Well said David! I totally agree with that! What we do is so amazing. Most folks don't get it. But I still wouldn't change what I'm using right now. If I was to buy a radio it would be a Graupner MC 12 or 24(JR). now, I would guess that could be 2.4.. I'd still have to see or hear of better results. As of what I'm hearing now ... NO Way!

Re: [RCSE] 2.4 install how to?
Hi guys I find it kinda silly that all of you converts using 2.4 need instructions to install a receiver in a plane Can't have Carbon/Kevlar in your fuse, drilling holes in a fuse so the silly little antennas wiskers stick out just to find it didn't work, data loggers. ( just pure silliness ) Also while all of you folks are wasting you cash on some radio that doesn't compare to the Stylus in any way shape or form or can't do the things that sailplanes need to do. I'm buying planes and flying! Not wondering where to put the silly little whisker antennas or if the install gona work in my TOY sailplane. The Best part is I won't have to worry about all you guys on my channel (; = ! I fly on 72 meg's and I don't need instructions. Also I WON'T be using 2.4 in the future either!

(No frequency marked on the TX crystal, so no clue as to the frequency. No help from Multiplex, either, since it had been discontinued.) After Royal crashed burned, and after using every method to track down the Spindles for another several months, his wife finally managed to send the manual.

Hi Guys I just have to jump in here I killed 8 Hitec 5125 servos in my 5 meter Ventas 2 ax thank god it was on the bench before I got her in the air! After month's of trying to figure out what was the cause was wire size, connector plugs, bad solder joints.

Just ask anybody that attended last June's LISF (Long Island Silent Flyers) contest. They will tell you what a Pike Superior SL sounds like when the ailerons are fluttering so violently that the entire wing is twisting to very odd angles. If control surfaces are fluttering NO SERVO is long for this world, nor wing for that matter. Fix the flutter! Lighter surfaces help but the biggest thing is mass ballancing. When I built a Long-EZ (full size) is was made clear that the control surfaces MUST ballance in spec or they will flutter with the surface usually coming off and then other nasty things happening. At the speeds we are getting I expect to soon be seeing mass ballancing on surfaces soon. michael RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Some Thoughts on AMA
Right On Tim! Cheers. AL - Original Message - From: Tim Bennett [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: RCSE Soaring soaring@airage.com Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2005 12:18 PM Subject: [RCSE] Some Thoughts on AMA All the comments I have read on this exchange over the last two days bring to mind some ideas that have been boiling in my mind for a couple of years regarding the Academy of Model Aeronautics and how it is organized. First, a little background regarding me. I have been a model airplane hobbyist for forty-eight years. My father and his brother were modelers before me. Like many others in the RC soaring branch of the hobby, I have built and flown FF, CL, RC gas, and electric models over the years, but have been pretty much exclusive to RC soaring for the last fifteen years. I fly with the Soaring League of North Texas (SLNT) in the Dallas/ Ft Worth area and am an AMA contest director. I think you could say I am an active contest flyer. Holding thirty-one club contests a year, SLNT may be the most active competition club in the country. There are thirteen unlimited sailplane contests including two separate contest days of the Texas National Tournament (TNT) each year. We will complete a total of fifteen handlaunch/DLG contests this year. There were also three RES events including one at TNT. I have flown in all but about three of these events over the past five or six years and have been CD of all the handlaunch events for the last six years. Attendance at these competitions has ranged from about eight to forty-five entrants with the average being between fifteen and twenty per event. Except for this year, SLNT has obtained AMA sanctions for about fourteen of these contests each year for at least as many years as I have been involved. My issue with the organization of AMA is that AMA is governed by an executive council made up of elected regional vice presidents. These officers are elected by AMA members within a geographic area regardless of their interest in the various disciplines of the hobby. For the most part geographical areas are irrelevent to the issues affecting AMA. It is clear to me that this system is doing a poor job of representing and dealing with the needs of a large portion of the hobby, including soaring. Model aviation has evolved into a diverse set of disciplines with many AMA members specializing in just one or a small subset of these disciplines. There do not seem to be many pylon racers who fly sailplanes, helicopters, indoor free flight, and control line carrier as well. How effectively are they represented by their regional vice president? I believe that this system should be replaced by a realignment of the governing board along the lines of special interest groups representing the modeling disciplines. Each special interest group should function as a separate division of the organization with its own funding and staff. The executive council should be made up of the heads of these groups with some form of proportional representation based on the number of members in each group. Members having interests in multiple special interest groups should be given the opportunity to join multiple groups paying dues reflecting these multiple interests. The current organization of AMA is a legacy of the state of the sport in the 1930's and 1940's when the academy was formed. Just making a model fly was a major achievement in those days. With rare exceptions, free flight was the only choice. Competition was primarily segmented along the lines of the age of the flyer and how the free flight models were powered. Junior, Senior, and Open flyers flew glider, rubber, or gas free flight models in AMA events. The interests of modelers in Virginia were different from those in California and representation was needed primarily to address those regional interests. Today, age group competition is almost non-existent. Flyers travel the whole country to fly in AMA events within their special interests. There are at least eight different segments of RC soaring each having their own needs regarding safety, insurance, flying sites, air space, competition regulation, radio frequency control, and launch equipment issues. These segments include electric, flat land thermal, slope, dynamic, hand launch, aero-tow, F3J, and F3B. AMA's regional vice presidents, for the most part, have no awareness let alone informed positions regarding any of these segments or their specialized issues and yet they govern our sport. The AMA contest sanction packages I have received recently have each had several pages of information and a waiver form regarding the use of jet turbine engines in my sailplane contests. AMA says we should not fly gliders higher than 400 feet AGL, but those same packages also included forms for measuring and filing for altitude records for models flying up to several thousand feet high.

