[RCSE] 2M

2005-02-14 Thread Matt Fair
The reason people do not like to fly 2m because it is
more difficult than flying the unlimited ships.  Wow,
think about it you actually have to think, work
harder, fly cleaner and be able to read the air better
i.e. its a challenge.  

I actually prefer to fly my 2m over unlimited. I also
fly my 2m in unlimited class in contests; sometimes I
walk away with wood from the contest and
bragging rights that I was able to place against
people with sometimes more than a meter of wingspan to
their advantage.

I know I am going to catch a lot of grief for this
post, but while I am at it I prefer JR servos and I
prefer bagged ships over molded ships.

RE: [RCSE] Receivers and Carbon/Kevlar fuselages

2002-02-05 Thread Matt Fair

I have used a Jr NER-549x with my organic and it never
passed a range check. However, I have used it in my
hobie hawk (before I sold it) and it worked
flawlessly.
I have also used the new Jr 7channel 700superslim
receiver in the same organic and have had the simmilar
results.  I purchased a Hitec superslim (jr switch)
and have had no issues thus far.  Both of these were
used with FM 72.850 ch 53.

I recently purchased a Hera LT that has a
carbon/kevlar fuse and went with the hitec superslim
and have had no issues.

I have given up on Jr receivers for use within the
carbon/kevlar fuselages.  Hitec seems to work the best
for me so far and I have heard of others going from JR
to hitec due to glitching and range issues.

Group,

There's been some past discussion about using JR
receivers in fuselages 
made 
of that lightweight carbon/kevlar cloth.

I just bought and Eraser Xtreme at the SWC.  Its
fuselage is made from 
the 
carbon/kevlar cloth.  All my receivers are the JR R600
type, and they 
have 
given me flawless performance.

I seem to recall people having problems with the JR
RX's in such ships 
as 
the Artemis LT and NYX.

What was the model numbers of the JR RX's that didn't
work, and do you 
know 
of any that do?  Going to a JR PCM RX isn't an option
as I'm using a 
Stylus 
to drive the receivers.

In our local club, I know of 2 guys flying Eraser
Xtreme's with JR R600 
receivers and they don't seem to be having any
problems.  Both are 
being 
driven by Profi 4000 radios.  Antenna's are run inside
the fuselage.  
Don't 
know what their frequencies are, though.

Comments??

[RCSE] re: adjustable towhook

2002-01-26 Thread Matt Fair

I have an organic with the same tow hook and it isnt
very adjustable, but it is strong and light.  If
someone has it rigged as adjustable, I would certainly
like to see it or read how they did it...  Would be
nice to have an adjustable towhook on my organic.

Kurt,

Check out the titanium hook that Star Flight sells. 
This is the one 
used on the Organic, Graphite, etc.

[RCSE] al and his ebay post

2001-08-26 Thread Matt Fair

Al,

I have to join the others in busting your chops over
your email regarding misspelled words.  You
incorrectly spelled personal and magazine.  You should
visit ebay and purchase a Speak and Spell  But who
wants to be an anal jerk here... You are just totally
wrong and truly owe spindle, voss, and everyone who
subscribes to this list an apology for having to read
your garbage.

Well until you apologize, may you never find another
thermal and spend the rest of your soaring days in
sink hell.

Two items on ebay for sailplaners.  2 Hobie Hawks and
a
NIB Grand Esprit.  See the below links.  These are
not
mine, but knew some on the list would be interested.

It looks like this forum is your personnel for sale
forum. Do you not 
have 
anything better to do, than sell your items on this
forum?

Why do you not take out an ad, in a magizine?

To cheap?

Thought so.
