Re: [RCSE] getting started in RC soaring
I think there are fewer builders and a lot of ARFs because there is a market for it. It's just economics. The best builders produce and sell kits or planes. If the demand is not met more builders step in or you build one yourself. It's just pure business. Many don't hone their building skills because they are actively making money at their job/business so they can enjoy the little spare time they have. Seems here in USA we are putting in more hours at work than our ancestors. If everyone was a builder there would be no buyers, the builder would not get better because they could not afford to make a lot of planes. I think the laws of commerce are working fine in the soaring community. Steve At 11:43 AM 1/26/2006, Phil Barnes wrote: ...

RE: [RCSE] Re: Wood Crafters / Builders etc.
I agree that ARFs have their place in our hobby, especially for those of us that have the 8 to 5 jobs. I have to admit that I do like the spirit of events like Woodcrafters, if only in that it keeps the building segment of our hobby invigorated. That being said, it would be nice to at least recognize the builders - maybe not seperate events or contests, but maybe a seperate award? Top Fly what you Built and a package of 30 minute epoxy as a prize? Sort of serious there. Still fly and compete with the rest, just an acknowledgment of the craftsmanship. I guess I'm really looking for a way to encourage fliers or guests that only see the expensive side of the hobby. It's much easier to sell soaring if you can point out a $100 ship as a way to try us out; most people I've talked to sort of zone out when you say a ship cost $1,000 bucks without servos. It's an especially hard sell if they're standing there with a 12 year-old son or daughter that's the one interested. Maybe that's part of why it's easier to get new slopers out?

Hi Phil, Under the pressure tab, you can convert kg/cm^2 to lb/ft^2.

Re: [RCSE] getting started in RC soaring
The underlying point Steve is making is about specialization. You may be a slow builder, but you can make money fast in your profession. Despite all the modern conveniences - broadband communications, pervasive road networks, fast computers, etc., we have less free time now than ever before. The pressures on our personal time were never greater. It makes sense to create wealth in the most efficient way and write checks for everything else. Everyone has their own priorities for their free time and some may prefer to spend more time building than flying.

Re: [RCSE] convert this please
The question I meant to ask was how to use the little conversion program to do conversions that were not already on the menu. Someone was kind enough to respond off list so I'll repeat the information here; Click on options at the top of the window, then click on preferences. Then click on custom. You type the conversion into that window and then when you click on custom on the regular menu you will see the custom conversions that you have typed in. The conversions that you need for the question that Rich asked about are; 1 gram per decimeter squared = .327123 ounces per foot squared 1 decimeter squared = 15.50003 inches squared I already knew how to do the conversions manually as evidenced by my earlier post reprinted below: - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] At soaringusa.com, the ThermicXL is listed with 81.7 dm squares and 36.7 grams/ dm square.

Re: [RCSE] convert this please
Hi Phil, Under the pressure tab, you can convert kg/cm2 to lb/ft2. Since kg/cm2 is g/m2, multiply the result by 16, and you have oz/ft2 I have an Excel spreadsheet that I can post as well that does a couple of other things for electric fliers and wing loading. Dan Phil Barnes wrote: The question I meant to ask was how to use the little conversion program to do conversions that were not already on the menu. Someone was kind enough to respond off list so I'll repeat the information here; Click on options at the top of the window, then click on preferences. Then click on custom. You type the conversion into that window and then when you click on custom on the regular menu you will see the custom conversions that you have typed in. The conversions that you need for the question that Rich asked about are; 1 gram per decimeter squared = .327123 ounces per foot squared 1 decimeter squared = 15.50003 inches squared I already knew how to do the conversions manually as evidenced by my earlier post reprinted below: - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] At soaringusa.com, the ThermicXL is listed with 81.7 dm squares and 36.7 grams/ dm square. Can someone tell me what that would be in square feet . 81.7 square decimeters = 1266 square inches. 36.7 grams per square decimeter = 12.0 ounces per square foot. Eventually I want to figure the wing loading at different all up weights . 1266 square inches = 8.79 square feet. 12 ounces per square foot multiplied by 8.79 square feet = 105 ounces. The manufacturer must be assuming 105 ounces to get their listed wing loading. To check wing loadings for different weights you just need to divide your weight in ounces by 8.79 square feet to get your wing loading in ounces per square foot.

It was very popular here in South OC, where Mark lives, in the early 90's. It was famous at Kite Hill in Laguna Niguel. It went out of fashion as other better designs came along. They have been out of production for at least a decade. Mark is a car guy now. I think he is still in OC however. I had a couple (since I only lived 5 minutes from Kite Hill back then) but never really liked it much. WEM RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Insurance Question
Has anyone really read the insurance policy from Westchester on the AMA site? According to the verbage there is a $250,000 Self Insured Retention. The verbage "Self Insured Retention" is a fancy way of saying "Deductible". I know I certainly couldn't afford a deductible this high and I realize some damage would or could be covered under my home owners policy but how protected are we? So does anyone know where in the 57 pages of the liability policy where it states something different? Thanks--Glenn W.Tri-Cities, Wa Do you Yahoo!?
