[RCSE] RE: Vulcan
Mark, If that's the 2 meter, V-tailed Vulcan, I have a partially-completed kit and the instructions. Confirm that we are talking about the same glider and I'll dig them up and scan them to you.

[RCSE] Old DJ Aero Monarch 2M...
Talk about blast from the past... I've had one of these kits haunting my basement for years and I thought I've finally apply enough sandpaper, epoxy, and servos to it to make it fly. This is the original with the funky wingtips made of an upper and lower fiberglass molding that are joined poorly. I intend to use them as models and carve a replacement set out of balsa, then glass them. Besides that, any other cautions or suggestions? Anyone have a spare set of those wingtips that are reasonably constructed that they want to get rid of? Greg in Minneapolis RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Old DJ Aero Monarch 2M...
Bill, That story makes me even more eager to get it going. I hate to admit it, but it will be my 1st 4 servo wing and my 1st few winch launches with it will put me over my 1st 10 winch launches! I'm a competent pilot with fast aerobatic, 3D, DLG's, park fliers, pylon racers, rocket boosted gliders, helis, electric duration gliders, various slopers, etc, but I've never flown medium to larger gliders... Should be fun. I got the wing servos and horns mounted yesterday and got the transmitter programmed up. Tonight was mounting the wing and tail. Tomorrow's the tail servos/linkages and towhook. I'm trying to get it flying to go push it around in a local contest this weekend... I won't do well, but I'll learn bunches! Greg in Minneapolis -Original Message- Hey I had one of those! I love that thin, low aspect ratio wing with those huge flaps. SNIP I looked for the rest of that day, and most of the next. A farmer found it a year later. Bummer. I liked that thin, low aspect ratio wing and those nice big flaps. I don't suppose anyone has one in a box just sorta lying about RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Wanted: Hotliner/Sloper Wing
I had a shop accident with an NSP Sparrow Composite wing that I'd gotten to use for a hotliner. I'm looking for a replacement... need a roughly 60 span, 7 root chord hotliner/sloper wing with an RG-15/RG-14 or similar airfoil. Please respond to me at '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. TIA!

[RCSE] NSP Omega as DLHGL?
Has anyone considered converting one of the NSP Omega's to DL? I picked up one of these last summer later in the season and didn't get around to putting it together then. Now, DL is the rage and I have one very obsolete HLG. Reading some of what others have said and looking at it, I have hope. I think that the original v-tail may work ok as it is an aileron ship, but more likely I'll need to shorten the fuselage slightly and put on a regular rudder/stab combo. As for the wing, I think the composite LE/TE may be sufficiently strong... this is why I'm thinking this way at all. I'd expect I'd want to glue together the center section (instead of just bolting it onto the fuse) and add some sheet-fill reinforcement around the throwing peg area, perhaps filling in 2-3 tip bays with light balsa, along with a kevlar patch top and bottom. Thoughts? TIA! Greg Stewart (Minneapolis, MN, USA) RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send subscribe and unsubscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[RCSE] RE: Gentle Lady
Steve, The GL will require some noseweight over a minimum RC setup. I strongly recommend you leave the nose the stock length and add weight as needed to get the recommended balance point. The noseweight is not a problem for performance... the reduced damping and increased tendency to oscillate in pitch that you'll get from lengthening the nose will reduce flyability. To minimize the amount of noseweight needed, install the servos as far forward as you can, extending the pushrods as needed. Put the receiver just ahead of the servos with just enough room for the battery ahead of it. Then increase the capacity of the battery using 1400 MaH to 2400 MaH cells... this will add weight where you need it, but it will be useful weight rather than dead weight. Remember these cells will take a LOT longer to charge with the stock system charger... 2-4 times longer. If you do these things, the amount of noseweight you'll need to add will be minimized and the overall weight gain will also be minimized because you'll be putting the mass of your RC system where it helps the plane to balance.

I do not want to have to add nose weight later when I could extend to nose now if needed. Thanks for you help! RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
