Hi folks – I am back from Turkey and it was a great event.  The senior 
team

did well despite some plane difficulties and the juniors were terrific
taking home the team silver medal and the 2nd and 3rd place in the 
world.

 
I will be spending several evenings tearing up tickets for the 
drawing.  If

you want in, you need to get your orders in now. 
 
 
I still have a pretty large stock of tee shirts that we will be 
selling with
free shipping.  We will only be shipping out items that we have in 
stock. We
are out of the polo’s and will not have any more.  We don’t have a 
magic

real-time inventory system, so ff you order something and it is out of
stock, I will refund your complete payment. 
 
The website will be closed for further ordering at 5:00 MDT on July 
11th.

 
Thanks for all of your support. The team and I really appreciated the 
cheers

of support, the donations, and the merchandise purchases.  YOU make it
possible for us to be successful!
 
Thanks again…
Jim

[RCSE] Stab mount and stab

Anyone know of an after-market source for a stab and stab mount to fit 
on a Supra tailboom? I know Barry sells them but I'm hoping to find a 
less expensive source. I have broken two Supra stabs and one Supra stab 
mount while winch launching. Not every timebut it has happened twice.

For this year, I'd like to issue a challenge to the soaring community.
For 30 years, we've been launching as high as possible, trying to stay
aloft for 10 minutes, and coming down on a spot, carrying a skeg that
many times arrests on the line rather than the ground. That gets old...
in fact it got old a long time ago...

My challenge is to standardize the American TD winch, including line
strength, and to do away with landing skegs. I also think the
turnaround should be no more than 600' from the launch point. Let's put
some challenge back into this. Flame suit ON!

Re: [RCSE] Line breakage and launching and costest management - was Icon 2

2007-12-21 Thread Buzz Averill

Finally, the truth and the best approach

Buzz Averill
On Dec 20, 2007, at 11:38 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:



So guys, here is my take on the line break issue.  It is very much like
the F3B style...of course.

The system that is breaking the lines is the motor power and line
strength combination.  If you attached the line to a brick wall and hit
the switch the motors we use today will break all but the freshest,
unflawed lines.

So, what needs to be done for contest management is to inhibit (by
resistor) the power of the motors such that when stalled they can't
break a line that is 80% of its nominal strength.  Then, as contest
director, you say to the contestants go ahead, full pedal the suckers,
you only get so much power anyway.  I mean seriously, why should the
contest managers cater to anyone.  Set the rules, set up the equipment
so that is reliable and idiot proof, and invite contestants.

You might want to add a complaint department, or committee to your
staff, but this should be easily accomplished by strategically placing 
a

cardboard cutout or the CD way off in the far corner of the field so
complaning parties can get their frustrations out without the rest of 
us

having to hear about it  :-)

There you go.  THE PERFECT SOLUTION.

Respectfully submitted,

Mike Smith

I'm sure this will be a very dynamic plane and competitive with the

moldies, line breaks and winch bogging and ultimate failure are 
becoming

more prevelant.  Heavy enough line for these new super ships, will be
a burden for the lighter planes. Yes, I've CD'd lots of contests and a
few big ones.

We've tried some heavy line and it is great for the heavier planes but
the lighter planes and 2 meters have a helluva time overcoming the line
drag and weight.

Where do we draw the line?

OK all you sailplane junkies (Edgar, DP, you know who you are...) -
there's been a lot of discussion about the new High End and some vague
comparisons to the old Icon. Since Don has even stopped denying it, I
thought its about time for some news about the new Icon 2 that Maple
Leaf Design is developing. Its been in the works for over a year, and
news has been leaking for a while. Get in line folks - this is gonna be
a biggy, both literally and figuratively. Designed by the intrepid Dr.
Mark Drela, this new high aspect ratio F3J/Thermal Duration plane has a
wing span of 150 (3.81 m) and a VERY slender 2.4 friendly pod and
carbon boom. I have had the privilege of fondling the parts and pieces
as the design was developed, and I can tell you that this plane is
way-cool. The first prototypes of the Icon 2 are being tested as I type
this, and the first production planes (mine - VBG) will be delivered
just after the first of the year. I understand there's already a list.


No - I don't have photos or drawings.and leave Don alone - he's 
busy

working on my planes. Just get on the list.


