gearset fits all the servos mentioned, 331, 
341 and 351.

Also interesting is that the 331 is powered by a 3 pole motor and output is 
42.2 oz in of torque as compared to the 31.9 oz in of torque delivered by the 5 
pole motor found in the 341 and 351 servos.

Combine the 331 with a 368 gear set provides a pretty darn good analog flap 
servo without having to go digital if you don't want to.

I have used this combination with good success.

Regards, Dave Corven.

[RCSE] OVSS #2-Bob Steele Memorial

2005-06-06 Thread Marc Gellart
The second stop of OVSS is coming this weekend in north Ft. Wayne at the Bob 
Steele Memorial.  The LOFT club is ready as is the goodies from the good folks 
at JR Radio, I know that John is coming Saturday, boo-hiss, I will be in WV on 
Saturday AM.  Go to the LOFT website, it is listed in the club links  at 
www.cincinnatisoaring.org and you can also go and look at the 2005 OVSS 
standings after the first contest.  We flew there this weekend and it was a 
real blow-out with winds 20-30mph for the unlimited part of the day. 

Look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday if all is well.

WOW.

Dudes, this was too cool.  Just got back from two solid days of 
flying.  I have a lot of photos and video, but I wanted to make a post 
this evening while I am fresh back from the event.


TK and I arrived Fri. afternoon driving in from Chicago and there were A 
LOT of people there.  I registered as pilot 50 at that time, and there 
were more after me.  Busy flight line was the first thing that struck me, 
two tugs working hard and a nice line of sailplanes queued up for a 
tow.  After registering and checking out the cool looking event T shirt 
and hat that was in the registration bag, I went on to socializing a bit 
in the pits.  But the constant series of tows was just enticing me to 
fly.  I built my DG 800s and walked it out to the flight line, Capn' Jack 
was all too eager to help me with another set of eyes.  I got an 
excellent tow, Peter Goldsmith towed me up with his cub and let him take 
me up to clouds.  I told him I was off, he replies... great Jim, I think 
my wings are freezing over  8-)  Needless to say I flew that flight for 
awhile!  8-)


I landed and Cliff Bryan was pulling his new ASH-26 out, so I followed 
him out to the flight line.  I ended up being his second set of eyes, and 
Cliff got that bad boy hooked up and skied out.  After flying around for 
a long period of time, he asked me if I wanted to try.  8-)   What a 
wonderful model, Cliff wasn't in a rush for it back, but he did check the 
battery levels twice while I was flying, so it must have been a pretty 
long flight.  Such a sweet model.


Skip Miller was just pounding the cross country course all day long, I 
think he went over 26 miles.


Then I wander back to the pits, see Capn' Jack over at the tents and he 
asks if I want to fly the Ventus 2AX.  By this time the air at about 
3:30-4pm is about the best its been all day, and I am like SURE!  I'LL 
FLY IT.   Jack let me fly it up the tug and I flew it for a long time, 40 
minutes or longer, and then the ultimate TX who-ore himself, McCarthy 
couldn't take it any longer so he took the sticks, and he flew it for 
another 40 mins.  Finally I pried his fingers from the pizza box and I 
got it back for some more, and then TK wandered by and he took it for a 
long flight, and then finally back to Jack, the last sailplane to land on 
Fri.  I forgot the final launch count for the day, but the tugs went 
through 10 gallons of gas.


Of course then all the electric fun fly stuff came out...  and then over 
to a BBQ at John Diniz house for excellent food, drink, electric heli 
flying in the driveway, and John did a small jam session in his basement 
later while McCarthy tried to finish building the scale model he didn't 
quite get flying earlier in the day. Just more fun!


Today was a windier, with more people in attendance, but less of the 
flying at anyone time.  Only one tug worked the flight line 
constantly.  I flew once in the morning when the wind was calmer, but 
decided to help work the flight line and snap pictures and video in 
between the chores.  Paul Siegel and Steve Siebenaler flew over from Ohio 
in Paul's Super Cub to check out the action and really put in a nice 
landing on the grass strip.  Flying continued non-stop all day 
long.  Later in the day there was a raffle for 1:1 scale glider rides, 
and although I didn't win one, I have never been up in a glider so I 
bought a ride.  What a HOOT!  So I got to sit in the front seat of 2-33, 
did an aerotow, and even got to fly it awhile.  Shot a lot of video up 
there, and got some of flying site from above, with little sailplanes and 
tugs flying beneath us.


Now that tops off a great couple of days!  8-)  Don't miss this event 
next year, apparently it has really grown, now in its 3rd year.  This is 
my first, and I really regret missing the first two.


Pix and video tomorrow.
