[RCSE] micro sloper....
My brother went sloping this weekend with me, had a good time... Now he's ordered a Combat Wing ARF, but he was looking to build something - liked the idea of a light, light ship. Has anyone here flown the Alula? Is it a good flying plane?? Any other suggestions for something similar, a Weasel or the like?Goal is something to work light lift, should be foam .

Re: [RCSE] micro sloper....
Ah, the hunt for a light lift sloper. An ever present search for most slopers. You mentioned foam. Fine. It can be done. But it's difficult to do well. The combat wing Boomerang is pretty good in light lift. If you build it as light as you can. 14 ounces is a doable goal weight that will yield reasonable light lift performance. Mine is 16oz. and does well enough at that with few if any compromises. The old TG-3 *could* also be built light enough to yield reasonable light lift performance. The old highlander is also reasonably good. The Mongo Jr. is also pretty good in light lift if built for that. The Alula is rumored to be pretty good but I've never seen one. The Red Herring is also pretty good. But for real light lift performance you have to choose a non-foam plane. The Climax or any of the high dollar HLG's are very good. Whatever choice he makes, the construction will be critical to achieving the performance he desires. A micro plane is harder to build well.

Re: [RCSE] micro sloper....
Brent, I much prefer the Weasel for slope. I have both the Alula and a couple of Weasels. The Alula is really too light for most slope conditions and the Weasel will fly in almost as light a wind condition. The mass of the Weasel makes it much better at retaining energy. I've flown my Weasel in 3-4 mph and had a blast! I've DSed it in 5mph and it is a riot! I've also flown it in 30 plus although normally by that time I'd have long since pulled out a different plane. The Alula is good for side arm launching and for flat field stuff though. The Weasel really is not made for that. -- Greg Smith Slope Soaring Resource http://www.slopeflyer.com US distributor for Wizard Compact II, Opus DS V, Majko, Airtech models and PCM Erwin 5 models.

[RCSE] Post bagging formation of skin depressions.
I'm puzzled about the random, shallow depressions that sometimes form after bagging and wondering if others experienced in bagging know the cause and how to prevent it. My inquiry is prompted by the worst case I've ever seen in some 14 years of bagging wings.There are no less than 60 of the depressions in a 48 panel.There are about 20 on the bottom skin and the rest on the top. All are behind the spar that runs about 2-1/2 back from the LE on a 10 chord slightly tapered panel. The depressions are 1/100 or less in depth and most are 3/8 to 1/2 in diameter. The cores were cut from Dow High Load 60 and looked perfect. The epoxy used was fresh West 105 with fresh slower 206 hardener. The carriers had been waxed and polished with 3 coats of Meguires #26 paste wax and painted with common Krylon. The layup was 1.4 oz. glass on a bias and the 4.7 oz. ACP 80/20 unidirectional CF cloth. The epoxy was rolled on to thoroughly wet all out. Toilet tissue was then rolled out on the work and a roller used to pick up excess. The work was folded in 3 mil drop cloth with breather attached to it and then left in the bag at room temperature for 36 hours. Toilet tissue used to pick up epoxy and saved to judge cure in the bag was well cured.The vacuum was set to cycle from 15 to 10 hg's. The Gast pump setup was running 5-6 seconds every 16 minutes. Paint transfer was perfect. TE's are straight, true and rigid. All the above is in keeping with techniques used for years on many dozens of panels. Most came out normally. A few had some depressions. Have any of you had the same experience? Confirmed the cause? Preventative medicine? Have any of you suspected moisture content in the foam cores? Would its release be more likely to cause bubbles rather than depressions? Have any of you placed a core panel by itself in the bag to see if any of the depressions would appear before actually applying the layup? Did they? Did you fill the depressions before bagging? Did new ones still appear? Please give us all the benefit of your experience. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Post bagging formation of skin depressions.
Sounds like finger tip depressions from handling the core. I have experienced this before and after the bagging process...

