[RCSE] Duel Solenoids Save Planes
I just saw a $1000 bird bite the dust a couple weeks ago. The solenoid stuck and ripped the plane out of the pilots hand and cart wheeled toward the turn around. Two solenoids are not the full answer though. You will need a device to detect a bad solenoid before it will bite you. I have two sound led boxes in stock ready to send you one. At $35 + insurance $1.60 it is a small price compared to the plane it saves. The sound is real sensitive and will warn you of intermittent solenoids as well. The bright LEDs tell you which solenoid.

Re: [RCSE] One full day of RES
Two Meter does not need to drop a day. Nostalgia will die or co-exist with F3B or HL, probably HL. Two Meter is very different from RES but both contribute to new aircraft that provide a starting place for the new fliers. When I wrote the first rules to start the RES class at the Nats the concept was to cause new planes to be made for the class so new flyers have choices. To diminish Two Meter as a result is back stepping. Dan Pruss award is up to SOAR. If they want to advance RES to competition level they write the rules. AMA sets Hi Johnson and Lee Renaud awards and they should remain as they are.

RES is fun, and it is clearly growing in popularity. It seems to me there might be a way for HLG and NOS to share the day with frequencies and field space much like we do when F3B runs along side of X/C, using the same fields. I like and support the idea about the Dan Pruss award (as a member of the first SOAR team to ever win it in 2004), but that is a different discussion independent of getting RES a full day. Lets take that as a next step if possible, down the road. Jim At 11:29 AM 8/2/2005, Barry Andersen wrote: This is a great idea and a easy one to implement, drop a day of 2M, numbers are about the same for 2M and RES, mostly me thinks, because the guys that come to play for the week bring the requisite toys. Here's one idea, start AMA TD with one day of 2m, then 2 days of unlimited, one day of RES and end with a day of NOS. If NOS numbers are low, the event could wind up earlier in the day to get guys on their way. RES has evolved into a fun event with sailplanes that are a blast to fly, I love my Topaz. A day of RES is a good way for the contest to wind down. NOS numbers might go up with a full day as some may come to just fly that event on a Friday. Mark's idea below to make the Dan Pruss award based on unlimited, 2M and RES is a good one, and one that I believe would enjoy good support. What say all of you?? Barry On Aug 1, 2005, at 9:37 PM, Mark Miller wrote: I'm all for a full day of RES. The way it was explained to me regarding the reason for keeping 2 days of 2 meter was that it was a "premier" event like Unlimited and RES was not. I would say that over the past 4 or 5 years RES had advanced and grown in popularity around the country. The technology has advanced to the point where RES designs are winning unlimited contests these days. 2 meter is declining around the country and technology and market share is stagnant or declining. The number of people flying RES at the NATS is not what it could be because, in my opinion it is essentially a half day of flying for a full price entry. It is also placed badly where folks are trying to get home after a long week of flying. I feel it is the class that has actually been growing over the years nation wide. The way it can become a "premier" event is by treating it that way. I would not mind even seeing the Dan Pruss award be based on the point total for 2 meter, Unlimited and RES. It is 3 different ways of flying and would reward the versitility of the team. This will, in my mind, be as the award was intended which was based on 3 classes, 2 meter, standard and unlimited. Seeing a full day for DLG with 20 entries is kind of weird. Also, who would like to see a Hobie Hawk sub class in Nostalgia? I would love to see a bunch of Hobies mixing it up.

They only move on because everyone wants the to look good by max'ing every flight (more easily, as skill requirements to do so with 2-meter are much higher), thus off to open they float. I find 2-meter great fun! Hot rods of the sky, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound (if there's lift). And yea, as I grow old(er) any my eyes become a problem and reflexes slow, I'll slowly leave 2-m behind and move to a bigger RES (along with open). 2-meter is not for the faint of heart. But I'll always have a soft spot for a good, full-house work-it-across-the-sky hot rod of a 2-meter. I think 2-m;s provide a much better test of your flying skills than open or res planes do. And yea, they suck when there's no lift! But hey, they provide a good separation of the "pilots" from the flyers. It IS easier to fly a bigger plane. That's part of what makes it so interesting. I guess you have to put me into that die-hard 2-meter camp. This is all said with the utmost respect to Daryl. No attack on his opinion is intended. He is the champ, afterall!

