[RCSE] FS: Slope and electric stuff
Hi All, Been working on organizing the shop and found a few items that should go. I am posting them here for a couple of days before they go on eBay. Cavazos Slope Scale P-51B - Brand New in the box. This is a full kit. It is an Electric version but could just as easily be built as a sloper. The electrics have a lighter fuse layup and lighter wood but are otherwise the same. $160 shipped in the Continental US Hacker B-50-13S w/6.7:1 Gearbox- New in the box. Designed for Large Models up to 6 Lbs., that require very high thrust on 10-16 cells. Planetary Gearbox incorporates "Needle Bearings" for super reliability. The B50 "S" series are used in 3D Funflyers, Competition Gliders, Aerobatic Pattern and .40 Size Sport ARF models. While this motor is new and has never been installed, it is missing the mount screws and the fiberglass firewall. These parts are readily available. These motors sell for well over $250. I'll sell mine for $190 shipped in the Continental US. Hacker Master 18-B - Electronic Speed Control - New in the package. Use with the Hacker B-20 series motors or similar. Current 18 amps continious Peak Current for 10sec. is 27 amps 4-10 Cells NiMH / 2-3 LiPo Has a BEC Will work with up to 4-Servos These sell for $85 or so. Buy mine for $70 shipped in the Continental US. MPI 3.33:1 Planetary High Power Gear Box for Speed 400 and 480 sized motors. MPI Part ACC4033 - NEW in the box. Two pinion gears for different motor shaft sizes are included to suit varieties of applications. Gear Ratio 3.33:1 Motor Shaft dia. 2.3mm or 3.17mm(.125²) Ouput Shaft 5mm Mounting pattern 16mm Power (Max) 800W Weight 57g (2.0oz) Bought it for $60 will sell for $40 shipped in the Continental US.

[RCSE] FS: Nikon D100 and Nikon 70-300 to Photograph Your Sailplanes
Hi Guys, With all the DSLR discussions and because this camera has almost exclusively been used to photograph sailplanes it seemed appropriate to post it here before I put it up on eBay. Here is a chance to take sailplane photographs with the same camera that I used to shoot dozens of photos published in Model Aviation, Model Airplane News, RCSD and others as well as almost all the shots on slopeflyer.com since I got it. I have a new D200 coming and so the D100 has to go. Here is what I am selling: - Nikon D100 Digital SLR Camera Body and associated covers and caps. - Nikon 70-300 ED f/4-5.6 Note that this is the D lens, not the cheaper G model! - Extra Lithium battery - Charger - 512MB Compact Flash card - 62mm UV filter - 62mm Circular polarizing filter (a must for those great sky shots!) The camera is in excellent shape and has had about 6500 images through it. The lens is nearly perfect as well. I also kept the original boxes so they will travel well. This setup was over $2000 when I bought it. I'll sell it for $850 insured and shipped in the Continental US. Shoot me an email if you have questions.

Re: [RCSE] Vender Disappointment - Rant Follows
Phil, What name was on the pen and how was it written? You might be able to narrow it down. I know of no small vendors (only some magazines) that sell names. It is usually a big no no and not worth the risk. I get pens like that just because I have a mailing address, and not because a vendor sold the name. Don't rule out the fact you have a USA address at all. If you signed an address card for the box, you are in someone's database.

This might not seem like a big thing but I have a USA mailbox which calls me when I have a parcel come in. They charge a reasonable $2.50 for this service. You can imagine my delight after waiting an hour in a border line-up to be given a "free pen" by the "National Pen Company".

[RCSE] Winch lauching glider setting (answer to Mark)
Very interesting thread ! Mark, are you working on a simulation model for the winch launch ? Such a tool would allow us to optimize this very important flight phase in various conditions. In real world the air is different each time you launch, so it is very hard to know after a good launch if you did better, or if the wind or a thermal helped you, even with an alti logger... With a math model you can set the atmosheric parameters and play with different settings... About your elevator preset during launch and rotation: i wonder if additionnal flap deflection would'nt help in this phase. This moves backward the center of pressure of the wing which help stabilize the plane,. No matter the drag, it gives you maximum lift which is, for sure, necessary in this phase. Then, when "critical" altitude is reached, less flap may help to find a better compromise "lift/drag" (I mean here "still hudge lift/ but not to much drag") so the glider climb fast... Maybe both elevator and flap presets are necessary for the transition phase, what do you think ? But while saying this i'm going for this question: what is the optimal setting for the flaps ? For a given airfoil, between launch at let's say, 10 m/s, and the end of the climb (before zoom) at 40 m/s 50 m/s, or more, the Reynolds number varies a lot ! Appart from handling qualities, is the optimal flap setting the same between 10 m/s and 50 m/s ?? Do we know if we want the higher Cl, no matter the drag ? Or a compromise ? If we can identify this compromise, is Xfoil able to predict the airfoil performance accurately ? Thanks for your work, wish you many interesting flights for 2006.

