Re: [Bulk] [RCSE] The posts that meant the most
I too have been a subscriber from the start. The oldest post in my Humor folder is from November, 1995 and I did not save earlier posts. Early on, I realized that there was a lot of good information from real experts so began saving the technical posts in separate folders. Some of the folders were for aerodynamics, electronics, structures, flutter, humor, soaring history, launch equipment, and one just for Joe Wurts posts. The good technical stuff has vanished from RCSE so it won't be the loss it could have been if RCSE had disappeared 10 years ago. I collected some of the best on aerodynamics and structures into a word document for easy reference and it turned out to be over a hundred pages. RC Groups is a poor substitute for what RCSE has been but I suppose I will have to do with what is available. Chuck Anderson RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Looking for a Futaba Ch 40 module
Most of my planes are on a Futaba 9C super on channel 40. Seems my Ch 40 module is getting a bit flakey. Anyone got one cheap they want to get rid of? If not, I will probably get the synth module to replace it, but I prefer the single channel modules. They use a lot less power.

Re: [RCSE] Looking for a Futaba Ch 40 module
I have two 9C Supers. One has a 2.4 GHz Spectrum module in it and 4 receivers. This handles my slope planes primarily. Over time I will migrate all to this. The other is on 72 MHz. I use both. I am not ready to replace the 12 receivers I have now on 72 MHz. I have ch 35 and 55 modules also, but all my planes are on 40, so for the cost of a channel module I can keep them flying till I migrate all to 2.4 over the next couple of years.

[RCSE] A typical post from the good old days
This is a typical post from the good old days when RCSE was young. But like all of us, RCSE declined with age. This is what made RCSE so great. Now all we get is what is the latest and greatest moldy and who won the last contest. Maybe it is time for RCSE to depart. This was the first of several posts Joe made about dynamic soaring. Chuck Anderson From: Joe Wurts [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 28 May 96 02:35:19 EDT Subject: Dynamic Soaring Status: RO For quite a long time I've heard about dynamic soaring, but have almost never really used it in any operational sense while flying rc gliders. In fact, I've kind of filed it under the Holy Grail category. Just one of those things that you read about. But I've now had a bit of practical experience with it. One of the slopes that I have been flying at has a very pronounced razor back to it (Parker Mountain near Acton CA). What is really neat about it is that the air behind the hill is completely separated. That is, it can be blowing 25 mph on the face, and behind the hill, it is almost calm and sometimes even blowing softly in the opposite direction. It turns out that this is an absolutely perfect set-up for dynamic soaring. All you have to do is fly straight down-wind over the hill into the calm air and turn around. If you want, when you come back over the upwind face, turn around and repeat. With each turn, you get an amazing boost in the energy of the glider.The first time I really played with this was with my Floyd, and on the second go-around I fluttered the wings. The plane will take an extended vertical dive without any possibility of flutter, so I was able to get it to above the terminal velocity of the glider in horizontal flight!!! One thing that is especially wild is when the wind dies down a bit, and you can just stay up in the normal lift in minimum sink mode. Start doing the orbiting for the dynamic soaring and you can get up to about three times the speed that you can when you just fly in the normal slope lift. Wild stuff. What really gets entertaining is when you make a mistake behind the hill. The air is a bit turbulent, and occasionally I miss the air (read: smite the earth). This is where a good foamie comes in handy. I woulda never really investigated this phenomena without a crash-proof plane. If your slope has separated air behind the hill, and you do not mind occasionally crashing while you learn a new trick, give this a try. Caution, I'd recommend trying this maneuver out sometime when you have the hill to yourself. It takes a little getting used to... And a hint, the lower you go on the downwind side, the better off you are (more delta-vee typically). Joe Wurts RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Looking for a Futaba Ch 40 module
All that I have read is that the synth modules use more power than the single channel modules. Perhaps the Futaba Synth is different. Any way, for the cost of one 2.4 GHz receiver, I can keep all my 72 MHz stuff flying on their current channel. That is worth it for now.

Re: [RCSE] Looking for a Futaba Ch 40 module
Ed, Its certainly true for XPS and Spectrum, and its the Spectrum I am recommending, because the deal is so good. What happens is that even though the 2.4GHZ transmits at greater power than 72MHZ, they transmit in packets and between packets the transmitter isn't sending any signal. The net effect is that the total power drain goes down. I use both XPS and Spectrum and I can see it directly on how long my transmitter batteries last.

I concur with Anker. Yahoo groups lacks for our type of usage. Google is simple (like a Mac) and Yahoo is difficult, convoluted and tedious (like Windows). I am using the abridged option which is slick, quick and doesn't keep asking for passwords. Groups has it's place but Google rocks.
