Re: [RCSE] wing building questions.
John--put the .022 on the bottom with CA, then wrap the length with kevlar thread. Warp closely at the root and widen the wraps toward the poly break to maybe 1/4 inch apart. Then CA the thread in place. Makes for a strong spar. A ridge on the wing top is NOT good. Glad you have started the Q. Jim - Original Message - From: John Gossett [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 8:05 AM Subject: [RCSE] wing building questions. Hello All! I got to vacuum bag (balsa sheeted) wings over the holidays and the 7035 HLG wings came out great! Far, far better than my first 3M77 balsa sheeted wings! The other project I am working on is a Quasoar. I glued in all the wood spars and such, but wanted to add more strength so I ordered some 1 carbon laminates to supplement the wood spars. I ordered (based on articles I have read on the web and in RCSE archives) two thicknesses of .022 and .044. However, the .044 is pretty thick! If I were to bag the basla sheeting over them, I would have a raised ridge on the wing. So I am considering two choices - use my new dremel as a router to rout a 1 wide, .044 groove on the bottom over the current spar, or just use the 0.022 on the bottom by itself without any routing. The latter is basically the fast lazy way. What I ask myself is, why is it necessary to go further than just the one .022 addition when the supplied wood spars probably served just fine for many previous Quasoar builders? Is putting the laminate on the bottom the correct placement, or should it be on top if that was the only spar supplement I were to add?

Not to sit behind a screen, and crank out e-mails, and I am not referring to you, but the others of the masses who feel compelled to rip and tear with discrimination, and offer no viable solutions.

I don't think I smiled once last week, but today we did. Unbelievable air, everything was up but velvety smooth. I felt like the trusty 57oz. dorker lite today, one of my favorite models to fly. My first flight of the day and since the F3J team selections gains me my 1 hour thermal for LSF level IV, and it was a really nice flight. I got to sit at the picnic tables with the guys chatting while we all skied out BIG time. That really helps time pass. George came down first after bagging his level II 15 minute flight at over 30 something. TK got bored, landed his Eraser and touched the ice cold molded wings against my arm, the model was chilled from being flown so high. David McCarthy landed and did the same, these planes were frigid, although it was about 70 out. At about that time I was too high, I just dethermalized and pulled the throttle stick to my gut, and watched the dorker go up for another couple of minutes until I tracked out a ways and got it down so I could see the stabs again. I had to work a little through a down cycle and then hooked up and skied out again. Down at 1:02:02 and time for some subs for lunch. One step closer to level IV. The rest of the day was much of the same, guys worked on LSF tasks and lots of ink was flowing on the blue sheets. I think Robin came close as you can to completing most of level 1 in one day. What LSF level are you again, Mr. Wingstedt? 8-) Oh yea, another thing I haven't done all season, a first down contest, with young gofast McCarthy from altitude. My dorker vs. his hera. As soon as I asked if he wanted to go, before the last word was spoken from my mouth, he was already in a vertical dive. However, I was down and landed first... 8-) I wonder if he will tell his Dad about the sound his Hera made on the way down... heh heh heh! I forgot how much first down contests were! Man was it good to get out and fly with friends today, I hope many of you guys got to do the same this weekend.

I recently bought a pre-sheeted Anthem (hi Jerry)from someone I meet off of RCSE. The wings are wonderful, but the only problem is that whoever sheeted the wings did not cut and sand the angle into the root core where it meets the fuse. What would be the best way to get this angle cut or sanded into the root of the core.

Re: [RCSE] Blast from the soaring past.
Hi Kristopher-- How is the rebuild on the Lovesong doing ? Jim - Original Message - From: "Kristopher Harig" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, April 01, 2001 11:26 AM Subject: [RCSE] Blast from the soaring past. Yesterday I got a chance to go over to the local used book store. They had a bunch of old issues of RCM (a few other mags too, but RCM was all I got a chance to really look at). I took the time to dig through the mess and found some really neat stuff. Among the things I found: Construction article for the 'Windfreak' flying wing. Product review of the 'new' Hobie hawk (April 1974!) Construction article for the Gryphon flying wing A picture of a much younger Joe Wurts (1981) Construction article for the Esprit, the American built up one. Proof that one of our local club hot shots (Dale Nutter) has been kicking butt in contests since long before I was born. New found appreciation for modern radio systems. I found several articles from 1965 saying that reliable R/C equipment could be right around the corner. They even had articles on do it yourself TX, RX, and servos. A 4 channel transmitter in 1971 cost $199.00. A featherweight IC servo, only 1.75 oz! for 4lbs of thrust. Park flyers have been around a long, long time, but they were1/4A powered. Women on the cover of RCM way back when were much more suggestive I paid $1 per issue, well worth the enjoyment of browsing though them. So on a cold rainy day might be worth a trip down to the local used book store to dig up some old memories. I bet it will convince you the good old days were maybe not so great after all :).

Hey--RCSE doesnt cost me anything and, I for one enjoy the heck out of it. No change for me.

Also I don't think I have gotten any spam after I post a message w/ onelist. My point is that onelist is a great place to have a newsgroup. I'm not going to try to force people to join onelist because it's their choice. Both RCSE @ airage and onelist have pros and cons. What I suggest is people belong to both newsgroups and free up some space here, and will keep the server from going down.
