[RCSE] Hitec Eclipse???
Hi all, a friend of mine has 2 of these radios and has posed a question about the sets to me, I can't help solve it though. Basically the Tx's have 2 rotary pots that adjust the flap throws, together( both up or down) and separately ( one up and one down). Both are situated on the top of the Tx, one on each side of the aerial mounting plastic thingummy. Now forgive for thinking this is a kinda stupid option to put on a Tx unless you can adjust the throws or simply switch them off. I am not that familiar with the sets so if any you knowledgeable bunch can tell me how to sort out these functions I will be delighted to pass the info on. It would be nice to adjust the (flaps together) rotary to give a small percentage of their throw so that the pilot could set the Tx to have launch flap option on the rotary. The other one we can switch off completely. If this does not make sense to an Eclipse expert please get back to me for more in depth details from this end, thanks.

To all the guys who replied about my camera dilemma, thanks for the input. It appears that in the UK, Nikon D70,s are a bit like hens teeth, very rare. They all seem to got to the U.S. and Japanese markets. I finally decided not to go for the Canon 350d as I felt it was not comfy to hold, a bit too tiny. It felt really nice the first few times I held it but after handling a couple of other cameras with better hand grips I had gone off it. I chose the Nikon D50 plus a couple of lenses giving me a range from 18mm to 300mm. Now to learn how to use it. Again thanks guys, merry Xmas and a Happy Hew Year. Hope to take some of your pics at the Viking Race 2006. -- Ron Russell RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] ???a bit off topic???
Just doin a bit of tidy up and have rediscovered a couple of very rare old UK kits. VERON Mini Robot, complete untouched model kit, 36 span, trike u/c shoulder wing power model, mint condition. Open to sensible offers. Kiel Kraft Pitts Special, 22 span rubber powered kit, what more can I say, it is in immaculate condition, untouched, unbuilt, mint! This should be worth quite a bit of money to a collector, I have never seen this model in any shop apart from one and that was some25 - 30 years ago.

Re: [RCSE] OVSS...line break policy?
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], James V. Bacus [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes I have been reading this thread with interest, waiting to see which route you would follow in the US. Might I suggest that you consider looking at the rules that are supplied and actioned during BARCS competitions in the UK. We have been using winches for a while here as well and we have been flying man on man comps for longer so we do have a fair bit of knowledge on the subject. The rules we use in the UK, have proved to be very fair in use, and that is more important than any written words on the subject. There is always the possibility that a line break will occur that the pilot or winch driver has no control over, likewise there will always be line breaks that can be directly attributed to the actions of either pilot or winch driver, deliberate or accidental. Proving that would be impossible so it is best ignored completely. If a line break occurs then the pilot will loose out on some points, tough. An immediate relaunch will not see him too far behind the others and may even work to his benefit if the others have launched into sink. That is simply part of the game we play. We tend to allow any available winch to be used for a relaunch, not just the pilots own personal one. If the pilot deems to use their own after the line has been retrieved and repaired then that is up to the individual. The pilot also has the option to call for a relaunch immediately and land within one minute or attempt to fly out the slot if he/she feels that the air is good enough. Errors in judgement will and do happen, that too is part of the game. Enough of this speech, it is only my own personal opinion. Please, go to the BARCS web site and have a look at the rules they apply to their open competitions, it may just be your answer and is certainly worth a serious consideration. That is the way it is traditionally done in the OVSS, but where you are most likely to see line break action is in the last group with the strongest pilots, and that round is always filled so there will never be an empty slot to allow someone in. Chicago SOAR always restrings its winches with fresh #290 before a OVSS weekend. At 05:18 PM 5/16/2005, Jim Monaco wrote: I suggest that the order of the groups for seeded MOM send the lower seeds up first, then if a flight is delayed you get a tougher group rather than an easier group.

Re: [RCSE] Pike V-tail Antenna
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Bob Peck [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes Pike Owner's, What is your antenna solution for the v-tail? I have seen the Samba website but would like to know of your practical experience. This is my second Pike. My first is a light model with the antenna ran through the wing D connector out into the wing behind the spar and carbon D-tube leading edge. It ground checks OK and I can fly it at the edge of my sight with no problems.(72mHz) My new Pike (50mHz) has a carbon center section and I won't use the above setup. I built another with a carbon c-section Pike and doubled the antenna length to .5 wave and dangled it out the back of the fuse. Reception is good, but it looks like hell and it is bothersome during launch. Any suggestions? BTW radio equipment is Airtronics TX/RX. Hi there, I have a few Pikes and have tried all the options on the web site. I prefer the split V extension where aerial wire is fed up both tailplane halves and only an inch or so is left dangling in the breeze. With the cross tail I extend and run the aerial up the rudder trailing edge. With the V Extreme the wire is extended and only goes up one tailplane half, no reason except to try it. All methods work well, no glitches or unexpected flap/aileron movements that can be traced to the radio. I unfortunately have to admit that the unqualified wobbles are all pilot induced.

