Frames? I don't use them... they're heavy, they add
weight.

I can't remember the last time I had to change out a
servo.

Frames seem to be the majority vote. I think I will go with them on my
next glider (I glued the servos in my Extreme last spring when I
switched to molded gliders and decided then that there had to be a
better way). Thanks for all the advice.

[RCSE] FS: 2 meter NOVA

2006-02-28 Thread Bill Johns
Molded 2 meter.  MH32 airfoil.  I've got maybe 8 launches on it, in  
like-new condition. I'll sell it with or without servos.


Airframe alone $200.

Wing has 4 new to this plane JR 368's, stab has a Volz minimax,  
rudder a Hitec 81mg.  $400 with servos.  Here all you'll need to do  
is drop in a Rx and battery pack and launch.


I'm long on 2 meter planes and need some cash.

Cheers,

Bill

[RCSE] Grand Esteem - Mike Popescu??

2006-02-28 Thread WSnowfall


I know a lot of west coast flyer used to fly this plane in the late 90 when i bought it. Still have Team Mako pictures in an old RCSD.
 
I have an Esteem model 3194. It is the 120 inch wing. I bought it for electric and it was sent with a full flying composite stab. No problem there BUT I also got a second body for thermal, it is a T tail. No details on size and airfoil. 
 
Can anyone make me a composite T tail or send me the specs, or rip it off an old basement model? Any cost involved i am willing to pay. thanks
 
Since the company closed I have been trying to track down Mike, someone said he is now in florida. Any leads?

[RCSE] Re: Gluing Servos v.s. Servo Frames

2006-02-28 Thread Jo Grini
Frames Though I have been using tape and epoxy with micro baloons a lot. 
Sometimes there is no space for the frames.
A good tip is to wrap some kevlar thread around the frame before you glue it 
in. Then you can cut the kevlar and use the frame one more time.
If you dont use the kevlar you will either need the epoxy to go around the 
edge of the frame or rub up the plastic of the frame a bit so the epoxy 
glues well.


I have tested goop a bit on some servos and untill now it has hold up.

Anyhow the most slop in models is that the skin is too soft.
First of all put a layer of carbon or glassfiber in there (preferably carbon 
offcourse). Some producers have done this for you.
What really helps is to join the upper and lower skin with some small pieces 
of balsa.


Now build that model and get in the air

Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Looking for opinions from people with more molded glider experience.
Which is better? Gluing a servo directly to the wing using
epoxy/balloon mix or gluing a servo frame and then mounting the servo
in the frame. Does the frame approach cause more slop from servo
movement or is it more secure? I like being able to remove the servo
but I can do that with both approaches (granted it is easier with a
frame). I guess I am looking for the most secure or precise approach.

Re: [RCSE] Gluing Servos v.s. Servo Frames

2006-02-28 Thread Bill Swingle

You have to be right on when using the direct glue method.


Yes you do!!

I've just finished a CR Climmax HLG. However, when I began I forgot to take 
off my "foamie combat wing" hat and began by just trying to "slam" it 
together. I glued the first servo very securely without thinking hard 
enough. I chose poorly and the plane has payed the price.


Currently I'm a big advocate of the frames.

Re: [RCSE] Gluing Servos v.s. Servo Frames

2006-02-28 Thread inventorforhire
I use volz servo frames when possible.  No slop.  I used goop to glue the 
frame in when there's no foam to eat.  When I use just the servo, I run tape 
around it and glue it in.  Definitely the servo frame is easier to use, 
especially when adjusting servo arms.  You have to be right on when using 
the direct glue method.
