[RCSE] WTB Hand launch DLG
Hi Alberto The Longshot and Lonbgshot 2 are both good models. I'd recommend them not just for fun flying either, they both perform well.

[RCSE] F3J worlds.. Who do you want to win????
I'll have to choose Craig Goodrum, currenlty chewing my fingers to the bone waiting to see if he makes the fly offs. There after it will have to be someone from the South. David Hobby or Sven Zaalberg.

How cool is it that Joe Wurts is not only helping tean NZ, but helping out JR USA team as well :-) Then it's David Hobby What a great person.,... Timed for me twice at this years IHLGF and never let on that he was two time world F3J champ.. How cool is that?? And had the nearve to ask him if he was any good at reading air :-) Dam I'm an idiot :- Now I have to use the Gordy rule about not saying anything bad about people.. Most of us were born with hand built Oly 2's or Windwards - Winfree's and work for a living and this is just a hobby to us...But some of us were born with Gold plated Supra's in our mouths and have nothing to do but fly toy airplanes and act like a BIG DICK Shit Did I just say that??? LoL :- I guess I did :- ))) And I hope they fail Craig. --0-718935986-1215147890=:83115 Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit First of all I think this is the year of the American Jr's...

[RCSE] F3J stuff....
Hi Chip The South African team used two yokes made up by laminating multiple layers (4) of 10mm (+-3/8) ply wood. The material in mine was the base of a packing crate that some large printers came in. The laminate was cut to shape with a jig saw, and finished with a router and belt sander. Finally the wood was sealed and some rubber (old bicycle inner tube) wrapped around the grip area. If you mail me off line I'll take some picks and rough dimensions and send along. Regards Mark Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2006 20:36:28 -0400 From: Chip Willis [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: soaring@airage.com Subject: F3J stuff Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I just got some 150lb mono line in from Memphis Twine, thanks for the referral guys on RCG. Anyhow, I need to fashion some sort of handle for both 1 and 2 man tows. Any ideas? I figure it will have to be made from common materials, but right now i'm at a loss as to what to use.

[RCSE] F3B World Champs History
-- Forwarded Message --- From: Ilma Stockton [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: MGASA [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mon, 21 Feb 2005 19:07:55 +0200 Subject: [mgasa] F3B World Champs I am trying to gather information regarding all the world champs for F3B, both the ones we did and did not participate in. The information I want is, who made up our team (3 pilots, team, manager and helpers), where the individuals were placed and where the team was placed. Which individual came 1st, 2nd and 3rd, and which teams came 1st, 2nd and 3rd. It would also be nice if I could get hold of the Logo's used for the various events. This is for the www.f3x.za.org website. Thanks Ilma RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] 555 antenna length
Hi All We in South Africa are having a great deal of success extending the antenna on our 35Mhz JR / Graupner receivers. Having performed the calculation below, I come up with a quarter wavelength of 2,141M. Would this explain why extending our antenna works so well? Does anyone else have similar exerience? Our theory was that we where compensating for the blancking (faradays cage) effect of carbon in our fuselages. Regards Mark -- Original Message --- From: Soaring@airage.com (Soaring) To: Soaring@airage.com Sent: Wed, 26 Jan 2005 06:21:43 -0500 Subject: Soaring V1 #5035 David, If you're fussy, the correct antenna length depends upon the frequency. Wavelength = Speed of Light / frequency In meters = 299, 792.458 / frequency in MHz In inches = 11,802,852.6771654 / frequency in MHz Quarter Wave = Wavelength / 4 R/C receiver antenna are typically quarter wave, so compute the wave length using a formula above and then divide by 4. For example 72.000 MHz frequency band generically, ignoring decimal 1/4 Wave = 1.0409 meter (1040.9 mm) 1/4 Wave = 40.982 inch 72.270 MHz frequency, specifically 1/4 Wave = 1.0370 meter (1037.0 mm) 1/4 Wave = 40.829 inch Higher the frequency, shorter the antenna. Note that the computed lengths are total, not just the portion sticking out of the receiver case. Total length will include any wire inside the case plus the length of trace on the PC board.
