[RCSE] Los Banos F3f Practice this Sunday ?

2004-12-27 Thread jmrjj

Hello to all, this Sunday is the 4th sunday and time for f3f practice at los banos. I will not be able to make it this sunday due to the hollyday.
Wind? the forcast is for 14mph from the SSW, the is the wrong way for slope saoring, but the ds hill could be working.
Someone will have to make the call as to weather the practice is on or not.
Good Luck and Happy Hollyday

[RCSE] Profi 4000 what is the value

2004-10-28 Thread jmrjj
Thank you to all that responded, I received the feed back that I was hoping for plus 
some unexpected replies.  About half the people that responded offered to help me 
figure out the radio, this was above and beyond the call as far as I am concerned.  
Thanks for the offers of help, I am very fortunate to belong so a very caring 
community of glider enthusiasts.

Thanks again

Hell, I am going fishing for a Atracs upgrade.  I have two Air SP7 Modules and was 
wondering if there were any ATRACS upgrades out there.  I don't care if it is a 4 
memory or 8.

thanks

fair price.  It is in good condition no cracks, a 
few scratches.  It has software version 2.0, new battery pack 3300 mh Ni-metal 
hydride, multiplex metal case, all the swithces and sliders work as they are supposed 
to do.

You may be asking why am I selling this profi 4000,  it is because my peanut brain

[RCSE] Davenport MOM July 6

2002-06-18 Thread jmrjj

We have enough pilots to hold the race, the turn out is around a dozen
pilots, so there will be plenty of flying for all.  The best spectator
glider event, Man On Man Unlimited pylon racing.  The race will be held at
Davenport California at the Big Creek lumber company site.
http://sloperacing.com/isr2002.htm#directions  Pilots meeting will be at
9:00 am, the race will start when the conditions allow.  The last heat will
start before 5:00 P.M., followed by the fly offs if there are any ties.  We
will fly as many rounds as possible, with no through outs.


I will e-mail the pilots and helpers individually over the next few days.
If you have questions e-mail me Jim Jacobson

Cliff, If the DS clown act is in SoCal, why is the meca in your neck of
the woods.  Apparently the rings of clowns are bigger than you would like
people to believe.

They probably aren't light wind flyers.  We have real wind up here.
Oh, by the way, most of the guys up here don't do stupid circles.  That
usually takes place down your way with foamies.  Kind of a clown act you
might say.

[RCSE] Gel coats - how are they applied

2000-07-17 Thread jmrjj

Hello, I am interested in learning how gel coats are applied to the molds.
I believe they are thickened epoxy applied to the mold.  But how are they
applied to be consistent and without the fibers showing through.

thanks in advance.

[RCSE] Hitec great customer service.

2000-06-02 Thread jmrjj

I recently purchased a used slope plane that was equipped with Hitec HS-81
mg servos.  One of the aileron servos would not center, it was off by 1/16
of an inch.  I replaced the servo with a hs-81mg that I had in my spare
parts box.  I sent off the servo to be repaired, a few days latter a note
from hitec came in the mail confirming that they received my servo.  This
was a welcomed note because I always wonder if the parcel service losses my
packages.  Today I received a package from hitec, I opened it looking for my
repaired part and the bill to fix it, only I didn't find my repaired part I
found a brand new one.  The repair order that came with the package stated
that the servo had a bad amp,  the total cost was $0.

This is fantastic, a company that charges a fair price for their products,
and is willing to do the work needed to keep their customers.  I would
strongly recommend Hitec to others.

[RCSE] Aireron Cutouts, How do you make them perfect

2000-03-11 Thread jmrjj

Help, I had a hard time cutting out my ailerons on a glass wing today.  I
used an e-xacto knife guided by a strait edge on the bottom skin, got poor
results, then I tried a razor saw on the top skin, and got poor results.  Ok
I butchered them.  How do the Experts cut ailerons on glass skins over foam
and make them perfect, i.e. no wiggles and no mismatches, I need to know.

[RCSE] Old Cheetah need new home

2000-01-23 Thread jmrjj

I have an old Cheetah that needs a new home. It is well flown and abused,
the fus has a small rip in it but still flies. The wing is not the original
poster board but is balsa covered and strong, much stronger than the rubber
bands that hold it on. Best of all it is FREE, you pay shipping. I prefer
that it goes to a home that can use it as a trainer/ aileron trainner. I
don't want it to go to a house that will resale it or stick it into a corner
and forget it.

For those of you not familiar with the cheetah it is a slope combat plane
build in the early 90's for people to smash and bash their planes with out
risking balsa or glass planes. It is heavier than the modern EPP planes and
needs more wind. The wing and fins are made from white foam covered with
poster board paper. The wings are held onto the fus with rubber bands, while
the fins are taped onto the fus. All in all they were fun.