Whahooo...

Re: [RCSE] Re: Benchmarks. . .progress ??

2007-12-02 Thread Buzz Averill
I don't think there is much doubt that barring physical problems, DLG  
gets the most Bang for the Buck.  Shoeless Joe, and others, were  
right about that from the beginning.


Buzz Averill
On Dec 2, 2007, at 8:07 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:




 The one thing you can always count on being wrong is any statement  
that says progress and innovation in any science or engineering  
discipline have reached their natural conclusion or perfection. 


 That said, because we are working with physics, the most efficient  
designs tend to all resemble each other if they solve the same  
problems in the same way.  I got very fed up over the years with  
certain modeling magazines that bragged on their free plans features,  
because for years and years, what you got were only cosmetically  
different versions of the same .40 sized gas or glow-powered,  
front-engined monoplane, with slight variation in proportions and  
moments. As if they were all copied off one successful design.


 Some of that WAS copying, based off the popular model's measurements  
and adding or subtracting a turtledeck, moving the wing from low to  
high or mid, adding or subtracting a canopy, changing the shape of the  
vertical stab, changing landing gear from tri to taildragger. For an  
exotic model, once in a while you'd see a canard or tailless design,  
maybe a pusher or bipe every other year. But like in fashion, most  
planes were just cosmetic variations on the A-Line dress.


 And most gliders in those kinds of magazines for 20-odd years were  
all variations on a 2-meter trainer with a polyhedral candy-bar wing  
or a sloper with a shorter, flat candybar wing and ailerons.  Most of  
those flew very well, but there wasn't a real leap in performance  
until a change in materials arrived with fiberglass and foam, then  
with molding, then fibers like kevlar, spectra, carbon. As we start to  
stagnate in airfoil development, experimenters turn to finding  
advantages from newer materials and assembly techniques, the new  
structures sometimes benefit from a change in airfoil choice, in a  
see-saw cycle. So development is going to continue, in fits and  
starts, as newer technologies filter down from industrial and military  
developments and civilian scientific research. Perhaps the next step  
is wing planforms with unsightly bumps along the front, like whales  
have on their fins. Turns out these have a hydrodynamic purpose in  
boundary layer control. Look like hell though:-P


 As far as an average modeler, and this is only my personal opinion,  
not everybody is a master builder or master pilot, or needs to be. For  
Every Harley and shoeless Joe, there are many more average guys, who  
are not necessarily into pushing the envelope and filling a wall with  
plaques. For them, satisfaction with a plane is a complex equation  
with variables like cost, durability, performance versus stability,  
ease and cheapness and reliability of repair, appearance,  
transportability, ability to use off-the-shelf components, and more. A  
plane that represents too much challenge or expense, makes them afraid  
to fly it or to fly it aggressively, taking risks. It winds up a  
hangar queen while they rack up stress-free hours on a foamy. If they  
trade up to better models over time, it is at a significantly slower  
rate than the contest crowd.


 If the average guy I described is going to build from scratch,  his  
first effort is not likely going to be a carbon moldie. But it may not  
be a stick-built wing either. It is going to be some kind of hybrid,  
designed to not require exotic or expensive tooling, toxic adhesives  
and components or an immaculate and well-stocked workspace or a ton of  
hours that people just don't have any more. Somebody's always going to  
be crafting a fine jewel of a plane, never fear for that. But. If  
we're talking about getting the masses to try building over ARF's  
again, it may require a revolution in design and technique akin to  
what the indoor electric flyers experienced when they started  
discovering fanfold and EPP foam coupled to lightweight but powerful  
outrunners and lipos.  That area of the hobby has exploded with design  
creativity and participants because the materials are easy to find  
locally, are dirt cheap to buy and work with and very forgiving.  I  
would never be able to afford a glass Viojett or Yellow Aircraft F-18,  
much less have a place to fly it, but I built a pusher one out of  
fanfold in a few days for twenty bucks worth of materials and I have  
enough spare foam left to build five more.


 In soaring, to my mind,  I think the DLG comes closest to this  
concept of ease of build and cheapness to fly plus great performance  
for least outlay. But I'm already seeing advanced DLG's that cost as  
much as open class ships used to. That discourages entry-level people  
from trying it. You can't and shouldn't try to stop progress and  
development as people seek
