Re: [RCSE] DLG models for a newcomer
Hi Dave, I recently purchased a Hyper DLG from Northeast Sailplanes. $209. It is mostly ARF, with beautiful workmanship. Note that the pictures on NESail.com are of the older Hyper.

[RCSE] Thanks RCSE!
I had a pleasant surprise in finding, through RCSE, that the local soaring club in my home town that I thought had disbanded was still active and I am in the process of joining that club. This was made even better when another local soaring enthusiast was guided to me and then on to the club by someone who had read my messages online. What a great community! __ Yahoo!

Re: [RCSE] New experiences and questions
Does it sound like I am doing anything wrong or could do them better? Our club is mostly nitro, with a growing electric presence, so there was not much sailplane guidance available (but a lot of willing help with the line) It sounds like you are doing fine, just continue to have fun! I don't know where you are in Ohio, but there are some nice soaring clubs in the state there. You should try to hook up with some of those guys, you wont believe what you can learn when you fly with other soaring enthusiasts. Thanks, Jim. I live in Wadsworth and work in Beachwood. There used to be a soaring club in Wadsworth, and I even went to one of their meetings, but that was back when I did not have much spare cash for hobbies. The hobby budget has opened up a bit since then, but I cannot find anything on the Wadsworth club.

[RCSE] New experiences and questions
The end of the soaring season is close here in Ohio, and the sun was out this morning. I had previously test launched my newly acquired 150 Aquila XL off of a histart made for a 2 meter (wimpy), but I thought today would be a great chance to try the bigger hi-start. Loaded up the car and drove to the club field. Range check OK. Walk WAY down the runway to stake down the end of the histart. I have only done a dozen histart launches in my life, and only 2 in front of anyone other than my dad and brother, so I am a bit nervous. I put about 60% of the stretch to try it out, point the nose at the horizon and give it a heave. WOW! I mostly let it do it's own thing, with very minor rudder corrections and just a bit of down elevator, it climbed in a nice arc. Don't know if that was right, but it felt good. Since I had not given it a full stretch, it ran out of pull before it had more that about 200 feet of altitude (guess) I did a lot of lazy circles (sun hid behind the clouds, and no thermal activity to be found with my meager skills) Landing was great, and the next launch was with full extension of the histart. Very impressive launch. I think that it was nearly over the stake before the line pulled off the hook. I played around, going upwind hunting, but there was no sign of lift, so I was back down in short order. 4 times in my RC career I have specked out my birds (Zagi wings and Dads 2 meter electric) so I can't wait to try it with this majestic sailplane! (plus it is bigger, so specking it will mean even more altitude!) Sorry for the novel, but I am stoked. I know that this is an ancient design, but I was in heaven. Now for the questions. Our fish scale said I had 25 pounds of pull at full histart extension. Is this too much? Can I try for more? Without a zoom launch at the top, a 510 foot histart, and a mild headwind, am I really about 500 feet in the air? (I am trying to come up with real world estimates of altitude) Does it sound like I am doing anything wrong or could do them better? Our club is mostly nitro, with a growing electric presence, so there was not much sailplane guidance available (but a lot of willing help with the line) Thanks in advance, Vince __ Yahoo!

[RCSE] Help with identifying sailplane
Sorry if this turns out to be a duplicate. I posted using the web page yesterday and the message did not show up. I am trying to post through email this time. I recently purchased several large sailplanes from a friend of a friend. The lot originated from a pilot who had passed away. I want to gather information on the sailplanes before I start playing with them, but I do not recognize one of them. The Bird of Time is easy to recognize, and the book that came with the Mystery Ship makes ID easy. But the third sailplane is unknown to me. It has a 12'7 wingspan, RES, fiberglass fuse. Pictures available here: http://www.vinceherman.net/tempsailplane/IMG_3582.JPG http://www.vinceherman.net/tempsailplane/IMG_3588.JPG I can take more pictures or answer any questions on the model to help.

Re: [RCSE] Help with identifying sailplane
Thanks to all who responded. After getting the Aquila name, I was able to direct my research online. The Grande has a WS of a bit over 120. The XL has 150, so it looks like I have the XL. I did get to do some test flights this weekend. I launched it with the histart for my 2 meter ships. I did not get much altitude, about 50 or 60 feet, but it was enough to make some beautiful circuits around the field. I have thicker tubing designed for heavier ships, but I need to get some line to attach to it. Again, thanks for the help. I'll start a new thread to ask questions about the Mystery Ship and the BoT.
