I doubt seriously that plans for the Highlander exist, except for the 
owner of the design. Its been out of production for a few years now, which 
is too bad. The EPP airplane boom of a few years ago has fizzled a little, 
a lot guys making them, have stopped. There are, however, some 
alternatives that are still in production:


DAW 1-26 2m glider:


NE Sail Defiant: 

Mountain Toys Gentle Foamy (though website says sold out): 



There may be more, these are what I'm aware of.

I have experience with the DAW 1-26 2m. I learned to fly with several of 
Dave Sander's airplanes, some off highstarts but mostly on the slope. They 
were always really nice airplanes. Back when they were both in production 
there were a lot of debates about which was the better airplane, the DAW 
1-26 2m or the MAD Highlander. I remember the consensus was that the 
Highlander performed slightly better as a thermal glider and that the 1-26 
slightly better on the slope. Hope this helps a little.

Yes, some folks have had some initial difficulties setting up their own

But the product support has been terrific so far, and people are loving

See my thread at:

All new products have some problems when exposed to people and

to hook up many different transmitters, including computer transmitters,
adds a whole nother dimension to the challenge. My DX6 Tx is working
just fine with FSOne.

[RCSE] Sombra rx

[tony estep]

I got a new Sombra programmable rx (www.sombralabs.com) from Barry Kennedy 
today.

It's a double-conversion PPM unit that doesn't have a crystal; you program it 
to the desired channel with an external gizmo that plugs in, does its job, and 
then unplugs.

The rx itself is a tiny board (8 grams) with the necessary connectors, an 
inductor potted in plastic to look sort of like a bypass capacitor, and 
(apparently)  three ICs. One seems to be the front end/mixer, one (possibly) 
handles the two IFs, and one is a DSP chip. I'm guessing, of course, but I 
think that's it.

The front end is hugely broad; my rx can be programmed across both the 50 and 
53 mhz r/c frequencies, which sounds a bit alarming. However, the selectivity 
comes after the front end. Sensitivity is rated at better than 2 microvolts. 
There are no specs regarding adjacent channel rejection or such, so it'll be 
interesting to see what tests we users can do (Tom Hoopes, are you listening?).

All I've done so far is to set it to 53.2 and range check it. Programming is a 
no-brainer, taking only a few seconds: set programmer, plug in, press button, 
remove. The range seems fine. I'll know more when I get it in a plane and give 
it a real try in the presence of other signals.

If it works, it'll be a boon to those who fly on the ham frequencies. Of 
course, Sombra makes it for the 72 mhz band too, but I was particularly 
interested because my supply of ham receivers was interrupted. FMA used to make 
an 8-channel double-conversion rx for ham bands, but discontinued it and makes 
only a 6-ch now -- and it isn't the right 6 channels for my JR10x's 6-servo 
setup. Sombra has also announced a 9-channel xtal version coming next year.

A lot of heavy-duty functions of a receiver can be done with ingenious DSP 
programming; ham transceivers from Icom, Yaesu and Ten-Tec have proved that. So 
even though this little board has no components that look like RF components, 
I'm willing to believe that it'll do the job. If so, it would be a great rx for 
any sailplane application, especially HLG. I'm optimistic. Barry or the sombra 
website can provide more details for those interested.

Re: [RCSE] Re: [SALglider] Flaperon Question - Futaba 9C

[Phil Barnes]

- Original Message - 
From: "David Register" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


I've used landing flaps on the left slider because I have a hard time not 
mixing in a little rudder-flap interaction when they're both on the left 
stick.


If you use the butterfly function to deploy flaps you can set it up so that 
no flap movement happens until the stick moves down beyond a certain point. 
I set the flaps to start coming down at the 85% point (15% below top stick 
position). That prevents the flaps from being inadvertantly deployed during 
normal flying.


As you noted, using 'butterfly' requires an extra switch (A) for landing 
and I've missed that a few times which leads to an awkward situation when 
you're trying to catch.


My "A" switch is always on so the butterfly function is always active. 
That's why I never use my 9C (non super) transmitter. With the 9C you need 
to leave the butterfly mix off during normal flying or the elevator and 
aileron trims will change the mix instead of trimming the elevator and 
ailerons The 9C super has an option to turn that feature off. My 20+ year 
habit of leaving the butterfly mix on causes my 9C transmitter to stay at 
home.


- Aux-Ch Menu: Ch5 = VrD; Ch6 = VrD (not sure if both need to be assigned 
in Glid1F but I'm pretty sure both need to be for Glid2F)

- In the Advanced menu


Thank you for this!! I did learn something new:-) I had not discovered this 
function since I don't look at my 9C transmitter much and the 8U transmitter 
does not have this function or even sliders.


Dave I will study your setup late tonight when I have more time. On first 
glance it looks like if you just drive the flaps and elevator compensation 
with PMIXs then you will have your exact setup except that the mixes will be 
switchable. You may have issues with running out of PMIXs but probably you 
can bump some of your mixes to PMIX6 & PMIX7 so that all 7 PMIXs will be 
available.



   Flap-Trim is inhibited


Normally, when you want to inhibit the flap trim function, you should 
activate it but set the mix percentage to 0%. When flap trim is deactivated, 
you are telling the transmitter program to respond 100% to the flap trim 
knob. When flap trim is activated, you are telling the transmitter program 
to respond by the set percentage to the flap trim knob. This may be 
different with your setup due to the flaperon mode you use or maybe your 
choice of VrD as flap control. Its possible that one of those choices 
automatically inhibits the flap trim function but I'll have to look into 
that later.


   Mix 2 and Mix 3 are assigned Offset as Master with Flap1 and Flap 2 
respectively as slave. This allows offset from center on the slider (~ 
50%)


Which slider are you using for this? VrD or VrE? I'd like to be able to 
match your programming completely.


   Mix 4 assigns Flap1 as master and elevator as slave. This allows a 
2-slope elevator compensation curve with a settable breakpoint.


I thought that only PMIX6 & PMIX7 had multipoint curves. Is your transmitter 
different?


I also don't understand why you want the flap function to be switchable with 
your launch preset switch. Do you always leave the launch preset on until 
the top of the launch? Most launch presets come off at some point during the 
launch phase of flight, often very early after release. Having flaps deploy 
then or even sudden deployment at the top of a launch could be a bad thing 
so I don't see how having landing flaps switchable with the launch preset 
switch solves anything. You need a habit pattern that retracts the flaps at 
the correct time. My habit pattern is to have my left thumb push the left 
stick full forward when beginning the launch. This happens at the same time 
that I am pulling the three position switch full back for the launch preset. 
Both of these things happen with the left hand, I also have the SPEED/START 
switch used for launch presets and it is directly above the left stick.


Phil
