RE: [RCSE] I need a few micro receivers.
Either JR's scales are wrong or mine are...I have 2 JR 610UL receivers and, according to my scale, they weigh 10 grams without a crystal and 12 grams with the crystal. That's about 50% more than the advertised weight! Has anyone else actually weighed one?

RE: [RCSE] skegs and teeth
Before I started using skegs, I use to jump up in the air and let the plane slide under me. Of course, there was always the chance that the plane could decide to stop sliding while it was under you and then you would land on top of it. :-( I go to lots of contests and I've never seen anyone hurt with a skeg. I have had my shins hurt and have seen many other people hit their shins when flying without a skeg.

[RCSE] FW: MidSouth Soaring Championship 2005 Invitation
Here is the info on the Mid-South that people have been seeking: Buddy Roos -Original Message- From: AJ Wilson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 1:29 PM Subject: [Friends_Of_NASA] MidSouth Soaring Championship 2005 Invitation The North Atlanta Soaring Association (NASA) invites you to the 14th Annual Mid-South Soaring Championship (MSSC), June 24-26. This year it will be held Duluth, GA at the Scott Hudgens Park NASA field in the River Green Industrial Park. Duluth is located 10 miles north of downtown Atlanta. The site consists of approximately 20 acres of cleared, flat fields. This is the second time NASA has hosted the MSSC. We plan to continue and expand the fellowship of fliers attending this annual event. In the past there have been as many as 125 entrants from as many as 25 states. We encourage contestants to bring their families and extend their visit take in some of the many nearby Atlanta metropolitan attractions, shopping centers and events. Maps and Links to the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce sites are included in this MSSC web site located at www.midsouth.atlantasoaring.com The site will be open for registration by March 14th. This year's contest will consist of hand launch and RES (Friday) and two separate thermal duration events (Saturday Sunday). The thermal duration events will flown man-on-man using five winches with a sixth back-up. Golf carts will retrieve lines. We plan on going five deep for most awards. The best overall score will be awarded counting all four events. While competitive spirit draws many of the contestants, we cannot forget that the MSSC offers a chance to meet and renew friendships within the close knit soaring community. To help foster the exchange of soaring folklore during the event, we again plan to keep the field open Saturday for sport flying while serving a low country boil dinner at the field. The all you can eat feast includes shrimp, sausage, corn on the cob, potatoes and other fresh seafood and meats and seasonal vegetables prepared at the field by the same chef who met with such acclaim at our last contest. Soft drinks will be available from the same group catering breakfasts and lunches during the contest. For those in town Friday, plan on stopping by Mi Mexico, the official NASA watering hole and t-shirt sponsor. Both Mi Mexico and the Days Inn (MSSC 2005's official hotel) are within a couple of miles of the flying site and each other. We have reserved 30 rooms at the Days Inn at Technology Park (6385 Peachtree Industrial Blvd, 1-800-329-7466) at a very special rate of $50.00 plus tax for Thursday night, June 23 through Saturday night, June 25. You will need to mention the fact that you are attending the Mid South in order to obtain this special rate or even to obtain a room at all. The $50 rate applies to a room with two double beds. A suite with a King Size bed and room for 4 occupants is also available at the special rate of $60 plus tax per night. These special rates are only available for reservations made before Thursday, June 9. After that date, the rate will go up and rooms will no longer be available. Days Inn features high speed internet connections, a swimming pool, and a complementary Continental Breakfast. It is approximately 3 miles south of the River Green on Peachtree Industrial Blvd. See the web site for additional hotel information. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] First Sailplane
My first sailplane (and first RC plane) was a Hobie Hawk with a Kraft 2 channel brick. My brother bought a Graupner Cirrus at the same time and we went out to fly them without a clue as to how to do it. We had never even seen an RC sailplane fly. Some way, we figured out how to launch on a hi-start and started flying. After flying for a month without ever catching a thermal, we were really getting discouraged. We had probably flown through hundreds of thermals but didn't know how to recognize them. I told my brother that free flight planes caught thermals all the time and all they did was go up and go into a circle. So...The next flight I launched my Hobie Hawk, trimmed in a little left and a little up to put it into a circle, put my transmitter down on the ground and watched. After a few turns, I remarked to my brother that it didn't seem to be coming down! It centered a nice thermal and started going up. We watched it go higher and higher for 30 minutes without picking up the transmitter. At 30 minutes it disappeared into a cloud and my heart rate doubled in the next 5 seconds. I grabbed the transmitter and dove it back down out of the cloud and brought it in for a safe landing. That was almost 30 years ago and I'm still flying sailplanes! And I still have that Hobie Hawk plus a few more to keep it company.

RE: [RCSE] Antenna Info
I have an old Xterminator Pro fuselage with an XP3 aileron wing that had terrible glitch problems. I ran the antenna inside the boom, wrapped around the boom and straight down the boom and nothing worked. I finally glued a piece of very thin music wire to the back of the wing inside the aileron cutout with foam safe CA.. The cutout is about 1/8 wide and the wire doesn't come even close to getting in the way of the aileron. I glued it inside the wing opposite the throwing peg to help with the balance of the wing. I cut off a piece of the original antenna the same length as the music wire and soldered the music wire to the part that was left. I cut off one pin of a Dean's connector and put in in a break in the antenna so I could unplug it when I took the wing off. If you did this on a new build, you could just use a connector for your ailerons that had one more pin and plug everything in at once. The good newsSince putting the antenna in the wing, I haven't had a single glitch. Before putting it there I was getting hit 4 or 5 times a flight.

RE: [RCSE] Re: Soaring V1 #3288
I thought the airplane vs. pilot debate was settled years ago when Joe Wurts won the 2-Meter Class at Visalia two years in a row flying a foamie. Buddy -Original Message- From: Joshua [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2004 4:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [RCSE] Re: Soaring V1 #3288 There's a very easy way to solve this! When I used to race sailboats, during the fleet champs we had the same number of heats as there were skippers. Each heat the skippers.crew changed boats. In the end, every skipper/crew sailed every boat for 1 heat. On the flip side not all pilots trust their planes in the hands of other pilots...Just my 1 1/2 cents worth, keep the change. :) It doesn't take much math to rate plane and pilot separately in that case. Normalize weather by having each round flown at the same time (like HLG). Two prizes: one for best plane, one for best pilot. I'd guess that they'll go to the same guy a lot of the time, but I'd like to not have to guess. -J RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] Sagitta 600 Question
Glenn, The Sagitta 600 is a great sailplane!! Years ago, I bought a polyhedral Sagitta 600 I saw hanging in a Hobby Shop. The next weekend I was walking out to the winch when one of my friends asked me if I wanted him to throw it so I could check the trim. He threw it and while I was checking the trim I saw a small bump and put it into a circle. It locked into the thermal and I ended up with a 10 minute flight on my first test glide. Later that afternoon, I got my first 1 hour thermal flight flying the Sagitta. A lot of the 1 hour flight was flown with me laying on my back on the ground and the transmitter laying on the ground next to me. After many fun flights with the Sagitta, I finally lose it due to a bad transmitter battery. Last week, a friend that flies power planes gave me an old Sagitta 600 that he built years ago. The fuselage was in really bad shape but a new fiberglass Sagitta fuselage from Dream Catcher took care of that. I can't wait to get it flying!!
