"Has anyone used P.L.Daniel's method of using 
laminating film for covering a built-up plane?"
He has allot of articles on building on his web site.
He also talks about using Hot Glue for gluing  carbon fiber to spares. ??

RE: [RCSE] High End!

2007-12-14 Thread Ed Jett
Probably the fuse on FS sailplanes would have thinned down a lot over the
years except for the fact that the "servos" and "control system" have not
gotten any smaller over time like they have in our RC planes.

Subject: [RCSE] High End!


I thought the High End looked pretty good..
But since it's an F3J glider, I didn't expect the fuse to look like anything
but thin.  The thing to appreciate is the wing.
That's the tool, that is what we are flying, and it's the part that changes
the most. 
Look at a full scale glider.. The fuse really hasn't changed much. But the
wings have gone through some big changes over the years. As it did with
model glider's.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
Some pilots really don't care what they look like, as long it does the job.
And wins contests. For some pilots, it's all about looks!
It's the same with the flying characteristic's. Some gliders are exciting to
fly, Some are boring. Like the Pike Perfect. It's like an old Emerald in
it's prime.. It really does the job. But isn't very exciting to fly. When I
fly for fun, I want more excitement. More lively performance.  But in
competition, I use what will work in the conditions I am faced with. I have
a couple of Sharon's, A Pike Perfect, and a Espada RL! I think I am covered!
Now if our daily temperatures would get above 40, and some of this snow
would go away, I could actually fly!!!
I hate winter! 
Merry Christmas!

[RCSE] Good Guy Alert

2007-12-14 Thread Tom Nagel
Guys:

I bounced my Sirius Pro charger off the concrete floor; it still worked, 
sort of, but was a little flakey.  It had definitely slid down the scale a bit 
from "JR Spektrum" toward "Used Air Hog" in terms of reliability.

So I emailed George Joy at Peak Electronics, and he said ship it on out.  
He had it back in a week or 10 days all fixed up at a minimal cost.  Thanks 
George.

Re: [RCSE] Solenoids

2007-12-14 Thread George
The failures were on 2 different winches.  All winches are Tim McCann 
winches, all have Cole Hersee solenoids.  The only difference is one winch 
has a Ford 6V motor, the other has an Injoy 6V motor (not the new ones).  We 
run with 12v batteries.  We have replaced the solenoids with the same Cole 
Hersee part number.  All have worked.  When you are launching a full house 
Unlimited sailplane you would lug the motor down so we know this is not the 
case.  I'm not knocking Cole Hersee solenoids,  before these 2 incidences we 
have not had a single failure.

Are all the failures on the same winch?

Re: [RCSE] Solenoids

2007-12-14 Thread Phil Barnes
I have maintained the Eastern Soaring League winches for several years. The 
one thing I've never had to replace an any of the four winches are the 
solenoids. There was one time when it appeared that there was a solonoid 
failure. Upon closer examination, it was just a loose connection that had 
begun to arc and eventually lose all electrical connection. The solenoid was 
fine, I just had to clean and tighten the connection to the solenoid.

Re: ***SPAMTAGPTD: [RCSE] Solenoids

2007-12-14 Thread Jeff Steifel
George, when installing the solenoids you must use 2 wrenches. One to 
keep the lugs from turning (it has a nut on the lug), the other to 
tighten the nut.

Do you know if that was done?

Re: [RCSE] Fw: Laminating Filem

2007-12-14 Thread TJB
Yes. Laminating film is very thin and not very tough.  You can cover planes 
with it.   It's easy to get at any large format print shop.  They often have 
roll ends that they can't use because they aren't long enough.


I use clear adheasive backed carpet covering from Lowes to cover plans with. 
It also keeps the mats in my truck clean. Uhaul also sells it:
