RE: [RCSE] Push rods
Gidday all, What you are trying to solder is most likely stainless steel and the only flux worth its salt is phosphoric acid. You will be amazed how well it works on stainless or any other material for that matter. A smidgeon on the end of a balsa stick is all that is needed and resin cored solder is OK followed by a damp cloth cleanup.

RE: [RCSE] Servo question
Gidday all, I can confirm that the gears on the 5125 do strip easily, Just a firm landing and the weight of the Flap was enough to strip both flap final gears. Investigation showed that the final gear was aluminium which to my mind is far too soft for the job it has to do. It would be nice to hear from someone that the JR final gear is at least Brass and not subject to failure. I too, await the definitive info.

RE: [RCSE] Extreme DP question
Hi all, I temporarily attached a 3/16 drill to a convenient alloy tube and slid the "long drill" down the fus. Until making contact with the offending bulkhead in the lower quadrant. Then it was a simple matter to twiddle the shaft with the thumb and fore finger until the drill went thru. Then insert the ariel tube and the job is nearly done. To improve the radio range I added approx 20 inches to the ariel and took it up the inside of the fin and glued the end to the top fairing. End of range problems. Regards, John Ensoll.

[RCSE] Mounting servos
Gidday all, Thanks for all the replys to my query, I received 5 in the first 1/2 hour and to date 18 hours later, the number of replies is now 23. Thank you all for your thoughts and time. I have the JR servos, and in the past have used a local bond called urethane bond which remains flexible and is foam friendly. However as I had other work to do on the Cross-tail Eraser, I put out the query. I have decide to go Eric Farmers way which is as follows:- Glue a patch of carbon bidirectional cloth onto the top skin (with resin... this will be permanant). Use either foam safe CA or some 5min to glue the servo directly to this. Be sure you rough up the servo case first to get it something to hold on to. The foam safe CA is not to keep from eating the foam in the wing, because rohacell is CA friendly, but rather because it is somewhat more flexible than regular CA and can be broken away to remove the servo. Same with the 5 min. Use only a small dot of adhesive right in the center of the servo to hold it in place. This will be plenty strong enough for flight loads (My F3B and slope racers are done this way), but will be easily removed in case of maintenance. Thank you Eric. Regards, John Ensoll.

The bombings and now the anthrax scare, (to the media and the politicians), have allowed the authorities to take over. For our own good, you see. These are the same people who proved so incompetent before the bombings but now things are different. As for me, the cops come out when I fly my "guided missiles." Hell, I might have explosives in them. This is what happens when the system is run by faceless cowardly bureaucrats with no accountability. Next the stupid bastards will want us stripped naked and herded onto the great sewer pipes with wings for their own security. And before you ask I do fly but am not a yellow bellied coward about it. Go here to see how bad it can get in a police state, comrade. The terrorists have truly won and defeated us if things like this are allowed to continue. Dennis in New Hampshire. http://www.citypaper.net/articles/101801/news.godfrey.shtml And along that line this article; Don't Go Postal on Airport Security from the L.A. Times, Oct. 19, 2001by John Lott, American Enterprise Institute If you had an important task in which speed and flexibility were vital, would it be better done by government or private employees? The answer seems obvious. Government salaries are fixed, and firing them is virtually impossible. Government bureaucracies are not known for quick adjustments or innovations. Nowadays, even the U.S. Postal Service hires Federal Express to help deliver mail. In the post-Sept. 11 debate, though, it seems taken for granted that the federal government should take over security at airports. The discussion so far involves anecdotal stories of how people were able to breach airport security. The assumption is that this would never occur if only these workers were federal employees. Yet does anyone really wonder whether reporters posing as illegal immigrants could cross the Mexican border? Airport screening is extremely difficult. Terrorists can evade metal detectors with knives made of plastic or ceramics. Thin metal blades can be hard to detect with X-rays and can be hidden in the bottom of shoes or made to look like parts of metal boxes. Even hand checks of all baggage do not guarantee safety. But there is a better approach. Western European countries started privatizing airport security in the early 1990s after spectacular security failures with government-run operations. The governments set standards but left it to the privately run airports to decide exactly how to meet the standards. Private security is not just limited to screening passengers and their baggage. In Britain, for example, private companies also provide gate, aircraft and catering security, as well as crew screening. Similar arrangements exist at such high-risk airports as Amsterdam, Belfast, Brussels, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Paris. At Israel's Ben Gurion Airport, government involvement is more extensive, providing training and controlling access to the tarmac and other sensitive areas. Still, a private company conducts pre-boarding screening and other security operations. What is startling is how the drop-off in hijackings corresponds with the privatization of these services. There were 21 hijackings in Europe during the 1970s, 16 during the 1980s but only four during the 1990s. Out of these 41 hijackings, only three originated from airports with private security. With all the concern about getting qualified people to perform security, Europe's experience has another lesson. Europeans found that some people were too highly trained and got bored and inattentive staring at screens all day. In any event, training standards have nothing to do with workers being employed by the government. Barbers, real estate agents, doctors and others are required to meet minimum training times. In most states, you can't sell real estate without attending classes for at least six months, but no one claims that means agents should be federal employees. Many airlines are losing tens of millions of dollars each day. If they are to survive, people's fear of flying must be dealt with quickly. An airline safety bill that creates one government agency to operate security has passed the Senate and is moving to the House. That solution would eliminate competition that could create innovative ways to protect

