[RCSE] Crimping tool for servo plugs

Re: [RCSE] Crimping tool for servo plugs
Soldering and then crimping with needlenose pliers is getting a bit tiresome. Where can I find a tool that'll do this job? If you are using the connector kits sold by various vendors, you can buy the proper crimping tool at Radio Shack for much less than the connector vendors usually sell the same tool for. After that, its just a matter of crimping and assembling the connectors. Good luck with that.

Re: [RCSE] Crimping tool for servo plugs
I also had problems with the Radio Snack crimper not working properly. The jaws are different and made for different connectors. It's worth the investment to buy a proper set of crimpers if it will save one airplane from crashing due to a bad crimp. Personally I like to use the Molex locking connectors that actually have a tab you have to push to release the connectors. Unfortunately their crimper is $180! :( Happy flying, Jimmy www.jtmodels.com RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Crimping tool for servo plugs
If you look close, you will see that the pin and spring contact assemblies are slightly different between all the marques. Add to this that the aftermarket arena has their own suppliers and configurations and you start to understand that no single crimping tool will do all..more like do one type. At best what is offered by the aftermarket groups is adequate. Every single spring contact configuration will have it's proper crimping tool out there in the industry. Proper hand crimping tools are relatively expensive, too much for the average modeler ($100 to $1000). The electro-mechanical performance of crimping is superior to soldering IF the proper tool has been used AND it has been set up properly. If you buy the aftermarket assemblies, buy the tool they recommend. Substituting with something else is hit-and-miss, and could generate the same results of a failed solder joint.

Re: [RCSE] Crimping tool for servo plugs
You need the proper tools, like Simon sez. Once you know what the proper tool is, try EBAY. A buddy of mine is an avionics tech., he lent me his crimper for the Molex stuff. Whoa., sooo easy and reliable. A few days later he called to suggest I take a look at EBAY 'cause one of the crimpers was up there. Got it for 1/4 the normal price. Trick is to get the exact tool that you need. You'll never go back to solder and needle nose pliers once you've seen it done right.

RE: [RCSE] Why are so many guys unsubscribing?
Heck, you can do this with Outlook also, if that is the problem, I just created a set of rules for every thing with RCSE in the Header to file the undigested subscription to a folder. It is a lot easier to browse the headers this way than with the digest version or the scattered inbox approach. But that said, this exchange has really become more of a Gordys chat room of late. Not singling out him, but it seems that there is a small group of guys posting idle banter about non subjects. Pretty much the same few guys posting all the time. What with RC Groups and the scale soaring list plus many other specialized forums available, this one has in my opinion become a bit archaic in its list form only format.

[RCSE] AMA's position with regard to soaring
In the current issue of Model Aviation which I received today I found the Presidents Perspective page quite interesting. It makes it quite evident that there is a complete lack knowledge as to what we in the soaring community are all about. In his remarks he (Dave Brown) states that his recommendation to the FAA is that a minimum altitude restriction be set at 700' and preferably 1,000'. Probably just fine for the slime machines but a death blow to sailplanes. These restrictions while unenforceable, would in essence make the even average weekend flier a lawbreaker,not to mention the whole liability problem.

[RCSE] height limit for sailplanes! no way!
Height limits for sailplanes Ha.. Look at this glider http://marsairplane.larc.nasa.gov/reliability_2.html AMA and the government didn't stop these guys..

