Re: [RCSE] Re: Launching Sanity
Don, I noticed at the beginning of unlimited that almost all of the line was off the drum, therefore we were launching with approx a 2 dia. drum - was much more easy to control and modulate the launch. On a related note, the previous years' masters advertised short lines - ( read larger drum dia. ) I wonder if this, coupled with the high winds lead to some of the carnage . Ron Mong - Original Message - From: dharban [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: soaring@airage.com Sent: Saturday, December 22, 2007 7:19 PM Subject: [RCSE] Re: Launching Sanity One other thought. The winch setup at the Nats was excellent with regard to reliability and uniformity. In addition, I did not find the winches so powerful that they blew my hair back (at least what's left of it).Perhaps someone who was responsible for the set up of these winches would like to comment on the setup and what went into setting them up.

Re: [RCSE] Launch Limiting
At the Nats last year Jim Thomas takes the mic and settles the crowd for a big announcement, most pause to listen - he say's ' Gordy is on the field ' not more than 2 seconds later someone utters -- ' has he popped off yet '. I guess these are the times I remember about the Nats. Sorry Gordy - couldn't resist - we love ya !!

Re: [RCSE] Carbon Pushrod Help!
John, And yet another option - I use Hysol 9460 a/b epoxy glue, also sold by Loctite. Clean w/ alcohol, sand carbon rod and also the inside of the brass fitting with a needle file - clean and dry again before final assembly. I did a 'hang test' on the assembly and it held 45 pounds overnight, decided to load it to 80 pounds, my jig started to come apart - figured I had a good joint at that point.

Re: [RCSE] Nyx F3J rearward CG location
Mehrdad, I have flown 2 Nyx's (F3J, LT) both at 4.5 behind the LE. For me this plane really came alive at this CG. That said, you need to be careful with the plane tucking, a good centering servo on the elev. helped me out. Keep the Nyx moving between thermals, a little full span camber while thermaling. One of the best turning planes I've ever flown. I think a 4.45 or 4.4 cg location would be safer to use at great distances. Best Ron Mong Columbus, OH - Original Message - From: Mehrdad Amir [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2004 10:46 AM Subject: [RCSE] Nyx F3J rearward CG location In light lift thermal soaring conditions...what are your opinions wrt having a rearward CG for the Nyx? (by rearward CG, I mean any location behind 4.2 inches of the wing root's LE) Personally, I started out with the CG on my Nyx around 4.1 inches. It was good, but I liked the way it flew better when I moved the CG to the 4.2 inch location (as recommended on Tom's F3x.com site). Of course, I'm now wondering how far back I could take the CG before it adversely affects flight performance. Does anyone fly their Nyx with the CG set around 4.5 inches behind the wing root's LE?
