Well I was completely underwhelmed by the Nats soaring coverage in the 
November Model Aviation.


What coverage?

[RCSE] Re: SBXC FS

2005-10-30 Thread TJB

Walter,
I still have the SBXC for sale.
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) Have done 5K Canadian task with
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
It took more than 30 hours to build from the kit, so there's a lot of time 
in

it.
Tom

P.S. ATT won't let me reply to your direct email.


Hi Tom.  Thought I remember you saying something about having a SBXC for
sale somewhere.  Is that correct?  If so can you give me details on it?
Thanks, Walter

It was in the front of the same issue as the NATS
non-coverage. All they said was that the Executive
Commitee voted not to renew his contract. They are
looking for a new candidate.

Re: [RCSE] Model Aviation 2005 NATS Issue

2005-10-30 Thread Michael Lachowski
It's currently the second item in news on the AMA home page.  Right 
after the Spread Spectrun stuff.  Which is a lot more exciting than the 
 Executive director leaving.  Looking forward to putting a spread 
spectrum radio in some slope trash to avoid any frequency conflicts.

[RCSE] Nats Issue and AMA ED

2005-10-30 Thread ROBERT M GELLART
Interesting note about what others thought about the loss of the Nats issue.
When Tom and I were in Muncie for the Nats planning meeting there was kind
of a final call about the 2005 Nats for comments, no had said a word about
the mag.  Well, I brought it up, the fact that as a kid I could not wait to
see that issue and how it led me to this hobby.  Well, the room began to
applaud.  I just shut up and this subject went on for about another hour.
Really did not mean to start up an issue, but I think that many held our
opinion and that I would guess that 2006 is different.  Just for the record,
from what I know, it was the Model Aviation staff that generated this idea,
not AMA staff.

Second subject, AMA ED Don Koranda seemed to be a nice enough guy, and is a
very goal orientated and business based guy.  And I think that was his
demise, too much business for a "club".  Good or bad, even though AMA is a
large orgaization, it is run like a club and I am not sure that that is for
the better.  But who knows???

Re: [RCSE] Nats Issue and AMA ED

2005-10-30 Thread Ray Hayes
Another "missing" part in Model Aviation are sailplane vendor ads.  Also, I
wonder why very few (none is closer to accurate) individuals send in photos
of their sailplanes to the Focal Point section.  Most sailplane "vending" is
done on the internet groups, so maybe we have eliminated the reasons for AMA
to do more than they already have for sailplane contestants.  Club run or
not, they still have to show black on the bottom line (or raise our dues).

Actually on a twelve month view, excluding the Soaring Section column, there
is very little reference to soaring.  Contest flyers are linked to AMA, but
are a very small number compared to those that don't see a need for an AMA
license.

So if we feel slighted, maybe it is a lesson in being part of a minority.

[RCSE] Stylus For Sale

2005-10-30 Thread Michael Conte

Stylus with:

Glider Card
50 Model Memory Card
1650mAh battery pack
Ch 39 Module
Ch 35 Module
92185 PCM Rx (Ch 39)
Neck Strap
DSC Cord
All Manuals

The Tx is in excellent condition with two exceptions.  The antenna has 
a small kink toward the base but still extends and retracts fully.  The 
lever that ejects the cards stopped working two weeks ago.


The Rx works fine and has the old style plugs.  The antenna was 
shortened and soldered to an integral antenna in a fuselage.  I've 
since put the antenna back to the stock length and flown it several 
times.


$300 for everything shipped CONUS
