Re: [RCSE] Epoxied servo techniques
I made a plastic plug that matched the Airtronics servos I used to use. Greased the plug and set it into a thick mess of epoxy and microbaloons. Wait for the epoxy to cure, yank the plug, pop in the servo using wood shavings to insure immobility. Worked great. If you do this, don't forget to allow room for the servo arm and a wire chase.

[RCSE] Ideas needed for 6 servo wing programming; MPX
Title says it all. I'm using a 3030 and It's not like programming yo' momma's Ace MP8K. I'm probably going to use user-defined mixes with a switch between two of 'em.

Re: [RCSE] River of lift.
Hi Gordon, Thanks for your believable theory. I've flown my Escape right off the beach in S. CT wondering all the time what the hell kept it up, at near spec height. The plane was probably right over the water's edge and flying like it was in wave. i.e. just hovering at windspeed. I couldn't believe it was a wave at the time. Surface WS were only 10-12 kt. This happened many times and I landed only because I got bored and needed an aerobatic fix. As I recall, we met at the soaring symposium last Mar. or April. How's that ugly airplane (mantis) of yours doing? :) cheers. -- Stephen Syrotiak Building Service Southern Connecticut RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Spiral Stability and Polyhedral
If one were to adjust the polyhedral in a wing, so that each break angle was equal (less dihedral than normal for the tip panels), how badly do you think that would affect the spiral stability of the model?
