[RCSE] CD's collecting info.
With all due respect. Tony did what he could. And how tough is it to have the entrants jot down the name of their ship when they sign in. ?? If they won't for some reason, then all others won't know what they flew. Most folks including Chuck want to brag on their ship. Especially when you have scratch built your own good flying design as Chuck has. And many of us want to hear about them. If you want stealth, that is all right with me too. CD'ing is a thankless job at times. . I started doing it in 1980, I have not been CD'ing the last few years, but this is sure no big deal as far as added work load is concerned. If I CD any more events y'all will have all the model info the entrants will give.. If your one of those who does not care for that info just scan right on over it. My 2 cents. Over and out on this one. ;o) Brian Smith RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] 2.4
As is normal on RCSE if you say anything it will be taken out of context by someone. YUP.. I'm so happy with my DX7s and the X9303 that I'll probably start giggling soon. ;o) For me it was the best thing since the original red/white-green/white-yellow/white.. Remember that? I'll start worrying about 2.4 when I start hearing pilots going down screaming 2.4- 2.4 -2.4 instead of Ch 26 Ch 26 ch26.. All the rest of the WHAT IF's Don't bother me at all.. I have been on 2.4 for nearly a year and I feel like I already have my moneys worth of, I can't launch the wrong model and freedom of a shoot down as did nearly happen twice in the last couple months on 72 with my Giant Scale gas models. -BUT- no where, no how, did I ever criticize or condemn anyone for staying on 72. If your happy, I'm happy that your happy. HOWZAT? Grin -Smile.. I still love y'all!! Even Gordy. Brian Smith

[RCSE] winch/Line talk
I notice most, (not all) folks who are looking for a better way to limit winch power on our present winch/line problems are folks who put on events. I was the winch master at a pretty decent size event last summer and some of the nicest folks said some pretty unkind things to me while I stood out it the 90 degree weather for 3 days trying to make it a fun time for all who attended. I personally think it IS time to limit the winch power to run safely on 200 pound line. The soaring gang are a very wise bunch and I'm confident it will happen soon and be followed all across the country as a standard. As Daryl mentioned even the manufacturers will benefit from the new technology.. Brian Smith

[RCSE] Re:line breaks
With all due respect I disagree Jeff. At our local field when we launch to the north, it takes all the line off the drum.. We get much softer, less powerful launches.. As opposed to when we launch to the south we still have approximately half the winch line left on the drum at the time of launch and the launches are much more aggressive/powerful and all the broken lines and broken models come at the south side.. Just My observations here in Tullahoma..

[RCSE] Winch line/power/shunts
So for my new winch I'm assembling I need a 12v motor with Optima batteries? Who knows about shunts in the 12V LS Ford starter motor? I built a winch once upon a time that had a 12V motor. Worked great without killer/line breaking power. Ran very cool, and gave adequate launch power. Some one told me the shunts were cut? HUH? Help.. Brian Smith - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Soaring@airage.com Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 21, 2007 9:35 AM Subject: [RCSE] Big winches equals expensive airframes? My intention was to say that, in order to remain competitive, you will likely find it necessary to go to stronger, more expensive planes. This makes it harder for sport flyers who do not have big budgets to enter into a competitive position. Harder? Sport flyers are competitive the minute they enter a contest. IF they put what ever ship up into 10mins of air and put the nose on the spot, their personal score will the best possible. A 'sport flyer' entering a contest with a Perfect, Insanity, Supra, SuperduperSupra, or DPCougar doesn't put him in a 'competitive' position. He'll still only pilot that model to the best of his skill, experience, practice and talent...which isn't going to equal those pilots. We have all ended up with better scores than guys with 'better' sailplanes. So lets drop the argument that having weaker winches will some how make our contests a kinder gentler more inviting place for newbies and sensitive types. 2007 had less broken lines than 2006 due to the new line (maybe more pop offs ), batteries are something we replace each year or so anyway, so where's the beef? (I think clubs using Optima's will agree that they seem to have a little less punch so that would take some edge off launch stress).

Re: [RCSE] Trick motors and great technique ='s no line breaks?
YEP... If I'm the winch master.. (grin) Brian - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Soaring@airage.com Anyone interested in attending a contest where the winches have been de -tuned, only to find no wind or mostly down wind launches, ending in 200 or 300' average launches? Doesn't scare me but it could make for some pretty awful total time in the air for the time/cash investment of a lot of modelers.