I have some planes I want to sell and thought you might know someone that is looking. I have an Acacia f3j molded sailplane for sale. It crashed on one of its first 5 flights and dinged all 3 wing panels. All of the damage is forward of the spar and has been repaired such that the plane can be and has been flown. I have launched it with my Real balls winch and flown it many times since repairing it. It seems structurally fine, aero good and cosmetically fair. It would make a good slope practice or sport plane. It makes a fast TD plane. It weighs 80 ozs RTF with a conservative cg. I will sell it for $340 with 6 HS 85 servos , no rcvr. The price is $260 with no servos. Prices assume buyer pays shipping (~$20). This plane is should be a great slope practice/sport plane. A good fixer could make it like new. I also have a 3m Addiction made by Fred Sage for sale. It has the 7037 airfoil. The plane became a sort of backup as I fooled with an Aegea and Mantis with faster airfoils. I got it in 2002. I will sell it RTF with a Hitec rcvr, 6 HS 85 servos, battery, switch. Just add your crystal and fly. It has had a good life, no crashes or other damage. I did remove the landing skeg on the nose cone as I don't fly contests. It weighs 58 ozs trimmed to fly. $500 shipped in US . The plane is in excellant condition. I can provide pictures if anyone is interested. I am still into RC planes but have drifted into power planes. I got lonely flying sailplanes alone and found a power club nrear Corning. Now I am learning knife egdes, flat spins, hovering, etc. Jack Hyde RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] New post: hi starts
Well...I do I have a story. Kinda hurts to tell ya all.. A few years back I'm thinking the First SVSS Spring Fling... I had one of Pat Bowman's fomies a Cutlass slope ships.. I believe I got the Monster bungee i.e. Big Black thing from Mark Meck when I was at CASL contest earlier in the year.. I had a wild idea to do hi speed bungee launching with little slope planes I saw lots of folks doin it so I thought I can do this it's fun and way fast!!! So I set my Cutlass up for Hi speed bungee fun I had been practicing at my home field and Wow! it was fast fun... So I had a wild idea to show off to all the guys @ SVSS Well right before the contest I set up my Bungee toys for ALL to see, and see they did! I hooked up my Cutlass and started walking back till that big old bungee started to drag me forward.. Ready set go. Well the bungee let go all right! Next thing I know is a funny sound and this Big Black thing coming at me at Mac 6 to fast to duck I stand in awe and I'm hit from top to bottom by the Hi Start Rubber!!! Let me tell ya all... This is NOT a good thing! I lay there in PAIN! I was Black, Blue, Green from head to toe it looked like a snake hit me. Oh and yes it hit me in that spot also.. I don't know how long I lay there in pain... but I crawled back to my truck and laid there till I was called to fly in the contest. Let's say it wasn't my best contest I don't play with Bungee cords anymore. Hurting as I type. AL Albert E.

