I sold my 8103 to a friend and before he could use it the battery self destructed while the radio was sitting in the box. He said that the only apparent damage was to the back side of the case and the battery cover. If anyone has a dead transmitter that they can part with I would appreciate it. Thanks Mike Bailey

No, that's not quite right. I'm not aware of any LiPo cells that allow charging over a 1C rate. So you charge at 1C for the first while, and then once the battery gets mostly full the charge rate slows down. Assuming you're starting with an empty battery (as empty as it can safely be), and set your charger at the 1C rate, after 30 minutes the battery is 50% charged. After 45 minutes it's 75% charged. But soon after the charge rate slows. Eventually the battery is 100% charged, but it took more than an hour.

Re: [RCSE] The 'other' synth modules aren't Evo esque
Just my $.02 I fly mainly at the slope. For the mots part there is not a frequency board. In that case it is proper etiquit to announce your frequency every time you launch even if you have been using that frequency all day. I have two friends that I regulary fly with that use the same frequency as I do. We have to be extra careful when flying together and so far we have not had a problem. I just recieved two Polk Seeker2 recievers and am very happy with them. I have a tracker 3 on order. It might not be the best looking transmitter on the market but to me it is worth it. Last year I accidnetally shot down a $8000 + areobatic plane. It was a bad situation and it cost me. The tracker will help me from getting in this situation again. Mind I said HELP not keep. I will not become complacent about channel selection just because I have more flexibility.

In the interim it would be a great idea (for us here) to come up with something everyone can agree upon. The chicken or the egg...maybe we can advise/direct AMA/MAAC. I think the ability to change frequencies at will, conveniently, is going to have negative consequences for a lot of folks, especially those users who find themselves in the uneviable position of shooting someone down and having to fork out for the resposibility (negligence). I would suggest immediately that field operations dictate anyone who shows up with the ability to change frequencies are obliged to publically annouce which frequency they have chosen to everyone present. They must not change. If he/she elects to move to another frequency, for whatever reason, they must annouce the new frequency, and so on. This may seem harsh, but to protect those who do not have the ability to change frequency at will, need to be protected under the current rules. After all, until new rules are official..the olds rules...will rule (be forewarned those who are now operating synthesized systems). Quoting James V.

[RCSE] Midwestslope.com site has been rebuilt
Well I am not a web designer by any means. When I first set up my site I made it a pain to update so I have reworked the whole thing. This was prompted by my new release of several models.As for the new models, I was able to make it up to Lake Wilson this weekend to test fly my new 60" Cap 232 proto type. I will be producing several different gliders based on full scale power aerobatic planes. The cap flew very well. The size, airfoil, ect... are based on the now largely popular 60" warbirds and the performance is right on par. The weight is around 60 oz for a standard build. Aileron and elevator authority are very good. I will have pictures posted in the morning and hopefully a video later this week.I am still producing the 3 meter fox kits. There is a video if you have not seen it here: http://www.midwestslope.com/fox/video1.aviI have started on a 2 meter prototype and if I can get it done by this weekend I will get to maiden it this weekend.So let me know what you think the site is at www.midwestslope.comMike

Inbox Filters I now have 3 filters in place. Due to the limitations of the old software on my old email computer I have no other choice but to delete emails from Orman, mrmaseratiman or sneidley directly from my ISP server. A better computer would have more options but this one doesn't. Perhaps it is time to seriously reconsider the format of this list. Once before, I brought up the question of whether a forum format would not prove to be more useful, consume less bandwidth, and require less inbox maintenance on the part of the lists customers. Now, with spam-mail appearing to have become unstoppable, we need to start thinking outside the box. A forum format would defeat the e-mail spammers as nothing would get sent by e-mail. I belong to a variety of internet forums and I have not seen any virus-spam-mail in the forums that I belong to. Just to review the advantages of using a forum format: - consumes less bandwidth, only the messages that the customer wants to read are downloaded - organizes all replies to a topic into a single thread that can easily be read in part or its entirty without searching - requires less inbox maintenance on the part of the customer. Topics/replies that are of no interest to the reader would not even have to be downloaded. (thus eliminating the need to download all the ... so there, Gordy replies) - potentially eliminates the incidence of virus-spam-mail - the ability to go back and edit posts that contained erroneous information - as opposed to e-mail, which, when sent, is unretrievable - an advantage for the list providers is the ability to sell advertising space on the forum's web-page. Don't have a cow on this one - there is nothing wrong with advertising. Advertising is how we find out about new products. I spend as much time reading ads in magazines as I do articles. Disadvantages of going to a forum format: - change - some people hate change Me? I embrace change as long as the benefits outweigh the costs. Right now, the costs of downloading all of the list's e-mails over 28.8k dial-up (upgrading is not possible), spending time searching through reply after reply after reply for topics of interest, spending time deleting e-mails in which I have no interest, etc., etc., etc., is outweighing the benefit I receive from the one or two threads per week that are of interest and use to me. I am seriously considering whether I intend to remain subscribed to this list. Don't get me wrong - I would really like to get those topics, I would just prefer to do so without wading through all of the other stuff. I expect to get my fair share of flames on this, but that is of no concern to me as I only expressing my opinion and have no intention of debating the subject.

