RE: [RCSE] Supras done
Not picking on Maurice or (may the soaring gods forbid) Dr. Drela but could someone explain to me the balancing method and tools used to place a CG to 0.5mm accuracy?

RE: [RCSE] What are you doing to kill 5125/168 servos?
-Original Message- From: Tom Watson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2005 12:36 AM To: Soaring Exchange Subject: [RCSE] What are you doing to kill 5125/168 servos? Damn...what are you guys doing to kill the flat wing servos? I used the Hitec 5125s on the ailerons of my first Pike Superior (mainly because I was lazy and the JR 168 leads were too short) and never had a problem for two years. They get killed the first time out with the plane's new owner. Other flyers gripe about constant gear stripping. Tom, I have not seen your launch but I have seen Phil's. I can see him breaking just about anything on that launch. See: www.SoarCASA.org/frame.htm. Picture doesn't do it justice. Bert RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

I did similar... looking at some thumbs and not realizing how big they were! If you do some CSI enhancement on mine you can see my fat belly trying to poke out of my pants under the table...

[RCSE] F3B Eagle History
I saw this in rec.models.soaring and thought someone here might help. Bert My son (14) and myself started flying RC-planes (gliders/electro) a year and a half ago. This soon became nearly an obsession for me and my son follows close behind. He bought himself a second-hand F3B EAGLE some time ago. The seller was Mattias Carlsson, a Swedish F3B/F3J national team member. As I understood him, he had bought this plane from a member of the US national team some years ago (or from someone else who had bought it from the US team). We are interrested in the history of this plane if someone can fill us in... the original markings and color is still on, we believe: it is white, has a red canopy and rudder, red underside the wings, two-piece wing, all-flying tail, Airtronics 94141 servos all over, small american flag on the vertical stab, and last BUT NOT LEAST: on the right wing the number "348163", on the left a big number "1". Does anybody know who has flown this bird before? Has it been flown in any championships? - and so on. Tomorrow my son is going to fly it in his first F3B competition (my second), the F3B Eagle flies beautifully and we are crossing our fingers...

[RCSE] Highlander in Tree
Yep, someone was right about it being my longest flight. The highlander returned to earth today. Let's see I put it in the tree about 2 Sundays ago. A great Father-In-Law retrieved it for me. Present him with a challenge .. he'll solve it! Actually, what I prayed for happened ... Dennis blew a bit up here and knocked the Highlander down to a reasonable height ... maybe 40 feet or so.
