[RCSE] The Moulded Supra Fly's

2005-10-19 Thread LJolly



Hey guys, just wanted to drop you a note and let you know I have about an 
hour and a half on the Supra. All launches were by hand or short start. The wind 
was 10 to 15 MPH with average convection, it is still a little wet after 
our 3 days of rain. I outfitted the model with 6-Airtronics 761 digitals and a 
1650 NiMH pack. The model took 2 ounces in the nose and weighs 63 ounces. I put 
the CG where DR Drela suggested and the stab at 0 degrees to the tailboom. I 
used the large angle dihedral joiners.  I have the mixing and comps at 
about 95 percent of where I will end up with them, just a little fine tuning 
left now. All I can say is WOW this is going to be a popular model. Mark and Tom 
already know this, but the Supra climbs like a model that is much lighter than 
it is, and it covers ground like a model that is much heavier. I can only 
imagine what Mark Drelas model must crawl like at 40 ounces, but this is just 
about the best performing model I have flown. The model is very pilot 
friendly, I would put it in the benign category for handling, and at the same 
time will go where you point it. The models sleek aerodynamics allow it to turn 
at high angles of attack, without apparent tip losses. You know those low level 
puffs that would save you if you could just stay in them.,well the Supra can 
ride this ridiculous kind of lift. I will be out at El Dorados field on Sunday 
morning about 10:00 AM if you want to get some stick time on this new glider. 
Gordy, I expect that you will fly out to Long Beach to fly with us. I 
want to thank Mark Drela for his efforts in designing such a great 
performing sailplane, and Vladimir and Barry for making this model available to 
the rest of us. Best Regards Larry Jolly

2005-10-19 Thread TJB
I have a spare SBXC in nice Dean's wooden box, ready to fly.  Have done 2 
and 4 hour thermals with it and tried cross country at Nats the last time 
(made it on the course, but that's about it)
$1500 without autopilot and $1600 with.  Includes 3000 mAh battery, Hitec 
Super Slim receiver,  Volz servos, etc.
Just let me know the frequency or will switch out the receiver for a Polk 8 
Synth.

No need to ban them.  They say they get about an hour extra flight time with 
the thermal finder.  I think most of us can do better than that.

Yep, tried to post this last night to RCSE. Guess the server was in the 
twilight zone every one of my post appear to be lost to RCSE, other e-mails 
work, so no ISP problem.

Also, if you go to this link be sure to check out the picture files link. 
The puck on the top of the fuselage sure looks like a FMA Copilot to me. An 
I.E. that I have been working with on a UAV proposal at work told me about 
it.

[RCSE] vacuum pump system for sale

2005-10-19 Thread Ed Berris




I've been selling vacuum pump set ups to modelers 
for almost 12 years.  This one might be the nicest yet.  The system 
includes a diaphragm pump that is really quiet.  The pump has a built in 
fan for cooling but in addition there is a computer type whisper fan in the 
enclosure. (Photo available - email request)
 
Everything is contained in a metal cabinet with a 
carry handle on top, a large 2.5" vacuum gauge that reads from 0 - 30 IN Hg, a 
vacuum relief valve that makes adjusting vacuum levels from 1" Hg all the up to 
20" Hg which is more than sufficient for any bagging process.  There is a 
hose barb on the front panel and an on/off push button switch.  These 
systems sell for over $450 new.
 
This is a unit with very low usage and is very 
clean.  $165 plus $15 for Fedex Ground insured shipping anywhere in the 
lower 48 states.
 
Ed

How exactly do you run XC contests, what kind of format do you all use?
Very curious, seems like it would be a blast.

Any websites / clubsites you could recommend?

Also, how big is an XC (I've seen pics, but weight, etc)?  I am going to
make myself finish my scale project this winter, wonder if it would
work.