Wedworth ( AL )The Bag Lady Cell 530-228-9445Fax 530-343-1715
Re: [RCSE] height limit for sailplanes! no way!
Needless to say, that glider had clearance to go where it did under very controlled circumstances. The problem is that there are people flying in controlled airspace as high as 15,000 feet with no coordination. Of course, we can't get there with our thermal ships for obvious reasons but the AMA has seen the websites for the guys doing that kind of flying and it has them scared. The FAA advisory currently limits us to 400'. Is it enforced - no. Could it be - you bet. E-mail, call, or write your local AMA guru and (politely) state your case for higher altitudes. We're not the only ones this restriction will hurt. Ever seen a jet do a speed pass and then pull up to slow down? Takes much more than 1000'! As far as the government's performance is concerned - I think there's a different forum for that.. Happy flying, Jimmy www.jtmodels.com RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] AMA's position with regard to soaring
Probably what will happen is that R/C soaring and other high altitude sport/hobbies that use airspace (as in model rockets), will require special dates, venues, and windows of opportunity provided by special FAA waiver. Large model rocketry already is regulated by this process. It is only a matter of time before ALL aerosports requiring higher than normal altitudes are monitored and regulated by FAA waiver, if, that is, they exceed the limit set by the AMA FAA for unregulated club flying. So 700-1000 feet would actually be a godsend if and when the hammer falls. I foresee a time when virtually all organized R/C flying (other than the Parkflyer unregulated low power stuff) will take place on controlled sites governed by the AMA and its club infrastructure. Perhaps the idea of regional flying sites similar to Muncie, but put in locations where most of us actually live might bear some consideration. How we preserve our sport will require some insightful proactive thinking, and willingness to compromise. The notion that everything can stay the same as it was in the past is probably at best naïve.

You're probably thinking of the AMA rules. The FCC advisory in question says something different. Read it yourself at http://www.modelaircraft.org/PDF-files/540-C.pdf. The relevant section reads -- c. Do not fly model aircraft higher than 400 feet above the surface. When flying aircraft within 3 miles of an airport, notify the airport operator, or when an air traffic facility is located at the airport, notify the control tower, or flight service station. But yes, this is advisory, not law. 1. PURPOSE. This advisory circular outlines, and encourages voluntary compliance with, safety standards for model aircraft operators. It's also 24 years old. Not that this stuff has changed much (though the advistory does seem to assume that all model airplanes make lots of noise) but it shows how the FAA has pretty much left us alone. (As it should be.) But yes, I think it would be a very good thing to let Dave Brown know what you think of his proposed altitude limits.

This is a question to any contestants at the Nats. or attendee's I know the AMA's offical radio policy is, that no non factory post radio modifications are allowed. I know many modifications take place and seem to go un noticed ie. battery MAH's, Switch modifications, computer prom changes to add more model memory. But what I'm really interested in is the change you can really see and that is the deletion of the factory whip antenna and the replacement of the Rubber Duck type of antenna. Well back to the question, do any of you there see any ducky type antennas and AMA just turns a bind eye? Thanks for any info, Ron Widel RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Gordy's Chat room? A challenge to post something about rc soaring...
Justify that with something I posted that was not RC soaring related... I just got home to see the whining about the lack of rc soaring content on the RCSEall of you posting to the soaring exchange have had the opportunity to post something about your soaring projects, flights and fun, but instead you chose to post non soaring whining about no soaring content. Kind of shows that you may not actually be 'doing' anything rc soaring related worth talking about. :-) Not the same for me! I just walked in to see a huge box from Hitec packed with their new F5J molded EPP Easy Glider 2m's and the not so new but not yet tested in full house sailpanes, 8 channel DSP RX, and in my pocket is the latest Shadow RX's, substantial software changes, a couple of key component changes (small but important for big, multi servo plane use) and a couple of new features.what are they all? No idea, just got home so will take some time to report on them.. But apparently you guys don't want to know about any of the above, so may have to send it all directly to RCSD for publication. :-) Gordy Home from 6 days competing, soaring, and reporting rc soaring nats info at the Nationals...where were you and what has the soaring content of your posts been?...or have they all been off topic chat about posting comments?
[RCSE] green air
I've been a subscriber for years. Mostly I read the input, once in a while a question or comment. These last two years my work has kept me from flying a much as I'd like. My quarter scale 1-26 has seen almost 13 years of TD contests. The quarter scale Orlik 2 has seen nearly two hundred aerotows. On the building board now sits a 40% Orlik 2 fuselage, plans drawn over a year from photos and three views from John Serafin, who once owned and flew the Orlik. There is only one remaining full size Orlik left in the world. There are no factory plans of this gorgeous vintage Polish single seater, unlike many British and German sailplanes of the same era. This project in part is a way to remember the Orlik designer, Antonia Kocjan and the people who built 18 of these birds. Antonia was a leader in the Polish resistance in Warsaw in WW II. The other reason is that I love to glue wood together. All the people who contribute their soaring experience and expertise to the soaring exchange really inspire me.