RE: [RCSE] Post bagging formation of skin depressions.
I'm puzzled about the random, shallow depressions that sometimes form after bagging and wondering if others experienced in bagging know the cause and how to prevent it. Handling dents come from finger tips, leftover drops of hardened epoxy on the board, pieces (even very small) of anything that the wing rests on while you are cutting hinges, trimming trailing edges, sanding leading edges, joining, wiring---you get the picture. You can get many tens of them from a single or pair of drops on the board as you move the wing around! Working in the shucks helps minimize this sort of damage. REMOVING DENTS For foam core wings, you can remove practically all of this damage after the fact. Heat a monokote sealing iron to very hot, fold a paper towel to four or eight layers, wet the paper towel to soaking, almost dripping wet. Lay the wet folded paper towel onto the dented are and the iron over that. Generally speaking (common sense here), the more steam/boiling water, the better. Severe damage can be helped by pouring boiling water over the area, even multiple times. Do not let the iron touch the wing directly. Always work with a wet towel.

One idea I am kicking around is to sponsor an informal F3J competition on the Thursday prior to the SWC. While Friday would be logistically better we would severely interfere with frequencies and real estate for those coming in to practice just for the SWC on Friday. Monday is out since the field is not rented for that day and there are no known venues in the Phoenix area that we could use. I am considering bringing a couple of club winches to the event and while the US Team will be practicing real F3J launches, we could also have pilots launching off the winches at the same time. We could argue til the cows come home whether the winches are better or worse and give someone an advantage/disadvantage but FOCUS!!! This is an informal fun event it just does not matter. If you have F3J equipment, bring it and find some towers and have at it. Well even supply F3J equipment to a few groups if you can get towers and want to give F3J a try. If you dont have equipment but want to give F3J a try, you can use the winches. Ill take the responsibility of grouping pilots into teams, remember there is no team score, teams are just arrangements for working together (calling, towing, etc). Ill be bringing the sound system we used at the Team Selections, so well have the real thing. I need to gauge if this is realistic and if there are enough interested pilots to participate. If you think you would like to participate on Thursday, please send me an email and indicate if you want to use the winches or hand tow and if hand tow, whether you need equipment.

RE: [RCSE] micro sloper....
I've got a couple planes that are kind of small for the slope. Both were bought off eBay. But they are not foam planes. I like slope planes that actually look like planes grin. The first one is the Silhouette. It is a low wing slope racer that has a wing span of about 43 inches. I plan to install a ballast tube in the wing for the brisk trade wind we have during the spring and summer. The other plane is the Climmaxx (1.5 meter wing span). It is a fun plane to fly on the slope since it has a full flying rudder. It is a great plane when the trade wind is kind of mellow. Both planes can be built light and strong and will take any size electronics. But I know, you want foam... Oh the JW I have is pretty good. It is not real light but it will fly respectably in light steady trade wind.

Now he's ordered a Combat Wing ARF, but he was looking to build something - liked the idea of a light, light ship. Has anyone here flown the Alula? Is it a good flying plane?? Any other suggestions for something similar, a Weasel or the like?Goal is something to work light lift, should be foam . Bonus points if he gets to buy micro equipment - he likes the research as much as the building. Thanks, Brent RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Metal servo frames
Snip - because the CNC Aluminum frames were too expensive and difficult to keep glued down.. Keeping the plastic frames in place can also be a problem. It's helpful to lay small pieces of fiberglass over the corners of the mounts when you epoxy them in place. The fiberglass pieces also help to reinforce the joint between the vertical parts of the plastic mount and the base. I've broken a couple of the plastic mounts and adding the fiberglass seems to prevent this. I really preferred the metal mounts. Adding the fiberglass on the corners of the metal mounts eliminated any problems with them coming loose. .and the screw holes eventually got worn by the steel screws. This makes me wonder how many times you remove and reinstall the servos. That fella makes theBlue Plastic Volz mounts and plasticbrand x mounts Craig supplies, good stuff from a couple of great guys! Still, as Gordy says, and this kills me to agree 8-), both these guys do provide pretty good products. Jim PorterJohnston Iowa USA "The airplane stays up because it doesn't have the time to fall."
