Re: [RCSE] Keep RCSE and a soaring related item.
I had the remote receiver on a 6200 to fail a quick ground test, but its light was on. It was broadcasting with sharply reduced power. (Horizon replaced the receivers.) We may need to test (off the ground) on at least two axis (front and side) before flying each day to catch any problems with two receivers. Frank Jarratt I have personally benefited from the hundreds of suggestions offered by members of RCSE. Thanks to Mike for all his work over the years. Please keep it going. Soaring related: Several months ago I install a 2.4 system in my Super AVA. I use a DX7 transmitter, a RD 9000 receiver with the satellite receivers installed in the center section outboard of the spoilers. This system has worked flawlessly until last week. Following an uneventful high start launch, I experienced intermittent control problems with the system locking out or rebooting as some say. I was able to land the model safely and do some trouble shooting. I immediately noticed that one of the satellite receivers did not have a light on. The other one did. Of course the main receiver is buried in the fuse and does not receive any signal because of CF/Kevlar construction. Rebinding the system to the transmitter reactivated the inoperative satellite and the system has functioned successfully at altitudes of 2000 feet and to limits of my visual range. For me this illustrated the necessity of installing the satellite receivers so that their operation can be verified by observing the light. Of course this may be obviated with the new 2.4 friendly AVA pods. Long live RCSE!

Re: [RCSE] Servo Reversing
How does this work? Does the power lead stays on the same pin and just reverse the other two (signal) leads?

Re: [RCSE] Contests, Landings, etc.
Rather than longer flight tasks, why not shorten the launch lines? 800'-1,000 ' lines seems like overkill with the planes we have today. Can you fly day one at 700' and day two at 500'? Or would the plane redesign just offset it? Frank Jarratt RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Omega 2M from Northeast Sailplane
> Does anyone out there have any experience with assembly, setup and flying of the >Omega 2M from NESP? I finished mine last night, and hope to fly this weekend. I reinforced the front wing mount and tied both the front and rear wing mounts to a long towhook block, since I want to try ballast. This arrangement should also allow the wing mount to carry more of the stress from the launch. (The rear wing mount has 1/4" plywood block under the wing. I did the same in the front, then added a simple plywood bulkhead that extends from where the wing plugs in front, down to the towhook block. I added a similar bulkhead under the rear wing mount.) Wing servos are a problem. The Omega 2M has thin airfoil and LARGE control surfaces. I used Volz Micro Maxx for the flaps, and HS-81MG for the ailerons. I had to grind away some rib area to make room. The servos are glued onto 1/32" plywood that is expoxyed to the wing. Servos are covered with M&M Glidertech servo patches. The finished height of both sets of servos is about 1MM too high to mount flush with the wing surface. The produce a slight bump under the patches. I considered the new JR micro digital servos. Any suggestions for next time? Frank RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [RCSE] Focus 3- FM or AM
My Highlander/Focus 3 AM setup came with HS-81 servos. I suggest you get servos with metal gears. The Highland is built to 'bounce'. I broke a lot of plastic servo gears initially @ $3.95 a set. I ended up using the HS-85MG servos. Then I just broke the micro control arms! I would recommend the plane to any Novice. Frank Jarratt RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