We need and want more than 8 to get a decent comp. Maybe if SOARHIGH read this they may offer a couple of prizes, what do you think Guy and Gary? Entry fees will be held to a minimal level. SCOT NATS 22ND JUNE For the event on the 8th June, 8 fliers called and let me know they would be there, THANK YOU guys, glad to know that you are still alive and raring to get some speed work in. SCOT NATS 22ND JUNE Will now ONLY be flown on the Sunday. It was planned to be 2 days but one will suffice at a push. Hopefully this will encourage you out of your homes to compete. How does that sound? Come on lads, we need the numbers to make it worthwhile for myself and the S.A.A. to keep organising them. If we are getting it wrong, let us know, we can change the formats for the events. What we can not change is either the scheduled dates, they have to be set at the start of the year, or the weather, it has been perfectly flyable the last 2 event dates but lack of entries meant that no one could actually compete. Lets make a change and get some good racing in at the next date. Yes that is the 22ND JUNE 2003. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Actually they are available on some moulded kits and seem to work (ish) Have a look at the Corrado on the Soarhigh Model Group web page.

Can anyone tell me who builds and supplies the CORRADO? Looks incredibly purposeful, F3jish and sexy. Please tell, -- Ron Russell RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [RCSE] Dick Barker, the Uplink, and a very nice morning
In message 000101bf3fa5$f7afa3a0$17810ccf@sarah-s-machine, Scobie Puchtler or Sarah Felstiner [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes Is there any plan, kit available for the Uplift? I would love to give it a try, and do some of my own comparisons. Call me please. A few days back, I wrote Dick Barker (the infamous self proclaimed old fart glider flyer!)an email asking if there might be a time that he'd be willing to show me his wingtip-discus launch HLG, the Uplink. He got back to me almost immediately with a proposed date and location, and just this Saturday, the morning found the two of us out at Seattle's beautiful Magnuson Park, swinging his composite creations into the air with Mount Ranier hovering in the distant background. When I arrived at the park, Dick was already at it. He took a break and showed me the various structural details of his design, many of which have been engineered specifically to handle the rather extreme side loads inherent to the discus style wingtip launch. Despite these special strength requirements, Dick has managed to pare his design down to a very competitive finished weight. And then there's the launch. As far as I can tell, a decent technique with this glider will very simply get you a higher launch by a SIGNIFICANT margin than you can expect with any other competitive HLG anywhere. And this launch is achievable with little body stress when compared to javelin/overhand technique. I watched Dick do several launches and get incredible air time in almost zero-lift conditions. We were flying from a parking lot to avoid the pudding-like ground that most Seattle parks have to offer this time of year, and Dick showed a well-seasoned thumb coming home a few inches over the asphalt,often in a bank, then pulling up into a perfectly stalled handcatch every time and never a scrape. I took out my lightweight Red Herring to warm up my arm and thumb, also figuring that if Dick saw me make a few halfway competent throws and catches, he might be more likely to offer me some stick time with the Uplink over this fuse-eating asphalt field. The offer did come, and I accepted nervously, having very little time with anthing like a fully horizontal discus type launch. My first few attempts were quite pitiful and far too vertical, with my Red Herring instincts winning over Dick's careful instructions and me nervously groping around to turn off the launch preset on an unfamiliar TX. But by the sixth or seventh try, things began to come together, and in minutes I was certainly launching higher than I've ever thrown any full sized HLG. The neat thing was it was SO easy on my somewhat tender right shoulder, plus I had the distinct feeling that I wasn't yet putting anything like my full energy into the throw and that with some more time, I could easily make significantly better finished altitudes. As for the actual air time, it was also a pleasure. The Uplink has an impressive L/D, most clearly demonstrated to me during a few runs home from low altitude with no lift. I seemed to be able to milk out distance well beyond my expectations. Handling was a little unusual as Dick said it would be due to the relatively shallow polyhedral form in the wings, but I could always get what I wanted from the glider. Speed range and energy retention were both very impressive. There is little question in my mind that gliders like the Uplink, set up for full force discus-stlye tip launch will have some distinct competitive advantages due to pure launch height improvement and that the incredibly long dead-air hang times could make for more satisfying competitions in areas of the country not blessed with constantly booming lift. Furthermore, the lack of stress on the body, or at least very different stresses when compared with overhand/javelin throwing, seem to allow for a far wider field of potential competitors in the sport. Thanks Dick for all your hard work with this design and this technique, and for sharing it with me Saturday morning. Even though I don't currently have any plans to compete, I wouldn't be at all surprised if a tip launch HLG shows up somewhere in my future. There are just too many advantages for me to ignore.