Re: [RCSE] Tools
By far the one I use most is a 3m sanding sponge, the one with multiple grits on each side, and lately the longer ones. Just amazingly flexible tools for shaping wood and foam, as well as the cleanup work I had to do on a fiberglass fuse... the way the stiff sponge will follow an inside or outside curve is terrific. My secret to making it work fast is, I play a CD of Latin/lounge bongo music while sanding, and the rhythm of the music takes over... by the time the CD is done, so is the job.:-) My second-favorite tool is this little AC-powered handheld hot-wire cutter I bought for like 20 bucks at the Fomebords store in Chicago like 22 years ago. Now I'm really into bluecore and fan fold, I use it more often than my xacto number 11.

Re: [RCSE] RE: What is your favorite tool for building?
My favorite tool for building is a good friend Al Clark. All I have to do is store a plane for him for a few months or years, he then buys it back and builds it. (He builds to near perfection.) Then he will fly it once or twice to check it out,and trim it, then sell back to me for a price that I JUST CANT refuse. I'm not lsure if he runs on batteries, AC, or how he is powered. But I guarantee he will outperform the Eveready bunny. :>) Ron
[RCSE] Brookville - a tale of 2 winds....
I just rolled back into Dayton after 3 hours at Brookville (IN) Dam. It started off almost perfect for light foam, Zagis and Biz's, then it just died. For about 30 minutes, the only ships that were really working were a scale Discus(?) and a 5oz Alula. Then, Round 2 started. I think Ed Franz clocked the wind at 30 before I was able to even break out ballast... Paul Siegel was doing huge DS circles with a nice 60" glass sloper, another flier had a Spider 60 out front, and I put up a recovered, refuselaged M60... Just a blast, well worth the wait. Note: a stock M60 WILL DS in that kind of wind, even in my hands. I had no idea that there was so much combat in the KY/OH area - if you find yourself near the dam in a good south wind, bring a combat wing of some sort. There must have been 8 ships in the air, looked great - I tried to play with a HalfPipe, but I really didn't want to get hit with that plane. It was pretty cool to blow thru the furball on a high speed pass, tho. Back to normal society - Lift, Brent RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

My favorite tool is the custom height work bench I built for myself. The table top is at 52" off the floor, and I never have to hunch over again! (And yes, I'm fairly tall at 6'-7" - that's a full 2 meters for our metric friends).

This is a great hobby and we welcome you to the fold. BTW, RES, Scale, slope, thermal, DLG, F3(whatever) and electrics are welcome here, as much as you are! Glad to have you aboard. George Voss 1403 Lincolnshire Rd OKC OK 73159 ps: my spell checker flagged tuppence. It's a good thing I've seen Mary Poppins huh? ;-) -Original Message- From: david alchin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 07, 2006 11:51 PM To: soaring Subject: [RCSE] Tools Hi Guys, I'm kinda new to this soaring exchange but I'll pop in my tuppence worth regarding favorite tool, as a builder of scale models [ and dare I say R.E.S.] currently building a scratch built Riva Super Ariston Mahogany Runabout boat to 1/4 scale next project a Sky Bench Baby Bowlus. The need for a plane came about now having seen the add for Great Planes "Power Planer" I purchased that item and was pleasantly surprised that it lives up to the manufactures claims, it will plane balsa/ply/hardwood whatever and the micro adjustment allows for real precise planing a great tool it only has one draw back for some one like myself who's hands are following father times the power switches are mounted on each side and require quite considerable pressure to keep running. I most certainly recommend it. David AKA The Brit david alchin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Why Wait? Move to EarthLink. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Almost Sailplane Related
Browsing the new books at the local library I came across a novel with a title that called out to me: "The Art of Uncontrolled Flight" by Kim Ponders (2005) Kim is one of the first female USAF pilots to fly in a war zone. This is her first novel. It has nothing to do with sailplanes, but the uncontrolled flight part sounded familiar to me. Worth a read. Tom H. NagelJudicatum Procurator Recuperatio
[RCSE] Soaring at the Blimp Dome
This is a report on the bi-weekly indoor flying events in Columbus, Ohio. We fly 9 to 12 pm in an inflated golf dome on the east side of town every other Saturdaynight. And yes, this story is soaring related. First of all, indoor flying is a helpful treatment for those of us suffering from GPS during the dark, grey Columbus winter. Secondly, it is a chance for us to see the marvelously inventive models of guys from all over the state. One fellow has a "Tri-Rotor" thingy that he designed himself, a sort of mutant helicopter device with three motors and three props on the corners of a carbon fiber triangle. It will roll and loop, and fly out and away like a real airplane, and unlike most model helicopters I see. It navigates through a combination of gimbaled motors and differential thrust. Another fellow has one of those toy airplanes that flies by differential thrust from two motors and recharges by sitting on its transmitter. He has re-fitted it with two brushless motors, a lipoly single cell and a real receiver. He has programmed the heck out of his JR transmitter and the little plane flies just like it had ailerons and elevator and rudder. Jet Jockey Terry Nitsch was flying a 3 mph electric with a 5" wingspan, which was a treat to see. And one of the guys was flying a DLG Alula indoors, easily launching it to the ceiling of the blimp dome and then flying aerobatics and circuits of the dome amidst a cloud of park fliers, 3-D foamies, ducted fan electrics and high speed flying winglets. A major improvement in the Columbus indoor fly is that it is now organized into a series of half hour sessions: a half hour of 3-D free for all; then a half hour of "racetrack pattern"; and so forth. Much less carnage that way. OK Columbus sailplane guys: It's safe to go back into the dome.
