[RCSE] Bubble Dancer
Gary, I don't know how the EZBD stacks up against the AVA, but I have heard good reports from happy owners. It seems that Denny has put together a very nice kit. From what I understand the EZBD builds to about 43 ounces. Light for a 3M plane but about 12 ounces heavier than Mark Drela's Bubble Dancer. I understand the AVA comes in around 39 ounces. I am about to find out how a plans built BD flies. Five members of the Long Island Silent Flyers are going to build Bubble Dancers this winter. One of our accomplished builders, Phil Abatelli, is going to take the rest of us through the build. Phil and Rob Sabatini, another LISF member, have made up the materials list and placed the order. When the materials arrive, Phils is going to show the rest of it how it is done. Frankly I am not much of a builder so I hope I have not taken on too much. If not for Phil's guidance, I would never dream of doing this, But I love the Bubble Dancer and always wanted one. Before I had my first sailplane, while I was still learning to fly my Aerobird, I timed for Mark Drela in an Eastern Soaring League contest. I had no idea who he was, but he had this really cool looking plane called the Bubble Dancer. Everyone else was flying full house bagged wing and molded planes. Mark's was this build-up beauty. As I watched him fly this beautiful plane I was convinced that the plane defied gravity. I fell in love with it on the spot. Over the years I have watched Mark hand throw his BD into lift and sky it out during warm-ups before Eastern Soaring League contests. There has not been a lot of RES flying at our club lately. The new guys typically start on Easy Gliders these days. A few of us have Spirits and occasionally an older RES plane comes out, but RES has really fall by the wayside. However with 5 new Bubble Dancers being built this winter, people are talking about RES again in a big way. A couple of people are talking about getting 3M RES ARFs. This could turn into a monthly club RES class contest. That would be fun. Hopefully this spring I will be reporting on the maiden flight of a gravity defying Bubble Dancer. I have no dream that it will finish as light as Mark's, but if it comes in under under 38 ounces, I will be very pleased.

Polecat Aero kits the EZ Bubble Dancer. From what I have read it should be vary close in performance.
[RCSE] So, having read the 2.4 Articles in this Month's RCSD, What's your 2.4 opinion?
I really appreciated the information on Advanced Range Testing. While I've had mostly good luck (yes - it really is 'luck') with 72MHz, the expense and horror stories of 2.4 have kept me away. With this article, a realistic analysis process seems possible which would address the reception problems. Now it's just a matter of expense... -Keith RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

I've raved about them in the past when they were the Super Stand, but Tor Burkhart picked up the stick and made them out of real aircraft ply wood. I carry mine with me all over the world, you'd be hard pressed to find someone who'd say they saw me putting a plane together on the ground. Tor makes the stand only, it has a 1/4x20 insert in the bottom for a camera tripod or home made pipe stake. I just talked to Tor and he has some on hand for anyone wanting to stand up for a change. Comes apart and the pieces fit in the bottom of you Sportube. $69 shipped, I know crazy cheap but that's what it is. Wait and wail. 206 522 0227 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Got questions about it? Ask Tor.

[RCSE] Ingo used a Shadow to win Tangerine Unlimited both days
About 35 pilots tough conditions, windy today from what I heard. Ingo is a really good pilot, who just needed the right plane to match his skills. X tail for one :-) Whipped on some Perfects, likely a JW Onxy and Supras. Congrats Ingo! Gordy **Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.
