RE: [RCSE] PVA Help
Bill PVA is soluble in water, but it produces a colloidal solution rather than a aqueous one. Are there any numbers after the trade name? eg. 20-105? If it is 20-105 (20% hydrolysis, 105 centipoise viscosity) or greater then you will need to dissolve it in a mixture of alcohol and water. Preferably methanol (which is used in the alcoholysis process) but ethanol (rubbing alcohol) will do. Why are you trying to thin PVA?

RE: [RCSE] Lost Foam Goo
Did you cover the foam with packing tape before laying up the hull? Once you dissolve the foam the packing tape helps you pull the rest of the goop out.

I cut a hole about two inches wide in the glass which covered the whole part. I then poured in a bit of acetone and watched the foam melt and sizzle away, adding more juice as needed. When all the foam had melted, though, it was left in the form of a black, messy goo that refused to be scraped out or pulled out with ease. Do any of you out there have any experience in this region?

RE: [RCSE] f3b event
Firstly let me qualify this post by saying that I was not present and I have formed my opinions about the incident solely on the reports in RCSE. I think anyone placed in a similar situation would have done the same thing. But an attempt was made to conceal the mismatched wing with tape. So obviously Darryl et. al. were well aware of the rules. Since they had to resort to deception, In my mind and also theirs, they were cheating. I am well aware that Daryl is a very skilled pilot, and deserves to be a member of the US team but what about the 4th placed pilot? I wonder if Joe Average would have gotten away with it. Flame away. -Original Message- From: Jason Werner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 8 September 2000 1:03 PM To: soaring Subject: [RCSE] F3B event To those who wonder about the DP plane change. Several asked my thoughts on it and if it was legal. Let me just say this. If I was in Darryl's place I believe I would have done the exact same thing. He needed a plane to fly, someone presented a possible fix, and several started working on the fix. Simple. The CD and jury (and competitors) are the ones who should rule his plane as legal or not. The CD said it was fine, and he flew. That's it, no judgement, no protest, no issue from me. Darryl competed, he qualified, and to be honest he FLEW to thrid place (and a place on the team). I respect that and for everyone on the team (and especially those pesky east coast guys who were almost on the team) I say congrats. Jason Werner RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Michael Melbourne, Australia ICQ 3481522 -Original Message- From: Jim Cubbage [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 25 July 2000 7:20 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Cc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [RCSE] Mine is Better Than Yours snip Actually, when Dennis lost the cup the first time, Stars and Stripes was at a distinct disadvantage in the lighter winds to the Kiwi's famed winged keel. That boat proved better on all points of sail in the lighter winds. This design proved so successful that in all of the keel designs of today, you will see a variation on that concept. Everyone has wings now a days. SaS did better in the higher winds, which were not to be found during the contest. I remember Conner winning a couple of races that year to the cheers of the Brigade. Being a sailing school they would announce the roundings regularly. However, I believe the advantage was about .5 knots better speed which at the roundings would translate into 5 to 15 second advantage per leg. In sailing at that level, that is HUGE! In America's cup races, if you win a race by 30 seconds, that is considered blowing them away. This forced Conner to take more chances. He couldn't play cover so he would mix it up, trying to get into a tacking duel, but the Kiwi's were better. His only chance was to run away from the Kiwi's try and find more wind on the other side of the course. When splitting, you risk all. Sure, he lost and sometimes big, but if he stayed with it, sailed conservative, then he surely would have lost but only by the speed difference of the boats. __ Do You Yahoo!?

[RCSE] Vacuum bagging and leading edges.
I am having a great deal of trouble getting a decent leading edge on my vacuum bagged HLG wings. I cut the Mylar about 1/8" short of the leading edge. I apply a 1" wide strip of 1.5 oz glass cloth to the leading edge with 3M super 77 spray and then wet out the glass with a brush and scrape the excess off with a plastic card. I then wet out the glass on the Mylar and place it around the core. The Mylar is cut about 1/8" short of the leading edge. I then cover the Mylar, including the exposed leading edge with hand towel paper as a breather and the whole lot goes into the vacuum bag. When set, the leading edge seems to require a lot of sanding and I usually end up exposing the core in a number of places. I have also tried using peel ply over the exposed leading edge but this seems to leave it too dry. Next I thought I would place nothing over the exposed leading edge, instead relying on the vacuum bag to give me a nice surface. Can anyone offer me any suggestions? If I cant just sort out the leading edges I will have myself a set of beautiful wings. Michael Melbourne, Australia __ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!

Low-mist, variable-width spray pattern. Adhesive, 3M(TM) Super 77 Spray Fast, aggressive tack for bonding many lightweight materials. Long bonding range with little or no soak-in.
