[RCSE] Blue Skies Over Texas (DLG)
Summaries of the DLG contest at Southfork this weekend are posted at: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=470439highlight=blue+skies This was the first leg of the Blue Skies Challenge (Texas-New Mexico). Conditions were tough on Sunday but a very well run and enjoyable contest with some incredible flying both days. The flyoff was one of the best slugfests I've seen at a DLG event. Some really kick-a** flying from all of the top guys. Dwain Carter took first, Austin Williams second and Aradhana Singh Khalsa third but it was anybodys game right up to the last launch of the last round. If you missed this one, you missed a really great experience. Next one is Blue Skies Over New Mexico at Moriarty on May 20-21 (Aradhana CD) Thanks to Tim Bennett (CD) and the Soaring League of North Texas for hosting a really fine weekend event. Tim and the club's hard work to sponsor this contest, and DLG development in the region, is really appreciated. - Dave R. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] Re: Initial CG on a scratch ship...
Thanks to all that gave me info on coming up with the CG last week - much appreciated. A couple overlapping techniques, a couple great links (now bookmarked), and a lot of experience brought to bear really helped. End result was a successful maiden and a still healthy ship. For those of you that threw out a number, 3 back from the LE seemed to be pretty darn close. That translated into a lead plug about the size of a small coffee cup (with a hole in it for the tow release). Again, the quick replies here were (are) much appreciated - shots of the maiden take off are at http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=453840page=2pp=15 DARTS aerotow shots to follow when I get to more friendly computer.

[RCSE] Air Hog Air Ace TX and other mod link
http://www.eflightwiki.com/eflightwiki/index.php?title=Silverlit_X-Twins_Airhogs_AeroAce#planes_made_from_xtwin.2Faeroace_electronics Things like seperating the steering from the throttle and dual rates are found here to upgrade your Aero Ace's. Best is to remove the bottom wing completely and then it flys great. Could use about 3/16" down incidence in the tail boom too :-)Gordy For when you are waiting for the winch to get set up :-)

[RCSE] Anyone have a Model 20 Retreiver for sale?
Hi guys, A friend in Brazil is looking for a retriever for his club. Getting the big wheel auto retriever down there is too big ofa deal , so I figured the Model 20 would be a great option..considering they have never used a retriever in their lives :-) I know they'll have to make a winch with our kind of brake system on it too, since their winchs are the F3B style with no way to let line out without freewheeling into a snarl.

[RCSE] Super AVA Nears Completion, City Officials File Ecology Suit!
Religious fanatics and Environmentalists are up in arms, as are some sun worshippers, all claiming that the because of the huge transparent square area of the Super AVA's wing, that the impact on the Louisville environment could be drastic! Some clam that the wing passing in front of the sun and its rays passing thru the wing's covering will cause the very earth to burn to lava. Weirdo fanatics say that the eclipse caused will drive many crazy, causing them to boycott Aruba and Kentucky Fried Chicken...or worse! One weatherman predicted that the current gas price raise is the Middle East's reaction, thinking that the Super AVA is some trick to create a new solar energy source. Me? I think its gonna be a blast to fly :-) Just got to hook up the spoiler linkages...I have decided on the ball link system...and I yes I have done the Gene Hays Split Spoiler system...9 1/2" from either end. You?GordyLouisville tomorrow

To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I heard today in the news that some scientists want to make a huge glass disc positioned between the sun and the earth to slow global warming. Perhaps they could just use a Super AVA? They're just gonna screw up the glass disc like they did the Hubble mirror and it'll fry us like so many ants of my childhood.
