RE: [RCSE] 2 meter r hurts.Dayton! - The winners?
The winner was a Columbus native, a double LSF-V - Don Harris. I think he said he's won more 2-meter contests than any other kind, a testament to his air reading. Planes were all over the place - a pair of Manti, a Super V, 2 Organics, a Seeker (in the top 3 , Bruce Herider's been en fuego lately). Fairly sure a Gnome took wood (Ken Davidson). 2 Ducks did well, and Barry Anderson's Monarch still flew well. I backed my car over a Spirit Elite, repeatedly. Anyone know what Don's plane is called? I think it's a hybrid, for lack of a nicer word. PS - first Gordy exposure, he gave me some pretty good pointers on Saturday, probably earned me an extra 500 points. Something tells me he's a salesman. Thanks to all who came and flew, was a great 2 days. Brent RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Icons for sale
OK guys, what's going on. While I normally just read the list and occasionally post a for sale item I just have to comment on this strange phenomenon. My flying buddy Jim Porter has posted a couple of Icons, one RTF and the other NIB and nobody has snapped them up. We're talking about an F3J version with top quality digital JR gear built by arguably the best craftsman I have ever seen. No glued in servos here, everything on mounts. It's balanced and test flown only and is perfect. Oh, and by the way, you could have it next week, no wait! Did I mention a basically free Bag Lady bag in the deal.

[RCSE] Landing Ellipse 4 problem solved
I received several suggestions on how to better land my Ellipse 4. I considered them all. My CG is as far back as I care to fly. I now use 75 degrees down flap with about 40 degrees down aileron with appropriate elevator compensation mixed in to achieve a slightly down attitude. At about 30 seconds to go SLOWLEY set full down deflection of flap/aileron. Just fly it slightly nose down through the down leg and final turn and final leg to the landing target. No sudden changes. Use only slight changes in flap to hit the target. Problems occurred when I gave it sudden flap changes. So, manage speed and height with practice, not by changing flap/aileron settings. There's is that P word again. No, not Perkins, PRACTICE.Thanks to all who gave me suggestions. PS. I don't need those Transmitter suggestions for my 8103. Problem solved.

[RCSE] XP4 Polar Data and Calculation
Measurements and analysis of flight performance of an XP4 and have been uploaded as a summary Adobe document to the files section of the SALGlider group: Flight Data folder, XP4 Polar Comparison.PDF file. I'll try and flesh out some more details in a few days and post a more comprehensive report as my last column for RCSD next month. In the measurements reported, the sink rate and flight speed for a nominally configured XP4 were determined using the Eagle Tree data recorder reviewed recently in RCSD. This data consitutes the overall 'polar' performance of the aircraft (plot of sink rate vs airspeed) at nominal trim. In most cases, we look at airfoil data and assume the aircraft reflects that behavior. However, planform, wing loading, parasitic drag and other contributions significantly changes the overall result. Blaine Beron-Rowdon carried out similar measurements many years ago with a cadre of folks from SFVSF and PSS. I am not aware of other determinations on R/C sailplanes since that time. Having finally had a calm morning here in Oklahoma, I believe the data are of good quality and are representative of the performance of an XP4. A satisfying aspect of the reported information is the agreement between the measured data and the calculations reported in RCSD over the last several years. No attempt was made to'fit' the theory to the measured results. The nominal XP4 configuration was plugged into the program, X-Foil results for the AG455CT were used for the airfoil input, and the resulting theory was graphed along with the the data. No modifications to either result were made. As weather permits, more data will be added for the RSCD report. At the end of the flight session, a final evaluation was made using a 'thermal' mode flap setting. Only a slight increase in sink rate was noted but a significant reduction in flight speed was obtained. Flap deployment in this case is ~ 3mm with slight elevator compensation. - Dave R RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] Icons for sale
Mark, I'd agree with your point of view, but as stated earlier, there is over a years wait. As a matter of fact, I got on the list 2 years ago and my name came up when I went to CA to help my dad last November. I asked to be 'set back' 10 spots so I would be home again, better to handle my finances when I was at the top of the list again. My 2 planes and a center section should ship this week, 23 months after I asked to be put on the list. I believe the point made is there are people on the waiting list that could use one or both of these planes and save months to years waiting for a plane. Yes they are high $ but I've personally never flown any other plane that was better at its chosen task. Sure, better flyers can beat me with quote unquote inferior planes, but the Icon is just that, an ICON in the soaring world. If I had enough to buy one of Jim's new ones I would, but my $ is tied up in the two I ordered. Besides, they have awesome special color schemes I designed. That's the only reason I'm selling my used ones, as there is nothing wrong with them at all. I just get to fly one's with color schemes that I like better than RMC's PowerCats adorned wings. Randy, try the USC Trojans emblem next time! ;-) So, if someone is looking for a used Icon at sub $2K prices, let me know. As always, we appreciate everyone's input in these discussions. gv -Original Message- From: Marc Gellart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 11, 2005 1:51 PM To: EXT-McCleave, Howard R; soaring@airage.com Subject: Re: [RCSE] Icons for sale Randy, As we all know, the Icon is a superior ship with great workmanship courtesy of Don Peters, this no one would deny is a good deal.

