6 months!  That's good, my SBXC sat unused for 23 months, 3 weeks.

See you at the NATS!

I signed up for it, no idea what to expect, but it was an opportunity to
fly a ship that would sit in the garage another 6 months without this
event.

Re: [RCSE] Muncie Weather?

2006-07-20 Thread tom
As someone who has never been involved with power planes, I got here a day
early and figured I watch some power stuff.  Never realized that Pattern
flying meant everyone does the same thing over and over and over, etc. for
three days.  It rained some today, so it cooled off a bit.  Lots of big
storms to the North.

 Temperature at my flying field in Oklahoma was 106 today and heading
 higher tomorrow. Not enough Gatorade in the world to take much more of
 that!
 Looking forward to those balmy high '80s in Muncie this weekend!

Hey if any you guys are interested, I would be more than happy to keep your 
Cross Country Ships exercised for you.  It just is not right to make any 
sailplane set idle for a year or more.  I have my LSF Level IV and V Goal and 
Returns to do so I could even exercise them in their own element.  Just a 
thought.

See Ya,

2006-07-20 Thread gjoy
 I been here since July 3rd. It has been so full of RC fliers that getting 
to fly was almost impossible even though open flying was available after each 
days contest, the contestants would all fly till dark.
 So today I got the chance to fly my new Vandal. the workmanship on this 
modeol is second to none, and it seem to fly VERY well, I'll find out more 
tomorrow during the HLG contest, but I like what I see :-)
C U All soon

[RCSE] PCM vs FM in Sailplanes,,,HUGE advantages!

2006-07-20 Thread GordySoar



The long and the short of it is that FM/PCM has advantages 
over FM. 

I never thought that PCM had any advantage over just plain old 
FM, until I got a PCM RXfrom the first moment of powering up it seems I 
can't get less than perfect task times, I don't mean that I get around 10minutes 
occasionally, I get 10mins every time, and right on the second!

With the help of PCM I now hit hundreds so precisely that the 
nose of my plane is getting damaged from the top of the nail in the ground 
holding the tape!

Before with just plain old FM I'd be flying my sailplanes 
somewhere in the world, and they'd just like fly around and sort of land, it 
would happen over and over and over and over etc.

But now with PCM, well, what else can I say, its clear that PCM 
has advantages over FM.

Hope that clears things up for all you have been 
wondering.

Some will say that PCM is better and more reliable.  I can neither confirm
or dispute this point as I have not used PCM receivers.  I will point you to
a couple of articles that discusses PCM, how it works and their opinion
of the advantages.
