[RCSE] OVSS Standings/Fall Round Up
This past weekend we flew in Chicago and had a blast, now Steve has updated the overall scores for the OVSS on the CSS website, www.cincinnatisoaring.org at the OVSS icon. Jim Bacus is looking like he has focused in on winning the big prize again for the Master class fliers and Bob Burson has a bit of a lead in Sportsman class. October 1 2 is our final event, the Fall Round Up in Muncie at AMA, and again thanks to JR Radio, we have goodies, servos, and for the winners of the year end class winners, 9303 Radios. Another great weekend of seeded MOM and you know how cool it is to fly at AMA! See ya there, Marc RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Removing wing servo...
At 03:08 PM 9/22/2005, you wrote: I simply remove the three screws holding the servos and it falls right out. :-) Seriously, I gave up on gluing servos in place years ago. I find that If I can easily remove the servo, I seldom need to. Some version of Murphy's law I suppose. Chuck Anderson RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] A320 Landing
Sorry guys, his plane shedd a few parts on landing, so no points can be allowed. I don't care if was 6 off the center line, he did keep it going straight on the runway. Flight points are allowed. But that pilot did a damn good job, you can't berate that fact. Also, he allowed all the passengers to watch the event on live TV as it was happening, just as you got to see it. They mostly had lots of praise for him too. Jerry Miller - SOSS Medford, OR RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Rotary tool Accessory kit
Title: Rotary tool Accessory kit While thumbing (mousing?) through Harbor Freights on line web site I ran across a 249 piece rotary tool accessory set for $25. This isnt a sale price so you might want to wait until it goes on sale. The link is below. From what I see, its got the best selection and assortment for what we do. I just thought Id pass it on. http://ww2.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=93243
[RCSE] Real building projects
I think of building, as it applies to other modelers, of at least completing a kit for which most of the parts, but especially wings and tail pieces, require assembly. Building as it applies to me, has a stricter sense, which for most of my life has meant scratch building everything but hardware from raw materials. The last few years, though, I've used Les Horvath prepared foam cores to do carbon cloth covered vacuum-bagged wings and have finally succumbed to using composite fuselages. However, I did make the plugs from which molds were made and from which fuses are being made. I suspect everyone who reads this knows about my 145-1/2 span, big Genie design. If not, see http://genie.rchomepage.com/ about the Genie line of scratch-buildable, competition airframes. I've just finished the 28th one and this one for another party with some custom features for F3J high stress towing. I built it liesurely and with special care over the last several weeks. Ready fly, the all up, RTF weight is just 80.7 oz. on the 3 piece, 8.75 sq. ft. wing ship. This is not a butterfly, floater type ship. It is rugged and more aptly described as a dreadnaught or juggernaut. As is always used, wing cores are blue Dow High Load 60 foam, has the usual Kevlar wrapped, double tapered CF spar system, overall 4.7 carbon cloth, plus 1.4 oz glass on a bias, real wood LE, glassed-over before bagging and that beautifully engineered composite fuse made by Keith Smith. On this one, though, an 8.2 oz. 5 cell 2000MAH airborne battery was to be carried, heavy duty blue-tempered, clock-spring steel blades used for tip support, a heavy duty Hoopes Harness installed and a stab set reinforced with CF capped spars. I just got back from doing some initial hand tosses amid soccer clutter at the Community College field. 200 feet from a gentle hand toss. What a glide and so straight and true! . .wow!. .Wow! . WOW! Tomorrow, I'll drive where I can do big launches, do some fine trimming and then reluctantly put it away for the buyer. I absolutely have to have one just like this one for me for next year. Cores for #29 have been ordered. Oh, yeah, the composite fuse for the 10' span Genie LT/S is shortly to be in production. With it, the all up weight should be 56-58 ounces. This is another rugged ship that will do a most-spirited deep dip and zoom launch. Now is the time to get serious about a project for winter and it's a far better thing to do than watch bad news you can do so little about. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] For Sale - Laser Arts Majestic Kit with Pushrods on eBay
Laser Arts Majestic: This is a kit, still in the box. I opened the box, looked at the parts and said Someday Im going to build that. Then it sat on my shelf. I wont be able to build this winter, so Im going to part with it. My loss can be your gain! The plans require two pushrods, which I purchased, and are still in their packaging. The kit alone sells for $120 at Laser Arts (which doesn't include shipping).

[RCSE] Mark's Models Bird of Time Kit
I have a Mark's Models Bird of Time kit that can be had for $75 plus shipping. The kit box has apparently been through a serious rain storm, as the label is nearly washed out. But the contents are intact and in good shape. Small parts and hardware are still in plastic bags. Included is a pristine RCM plan with a reprint of the '79 Thornburg construction article (the best sailplane article ever written in my humble opinion) and the original construction photo sheet. If you like your 60 oz. RFT Bird of Time, you're gonna LOVE a 43 ounce version with extremities so light they respond to belching butterflies and wings with the strength of actual vertical grain shear webs. This is the kit of the design as it was meant to fly. Preference to PayPal payment and UPS shipping. Reply off line if you're interested.

Re: [RCSE] OVSS Standings/Fall Round Up
Bacus the Top Dog Bacus takes the OVSS trophy? Not unless you Marc or Karl post some good scores at the FRU. I would say it's still up for grabs. :-) Is Bacus going to be there to defend his lead? Will Marc or Karl garnish a win to become the OVSS champion? Marc has gone through his slump, he was hot the second day of Fred. He's at the top of his game. It's a real horse race for 3 top notch pilots. Wow. I'll be there to see for myself how the drama unfolds.

Re: [RCSE] How to dye clear covering film for translucent finish?
--- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], lothar_thole [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am planning to use clear Ozcover Lite to cover my 2m Wind Dancer wing. I know you can paint it after covering, but I would like a translucent finish, and to save the weight of the paint. Any ideas on how I can dye the adhesive side of the film before covering? One suggestion is aerosol paint lightly sprayed on the adhesive side, my concern would be getting an even coat. Other suggestions include fabric dye, red ink and red wine! Hello, Any reason why you would not just use ultracote lite? It is pretty light stuff, and you can get it in translucent. Several years ago a guy named Rolland Klingberg used to sell this really thin/light transparent covering. This was before Ultracote Lite came out. I bought some, and managed to die it using RIT die. I put the die and water in a big pot on my stove and heated the pot up somewhat, and then put the pre cut pieces of covering in the pot and mixed it around for an hour. It did die the covering translucent, but it was a very light coloring. Much lighter than your standard ¡§transparent¡¨ covering. End result also had a slight ¡§tie die¡¨ result. You can also use magic markers to color the adhesive side of the covering, at least you could with the stuff Klingberg was selling. I also used that, although it was kind of ugly. Or perhaps I am not very good with the markers! º Ryan RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Go out and buy some 2400 Nimh AA's and install them in the tx. Use the JR polarity charge jack in the tx to charge. I usually only have to charge the tx every other week or so. And I am known to fly through 1 to 2 packs of 1320mah LiPO's in my modded out Blade CP heli in my front yard each evening. 8-) (It keeps my fingers and mind nimble and quick for soaring) At 01:01 PM 9/23/2005, Mark Howard wrote: E-Flight Blade CP heli.