That part worked, I zoomed well beyond all, and headed out distracted, so never noticed that I flew through hundreds of thermals. After 6 rounds of 10minutes each, I had amassed a total time of about 6 minutes (the total air time out of all 6 rounds) while everyone else seemed to get their times. First round they had rigged a tree line to extend upward so that I would get stuck behind, off field in some beans! These guys are devious. That put a bunch of poke holes in my Organic's Ultracoat and put a wrinkle in the new fuse's tailboom. Then they had trimmed bushes up wind so that I had tremendous turbulence in the landing zone, which caused a flip over landing. All in all a pretty fun day, and seriously one of the most challenging flying sites I have ever flown and easily some of the best thumb wiggling soaring I have been privileged to witness.

[RCSE] Landing setup for the Tempest
Just read the info on the E4 for landing and will try it this week (mine is working fairly well but not perfect). Does anyone have the same type of data on the Tempest? Flew a two day contest this weekend and the plane did great except for landing (tough landing field under any circumstance). I use a Profi 4000 so any kind of mix curve is possible, mine sucks. I did set up the throws the best I could to Marks numbers but the mixes are not detailed for curves (if I remember correctly) so it is the normal trim proceedures. Background is the plane coming home at high speed from up-on-high and is fine, slowy deploy flaps to whoa-it-up and then come to downwind, as the speed drops so does the nose. Elev. commands become very sensitive as the plane slows and it seems very difficult to find a steady glide path. I feel the plane will do it well but my settings must be off enough to make it difficult. Feels really pitch sensitive with the flaps at about 60-70 degrees and about 10 degrees up aileron. If I go to 90 degrees the plane almost stops flying and tip stalls with minor corrections in roll even with enough down mix to make the rudder non-functional. -- Yea: I know practice is king but I am looking to shortcut the process a tad.

I got tired of paying over $2 for 2 rare earth magnets at Rat Shack. I found a place where I could buy them much cheaper and the ones I have are better in 3 respects, first, they are chrome plated, and second, they are a little larger but the same thickness. And finally, they are only a quarter each. Size is 6mm dia. x 1.5mm thick, or roughly 1/4 dia x 1/16. I have them in sets of 40 for $10 which includes shipping. I've sold over 1000 of them on the electric board of RCG and I thought the glider guys might want to hear about them too. They are great for holding on canopies, keeping tool box drawers closed, keeping hatches attached etc. They have tons of uses. Please send $10 via Paypal to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I will take a check but I prefer Paypal. gv RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] 2 meter r hurts...THE REST OF THE STORY
Here is the real story. Gordy was kind to me for not telling, but I was his timer for the day. I filled his head with useless information about wind shifting, dandelion fluff, milky clouds, flags that are not moving, cool breezes, warm air, birds eating bugs, and planes that are circling but not going up until Gordy was landing. You know, talk talk talk all the time he was trying to think. Boy, a lot of fun! But it swings both ways. After the 5th round burial that I dished out, I was up by 200 points. Till the last round. I let Gordy talk me into a flight corse right smack in the middle of a big sink hole. I got hosed and Gordy got even. I ended up in 4th. Oh well, a really fun time with Gordy and everyone else.

It was sooo obvious what was afootFirst they rig the winches to lull me into complacency by making sure that I out launced everyone in my rounds. That part worked, I zoomed well beyond all, and headed out distracted, so never noticed that I flew through hundreds of thermals. After 6 rounds of 10minutes each, I had amassed a total time of about 6 minutes (the total air time out of all 6 rounds) while everyone else seemed to get their times. First round they had rigged a tree line to extend upward so that I would get stuck behind, off field in some beans! These guys are devious. That put a bunch of poke holes in my Organic's Ultracoat and put a wrinkle in the new fuse's tailboom. Then they had trimmed bushes up wind so that I had tremendous turbulence in the landing zone, which caused a flip over landing.

Re: [RCSE] Icons for sale
I figured if Jim doesn't want them something must be wrong with them. Jim has perfect planes. I have even seen pictures of his shop, looks like a clean room at NASA. There are so many choices now.

[RCSE] Alternative to the Icon
I've nothing but the greatest respect for the Icon and the first time I saw one fly, it reminded me of the way the big Genie moves, grooves and handles. I can well afford a quiver of Icons, and although I enjoy this activity more than anything I can still do, I find nothing about it that justifies that kind of outlay, although I'm not questioning that the airframe is worth the money. Frankly, I'd rather give the money away to someone needy I'm interested in and just build another big Genie or now the Icon-sized Genie Pro for $300 or so. These are strong airframes that can provide an equally exciting level of performance. Building either one has been made easier with a composite fuse having become available. This adds about $100 to the total cost, but $400 is a real bargain for airframe with that level of capability. In the Genie pages at http://genie.rchomepage.com/ under the heading The Composite Fuselage Option, there is a pic of the Genie Pro with that fuselage. Sure, doing a bagged wing involves a learning curve, but follow instructions, do one and you'll know how. Between Phil's video on bagging and File 3 in the Genie pages the way is shown. In a couple of months, the building season will be on us again. It's a good time to look into what's involved in the Genie line and seriously consider doing one for a fall/winter project.
