Nice...  Glad to see Bruce and Gordy are dishing out some good old Southern 
Hospitality.


The Heat and humidity is going to be tough.  Best to spend as much time as 
possible in it to get used to it.


Lots of water for towers and pilots alike.  And end of day be sure to fully 
hydrate with beer. :-)

Re: [RCSE] JrXP8103 Programming Question (Tow Release)

In response to my question regarding tow release programing,

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote


3. The three-position FLAP switch just to the left of the display, but again,
it's probably too useful to tie up as a tow release. (Of course this all
depends upon how your plane's configured, but you haven't mentioned anything
about that yet.)

   

As it happens, I use the spoiler for  trailing edge camber and butterfly 
switch for crow so, in fact, the three position FLAP switch is currently 
not in use.  How should I proceed to program it to operate the tow 
release on channel 8 (Aux 3) on my Jr XP8103?

[RCSE] Aerotow in Utah

2005-07-21 Thread c_j_miner
This morning Tauno Knuuttila and I (Curtis Miner) successfully 
aerotowed his 1/3 scale ASW-28 with my 1/3 scale Extra 330 L / DA-
100. Neither of us had any experience aerotowing but after reading 
all we could find on the web (thanks John Derstine and others) we 
felt we had enough information to try it.

Each of the five tows went perfectly. The models got so high that I 
eventually lost orientation and Tauno released. We had a great time 
and now we both have the aerotow bug!

Is there anyone else in central or northern Utah who has a scale 
glider and would like to try aerotow or who has a 50cc+ model and 
would like to tow? I have a 1-3.75 scale DG-600 I would like to have 
towed. If you are interested in participating or just watching, let 
one of us know.

Thanks,

Curtis Miner

that's one of the reasons I take so many pictures to bring back those

Yahoo... another aerotow cell in the U.S., two guys is all it takes to

It is a high with out compare if you enjoy actually flying for long

[RCSE] Good repair service for molded planes

2005-07-21 Thread Jim Laurel
Who does good quality repairs on molded planes?  I have a Pike that  
was damaged this past winter in an RX failure.  Fuse has a crack that  
should be easy to fix (fuse is still straight).  Center section is in  
pretty good shape, with only a 1 chunk in the LE.  The wingtips each  
have 3-4 chunks out of the LE.


The important thing is that the spar is intact in all cases.  I'd  
like to rehabilitate this plane for slope flying.

Hello all,

Just got off the phone with Daryl.  He is in Kansas somewhere resting, and 
re-fueling the Lancair for the remaining 3 hour flight into Muncie.


Man am I having withdrawals.  The trip out there with DP, and the new 
friends I made last year really left a lasting impression.  Wish I was 
coming out this year.


Sorry to have to miss it.

The F3B team is departing LA Tuesday at 7:00am for Lapeenranta, 
Finland.  On behalf of the entire team, I would like to extend a hardy 
thank you to all of you for your support of our efforts to bring world 
champ status back to the US.  I am getting excited now.  The Worlds, 
WOW.  I am looking forward to seeing friends that I met as helper on the 
2003 team in Germany.  So although I won't get my reunion with my NATS 
buddies, I do have a little reuniting in my future.


Have fun. Enjoy the NATS experience.  See you next year.

[RCSE] Eastern Iowa Soaring Society, web page and Fall Soar-In

2005-07-21 Thread Jim Porter
Hello All,

The Eastern Iowa Soaring Society has recently moved the web page to:
http://www.eiss.us

There are pages of and links to several articles and web sites about
building, flying and design you might find of interest.

The EISS Fall Soar-In, traditionally located at the Antique Airfield,
Blakesburg, Iowa, will be held 24  25 September this year.  In years past
this contest has attracted as many as sixty pilots and over 100 entries in
the various events.  This is a great location as you can spend a little time
in the hangers and museum of the Antique Aircraft Association and enjoy the
quiet of a rural Iowa location.  The contest is traditionally low key with
the emphasis on fun.  Follow the link on the first page for complete
details.

regards,

Jim Porter

Re: [RCSE] JrXP8103 Programming Question (Tow Release)

2005-07-21 Thread miamimike
David Nasatir [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 

As it happens, I use the spoiler for trailing edge camber and butterfly 
switch for crow so, in fact, the three position FLAP switch is currently 
not in use.  How should I proceed to program it to operate the tow 
release on channel 8 (Aux 3) on my Jr XP8103?

I should have asked which of the programmable mixes you were already using. I
was able to achieve what you want by using PROG.Mix4 and PROG.Mix5, but I'm
sure it could be done with two of the other mixes instead if necessary.
Hopefully you're not already using those two mixes.

