[RCSE] RE: Hinge Tape
I've used Blenderm and the HiLaunch tape on many of my planes. Blenderm's advantage over the HiLaunch tape is weight. Blenderm is much lighter. However, I have noticed that the hinge's center-line seems to wander to one side or the other more with the Blenderm than the HiLaunch tape. just my 2 cents with no scientific basis -- atjurhs atjurhs's Profile: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/member.php?u=68283 View this thread: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106083 RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] Mortgage rates resetting? (off-topic)
Tuan, There is another possibly not so minor aspect to this conversion. If your current loan is an origination loan, it is non-recourse. The conversion is classified as a re-finance, which is a recourse loan. Only an issue if your house declines in value and you try to walk away. The offer of this conversion is an attempt to reduce the likelihood of losses due to foreclosure in areas of declining home values. In some areas, this is (or will be) quite an issue. Joe (now watching the US financial news from Christchurch, New Zealand) >>[RCSE] Mortgage rates resetting? I know this is nothing to do with Sailplanes... well in a way a little bit. If you have an adjustable mortgage that is about to reset and the bank is advising (read scaring) you to convert to a fix, be careful. All the resets I know are resetting at LOWER rates than what you currently have. And the rates you will be locking in are higher. By the time you add on fees to convert you are harming yourself financially. If I had an ajustable rate, I would keep it cause I dont see interests going up any time within the next 1-2 years Just a heads up. this could svae you money and you can spend it on your favorite hobby :). I know citi bank is notorious for this unethical practice. You are welcome to email me for more info and proof. Tuan No Cost - Get a month of Blockbuster Total Access now.

[RCSE] Supra stab mount
H I haven't seen one broken while landing, but my flying buddy, Don Harban, found that the pins in the pivot on his Supra stab mount were loosened and was fortunately able to fix the situation prior to loosing a ship. Another type of problem can occur with these mounts if not enough epoxy is applied between the boom surface under the rearward facing edge of the ring portion of the mount. I'm thinking that maybe some "failures" might have occurred due to either of these situations? I keep an extra mount for each ship (Supra, Ava) because it costs too much to go to an out-of-contest, especially if you suffer damage and can't fly. Anyway, its a good idea to check the pivot after every flight. These ships are getting to be like F1 vehicles in that they are "edgy" and need more maintenance than your average beater. . Just a thought. Best Regards; D.O. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] refunds
APRIL 1st Muncie, IN Can it be true? AMA is to refund membership fees for last 10 years? Additionally, Life members (those still living) shall be refunded their "initiation" fee plus interest? According to sources, oil has been discovered on the national AMA site and 12 rigs are pumping as you read this! AMA also plans to install an on-site refinery to enhance profits. AMA also plans to bundle derivatives for those of you who like "sure-thing" investments. A provision of the required transfer of corporate type - "non- "for profit" - requires AMA to refund these fees. Transportation of crude to the site will be via Lake Michigan. A lot of gas will also be piped off the site's pumping station. Expect email from your local representative soon, covering the up and coming IPO. Another source mentioned the possible auctioning-off of the AMA museum's contents by Barrette Jackson's Pooka division. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

This past season, due to slow thumb response at that critical moment of retracting flaps just before touch down, I was bending the flap push rods (bottom hinged, linkage on top of flap, servo arm on bottom of wing.

[RCSE] Fwd: FW: S3 Club letter
Dear R/C Pilots and Friends, The Gamblers Gala Contest that was scheduled for July 12th & 13th 2008 has been cancelled. It was cancelled for numerous reasons. Sierra Silent Soarers club only consists of 16 members. As Im sure you all know, putting on a large two day event takes a lot of effort from everyone, and we just do not have available manpower to conduct an event of this size this year. As in most clubs the membership is made up mostly of senior aged pilots. I turned 70 this year and feel that the amount of work required to run a quality event of this type would be too much of a strain. We are also concerned about the overall economy and the high price of gas which is expected to keep going up. Some of you have to travel a long distance to get here. I and the S3 members very much appreciate your participation in the past years, and we will miss having you come to Nevada and fly with us. I hope to see you at one or more of the other events in California this year. Sincerely, Lee Cox CD Sierra Silent Soarers PS: Again I / We are very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you with your travel plans for this season. Many Happy Landings. - - You rock. That's why Blockbuster's offering you one month of Blockbuster Total Access, No Cost.
Re: [RCSE] Aileron & Flap Carbon Fiber Pushrods
I haven't had first hand experience with carbon pushrods but I would guess that you could also run the risk of stripping a servo with a stiffer linkage if you failed to retract the flaps on landing again. It's cheaper to replace or fix the pushrod instead of a wing servo.

Re: [RCSE] Aileron & Flap Carbon Fiber Pushrods
I think that the concerning issue is your response time on the flaps. Almost everyone who owns a contest sailplane has been here and failed to retract the flaps in time. I use carbon push rods as do most of the contest pilots these days. I don't think there is an obviously less damaging choice between carbon or metal push rods. The fact is that if you fail to pull up the flaps you should expect damage in one form or another and its usually in the flap linkage connections. I would not expect a reprieve from this damage in your choice of push rod material. Use an elastic on your flap stick if you can't get into better form on your flaps.
