[RCSE] Clear servo covers
Who sells the clear servo covers with a medium size blister for open class ships? I bought a few three or four years ago but can't remember who sold them to me. I like being able to look at the servo without taking the cover off. Thanks, S Gibson Houston, TX RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] RC Hall of Fame - Antique radio collection
If you want to take a great trip back in time for RC radios, go to www.rchalloffame.org Ed Crotty, out of Ohio, has put together a collection of over a 1300 radios. ( that is right, one thousand three hundred radios !) The site has pictures of almost every manufacturers radios made in the USA since the 1950's. I have spent at least a couple of hours looking over this vast collection. He also has documentary style comments on several radios and important people in the RC radio industry. If you started flying RC in the late 60's or early 70's, the site is a real trip down memory lane ! Steve Gibson

[RCSE] JR 8103 programming guide
A few months ago, somebody was preparing a new programming guide for the JR 8103 transmitter. As I remember, the initial guide had a nice drawing of the 8103 transmitter with the locations and functions of all the switches. I can't remember who was preparing the guide. Does anybody know who the author is or if the guide finished ? Maybe a URL where it can be downloaded? I already have Sherman Knights guide. I simply would like another source.

[RCSE] Bottom hinged, top actuated flaps, Why?
Why do the designers go with bottom hinged, but top actuated flaps? Why complicate things on setup geometry and cutting holes in wings. Isn't a bottom hinged, bottom actuated flap just as effective and easier to install? (Spell check completed ! ) RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] Little Big Winch
I would like some feedback from flyers who are currently usinga relatively newLittle Big Winch. I would like to know your likes and dislikes concerning this specific winch. I have a small car ( Audi TT ) andonly have room fora small winch. I plan on launching planes ranging from the Artemis/ NYX to a ARF Bird of Time. Thanks, Steve Gibson
[RCSE] Replacement BOT ARF received today-Still wrong
I received my replacement Bird-of-Time ARF from Tower today. I was curiousto see ifDynaflight corrected the spar shear web construction. No surprise, the grain of the shear web is still running horizontal to the spar instead of running perpendicular to thespar. Instead of sending it back, I think I will strip the monokote, correct the shear web problem, strengthen the spar box, put spoilers in the BOT and cover in a different color of monokote. Anybody have any other suggestions? Steve Gibson
[RCSE] Tower replaced my BOT ARF
Tower received my defective BOT ARF on 9/15 ( Bad Spar). I got home today and there is was a new BOT ARF complete kit at my doorstep. I don't know if this wing is constructed differently from the original. I may peel back the covering to see. Has anybody checked a replacement of this kit yet? If it is the same as the original. I will beef it up and add spoilers. S Gibson
[RCSE] I need a new Hi-Start
If I go to the field by myself, I need to buy a Hi-start. I want a quality hi-start that will launch an Atemis or NYX but will also launch a wood wing Bird of Time. I assume I just don't stretch the hi-start as far for a BOT. I need recomendations for a really quality hi-start that has all of the components. I don't want to shop for each component of the hi-start from different suppliers. Thanks in advance, Steve Gibson
[RCSE] Bird Of Time ARF ( Dynaflight)
Just got off of the phone with Tower Hobbies Customer Service(1-217-398-0007) about the problems with the Dynaflight BOT ARF design defect in the wing center section. Since I bought the plane from Tower, they verified my purchase via my Tower customer number. They are sending me a postage pre-paid sticker where I can send the remains of the plane and they will either issue you a credit or I believe you can get back in line for the re-designed BOT (Should be out in 60 days or so). I don't know if you can just get a refund. Steve Gibson

[RCSE] I found the aluminum X-mitter box !
Thanks to everybody who responded to my email about buying the aluminum transmitter box. Went to two Lowes. Both said they didn't have it and had never seen it. A youngemployee then walked up and said, "we have about twenty of them in boxes, near, not in the tool area." The cases were in cardboard boxes so it was easy to overlook them. Most of the other toolboxes were not in cardboard boxes. They were out on full display. Thanks, Steve
[RCSE] Programming the JR 8103 X-mitter
I am getting back into soaring and already own an 8103. I read the JR manual numerous times but the instructions on programming the 8103 were really terrible. I've been told somebody published a book about programming the 8103. Where can I buy one? I know there is a book on programming a Futaba. I'm do not want the Futaba programming book.

[RCSE] Super V's
The Super V line by Mark Levoe must still be a competitive plane even though it was designed several years ago. Everytime I see one offered for sale of the exchange, it seems to go very fast. I sold a 100 inch and a two meter back in March and had several offers to buy both of them. My question is - Why aren't these planes still being built for new sales even if Levoe doesn't have the time. I would suspect that NSP or Slegers could get the molds and sell a ton of Super v's Steve Gibson Houston, TX RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
