[RCSE] Re: Soaring V1 #6983
Jim Laurel, I read your informal test of PCM vs. PPM on your JR radio. I have never heard that you could avoid channel conflict by using a PCM receiver. Failsafe and, perhaps faster or more solid signal handling were what I heard. Can anyone confirm this ability of a PCM receiver to ignore a PPM signal on the same channel? Could be a good reason for me to consider using PCM. I never had a good reason before.

[RCSE] RE: Jr R700 rx in contest environment?
Sorry. Same channel = problems for both Though a good Rx can outperform a poor one and therefore be the one still in the air. Also if the guy with the good Rx is closer to his plane or have a better Tx/antenna he can have control longer than the one with a slightly offset Tx/short antenna/poor antenna PCM versus PPM have nothing or little effect on range or better performance. What PCM does better is giving you the right movement without any jittering. The PPM system actually gives better range but with some jitter possible. The difference you see at the tests are because the whole receiver is built up in a better way. I have never tested the R700 in a contest so I cant tell if it will be good. Tested it in a electric seaplane though and it was good.

Re: [RCSE] Re: Soaring V1 #6983
Ed, No manufacturer has ever claimed that PCM would work alongside FM on the same channel. I wouldn't jump to that conclusion based on one test. In fact I wouldn't even entertain the notion that it might be remotely possible. The only reason I ever saw for using PCM receivers was the ability to change out the transmitter battery while the airplane was in flight. The PCM receiver - if no fail save settings have been implemented - will hold the last settings when signal is lost. So if the plane is trimmed for level flight you can shut down the transmitter for a while without the plane going nuts. Hope this helps Rick At 04:55 AM 1/17/2006, Ed Anderson wrote: Jim Laurel, I read your informal test of PCM vs. PPM on your JR radio.

[RCSE] carbon boom interference, Ham guy inputs.
I made the mistake (teasing) of mentioning this to a Ham guy I work with. He looked at the picture of me, the radios, and the plane - immediately said you've got vertical and horizontal polarization. Then, yes, the carbon boom could be causing you issues in that orientation. A half hour and 2 chalkboards later... The best ideas he had was a triangle shape going out the wing, back the fuse, back via the other wing - optimally connecting to the ground of the battery. That blew my mind. Plan B is the antenna above or below the boom, trailing to a half wave - he guessed (not knowing all the details of RC radios) the antenna length to be 39 for a half wave. The other idea he had was 2 antennas, both 39 - one normal, run out one wing. The other antenna would be hooked to the battery ground, out the other wing. I suggested one down the wing, the other down the boom. He said that would probably be bad, too directional. The triangle approach sounds interesting, anyone else hear something similar? He thinks that if you do it right, you get the RX into a vertical polarization, more like the transmitter. Thanks to all who've given input on this!

Re: [RCSE] carbon boom interference, Ham guy inputs.
The triangle approach sounds interesting, anyone else hear something similar? I use triangle patterns all the time in my delta wing designs, they work very well, but I have the space to keep it internal, I wouldn't want an external triangle training behind the TE to the boom. it would be in the dirty air leaving the TE, but it would still cause unwanted drag and might even start oscillating which would create a lot of drag The balanced dipole, I.E. ground running out the other wing, should be optimal, BUT, the rx mfg. has already tuned the system to allow for the ground structure of the entire average flight pack to be used as the ground. You would need the ability to test and tune the ground lead, so it is balanced with the antenna, this may not be necessary and it would be easy enough to do some empiracle testing. You could start with a 1/2 wave ground, do range tests (on the ground) and then start clipping 1/2 at a time. It isn't a perfect test, but you would find out something useful. It may be that you find out it isn't worth wasting time playing with antennas when you could be flying with a proven installation...

Re: [RCSE] Small [R/C] plane crash...
I don't think it was deliberate. It was just a model that had engine failure. I kind of resent the use of the word 'toy' to describe it, though. I've heard of this happening before but not with anything like this small -- I can understand someone mistaking a large scale model landing where planes don't usually land for a full-size in trouble. But then I believe people occasionally mistake full sized sailplane outlandings for crashes (in one case reported a few years back the owner got back to the plane after phoning for the trailer just in time to prevent the FD from covering it in foam to prevent the JP-4 from catching fire (No, its not got an engine!)).

Re: [RCSE] Gyro question
- Original Message - From: Tom Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] what's the thinking on gyros in DLGs these days? A gyro will probably not increase the maximum launch height of an aileron DLG model that is properly set up and properly thrown. There are some situations where a gyro may help: 1) They may help with polyhedral DLG models. 2) They may make your launches more consistent by fixing problems caused by bad launch technique. 3) They may help a novice who is just learning to throw, once again by fixing a bad throwing technique. As DLG moves more and more to flaperon models and pilots become more and more proficient with the throwing technique you see less and less use of gyros.
