Re: [RCSE] Batteries??
Hi Kent, FWIW, I've always received excellent from the Hill's at www.battlepack.com. Steve is a great guy who keepss us high current guys in the loop with what's working well and what's not. Dan Kent Miller wrote: I am looking for a good battery supplier for Tx, Rx and motor packs. I have been using batteriesamerica and have become totally disgusted in their service and attitude. I placed an order for four packs and some shrink tubing over a month and a half ago, called 6 different times and was basically shined on by everyone including the owner. BAD BAD. Any help would be appreciated on another GOOD source. Thanks, Kent Miller SBSS RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Charity raffle for Steve Lange
Steve Lange is a huge supporter of Michael Richter (creator of the Weasel, miniWeasel, and Alula) and slope soaring in general, as well as being a contributor to RC Soaring Digest, rcgroups.com, and the flyweasel Yahoo group. His eight month old son, José Luis, suffered a stroke on September 23rd. José Luis is recovering rapidly, but the medical and therapy expenses which are not covered by insurance will likely be several thousand dollars. To try to pay off some these costs, Steve has set up a raffle. All of the proceeds from this raffle will be put toward medical expenses. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=424622 The raffle is to be held on the 15th of this month, just one week from now, so we will not be able to get anything into RCSD until it's too late. The prizes vary from slope kits to electrics to radio equipment to a hotel stay in Santa Barbara California. Included in the list are the Bluto 48 and Bluto 56 prototypes from North County Flying Machines, and an unbuilt MAD Highlander. This will be a virtual raffle, and free shipping within the U.S. has already been arranged for nearly all of the items. Ticket prices vary from $1.50 for one to $200 for 300. Please pass this message on to your soaring friends. Thanks!

The 'Surfimp Aid raffle has been organized with all proceeds going to benefit Steve's family to help offset medical/therapy bills, etc. Here is your chance to win some awesome RC prizes (slope and some electric) and to give to a worthy cause.

Re: [RCSE] My Error at 300mph - Now 1,320 Feet
Actually Jim, I think that Nome you fly should be quite visible at 1,320 feet, of course given the angle you would have to be even further away to equal a 1/4 mile radius circle. But still that should be sufficient to still see the stabs. I know TK say's if you see the stabs it is only so high. We were even more than so high at the FRU, awesome weekend for soaring. Was amazing how far and spread out the lift was, it was tough to cover the field when it was a 1 mile diameter circle. That still didn't keep many pilots from hooking up and ridding that thermal out of sight, and sometimes it was only 1 or 2, burying the whole group, ouch.

Geezers my age couldn't see the plane well enough at a 1/4 mile radius. Sorry about the poor proofreading. It's still awfully fast and as Chuck Anderson points out, the ensuing kinetic energy is really scary. Jim Deck RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] 279 MPH - New DS world record
I am a little slow since I fly TD. But if you set a world record doesn't that mean a bigger number...meaning 275, 280, 290, 300? I thought I saw a post that said 300 mph was set. I think the DS pilots are dizzy from watching the airplanes go by too fast.