The reason it's necessary to use two mixes is that PROG.Mix4 is used to
cancel the effect of the BTFY (butterfly) switch on AUX3, while PROG.Mix5 is
used to assign control of AUX3 to FLP-D (the flap switch down). You could
alternately assign the function to FLP-U instead if you like, but I'll show
FLP-D in my example.

The PROG.Mix4 screen looks like this:

-

[PROG.Mix4]
AUX3 - AUX3

   Rate: -100%
 -100%
   SW:  ON
   Offset
 -171

-

The PROG.Mix5 screen looks like this:

-

[PROG.Mix5]
AUX3 - AUX3

   Rate: -100%
 -100%
   SW:  FLP-DOFF (OFF appears only when the flap switch is not down.) 
   Offset
 +171

-

To achieve this, start by programming PROG.Mix5. If you do PROG.Mix 4 first,
it may interfere with the setting of the two rates in PROG.Mix5.

1. Hit DN and SELECT together to bring up [FUNC.LIST] and then use UP or DN
to get to PROG.Mix4. Hit UP and DN together to select that mode and make sure
it says INH. If not, hit CLEAR to disable it for now.

2 Hit UP, or repeat step #1, to advance to PROG.Mix5.

3. Use the DATA and CH buttons to set AUX3 on both the left and right sides.
You should see AUX3 - AUX3.

4. Make sure the SW: function says ON for now. If it doesn't, use the
SELECT button to jump down to SW: and then use the DATA buttons to change it
to ON. You'll be changing it to FLP-D shortly, but you'll need it set to
ON in order to adjust both of the rates.

5. Use the SELECT button to select Rate.

6. Since you haven't disabled the BTFY switch yet, you can use it to select
between the two rates. Select each one and then use the DATA buttons to set
it to -100%.

7. Use the SELECT button to select Offset.

8. If you have the BTFY switch down and hit CLEAR, Offset should assume the
value -171. If the BTFY switch is up and you hit CLEAR, it should assume the
value +171. Use the latter method to set it to +171. (Note: I don't know for
sure that your radio will adjust to exactly +/- 171, but it should at least
be close to those values. It shouldn't matter what the exact values turns out
to be.)

9. Finally, use the SELECT button to go back to SW: and then use the DATA
buttons to set it to FLP-D (or to FLP-U if you prefer.)  

10. Now program PROG.Mix4. To do this, follow all of the steps above except
leave SW: set to ON, and set Offset to -171 as described in step #8.

11. Select MONIT from the [FUNC.LIST] screen and check to see that everything
works as intended. Be sure the BTFY switch has no effect on AUX3 under any
circumstances. If you need to reverse the way your release servo works, go to
REV.SW and use the CH and DATA buttons to reverse channel 8.

That's it! Post here on the list again if you have any problems or questions,
and of course anyone else here is very welcome to add their comments,
suggestions, or corrections.

Re: [RCSE] DVD Trailer - One Six Right - The Romance of Flying

2005-07-21 Thread dcopley
I fly for a living and I've been into MSP, DFW, ATL, also flew into Midway. We
are based at Addison Texas (KADS), the third or fourth busiest GA airport (USA).
Of the 300+ (before gong into VNY) different types and sizes of airports, Van
Nuys was the only airport I can think of where the Captain and I watch the
traffic take off and land for about 15 minutes before we ever got inside of the
FBO to place a fuel order. Maybe the President of Zimbabwe (Global Express. with
all the security) or watching the Goodyear blimp do a touch-n-go (yep a blimp!
=:-)), and a P51 taking off at the same time had something to do with it. It 
felt
like an air show...it was just amazing the variety of air traffic.

If you like airplanes, this will probably be a great film to see.

[RCSE] JoJo Burned us today at the Nats Really Warm Up In Louisville

2005-07-21 Thread GordySoar



We flew 20 rounds of 5mins with a 100 inch per point tape.

It was sooo hot that our chargers nearly started a wing bag on fire, and 
the winch lines were smoking in the air.

At the end of the day, JoJo was 8 points off perfect and I was a miserable 
15 points due to a last landing in which a airliner cause a reflection flast 
that happened to hit me right in the eyes (shouldn't have popped my sunglasses 
off for the landing!) and caused me to land long.

The guy is short but tough. I filled him with so many BBQ ribs (beef and 
pork) and sauce that his eyes were floating, but it didn't help. 
A little known fact that Norway's average temp during the entire year 
is about 90 F with tons of humidity, and all day long while I was sweating 
buckets he was cool asa fozen turtle and kept humming the lyrics of 'born 
and bred in a briar patch'...but of course no one could understand cuz of it 
being in Norwegian and sounded a lot like dropping a marble in a urninal.

A vicious competitor he is not above gamesmanship, he kept trying to call 
me over into lift but he never fooled me so I spent most of my time in my usual 
spot commonly known by the locals as the sink hole.

Take off tomorrow is estimated at about 11am.

See you DLG guys at the field.DP too :-)
