[RCSE] Trade?

2006-05-27 Thread Michael Conte
I have a Hornet micro helicopter with fixed pitch main rotor blades that I've lost interest in.  If you've ever contemplated getting into helicopters this is a great way to start.  Here's what I have:

FP Hornet (minus canopy), 
3 Cirrus CS-10 servos (installed), 
1 Cirrus MPG-10 Gyro (installed), 
extra Cirrus MPG-10 Gyro, 
Carbon main blades (installed), 
New (less than 5 battery runs) Graupner Speed 300 motor (installed)
speed control for brushed motors
aluminum tail pitch slider (installed), 
aluminum 90/120 degree swash plate (installed), 
3 NiMh batteries (2 8 cell 720mAh and 1 7 cell 700mAh)
Ms Composit mini charger for NiMh and Nicad batteries
Bag of extra parts (extra metal main rotor shaft, drive gears, bearings, plastic swash plates, tail fin, collars, decals, instructions)

I have over $500 tied up in this thing and it's just collecting dust.  The upgrades I've added make this very stable and easy to hover.  That's all I've done with it is hover about one foot off the ground with training gear (not included)  I'd like to trade for it for any of the following:

speed 400 pylon racer
JR digital servos
JR 700 or 770 receiver
Ellipse/Escape ballast set or any Ellipse/Escape parts
F3B winch
Bungie for launching open class planes
2M Image
Psyko/Schpotdorker
Sailplane bag
F3B plane
small electric sailplane
slope plane
DLG kit
or let me know what you have.

The Oly 650 is a nice small sailplane, three piece wing , easy to transport. 
Slope  or thermal, flies very well.   But you have to build it!!

I see it now, the suggestions are going to keep escalating to higher-performing and more expensive planes. Forgetting that the user is going to be   a youngster   first-timer.   And suggesting slope oriented planes for thermalling seems weird to me.   Not that it's impossible, but because it makes little sense to me in the context of the target user.   Very inexperienced newbies I know of tend to need lightweight gasbag planes, and preferably poly ships that are as stable as possible.   You guys seem to forget that most of you are elite flyers and high performance ships are your normal stock in trade.   I work the lower end myself, and am quite happy with 2-meter   2-channel poly floaters with inexpensive gear. I think that that direction is a good one for beginners as well.   If you put an EPP nose on a Gentle Lady fuse and traded the GL wing for one with an EPP leading edge, carbon tube spar and main cores of styrene, I think you'd have my perfect trainer.

indestructible.  ;-)


Anyway  I still have my second one.  It's beat up, but still  
flies and would be a good plane for a beginner.  It has full flaps  
and ailerons.  Comes with all servos, no battery or Rx.  Free to a  
good home, you cover shipping.  Now here's the deal.  I do have a box  
that someone sent me a 2M wing in.  It's plywood and I'd have to cut  
the tailfeathers off the fuse, but gluing them back on shouldn't be a  
big deal.  I've no idea how much it would cost to send that box  
anywhere, it's not all that heavy, just big.  If interested contact  
me off line and let's see if we can work something out.


No, I'm not gonna give it to someone just so they can rip the servos  
out, I do want to get it to a beginner or better yet, some club that  
wants to use it as a trainer for raw newbies.  (It'd be a great slope  
plane for beginners to learn how to use all those control surfaces.)


Obviously if you can come by my digs and just pick it up, great, I  
can still use the box as a jello mold.

Hey now,
While I'd have to admit the "Easy star" is a fine beginners model
(with the rudder modification) Why not go with the "Easy Glider?"
They make both a "pure" glider, and an electric version. It even has
ailerons and is as easy to fly as the Easy Star. You don't even need to do
the rudder mod...

[RCSE] Albuquerque F5J World Challenge

2006-05-27 Thread DENDKN



Sailplane Enthusiasts:
 
How about some Man-on-Man precision duration sailplane 
competition where up to 12 contstants launch and land into the 
wind?
 
The Albuquerque Soaring Association is pleased to announce our 
annual Albuquerque F5J World Challenge.  Details are available at this 
address:
 
http://www.soarabq.org/f5j_wc_2006/f5j_main.shtml
 
We are also pleased to introduce the new F5J Outrunner 
Class that is cost competitive with Speed 400 Class sailplane power 
systems.  Brushless outrunner motors provide much more reliable 
and more efficient power.  With the same sailplane and 
battery, a 30 second Outrunner moror run is usually more than equivalent 
with a 60 second Speed 400 motor run.
 
Please note that we have changed the dates for the 
Albuquerque F5J World Challenge previously held in October, to September to 
avoid morning ground fog sometimes present.
 
Any Questions?

The EasyStar (54 inch) is much smaller than The EasyGlider (71 inch).
Both made by Hitec / Multiplex
EasyGlider does come in a  Electric or glider versions only.

EasyStar   http://www.hobby-lobby.com/easystar.htm
Review   http://www.rcgroups.com/links/index.php?id=4728

I've witnessed the one in the review.
It handles so well that the local club members now has over a dozen of the
glider versions for aero-tow and same plane design contests.

The Easy is design for thermal duration and is a "floater" because of that.
That is what beginners need.
If you want a glider to penetrate, you will need a higher performance
glider. Either heavier or faster airfoil. Neither is desired for a
"beginner."

[RCSE] Re: Beginner Sailplane recommendation

2006-05-27 Thread Jeff Thompson




How about something from californiasailplanes.com

Their Eraser 60 performs very well and is easy to build.  With more
effort, their Redback 60" sailplane performs great and is very sleek
for a foamie.  Finally their U2 is a fast performer, though requires
more wind than the Redback or Eraser 60.

Who says foam doesn't perform?

If you'd like something scale that still flies very well, check out
leadingedgegliders.com  which has gliders in a range from 48" to 72",
and I can attest that they fly very well in a wide range of wind
speeds.  You can even have them expertly shape the fuselage for a small
additional charge.

I would recommend an EPP foam glider like these over Graupner's easily
broken 'Elapor' foam gliders.  Learning to fly is a lot more fun when
your mistakes don't end the day's flying or require frequent field
repairs.  Besides, these planes will fly much better than the Easy
Glider.

I have assembled and flown both Easy Star and Easy Glider (non-motorized

As was mentioned by Ed Anderson, Easy Glider does not penetrate well
unless it is ballasted and a hefty nose weight added.  I put 2 inch long
steel rod pieces in the spar tube and another couple of ounces in the nose
to make it penetrate on the slope.

For Easy Star, a beginner is likely to corkscrew the plane unwittingly.  I
helped a friend recover from one and the wing broke at the end of the
spar.  A length of fiberglass tape from the wing root to over the curved
wingtip edge solved this weakness.  I also like to dive the Easy Star full
throttle on a brushless motor and found the horizontal stab lose authority
in recovering from steep dives, resulting in my Easy Star taking a dunk in

[RCSE] where to donate model magazines in LA?

2006-05-27 Thread John








I’m sure you want the Model magazines to go to some place they will be
appreciated. Please consider your local hospitals and nursing homes. I
volunteer at the local hospital and I can assure you that they will appreciate
them. So many times people have time to wait at a hospital and magazines can
help them get focused on something other than the problems that they may be
confronting them. We recycle all kinds of things but all of the magazines
(model or otherwise) go to good use helping others at local hospitals or
nursing homes.