Re: [RCSE] Which wing is faster?... Covered Foam or Covered Sheeted...
I manufacture one of the EPP ODR kits the Foam-one. Getting the wing stiff has been the biggest effort. The first year I raced the wind would flex 4 in the turn. I have gone through about 5 versions sence then and finally ended up using a full span carbon spar on one side and a half span spar on the other. This ends up with a wing that will not visably flex even at the 35 oz max weight. This has really helped the performance. I also have been adding several pieces of diagonal strapping tape to keep the wing from twisting. I have DS'd this set up. The ailerons did start to flutter at speed, probably the wing also but it was going faster than it ever had before. I have seen a funone go twice as fast DS'ing but it is atleast twice as stiff. Both my plane and the Cobra Racer have beat alot of balsa and glass planes but more of those planes are lost to collisions. It is not uncommon at the Midwest Slope Challenge to have 10 or more midairs that end up with guys trying to fix their planes before the next round. I have had plenty of midairs and it always survived. This weekend I was goofing off and ended up stuffing it into the face of the hill inverted at speed. I just picked it up and threw it again. Like the others have said. If you take your time and do a good job you can end up with a fast plane. It may not be the absoulte fastest but it is usually the pilot that wins not the plane.

Both are filmed surfaces, but the question was about which would be faster on a slope racer in the One Design class. Most of the discussion revolved around the flexibility of the wing.

The plane would not fly worth a darn and tip stalled constantly. Finally we broke the thing in half on one rather hard landing. We searched for something to use as a splice to splice the thing back together and finally after much rummaging through his car found a long barbecue fork. We stuck the prongs into the nose of the glider and folded it back along the belly and taped her up real good to hold things together. Not sure what effect the barbecue fork hard on the plane, but it flew respectably well the rest of the day without another crash. We scrapped the project after that.

Re: [RCSE] 6.0v rx packs for hitec rx's
I have had experience with the JR 610 reciever not liking 5 cell. It will glitch on a fully charged pack. This showed up on a 1/6 scale extra that I had. I switched back to 4 cells. I saw a guy with a BIG DC-3 fight a glitch problem for 30 min. I suggested to him that it might be his 5 cell pack.

A 5-cell pack, freshly charged, puts out almost 7 volts. 2) Increase the current draw of the equipment resulting in less flying time 3) Increase the speed/torque but you also decrease the life expectancy of your servos 4) Some equipment seems to get a little nervous on 5-cells yet is fine on a standard 4-cell pack My question would be WHY?

Re: [RCSE] What I found out about tooling costs.
With some work you could probably make a wing plug and then lay up an acceptable set of wing molds. The costs would only be comparatively low with more labor on your part. You can also do a good job with bagged wings. Mike - Original Message - From: bcourtice [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 9:52 PM Subject: [RCSE] What I found out about tooling costs. Several people replied to my inquiry off-line, and several others have also asked me what I may have found out. The reason I asked the question to start with is that I like to design and fly PSS warbirds, and I have often thought it would be very cool if there were some high quality all composite kits available. I imagine the market is probably not that large. It may even be doubtful that a quality product could be realized with any reasonable hope of making a couple of bucks or at least breaking even on the investment. Still, it sure would be nice to be able to buy a slope warbird with the same level of quality and prefabrication that we are now finding in the conventional moldie market. What I found out is that CNC molds are VERY expensive! One gentleman is working on tooling a design and was quoted $4,000 per wing. Tome Copp of f3x.com said he could probably get the job done for about $5,000. Several others estimated prices in the $20,000 plus range!! Anyway, at this point I am not feeling very inclined to jump right in! I am actually pretty amazed that we have as many molded airplanes to choose from as we do, considering how expensive it is for manufacturers to market a product of this type. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

