Re: [RCSE] Hoopes and Maple Leaf's website

[DAN KITCHING]

Just as a side note, the Icon page at www.mapleleafdesign.com still describes the airframe as including a "Hoopes" wing harness.
 
"Also included are a unique 44 ounce ballast system, a complete wiring harness by Hoopes Designs, flush-mounted wing servo covers "
 
It's pretty clear now that for whatever reasons this is not the case, and hasn't been for a while.

What more can be said, Hoopes connectors are made of metal and plastic and are soldered to wire with insulation on it.  The harnesses come in plastic bags that are real clear.  Included are some very detailed instructions, Tom is a neat packer of stuff.
 
I was going to order an Icon till I heard the rumor that Hoopes connectors didn't seem to work very well in them, and no way would I fly a sailplane without Hoopes connectors!
 
I use Hoopes connectors in all my Pikes, and well every other ship I have, short of foamies.
They don't seem to work very well for me, cuz I keep on losing contests and it couldn't be my flying skills.
 
I love you Tom Hoopes, now can I have your beer?

[Simon Van Leeuwen]

Actually, you made it a big deal, my words (remember?) were my harnesses 
are significantly different. I did not disparage Mr. Hoope's product.

Out of respect and courtesy to Mr. Hoopes (and his product) I have 
elected to remain silent on this list (good business ethics) as to my 
involvement with any OEM's, and shall continue to do so.

As I stated previously, the Hoopes harness is a great product, what more 
needs to be said? It's nice to know you and Tom are friends ;^)

Unrelated?/ You made a big deal that your connectors were a vast improvement
over the Hoopes connectors and that they were being used in the Icon and
Image. Seemed appropriate for this forum.

What you failed to include in your post above was the fact that I said that
I have been using Hoopes connectors for years with great success. Further, I
am fairly good friends with Tom and have nothing but the highest regard for
him, his products, and his business ethnics.

What else do I need to say to defend myself from your incorrect remark.

I also suggest the we take this privately if you insist on continuing this
subject. You clearly missed the point of my original post and also my follow
up posts.

That in no way should detract from the work that Tom does, nor should it.

[RCSE] Hoopes Harnesses and Icons

[Tom Hoopes]

Hi All,
Over the last few months, including Visalia, I've had several people ask
me what I have changed on the Hoopes Wiring Harnesses and why they are
now failing on the Icon.
With the most recent post (below) I thought that I should clear up any
confusion regarding my involvement with the Icon harnesses.
When Don Peters was preparing to build the first molded Image 2meter
sailplanes, several years ago, he contacted me and asked me to develop
and supply him Hoopes Wiring Harnesses for the Image, which I did. A year
or two later, he informed me that he was working on a new open class
plane, the Icon, and also wanted me to create and supply a harness for
that as well.
I've supplied all of the harnesses to Don Peters up until a year ago.
Abruptly, Don indicated that he was raising the price of the Icon and
wanted to install a harness that made connection when the wing was
mounted. Although I offer such a harness for many of the molded
three-piece, saddle-mounted winged sailplanes that I support, he
apparently wanted to look elsewhere.
I assumed that Don was either assembling the harnesses himself or
enlisting a hobbyist to do so, as indicated by Simon's email
below.
Hoopes Harnesses continues to supply harnesses that are still built with
commercial/industrial grade components, using industrial practices
(preparation, documentation, soldering, pneumatic and automated crimping
equipment) and thoroughly tested for shorts and breaks with industrial,
computerized cable testing equipment. I have access to this equipment
through a wireless development company that I own.
Hoopes Designs has shipped more than 3,000 harnesses over the last
decade, supporting 65+ different planes and configurations. We have
supplied harnesses ranging from Open to ARF, handlaunch to cross country,
slope to record setting DS, gas to turbine, IMAC to pattern and bunches
of truly weird stuff (i.e. scale, flying wings, canard, Northrop Primary,
DARPA funded UAVs, etc.). Hoopes Wing Harnesses have found their way into
planes competing on a world class level all the way to a lowly sloper
flying in a rarely visited corner of the world.
Hoopes Harness prices have remained the same for more than four years.
Hoopes Designs is committed to building and supplying high quality,
commercial grade harnesses. Why else would we continue to support the
NATS, LSF, SWC, Visalia, Soar Utah, Davenport, etc.? We've not changed
anything, compromised anything, we're not leaving, we're here to stay.

  
I know that Don Peters' website
(http://www.mapleleafdesign.com/)
still states (as of today) that both the Image and the Icon sailplanes
are delivered with Hoopes Harnesses, but they are not. So if you've lost
an Icon or Image to apparent harness failure or are experiencing
electrical harness problems with the newer harness, please contact Don
Peters or Simon van Leeuwen directly as I have no involvement.
Of course, if you want the former harness or any of its components or the
auto-docking version that I offer for the Icon, or the Image harness,
they are always available.
BTW, this is not a stab at the Icon, I've got three of them and they're
not for sale ;-)  I just want to make it clear that I have not
changed anything to compromise the quality of Hoopes Wiring Harnesses and
I am sorry for any confusion over my product and what MapleLeaf is
currently shipping. 


Sounded pretty cool until I saw
this:
>  Hoopes wing connectors...

Seems there's a new Sheriff in town when it comes to wing
wiring:

sailplane

I haven't seen these new harnesses, but if they are an improvement on
the
Hoopes harness (which I have been using very successfully for a long
time),
that would be
something.