[RCSE] Woody Roundup!!!
OK... I've been asked to host the Woody Roundup again. I can truly not come up with a reason not to... so, it's on! We have had it over Labor Day Weekend in the past, but I have a conflict this year. That being said, what's your pleasure... the weekend before, or the weekend after? Let's take a vote at the field on Saturday. If you can't be there... send me a private email and I'll count your vote. I need to get the sanction going so if I don't hear from you by Saturday, sin loi... (Vietnamese for, Sorry about that.) We will fly 2 days. The task will be 1 round of 10 minute duration; 1 round of 11 minute duration; 1 round of 12 minute duration; 1 round of 13 minute duration. All will have a landing option that will be a tie breaker ONLY. In other words, if more than one pilot has a perfect flight, only the one with the closest landing will receive landing points, up to 10. Only 1 pilot per round will be awarded landing points, and only if you have a perfect flight score. Ties other that perfect will stand as ties. If niether pilot scores a landing, the tie for the round will remain. In the VERY unlikely event of an overall tie, there will be a 7-minute flyoff with landing. Skegs/sharks teeth, etc. will be allowed. Wheels will not be allowed. Winch length will be wheeled and all winches will be 600'. If times are being made consistently, lines may be shortened for subsequent rounds. If you wish to bring a hi-start, the max stretched length of the hi-start will be the same as the winch length. Definition of a Woody: A model sailplane of wood construction, with open rib bays after the spar, with any material for spars and fuselage. No molded, foam, or composite parts may be used for the wing or empennage, except the spar and/or carbon capped ribs. For our purpose, the molded fin on a fiberglass fuselage is considered part of the fuselage. Any control configuration is allowed. This is NOT an RES contest. AVA lovers and Topaz whizkids, etc... don't fret we'll have a separate class for you, too... so bring 'em! We'll probably call it the LOW class, but, you never know, we may came up with a better name... You didn't think I'd leave you out, now did you? Yes, Bill Estill's bagged stuff falls in there, too. The CD - ME - will have final say as to aircraft class. I am committed to the contest, and I have set the task. I probably won't change it. The scoring will be a penny a point... oops... a point per second... yeah, that's it! We'll have it whether we sanction it or not. Entry fee is $5- per day. The club will keep half for it's trouble, and the other half will be split among the top 3 flyers on a sliding scale, of course. Y'all come back, now,... hear? Jack Womack __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [RCSE] Why are so many guys unsubscribing?
In my case I subscribe to the digest version of 10 or 12 lists. I don't read them on my employers time, I do it after work, at home. So when a particular group is just too inept, too dumb or too inconsiderate to simply highlight a small part of the text before hitting the reply or worse yet, the reply all key, all of us get pages and pages of repeated text. The argument that I should simply hit the delete key is a pretty P poor response. It's not about the delete key, it's about the time. Dumping the list might be an option but just occasionally, there is a jewel of an idea that would be a pity to miss. Lately, some of you have been resending the whole volume over and over for up to five repeats. Count the little chevrons in the right margin sometime to see how many times the same message has been resent. It gets a little tedious wading through all that just to discover they are discussing the effect of a fat gut on launch height or something equally esoteric. All in all this is probably just another waste of time and space. Those of us who are considerate enough not to do it know who we are and those who insist on doing it probably don't have a clue and never will. I would bet they are the same people who do not know what their turn signals are for or how to take your turn at a four-way stop sign or even figure out what a yield sign is for. Sigh!
