[RCSE] Hitec Supreme 8 channels

[RCSE] 4-servo flying wing / 8103 help
I'm assembling a 100" EPP wing that uses a 50" center section and 25" tip sections. Each tip section has a servo/control surface and the center section has a pair of servos/control surfaces. The wing (Queen Bee) was designed to use y-servo connectors when assembled as a simple elevon wing , a la Zagi on steroids. I would like to try something more exotic like using the inboard surfaces as flaps or spoilers for landing. I will likely use the y-connectors initially to tweak CG and get used to the thing. I'll be using the 8103 and Berg 6 with HiTec 300 servos. Question: Since the bird has to be set up with elevons, what is the best way to set up a 4-servo flying wing so that it has spoilers or flaps when using the 8103? Has any RCSE folk used such a wing? -- Len Revelle N9IJ "My career goal is to retire" RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Frequency Synthesization
Co-channel problems are another issue, though very real. In either
case the result may be the same.
The current frequency control systems at most clubs work but still
depend upon the user to follow the procedures. Giving everyone the
ability to readily change frequency adds another variable the we only
occasionally have to deal with now. I've seen this happen already and
very few at our power club have Spectra modules.

Re: [RCSE] Park Flyer
Actually the onus lies on all. Under AMA safety rules, and I'd suspect the concept holds true with other underwriters, we are responsible to, "not knowingly operate a radio controlled aircraft within three miles of an operating flying site without a frequency use agreement," or something close in wording. Of course the concern is with the guy/gal who buys a park flier without being told by the seller of frequency use concerns, etc.. and this will happen if park flieres become staples of Wal-Mart and the chain stores. I would hope our neighborhood hobby shop will tell them. Some park districts here in the Chicago 'burbs have little mentioned bans against model aircraft operation.

Re: [RCSE] 8103 Rudd/Elev programming from Sherman Knight
One BIG advantage to me when mixing rudder to the aileron stick is the
fact that the rudder stick remains active.
As a right hander ( and an amateur) the first second or so of launch
finds my strong hand transitioning from the throw to the right stick.
A loose toss can be immediately hairy (or most Hobie launches I've
seen) so I prefer having the ability of having the rudder available to
the left thumb initially.

Re: [RCSE] Launching with ailerons reversed
Can't imagine reversed ailerons! Had a guy talk me into launching his electric with rudder on left and elevator on right. Was amazed how uncomfortable I was . I fly power as well and am accustomed to co-ordinated turns but not having the "turner" where it should be was weird. Ended up coming around and landing, beautifully I might add, but was still puckered. - Original Message - From: Bill Swingle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 1999 04:52 PM Subject: [RCSE] Launching with ailerons reversed > I'm always impressed by those who can successfully fly multiple control modes. > > I'm frequently amazed by how ingrained the flying skills are.

Re: [RCSE] Old age sucks..
Ahhh, but Grasshopper recall the advantages old age bears as well. The error in dates is excusable with old age, one can flirt with the younger gals and call it senility, heck one can even not recall it at all! Many advantages to getting oldre if one thinks about it. - Original Message - From: Michael Frickey To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 01, 1999 05:53 AM Subject: [RCSE] Old age sucks.. Re: Kansas contest. Due to many years of brake dust and exhaust I goofed on the schedule. It has moved to the weekend before Halloween, 23 and 24. Sorry for the conflict, but the kids here are all grown and I'm too old to trick or treatmaybe not, I do look a lot like Yoda!
