[RCSE] Batteries on Airlines

2008-01-03 Thread jamesathomas
Before this becomes a major crisis, note that this is only about lithium 
batteries.  And it only pertains to loose batteries that are not installed in 
the device they are designed for.  Your laptop, cellphone, iPod, Blackberry and 
other devices are just fine as long as the battery is installed (doesn't work 
too well otherwise).  The concern is the potential for fire if a loose battery 
is shorted by coming into contact with something.  TSA also doesn't seem to 
care about carry on, just checked luggage.  

The other interesting thing is there is no mention of NiCd, NiMH, etc. just 
lithiums.

[RCSE] Challenge...

2008-01-03 Thread schrederman

Well I posted this under Best wishes for 2008... but not too many looked
at it... So here goes :eek: 

For this year, I'd like to issue a challenge to the soaring community.
For 30 years, we've been launching as high as possible, trying to stay
aloft for 10 minutes, and coming down on a spot, carrying a skeg that
many times arrests on the line rather than the ground. That gets old...
in fact it got old a long time ago...  

My challenge is to standardize the American TD winch, including line
strength, and to do away with landing skegs. I also think the
turnaround should be no more than 600' from the launch point. Let's put
some challenge back into this. Flame suit ON!

I recieved my order today and I am VERY dissapointed.
First the total you gave me,$88.97 is not the total charged to my
credit card,$92.62.
Second the balsa sheets are very poor quality. They are not flat, I can
live with that. They are not a smooth surface, that is unacceptable.
Third the sticks were suspended above the sheets which is the most
likely cause of some of them being broken.
This adds up to a lost customer how will let everybody I know what kind
of balsa supplier you are, LOUSEY!!!

I'm not sure there was enought publicity about the first election which
may be partially responsible for the low participation. There is
certainly alot of chatter about the runoff however, here on RCSE, RC
Groups, and local club messages, etc. I'll bet the voter participation
will be much higher this go around.

Re: [RCSE] Servo question

2008-01-03 Thread Skip Miller

Hi Daryl,

I solely fly AIRTRONICS servos, except if I purchase a used airframe.((As an 
O.E.M, I sell them in aircraft as well) I have flown many of  091 servos in 
all sorts of different and complex models. From Hlg, Dlg, aerobatic foamies 
and electrics. I have used over 100 of these in different configurations. My 
latest is in a DS model I market that typically goes 185mph as an 
electric.It has 091's all around.  I have a  mini Ellipse electric  that I 
also run 091's through out, and has  historically been flawless. When 
Airtronics began the quest for development of a small , accurate glider wing 
servo to replace the very popular 141 for sailplanes, we went through many 
iterations that were not as successful  as hoped for unil the  very popular 
761 digital  was released (501,555,556,557 were all some what unsatisfactory 
attempts). In my frustration, I kept saying to the development team.. "why 
can't we make it as good as the 091". I have literally beat on them in the 
hlgs and foamies, and electrics, and never so much as stripped a gear. They 
are reasonably fast for their size, are small,light, and very accurate. I 
have heli buddies who switched from perceived "better servos" in the T Rex 
size helis to all 091's and the digital 761 on tail rotor, and all are 
"converted" from the "popular marketed". Recently , with AIRTRONICS being 
exclusively distributed  by GLOBAL, the price has come down significantly, 
and are now a great value as well. I run these servos on the Topaz spoilers 
.(they won Visalia and Pheonix in the model) With that said, I wouldn't 
"risk" this small servo in a competition unlimited ship on ailerons due only 
to surface area, even if they are split.  My guess, you would be under sized 
for the application you describe. Also the long  servo arm is not strong 
enough for your application. I'd take the weight hit and put in 761's all 
around and launch it and land it in nomal competition fashion. On my web 
site I have stated for years that the 091 servo  and 515 Airtronics Rx 
is"AIRTRONICS best kept secret"... that message still stands. The Airtronics 
091 servo  is great in the realm for which it was desi gned .


Good luck,

Skip

Subject: [RCSE] Servo question



Hey guys,

Quick question for those of you servo experts. I fly solely Airtronics
equip - servos, radios, receivers... I don't pay attention to any other
manufacturers products. My Stalker utilizes a 6 servo wing. 761's are
good for the flaps, but for the 4 ailerons, 761's are overkill. I can
use them, and they'll fit, but I don't want to carry the extra weight.
Airtronics has a 94091Z Super Microlite Servo. The torque ratings are
fine for my purpose. Does anyone have experience with these? Centering?
Gear train? Etc??? What other servo from any other manufacturer in this
size and weight might you guys recommend and why?

For reference:
Weight: 0.32 ounces
Size:0.91 x 0.44 x 0.87
Torque (6V): 23 In oz.
Speed 60deg (6V): 0.10
