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?

2006-01-17 Thread Jo Grini

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

2006-01-17 Thread Rick Eckel

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

[RCSE] carbon boom interference, Ham guy inputs.

2006-01-17 Thread Douglas, Brent
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.

2006-01-17 Thread junk1
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...

2006-01-17 Thread martinusher
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.

It is close enough. You should not notice any

I agree with Phil Barnes that most aileron models 
do not need one, but I also agree that it helps avoid those "banana" 
launches. So for a young, well coordinated person like yourself, you 
should do well without it. But for an erratic old fart like myself, I am

RE: [RCSE] F3J Junior Team Manager

2006-01-17 Thread Mark Howard
FYI,
If you don't know Bob -- he has participated in three US team selections; the 
last time as assisting CD. 
He knows F3J and he knows how to run a team. He has great organization and 
communication skills. 
I  think he would be an excellent choice for jr team manager.

Hi Everyone,

Some of you will soon be getting a letter from AMA to nominate the Junior
Team Manager. The Junior Team decided to select Bob Vixie to be our team
manager, but did not know we would not be allowed to decide for our self's.
Because of this I would like to encourage you to nominate Bob Vixie when you
vote. Bob Vixie was one of the CDs at the F3J Team Selections, and would be
a great asset to the team.


Thanks,

Cody Remington
Junior F3J Team Member