[RCSE] Sailplane Insurance? I have 16 kits ready for immediate shipping
If you have been thinking about it, now is the time to act. If you are using dual solenoids on your winch now the LED kit is a must as it will tell you if one is bad. If you are still using a single solenoid your plane is at risk in a winch runaway. You can get another solenoid for 20-30 dollars at NAPA or Ebay. Kits are $9.95 shipped anywhere in USA. They include 2 high power LED, 2 holders, 2 resistors, and 3 connectors. Assembled kits are $19.95. $1 off for each kit in orders up to 5 kits. See the web page: http://www.altelco.net/~calplsf/solenoid_led.htm It is finished with pictures and reports from users. Dealer inquiries invited. Cal Posthuma

[RCSE] dual solenoid led insurance kits IV
Demand was so high last time yet that I thought I would make offer one more time. I have 3 kits ready to ship and another 10 in parts coming this week. If you have or are changing to dual solenoids to keep from having winch runaways due to stuck solenoids, these kits are a great way to monitor if either solenoid is locked engaged (means you are really running on one solenoid) They are $9.95 shipped anywhere in USA. I take one dollar off each kit for every additional kit bought. Assembled kits ready to bolt on are $19.95. They include 2 special bright LED's, 2 LED holders, 2 resistors to match 12 volts, and 3 solenoid connectors. Pay Pal or check If interested email me.

[RCSE] 5 sailplane insurance kits left
I have parts for 5 more kits in the pipeline. These kits mount on dual solenoids to let you know if one of the solenoids is bad. If one is bad that means at anytime without warning your winch can lock full on. If the kit is in place the LED will go out when a solenoid is locked on. If you are only using one solenoid I can't help you as you are on borrowed time anyway. I put dual solenoids on my winch after seeing it take a newbie's riser through the turnaround. The LED's are added so I know they are both working. Kit price $9.95, for extra kits in the same order minus $1 per extra kit 2-$18.95 3-$27.95 etc. Assembled Kit is $19.95 ready to bolt on your solenoids with LED's mounted on wood plate and tested. Kit includes 2-Flashlight LED's, 2-5mm LED holders, 2-Resistors, 3-lugs to attach to solenoids, instructions and picture of installation. Assembled kit also includes hookup wire, heatshrink, and wood mounting plate. Only 5 more orders will be taken at this time unless I can make the jump to 15. I can't afford having bunch of extra parts around and make the kit price reasonable.

Re: [RCSE] Plane insurance How they work
It is a pair of red diodes. each has a resistor so it will work on 12 volt battery. They go across each solenoid. IF solenoids are ok they both are lit when power is on. If one is stuck closed (bad condition) the its diode does not light. Therefore the solenoid needs be replaced. Any more questions feel free to ask.

[RCSE] Diode on solenoids
Somewhere on the net I saw an article about using flashlight diodes on a solenoid because you can see them in daylight. It also gave a rule of thumb on resistor needed based on the draw (ma) of the diode. I think I blew out one of my diode due to reverse impulse and want to fix it and get brighter diodes. Does anyone remember the article or can direct me to bright diodes.

Re: [RCSE] Club Newsletter Editors/Webmasters Only
I have had similar experience and have been doing email Newsletters for 5 years. Whether the member reads them is always a question but hard quantify. I then did a short stint of web page only but that was obviously not enough. Have you read the LSF Newsletter lately? I have even suggested to members to make the web site their home page but that did not seem to help. Now I email and do the web page. I am still not sure it is being read. Newsletters have important information but our lives are busy. A mailed Newsletter does get opened and read I do believe. I have asked members did you read the newsletter and some even months after finally told me they did not have the software to read the download or didn't know how to do it. Mailing costs stamps, ink, time, and that is hard to give up easily. League newsletters seem to be read more. I think the people I send to are more involved with soaring in the league.

[RCSE] If you are an AMA CD read this
You just had $30 removed from your pocket. AMA now is only offering 50% dues instead of 100% for your work as a CD. This was a unanimous vote by the council. Check last council minutes on AMA web page. Problem here is you probably put sanctions in early this year thinking you would be earning dues for 2003. This sounds like a breach of contract to me. If they want to do this it should apply to 2004. This is like contracting for a certain wage and when the job is done reduce wage by 50%. If you care, send email to your council member. Email addresses are on AMA web page. Cal Posthuma AMA CD
