Re: [RCSE] Teaching a kid
I'll let you know how it goes... You might consider a foammy like a zagi, it will get him in the air which is a required skill builder, and the amount of beating those can take is amazing. So he can let his friends fly it without you cringing, even if it doesnt come back. Doing something dad's doing with his friends is a good thing.

Re: [RCSE] data storage for JR9303
No matter how you look at it, there can be no rational justification for that dumb interface. Marketing??? IF they put a serial port on it or a USB port on it, they cant sell you an adapter!! sounds like justification to me ???

Re: [RCSE] An R/C Probability Brain Teaser
22 gives a probability 99.58%. nah more like 3 once you get more than 3 going, especially if no one brings a 2nd TX on a different freq, though i think if one does, then it might take 4 :D RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] keep politics off the exchange
Im just curious here, I know i said id post and run on this topic but ive still been reading all the responses not to pick on *this* specific poster and ive sniped parts I dont wanna reply to. THERE IS NO GOVERNMENT THREAT TO OUR HOBBY!!! This is OUR HOBBY limited to ONLY gliders? or is it also including gas/electric rc planes. and is GOVERNMENT limited to ONLY federal government?? what about state and local, how do you define threat?? whole thread started by one poor soul mentioning he got interference whenever Bush was in town and was wondering if it was related to his visits. That's All!! true, but the subject isnt exactly specifically limited to the first post, look at any mailing list/news group/ private forum the topic is often a starter to a longer thread, useful or not. the OP probibly knew that when [s]he posted and you probibly knew that when you signed up. and if that itself is a suprise it happens on most threads from recievers to government threats to servos. I fly almost every day on the center grass median of Capital Ave. in Sacramento, a 1/2 block from the Capital and within easy reach of Arnold's smoking tent. I have had a few interested official looking people check me out, but besides that they have left me alone. lucky you. i tried flying in a grass field near a popular park(i had the private owners permission in writing) which in all the laws I could find was not illegal, and yet an hour in i had the police(well 1 unit anyway) diging thru his book to find the law that said i couldnt fly there, anyway i was not cited but told to leave and that was enough for me, i still have not found that law I too had entertained a small group of people the police officer sure didnt care about that :D btw that was with a dynaflite talon. This is probably illegal as hell, and if I was told to fly somewhere else I would. I seem to entertain a lot of state worker during their lunch break. So one has even thought that somehow I am a security risk. snip It may or may not be, but why dont you KNOW one way or another ??? This is a Soaring Exchange for gods sake, snip true but still not specifically limiting, at lest 1/2 of the responses had a tie to some kind of rc playing. even some of the NRA stuff had good points, even if you agree with or disagree with the NRA, they like us are a collection of people that wanna play with toys that some people are either uneducated about, or just scared of. two things that often drive government and laws, and they manage to deal with the government very well. --- No one gets too old to learn a new way of being stupid.

Re: [RCSE] Security issues and R/C models
I was gona stay away from this topic and i think ill still only touch it and run!!!, for too many reasons. With a payload capacity of less than a pound its not going to be that effective. There's also not that much room in the fuse for that payload, especially if you want to keep the CG within a controllable range. i fly 2 completely DIY planes with more than 6lbs of additional cargo in the form of camera,gps,image/gps data transmiter,additional batteries,autopilot they are not gliders but they are small electric powered 50 and 80 wingspans with single cheapo 400 motors. the glide ratio is awesome intentionally because i dont photo with the motor on. but for a full glider a different launching device would be required but shouldnt require a lot of thought considering I WILL NOT highstart/winch launch a $500 camera and $$$ in accesseries) thats my touch and here i run :D RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Need some help winding up my hi start.
I wind the rubber up first to get a larger dia. hub to wind the nylon string up faster, but alas, its way too slow for this aging flyer. Any out there with a better idea including some type of power rig. I thought about some type of spool that I could put on a cordless drill motor. Any Help out there? another not quite the answer but if you mark the middle and wind from the middle you have 1/2 the winding to do. also you can get spools and cordless drills that will work, if you cant find the spool you want then you can always make one.
