[RCSE] GOOD GUY ALERT
Last year I won the Sharon being raffled off for the benefit of the F3B team. Jochen Luetke of HKM USA called me to tell me that he had none in stock but I would get the next one that came in but at that time he had no idea of when that would be. I later got another call from John apologizing for the delay and stating that the plane would not be available but that HKM was working on a new design and that I would get one of the first ones he got. On last Tuesday Fedex delivered a High End. This looks like a fantastic plane. Thanks John! Fred Sheplavy RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] BBMF 50th Anniversary Flight
I've been fortunate enough to see one of the Legend Air Shows at Duxford when visiting Great Britain. Except for the Last Roundup last September at Columbus, OH (I was a crew chief of a P-51H #46314, still flying out of Hayward, CA. so I'm a sucker for 51's) it was the best airshow I've seen. The pull the aircraft out of the RAF Museum at Duxford and fly them. You will see everything from WW1 thru WWII piston engine aircraft. No jets. The show I saw had the Spitfires, Hurricanes, a Sea Fury, Lancaster, 8 Tiger Moths doing formation aerobatics, a couple of Swordfish (with torpedoes), 4 Mustangs, a Tigercat, a Bearcat, a B-17, 2 B-25's and more.

If there is a winch/hi-start launch option, I've no clue where it is. As I see it, you've got two options -- 1) pick one of the slope sites and fly there with a little wind. While RFG3's thermal soaring leaves a lot to be desired, it's slope soaring is very good. 2) edit your plane to add a weightless and invisible motor on it ... I also don't think RFG3's thermal modelling is very good -- for example, I don't think a thermal will cause your wings to bank if one wing is more in it than the other. I've no idea if RFG4 is better. It would be nice if they'd make a simulator that actually gives you a winch or hi-start line to fly up and tries harder to simulate thermal soaring. Bonus points for a controllable winch, wings that flex/break, line breaks, a parachute falling down, hitting thermals on launch, wind that shifts around you and indicates thermals properly, optional poles with streamers, soaring birds to indicate lift, seeing bugs and trash flying around, lift being generated at certain areas, thermals that blow down wind properly ... `Condor: The Competition Soaring Simulator' does let you fly up a (full scale) winch line, and that's pretty nice -- but even it's thermal modelling seems weak, and the only way you find a thermal in it is that your vario starts beeping. Anybody tried thermal flying with Reflex XTR? Aerofly Pro Deluxe? FS One? RFG4? Phoenix Sim? CRRCsim (free!)? Any of them better? I don't know if any actually let you fly up the line, but I do know that several will at least let you gain some altitude at launch. (FMS's flight model really is too simplistic. Slope Soaring Simulator (also free) is decent and does do thermals and slope lift too, but I don't remember how accurately it models the plane's behavior in them or how they move.) -- Doug McLaren, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Never forget: 2 + 2 = 5 for extremely large values of 2.

Personally, I like how my Futaba 9C has a servo test feature, where it slowly cycles all the channels/servos back and forth with many small discrete steps. That way, you just set your TX down, and walk off with the plane for a range test. As long as the servos are steadily moving back and forth, you're good. If they start jerking or stuttering or stopping completely, then you're not good anymore. This works with whatever RX you've got, be it PPM, PPM w/ DSP, or PCM. If you're holding the plane, you can hear the servos all going tick-tick-tick-tick and anything going wrong is very obvious just from the sound alone, though of course you can watch the control surfaces yourself too. The problem with looking for glitches is that some RX's don't glitch (or glitch rarely), and as for waiting for it to go into the signal loss mode, well, it won't do that until several frames have been lost in a row. I've no idea if other radio gear has a servo test feature (my 8U didn't, my Hitec Eclipse 7 doesn't, and I don't have any other higher end gear from other manufacturers) -- but they should! -- Doug McLaren, [EMAIL PROTECTED] `Every man has his price.

[RCSE] Hi-starts
At a contest some 25 years ago a thunderstorm blew in which caused us suspend flying. After the storm passed and the skies cleared we decided to resume the contest. As one hi start was being stretched for a launch and a second had a bird on the way up there was a lightning strike in the woods about a 1000 feet away destroying a dead tree. The guy pulling the hi start back let go of it with a yell. He later said it was a shocking experience. The plane on the way up rolled over and crashed. When we examined the plane we found that the radio was dead. Opening the receiver case revealed a lot of fried components. Needless to say, the contest was called off.

When the wires are twisted, take a heat gun and run it along the wires. This slightly softens the plastic coverings and the twists tends to stay set. I've tried this, I twist with a drill and heated with various hot air guns, the wires just spring apart as soon as unclamped. I've taken to braiding the wires loosely, doesn't take that long to do, never untwists and when the neighbor asks what you did last night, you can always say braided servo leads.

RE: [RCSE] Can the new generation of computer radios do this ?
If you can find an Airtronics Infinity 1000, it will also do this.

The Multiplex 3030, 4000 and I believe the Royal Evo does too. You can assign any channel to any control serface. -Original Message- From: yclui_hk [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 24, 2002 6:03 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Guys, I am wondering if there are any radio transmitters out there that allows the user to program the mapping between the control slot number and the control function. My old ( 10 years + ) JR computer radios have got the following slot assignment : Slot 1: Throttle Slot 2: Aileron Slot 3: Elevator Slot 4: Rudder As I am flying sailplanes, the throttle / gear controls are useless to me but I do need the AUX1 control very often as most of my sailplanes have seperate servo for each aileron. That means the receivers I use must support no less than 6 channels ( Thro, Ail, Elev, Rudd, Gear, AUX1 ) and this requirement has been restricting my choice of receivers. What I would like to have is a radio transmitter that allows me to swap the AUX1 and throttle control slot at the so that I can use a 4- ch receiver in the following manner : Slot 1: AUX1 Slot 2: Aileron Slot 3: Elevator Slot 4: Rudder Is this supported by the new generation of computer radio transmitters ? Thanks in advance , Y C Lui RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] Source for wire harness mtls
The connectors and cable sold by Dymond are very well priced. The connectors appear to be the same as those offered by Custom Electronics. I have used connectors from both sources successfully.

Is there a good source for bulk connectors and the proper wire? Also, does it require a special crimper or can they be effectively soldered? Thanks Martin btw-I do try to patronize local people for obvious reasons.

RE: [RCSE] Channel check
If the AMA would mandate the use of a channel check module in every xmitter in say 10 years as a requirement for insurance, then we would have a system in place in 10 years. If we don't start sometime we will still be discussing this 10 years from now. Remember the phase in of narrow band equipment? Just a thought. Fred -Original Message- From: Bill Swingle [mailto:bill_swingle;onemain.com] Sent: Friday, October 18, 2002 8:22 PM To: RCSE Subject: RE: [RCSE] Channel check Yes, this does sound like a business opportunity. However, I caution anyone from trying it. The majority of pilots are either cheap, have limited funds or *both*. This would be ridiculously simply to do and not too expensive. Yet, I know of *no one* who has. Have any of the guys who recently lost a thousand dollars worth of plane(s) and equipment decided to do it? I tend to doubt that there's really a market for this. Glitzy advertising and a cute plastic case could help but it would be challenging. Bill Swingle Janesville, CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
