Re: [RCSE] Gap seal source?
Just a note on the "hockey tape". I bought some at the local ice rink that didn't work out very well. The backing separated from the adhesive after awhile. The tape was kind of opaque on the roll and clear in one layer. Sorry I can't give you a brand name as there isn't one on the cardboard center ring.

[RCSE] Lil' Help
Hey Y'all Looking for square carbon joiners for a three piece wing. Around 5 degrees would be nice. I remember Gordy writing something about it. Maybe for the PIKE. It's for a building project and I have to make the boxes anyway, so, "size doesn't matter". TIA Bob RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Phil..Center Panel dihedral
Phil; If you wanted to incorporate a little dihedral in the center panel of a 3 piece wing, what would be your procedure? Thank you for all that you give back the modeling community.

[RCSE] Pike V-tail Antenna
Pike Owner's,
What is your antenna solution for the v-tail? I have seen the Samba
website but would like to know of your practical experience. This is my
second Pike. My first is a light model with the antenna ran through the wing
D connector out into the wing behind the spar and carbon D-tube leading
edge. It ground checks "OK" and I can fly it at the edge of my sight with no
problems.(72mHz)
My new Pike (50mHz) has a carbon center section and I won't use the
above setup. I built another with a carbon c-section Pike and doubled the
antenna length to .5 wave and dangled it out the back of the fuse. Reception
is good, but it looks like hell and it is bothersome during launch. Any
suggestions? BTW radio equipment is Airtronics TX/RX.

[RCSE] LE Fix
BillAll; I fixed a buddy's Xtreme with LE damage earlier this spring. The repair saved him from having to buy a new panel. Some of this has been talked about here in the past, some of it is a twist I ran across building foamies. Anyway, as close as you can get to the damaged area of the LE, use it as a male plug for a wet lay-up of light glass. I used 2 ply, 3.cozy (?) and 1.75oz 1.75 facing out. I have some 3" wide packing tape that I laid down on the mold area so the FG wouldn't stick to the wing. I also used paste wax as a release agent. If you have a vac system, bag the patch. I don't, so I supported the wing LE up and used canvas draped over the wing and hanging below the flight surfaces and clapped weight to the bottom of the canvas to apply pressure the curing patch. I used blue wallyworld bag material in between the FG and canvas. Once your patch is completely cured, slide it over to make sure it's big enough to cover the damaged area and fits well. Next, cut out the damaged area and cut your patch to fit inside the area you just cut out. You want to try to have it fit as close to flush with the surface of the wing as possible. Hopefully with very few gaps. Wick CA (foam friendly if the core is Rocell[sp?]) in to hold the patch in place. Fill low spots with whatever you like that is EZ to sand. Be careful not to knock the patch out. Next you will need a horse syringe (35cc) and needle big enough to push thin lay-up epoxy (I used West System). Drill a couple of holes the same size as the needle in your new patch. Mix some epoxy and shoot just enough inside the wing, through your drilled holes, to coat the inside of the patch and surrounding area. Just roll the wing around to get the inside coated. I let the epoxy cure, LE down, so the excess epoxy puddled in the LE. Don't use a crap load of epoxy. I used tape over the drilled holes to keep the epoxy from leaking out. This is where the foamy building comes into play. I use this technique to fill gaps around spars or whatever in EPP. Get a bottle of Gorilla Glue and another syringe and same size needle as before. You have to do this step fairly fast. But first I would suggest you do this little experiment. Get a Dixie Cup and put in just enough Gorilla Glue to cover the bottom of the cup. Put in about the same amount of water and stir. All the water won't mix in so just pour off the excess after mixing for a minute or two. Watch the expansion rate of the Gorilla Glue; it turns to foam. The foam that is produced by the mix will collapse very ez and not force your LE apart to create a bulge, it is also light. By doing this experiment you can kind of judge how much Gorilla Glue to mix up. If you have a large area you might need 2 syringes full. I got by with one 35cc syringe and the Gorilla Glue mix will push the plunger out of the syringe if you don't watch it. Through the same drilled holes you put the epoxy through, shoot the GG mixture into the wing. I left the wing laying flat and tried to get about one inch overlap inside the wing. Once dry it really helps support the repaired area and is light. Next I wetted out some of the 1.75 FG to cover the patch and about one inch of wing, same weighting systemFG, wallyworld bag, weighted canvas. Once cured, finish the repair however you like. My friend left his "raw", unfinished. The repair turned out much better than I had imagined. He was really expecting to have to buy a new wing panel and just gave me the panel to mess with. Needless to say, he was happy he didn't have to buy a new panel. For more tricks with Gorilla Glue see the may issue of RCSD. FWIW Bob Peck Tulsa

How did I stumble into this discussion group? Does anyone know where the RC soaring group relocated? Can you spell>> Bulls---!! Here lets try this. I went out and flew my 2M Super V today and it was a little windy. Does anyone out there have a trick way to add ballast short of doing a major mod to the fuse?
