[RCSE] LiPo's on a Plane
Hi, A while back someone was asking about policies for taking batteries on a plane. Seems the DOT is clamping down a bit on the number of batteries we're allowed to carry-on: In summary: * Any number in devices (e.g. in your cell, laptop, etc.) * "Loose" batteries not in devices must be in a plastic bag in the carry-on * 2 "loose" only per passenger That's my understanding anyway. http://www.gadling.com/2007/12/28/next-week-batteries-banned-from-checked-luggage/s Cheers, Peer RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Re: New Supra Info
Daryl, Here's an email I got some time ago from one of my East European friends with a full description of the changes Vladimir made to some of his models...I posted it on bayrc.com but forgot to post it here. I changed the order so the Supra info is first. It looks like the hot setup is the Supra Carbon / Glass Light :-) Craig Dear friends, A year of hard work yielded a number of exciting new products we are happy to offer to you for Christmas: 3. Supra's ailerons became longer, they are now available across the full length of the wings tip section. 4. Wings tip of Supra Glass have been redesigned, which reduced their weight by 7...8 grams (0.25...0.28 oz)--now, they are 18...20 grams (0.6...0.7 oz) lighter than the wing tips of Supra Carbon Light. The new design also resulted in the greatly increased strength of the ailerons. In our opinion, the best combination for F3J competition is a model with the central wing section from Supra Carbon or Supra Carbon Light and the wing tips from Supra Glass. We call this combo "Supra Carbon/Glass Light". 1. DLG Blaster2 is now also offered for left hand launch! When placing an order, you can add a note which version, left- or right-handed, you would like (by default, we ship right-handed version). 2. Graphite 2 is now manufactured with a new nose section for electric power system. The new nose is much safer and more convenient: http://www.airplane-model.com/graphite2e.html Yours sincerely, Vladimir Gavrilko. (c) Vladimir's Model - 2007 www.airplane-model.com
[RCSE] Good guy (and cool plane) alert
Hey guys, It was quiet... a little too quiet... ;-) Last week I rec'd my newest Supra from Barry Kennedy. They continually upgrade their kit. The ailerons now go all the way to the tips. I don't have anything to compare weight, but Barry said the tips are about 1 ounce lighter per side. Torsionally, they seem better than my last Supra. The fuse is 2.4 ghz friendly, and is about 1 1/2 ounces lighter than my last one. The center panel has the wires installed. (So a dry weight comparison wouldn't really be fair). There are even neat little templates included to appropriately set the TE. Oh, and a machined ballast kit I plan on using this model to represent the US at the next F3J world champs. I'll post an AUW when I'm done. I don't do anything special during the build to save weight. I just build them out. Thanks Barry!!! In my opinion, the best TD/F3J model available anywhere today. And before you ask, yes, I pay for them. See ya'll in Phoenix!!!

[RCSE] LSF Club Coordinator of the Year (2006-2007)
To: Lennart Andersson (LSF Country Coordinator, Sweden) and RC Soaring Enthusiasts Worldwide! When dealing with a large group of volunteers in any type of organization its always rewarding to notice a few individuals who rise to the top without much guidance or supervision. Right from the start they understand the mission and get the job done while making it look easy. As Secretary of LSF for the past two years (2006-2007), I have been impressed with the efforts of Lennart Andersson, LSF Country Coordinator for Sweden. Through his encouragements and personal involvement, during just the past two years, Lennart helped a number of soaring pilots in Sweden become involved in LSF and begin their personal LSF journey. LSF records indicate: 24 individuals began as new LSF Aspirants 10 pilots completed Level 1 and became new LSF Members 5 finished LSF Level 2 And a number of people who use to be involved in LSF have renewed their interest in LSF This is outstanding work and the LSF Board would like to express our thanks for your tireless efforts on behalf of LSF. To recognize your outstanding volunteer contributions, The League of Silent Flight Board has conferred upon Lennart Andersson (LSF #3448) the title of Club Coordinator of the Year (2006-2007). We are sending you a specially engraved LSF glass mug which will be shipped to you in January. Congratulations Lennart! Bill Rakozy Secretary League of Silent Flight On Behalf of the 2006-2007 LSF Board: Tom Kallavang, President Larry Story, Vice President Bill Rakozy, Secretary Steve Siebenaler, Treasurer RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
