Re: [RCSE] The infamous dive test
Boy, did I see a dive test today, where it just continued to dive, as the pilot was screaming, "where's my plane", at the same instant I heard this high pitched flutter/scream behind me, and turned to see what it was, THUD at terminal velocity. He was 38 minutes into his 1 hour LSF thermal flight when this happened, he had been circling at about 1200-1500 feet AGL. Lost site in the sun for an instant!!!

[RCSE] (Formerly) Batteries -- Correction to past story
Jon and all others interested, I learned last night that a battery problem did exist during the recent Montague X-C Challenge event in Montague, CA. The battery, for whatever unknown reason of Rich Tiltman's SB/Spicer T did crap out during one of his flights on Sat. They did accomplish a quick battery change, and the plane was in a terminal speed dive, but when Rich pulled back on the stick to regain control of the plane, a wing tip panel blew up. Being the expert pilot he is, Rich was able to control it to a landing, not a terminal crash. He continued on in the contest with a back up plane. Just to keep things on RCSE up to date and correct as I know it. Thermals Jerry Miller SOSS-Medford, OR

Re: [RCSE] Big Winds
Dick, Your HLG, which probably weighs about what; 15-20 ozs? How does it fly with 2 1/2 lbs of ballast in/straped to it in 35MPH winds? ;+)) Really only kidding I flew my S1-26 HLG with lead taped all over it at Cape Blanco in 38 MPH south winds this past spring. Boy would it cook. Jerry Miller SOSS-Medford, OR

[RCSE] November Contest
Hi all. SOSS, Southern Oregon Soaring Society, has just completed their Nov. and maybe last contest of the year. Set up temp. today in Medford, OR was 31 degrees. We flew 4 rounds of International Duration, 5-7-5-10, first two rounds were not bad in that the scheduled flight times were reduced by 2 minutes each, from the announced flight times. The Sun came out, so we went with the announced times for the last two rounds. In the 10:00 minutes two actually made their times and with landing points. We started with 7 entries, one encountered a tree in the first round, during landing set up, and DNF. We will try a Dec. contest if the weather holds, we are keeping our fingers crossed. Planes entered, today, 2-Millimunms, 1-Bird of Prey, 1-KA-6 foamy, 1-Bird of Time, 1-club trainer plane, and 1-7pack electric with a timed launch period, and he, John Slatea was the winner of the contest. Launches was not a problem, he is good flyer, and scored on all landings. Was a good contest as bad as the day started out. Jerry Miller SOSS-Medford, OR

Re: [RCSE] Fusible link
Hi all, I like Brian's method, it's normally called learning and knowing how to use your equipment, it's limits and it's draw backs. Pedal to the metal is not the most desirable way to launch any plane on a good, strong winch. Of course some of the bigger, heavier planes will need all, some winches will put out.

Re: [RCSE] Kudos Hitech RCD
It's just business. The company must maintain the retail pricing, when they are bypassing the dealer/distribtuors. Other wise, instead of a nation/worldwide system of getting their products out to the masses, they would be doing it all alone from ONE spot. No dealer/distributor would work with them, to market the companies products. Jerry Miller SOSS-Medford, OR RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Daryl, Your sign off, leaves us with a desire. You earlier said you would enlighten us with some of what went on in S.A. during the F3B Worlds and how you retained your WC status, here on RCSE. I know you and some others are on the spot about this flap, that will pass, but don't shut us out from the story of your new speed record, and your WC accomplishments.
