[RCSE] Good vendor alert
Steven Belknap Diversity Model Aircraft 858 693 8188 FlyDMA.com Ordering via the internet from my military station in Korea, my packages arrive a month late at times. My order of a NEU motor from Steven of Diversity Model Aircraft was shipped in the first days of August but I had no notice of its arrival as of 8th of September. I emailed Steven of this situation and asked if he could track it or took out insurance on the package. His reply was negative on the tracking but he was willing to send me another one at his cost if I did not get it in another 2 weeks. The story has a good ending in that today I found my box sitting in the mailroom ever since the 16th of August. Though I had the anguish of waiting over a month for my motor, I am glad that I found a model dealer with such a generous heart. Here ye! Here ye! Steven Belknap is a good guy! sam Hee-Choon Sam Lee Seoul, Korea Member of RCCAFE, AMA 817622 RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] OVSS #7-SOAR Fred Contest Sponsored by JR
The next stop for OVSS is Chicago and the annual Fred Contest, September 17 and 18. I am going to let CD Tom Kallevang tell you which sod farm location the contest is going to be at. I know it is NW of Plainfield but I want the SOAR guys to tell ya, not me. Remember, seeded MOM, long tasks, FAI tapes, and no skegs. I will finally get to fly this contest with no trade shows on the weekend, even though I will be in KCMO Friday evening finishing one, but I will make it. Remember JR goodies at the end of the weekend and those great JRDS 368 servos for each class winner for the weekend. Thank you JR, Peter, and John for their support of the OVSS. Marc Gellart OVSS standings are updated and can be seen at www.cincinnatisoaring.org and go to the OVSS Standings icon. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Cool Soaring Moment
Last Monday, was in central Ohio at a horse function. Got done and was headed back home, had just started out of a stop sign when in a final glance to my right I caught site of a full size bird that was pretty low. So in a quick move, pulled into a driveway and turned around and headed back down the road. When safe, got orientated and got site of the ship again. He was really low and almost immediately he finished his final attempt to thermal and headed into a very short run south and then a turn back north to set up for base and final to a wheat stubble field. Made a huge bank to line up on the field and disappaered below topography. There was also another ship above this guy, that as I got out of my car, this guy cranked up his motor and flew off to the east and onward to the Marion airport. The ship was a Discus, not sure which version, but it did have tip sails. When I got out to him the ship was in good shape and he was out and kind of trying to figure out where he was. I took him to my car and I helped him get his bearings and got him to a house so he could hopefully contact a land owner so he could get the trailer out to the ship. He was fairly far out in the field, and as I could not imagine, this guy did not have a cell phone along. I guess they got him out and all is well. The guy flying the motor glider was the gentleman's son, so I guess that he would be the one coming back to get him and knew where he was, I hope.

Re: [RCSE] Model finish
Dan, before you get too elaborate with the chemicals. In my aircraft detail business, I've used Rubbing Compound 7 mixed with wax (not the paste but liquid, Meguiars has a wax special formulated for oxidization and you problems sounds familiar) to get the surface clean on a aeronautical high gloss paint. This works well with high gloss white paint. In your case, I'd use more wax and less rubbing compound gradually increase it. Now this will only work if you sure the marks are not impregnated into the finish. If any of the above cleaning methods worked even a little, before my idea don't change cleaning methods but stay with it. What my method will do is act as a mild abrasive and the wax help with the minute scratches. If the only option you have left is to paint then you'll need to prepare the surface for paint anyway. Don't know if anyone mentioned using Brasso or other fine metal polish as I have used this on high gloss paint stains as well (example: rust drops, bird droppings). Later, Don On Wed Sep 7 20:00 , Dan Ahearn sent: Tried, toothpaste, thought you guys were pulling my leg but a few suggested it...it didn't work, niether did clorox cleanup, 409, goo gone and others. I'll go with the rubbing compound. Plan B will be a flying buddy with a serious paint booth, maybe we'll get creative :) On 9/7/05, David Portwood [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Try tooth paste David -Original Message- From: Dan Ahearn [EMAIL PROTECTED]','','','')[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2005 7:58 PM To: soaring@airage.com Subject: [RCSE] Model finish I guess it's like a new car before you get that first door ding... Before assembly, I had my new Ava safely in it's bag. The fuse and tailboom were in the side pocket. The result is some of the carbon powder from the inside of the tailboom found its way onto the nosecone leaving some dark streaks on the white finish. The finish doesn't seem to be marred, I just can't seem to get the marks out. It's not the end of the world but it is so daggone good looking! Any suggestions?

Re: [RCSE] Good vendor alert
Mr Belknap spent about 1/2 hour on the phone with me discussing custom battery configurations for my Ellipse 4 and electric Escape/Ellipse. He was able to make batteries with a much larger capacity I thought was possible for the planes. Definitely a class act.

[RCSE] NYX - Thermal duration feedback
I am looking for feedback on the thermal flying / landing qualities of the NYX. I own a NYX but have never flown it. I also owned an Artemis but it somehow found the only tree at our field and decided to land there. I really liked the Artemis. I'm trying to decide whether to trade/sell the NYX and buy an Artemis or possibly a Pike, although I don't realy want to spend the extra dough on a Pike.