RE: [RCSE] Model Airplane News article re: duckies
Hi Mark and all, I have used a "rubber ducky" for many years of thermal soaring, to the limit of my eyesight, and have had no trouble. I fly a Muller 2V, an Esprit and a cobra and if there was the slightest doubt about the range I wouldn't risk the model! The advantages are, the Tx is better ballanced, You don't poke peoples eyes out, you can't short out the battery terminals when fiddling with the winch and you don't dig it into the ground. The one I use can be screwed in to the Tx, directly after removing the manufacturers one. There are no modifications needed. I am using a JR 3810 digital trims Tx (8103 in US ) It is supplied by Canterbury Sailplanes. Have a look at their web site at the end of this message. Regards, John Ensoll.

Following what Gordie told us all about the fabulous antenna article in MAN, I was anxious to get a hold of the latest issue to find out what light Don Edberg would/could shed on the whole subject of flexible duckie antennae (antennas?). Well, knowng Don's affiliation with Futaba and being an 8U user myself, I was pretty diappointed and discouraged to see that he seems to have no confidence in them whatsoever even though he appears to advocate (in the arcticle anyway) the soldering of receiver antennae all to heck!! In the article they even showed a couple of photos of a guy with a bent antenna on his receiver like it's funny or something (OK, I admit it, it IS funny, but only when it's on someone else's TX!). So my question to the group is: Can anyone out there in RCSE-land give us all some feedback on their experiences using a duckie for far ranging thermal soaring? If so, what brand is it, what brand is your TX, where'd you get it, and what results are you getting? Are duckies reliable, or should they only be trusted for relatively in-close HLG and slope flying? I mean, it's 2001, we can make reliable tiny little micro 8 ch receivers! We have quite small 3000 mAh NiMh batteries! We have killer torque metal geared micro servos! Why is it that we can't make a nice short flexible antenna that's either supplied OEM or is at least approved by the manufacturers as an aftermarket part?

Neutral air vectors would be horizontal. Now think of a rising air mass i.e. the wind vector in the wind tunnel is sloping upward towards the plane. To reset to a "neutral AOA" The glider would have to be set with the nose pointing more downward. My 2 Cents.

RE: [RCSE] Preventing Epoxy Bleed/Thank you
Hi Ed, How about some dissemination of your now accumulated wisdom on Bleed thru. I don't remember seeing any replies to all and sundry and I sure would like to Know if there is a better way than sealing the inner veneer surface with water based polyurethane. That is the method I use and the curl will come out when the varnish is dry. The other method would be to varnish both sides at once! and it would stay flat.

RE: [RCSE] fridge motors
Hi Sam, Your refrigeration engineer friend doesn't know his product. I have been using fridge units for approx 8 years and they are quite capable of pulling 25 inches HG. For pink or blue foam I use 20 inches HG and for white foam, 6 inches HG maximum.

A friend who is a refrigeration/aircon mechanic said only about 1" . I have one from a bar fridge that I was hoping to use to bag balsa skins on foam cores with.
