[RCSE] Sailaire Spoiler Servo Mount
Hi I'm currently building a dchobby's Sailaire and the plans are not very clear about where the servo for the spoilers should be mounted. The control tubes for the spoilers exit the wings at quite a sharp angle so I'm guessing the servo must be quite far forward? Also I've seen a few posts mentioning actually putting mini servos in the wings for the spoilers, is this a good idea? If wanyone has a picture of the servo bay of a sailaire could you please send it to me?

[RCSE] Breaking strength of CF
Does anyone know of a site with details of the Breaking strength of various sizes of Carbon Fiber rods and tubes? I want to know what size CF rod to substitute for the normal silver-steel wing joiners. Thanks RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] receiver crystals
I know it's not recomended, but guys at our club have had interesting results by mixing crystals and receivers around. There seems to be no set rules, but by trial-and-error we have been able to extend the range of receivers quite significantly just by trying different crystals. So I would go ahead and experiment, if it is better than the original then stick with it. Although I always do my range and other tests at the field with other flyers around so that if there's any interference related issues you'll pick them up.

[RCSE] 1/4 scale Ventus
Hi, I've got an offer to buy an old 1/4 Scale Ventus Kit (made in Zimbabwe) for ZAR2500 which is about $250. Is that a good price, it's for kit only not the radio etc. Richard RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] scale plans?
try www.vth.de it's a german site but they have lots of scale plans for powered and unpowered flight. If you search for "Engl. Sprache" or just "sprache" you'll get all the english plans. -Original Message- From: Douglas, Brent [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Mon 25 November 2002 06:48 To: Soaring Subject: [RCSE] scale plans? Hi all, Anyone have a good source for scale glider plans? All I've found is SE Modeler, and they are mostly too small. I'm looking for 1/4 scale, built up - I am leaning towards Bob's documentation, but that means scaling all up manually, and if there are good plans out there already, I'd prefer that.

[RCSE] Bobcat mods.
Hi everyone, I've just received delivery of a Dynaflite Bobcat, and as I'm still finishing off my current project, I was wondering if there are any suggestions of modifications for better performance of the Bobcat that I should be aware of before starting?

[RCSE] illegal frequencies
Just out of curiosity, as I'm from South Africa, what are the penalties for using an 'illegal' frequency in the States?

RE: [RCSE] Speed Control Question!
Hi Jim, You say you use it for speed control, do you mean you have a sliding connection along the steel bar that works like a car accelerator for the winch? Richard -Original Message- From: Eddie Smith [mailto:eddie.camtech@;adelaide.on.net] Sent: Thu 14 November 2002 01:28 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [RCSE] Speed Control Question! Jim, I use a strip of stainless steel to drop the voltage on my winches for speed control. This is much easier than pulsing. You could run a similar strip of stainless in your drive circuit of your retriever. Try 1" wide, .032" thick and about 18" long to start with. With a meter you could check the voltage across the motor under load and trim the length to get the power you need. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] Flying a wing for the first time
Thanks for all the comments, I have put some more pictures at: http://users.deadset-chat.com/fantastico/ They were all taken a few weeks ago before I started covering, I'm now busy covering using Dave Browns SkyLoft and Dope. The plans come from VTH a german model web store with an excellent plans section. you can find them at: http://www.vth.de follow the "Modelbau" link then "Onlineshop" Most of the plans are in German (like the one I bought) but if you search for "englisch sprache" you will get all the english plans. So not only was it a complicated plane to build I also had to struggle through German instructions. Yes, Chris, I had to first build a curved building board for the wings and another curved one for the wingtips before I could actually start with the plane. But now the building board doubles as a storage case so it's ok. Thanks for the suggestions too, but general consensus is that the CG is very critical on a wing but yet some of you suggest adding weight to the nose for the first few launches? I like the idea of using a pickup truck to test it, maybe Izak can help me out on that. thanks Richard RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
