RE: [RCSE] Pushrod source...
CST beyond a doubt. - Original message From: Les Grammer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [RCSE] Pushrod source... Date: 02-03-03 11:28 Been a while since I've 'assembled' a new plane which didn't already have the pushrods installed. In fact, I was surprised to find my new 2-m Organic doesn't have them, but what the heck. So, living in small town USA where most people think quot;radio controlquot; means receiving instructions by HAM, I'm looking for a good source for some long sheathed cf pushrods. What is your favorite source? -Les RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Because starting the bidding at a lower price often results in a higher final price than if you just start out at your minimum acceptable price. I know it sounds silly but it works.

Re:[RCSE] Cash Prizes
My club does this in our monthly contests. Our entry fee is $ 5.00 and we award $1.00/entry for first, $ 0.50/entry for second and $ 0.25/entry for third. We round all amounts up to the next dollar and award at least $5.00 if the entry level is too small to make the normal prize up to $ 5.00. It works well, we don't have to have trophys engraved every month and even with small contests, the club makes some money. The downside, is the people coming up in the hobby don't get a chance to collect the dust collectors (trophys) they might otherwise cherish. ~ORIGINAL_MESSAGE from [EMAIL PROTECTED]~ Just wondering how people feel about the idea of cash prizes?
Re: [RCSE] Sources for Hinge tape, reflecting tape

Clear Mylar tape (3M?) was recommended to me for hinge tape. Can I get it locally, or is it a special order from a R/C supply house? Does the stuff have a specific trade name? What do you guys use? I'd really like to be able to pick some up locally, as I'll be ready to hinge tomorrow night./FONT/DIV DIV /DIV DIVFONT face=Arial size=2Secondarily, I want to put some reflective tape on the leading edge to increase visibility. Recommendations? straight shiny stuff, or the stuff with ridges that looks like hologram material; out of a toy store, or is there some special tape I should use. /FONT/DIV DIV /DIV DIVFONT face=Arial size=2Thanks,/FONT/DIV DIV /DIV DIVFONT face=Arial size=2Matt/FONT/DIV/BODY/HTML In my experience, the brightest flash comes from using strips of chrome trim monokote. The hologram material doesn't flash as brightly and some of it is too thick to readily conform to the leading edge of your wing. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Re: Book Recommendations
Try : Spitfires Thunderbolts and Warm Beer. Its about an American Eagle pilot (W.W.II not Commuter land) Good reading. I cant remember the man who wrote it but its available at Barnes and Noble. The author is Philip D. Caine. Fascinating book. I had never known that the RAF had a training facility here in Bakersfield, CA in 1941. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] **WANTED** 3 Function Sailplane
I am looking for a "Good" 3 Function Glider with Spoilers like a Gemeni or something thats good for a 3 Function Contest.. must be over 100" Wingspan if Possible Gnome 3 M would work or any good Contest Worthy Sailplane that has Spoilers and not to Heavy thanks.. There is a limited production kit being made by a member of my club that would fill your request quite nicely. The plane is called the "War Eagle" (the guys from TOSS called it the War Beagle). Built-up wings (laser cut ribs), fiberglass fuse, v-tail. Controls are rudder, elevator (v-tail mixing required) and spoiler (operated by a micro servo in each wing). Airfoil is a 3021 (thickened at the root). The plane is rock steady on launch and takes a pedal to the metal launch quite easily. It is the best RES ship I've ever flown. We had three of them at the CVRC Bent Wing contest this weekend and managed to get Wargles (my nickname for the bird) in 3rd, 12th and 33rd out of 44 entries. I finished 12th, after being as high as first after Rd 1 (well, tied for first) and third after Rd 8, but an absolutely terrible last flight dropped me to 12th), not bad for a borrowed plane I had only flown for two prior weekends. I've seen the plans and they are quite good. I don't know what the instructions are like or even if he has any instructions written up. If you know anyone who flew in the CVRC contest, ask them if they saw the War Eagle, I know a lot of people were looking at the planes and asking questions. For information on kit availabilty and price, contact Amos Kleinsasser @ (661) 872-8837. Oh yes, the wing rod is a staight 1/2" rod, Amos supplies an aluminum rod but I think a Squires steel rod is better or if you're worried about weight, you can buy a carbon rod from Matt Gewain at CST. This is a super flying RES ship and with practice could be fairly competitive against the full house ships. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] XC and building season.
I was in one of those home stores the other day and was looking at the Formica counter top veneers. They sure have a nice selection of colors and patterns. Anyone ever try using this stuff to sheet a wing? It looks to be about 1/64 thick and has a sort of brown backing. Stick it on the foam and you are done. Finish, color and pattern is done in one step. Any comments? I would think it would be VERY heavy and probably brittle but it would be an interesting experiment.