Re: [RCSE] flap servos
Hi Walter. Put the best servos you can afford in your plane. Put the strongest servo on the elevator it is the most important... Digitals aren't all that good... I haven't noticed that my planes fly better with them installed. I just pulled out all digital wing servos in my 6 meter Ventus 2AX and reinstalled Airtronics 141 throughout.. I haven't burned out any of those servos yet... ( I won't go into my problems with digital servos ) Also put the biggest battery pack you can squeeze in the nose ( less nose weight ) Install the servos you like to use Everybody has there preference i.e... JR, Volz, Airtronics, Hitec. Cheers Al Albert E. Wedworth ( AL ) ERA Capshaw Realestate REALTOR- ASSOCIATE Cell 530-228-9445 Fax 530-343-1715 RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Hi All Al Here we go again... So I sent the 4 burned out servos to Hitec for replacement, 3. HS 5125 MG 1. HS 5245 MG Two 1/2weeks later. I get them back Monday this week and.. Guess what They come back in a Nice Plastic Blue Box with stickers even.. What happened to the cardboard boxes?? Were these old servos I got??? Did Hitec upgrade the servos and the boxes? Or just the boxes? So I installed all the Returned servos in the Ventus.. Checked the radio and adj all throws down to 100% so not to over drive the servo to death .. Oh" by the way I also bought one of those Battery Voltage reducers from BatteryAmerica a VR 5.4Voltage Regulator. Well. When using theVR 5.4you can't charge the battery when this device is installed.. Bummer.. don"t like that! Also when I went to set up the plane AGAIN I found the battery dead... Like the VR 5.4 sucked the battery down.. Pulled the VR 5.4 off charged the battery and off I go.. AGAIN! Plugged in one wing at a time and set up so not to move the servos to much or over drive them.. Moved to the other wing and set it up Wow! Everything is working great.. I'm impressed.. So I'm get out my throw meter and set all of my surfaces to factory recommended settings All of a sudden I here a weird sound from left my tip servo Gur. as the servo is moving Holly Sh## Lost that one Then as I look over to the right wing panel I see the flaplocked all the way in the down position and that funnyI Let the factory smoke out smell. "Oh Sh## " Wow! I'm getting really worried about flying this plane with all the servos burning out. Any suggestions??? With out spending any more money! Sorry Gordy, I can't afford Volz servos any more, There way to expensive! ( I have Volz Wing Maxxon the Aileron servos of the Ventus with no problems) Maybe the Hitec servo are angry that I have Volz servos in the Ventus at all.. Could this be??? Thanks Al I'm building a HM Ventus 2ax 5 m model sailplane. I've used Hitec digi servos thought. HS-5245MG digi Mini HS 5125 MG Digi thin wing servos. What I've noticed is they burn out very easily..

Re: [RCSE] Hitec Digi Servo burn out! Again...
Hi Ben I get my twisted wire 22 AWG from George Joy @ Peak Electronics. I use multiplex connectors. Iuse Unassembled Gold plated connectorsfrom Custom Electronics. Jo Joy George's wife @ Peak Electronics. I cut off the factory plugs from the servos and solder direct to the harness. I never use a on /off switch.But if I do use a switch. I buy a Switch Jack from Dieter @ Shredair. I never had one of those fail ! So as you can see I build m own wiring harness. I never had a problem with the wiring harness I build in any of my planes. I just can't seem to spend money on something I can make.. I don't think it's the wiring harness. I think it's the servos them self. This is the first plane I ever used Digi servo in because I never thought I needed them.. But I figured Hay, "what the heck" I got this 5 meter Ship I should use good stuff in it. I have always used Volz servos in the past but with the difference between the dollar /euro there out of my price range now... I hate to say it But...I think Gordy is RIGHT when he tells us theyuse cheep brushes inour servomotors! I have never had such problems with any Non Digiservo out there . Cheers Al Albert E.

It cleans off with citrus cleaner. But, is there a strategy to minimize the mess? Can the aluminum be passivated some way thin enough to still fit into the carbon spar tubes?

We had an abundance of tungsten powder and paraffin wax, so I filled the nose with powder, then poured the molten wax in and stirred the mess up. I only added enough wax to saturate the powder, it doesn't take much. The weight can easily be modified by scooping out the excess with a spoon. Ours were about 12lbs per plane!!! I was thinking about putting together a glider nose weight kit with 5oz. of tungsten, and 2oz. wax with a piece of plastic to glue in as a retainer. If anyone is interested, I will put them together.

I was told to by the cheapest lo cost battery you can get. Because the batteries go away so fast. Charging and deep discharging kills batteries. Why spend $80 + dollars to just be replaced every year? Cheers.