[RCSE] Feburary contest at Wilson, KS
Weather permitting, I would like to organize a slope contest in February. The events would be foamy pylon racing, foamy combat on a Saturday and maybe F3B and funflying on Sunday. The foamy pylon racing would be for EPP planes under 60 wingspan. Planes like 60 EPP racers, flying wings, warbirds, etc. The course will be short to even out the competition. I need to know if there are any contests in February to avoid. I also would like anyone interested to email me so I can get an idea of how many will participate. The entry fee will be something like $2 total so we can hand out a few trophies. As for the weather. We have been having so far this year. I will be watching the weather as that weekend approaches and would expect to move it out if it is snowing and 20 deg. Mike RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Someone suggested build a slope, no joke. My ideal slope is a hexagon shaped mesa with each side 1000 feet long or longer. It should be at least 500 feet above the surrounding area and have walls which slope at approx. 60 degrees. Also the top should have one tree so if you're going to crash you'll know where. Naturally, the above hypothetical slope would take an impractical amount of dirt. A somewhat more practical approach would be a simple berm shaped like an L. Make it as high as you can and then size your planes to match whatever you build. Then invite me over to try it! Bill Swingle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Janesville, CA Nonono, you got it all wrong... :o) All you need is a single long berm kinda like a dam, with round sissy LZs on either end. Mount the thing on a big turn table, and have a small wind vane feed a computerized motor which automatically turns the berm perpendicular to the wind. Now you can BS (ballistic slope'n) and DS to your heart's content. Improve upon that by placing a long row of major wind machines just far enough away that they don't interfere with turn-table operation. If it ain't blowing, just align the berm with the wind machines, flick a switch, and hold on to your hat. But the best improvement is to build a circular rail road around the turn table with all the wind machines mounted on a train. This way, you can always position the wind machines in line with the prevailing wind and augment the natural breeze when needed. Let me know when you're done... :o) Happy Holidays!

Re: Total newbie question (was: Re: [RCSE] DS wing joiners)
Dynamic Soaring. It is a method of flying that will get a glider going faster than possible even in a dive. There are 2 videos at http://midwestslope.tripod.com/ There is also more info at http://www.charlesriverrc.org/articles/flying/markdrela_ds.htm The low down is to find a ridge where the front and back side are close together like a lake dam. You launch on the front side turn the plane towards the hill and fly over the top and down the down wind side. Once you are below the top of the hill a ways you turn back towards the top of the hill and fly back to over the peak before turning back down wind. While on the back side the flight path will follow the slope of the hill. The purose for doing this is there is an energy/airspeed gain when you pass through the zone between the air pasing over the hill and the calm air on the back side. This is explained further on the second link. Feel free to ask more questions.

These steel joiners also add the extra mass you might want when DS'ing in extreme conditions. I guarantee that something else will break before these joiners fail.

Re: [RCSE] Re: Bungee launching
Be careful when bungee launching a foamie expecially if it is not built for it. I have pounded two of them when the speed over powered the ailerons. Just start with a couple of pounds of pull and work up from there unless the plane is built for it. I would say that a standard high start can pull between 5 to 10 lbs. Maybe more but not much. If you want more then double up the rubber. I have seen people launching DAW ME163's with 1/2 tubing. It got a wow and a gasp from the on lookers every time. Several hundred feet strait up after a horizontal release.

Re: [RCSE] DLG frustration
The two things that I can think of that would cause that are: releasing too late and hooking the release.. Releasing too early should only cost you launch height. By hooking I mean that your body stops rotating but your arm still is. This is also linked to releasing too late. There are alot of factors that can cause you problems but if it flies good then it is probably tecnique. BTW not everyone can throw a DLG to 100'. I usually throw to my javelin launch height. This is easier on my body and the plane. When I start pushing it alot I usually hurt one of the two but it is still better than javelin.

I even went out an bought a Cirrus Gyro for it but the resulting launch is very little different than the one w/o a gyro using preset rudder. I have a peg in the left wing tip but am currently not using it. I have tried launching with the hand in various locations at the time, some close or actually in front of the LE, others further behind. The plane wants to do part of a slow left barrel roll wasting most of the energy put into the launch. I even added a little down preset and although it as a little more stable, the launch was flatter. I'm getting little more in height than I do on a javelin launch while my little Goblin, thrown in a similar manner, launches 80 to 100' normally. I'm wondering if I have enough rudder travel? I could change the EPA on the rudder servo to 125% or more and use the preset at 100% so the gyro can move the rudder the 125% during the launch. After releasing the preset, rudder travel would be set at about 66% to give me the original travel before these adjustments.
