[RCSE] Ideas
It's amazing how many people spend so much energy attacking anyone with a new idea. Finding every possible way to crush it. If the same energy were spent in helping the person turn the idea into something workable, even if not the "norm", there might at least be a few more people trying to help the sport instead of giving up out of frustration and disappointment. If you can't find a way to "help" don't put walls up in the way of those that are willing to try. Heck, in my business, when someone comes to me with an idea, I can often see that it won't work very well. My job is to sit down and work with them to figure out "HOW" to make it work, not just tell them to forget it. If it works out, great. If it doesn't, at least they tried. I don't know who Tom (Liberator on RC groups is), but he has my support to try anything that will help the sport of soaring. Keep the LSF current program and try something new -- can't hurt. T I don't know who came up with the retriever cart at CRRC, but if that was shot down instead of a group working to engineer it and get it working nearly flawlessly, they'd still be shagging chutes by hand or be spending a lot on fancy retrievers. They figured out a way to work together. A little note on status quo: We bought a farm in VA and there was a toilet in the house but it was not connected. The farmer said that it came when he had the house built, but he only used the outhouse. It was good enough for his father and like his father always said "it makes no sense to s--t inside the house". Well, I connected up the toilet since my father wouldn't have minded.

Re: [RCSE] Ideas needed to fix bad paint spots
No. Sorry. Getting the paint off was the only success I ever had. From that point on I usually do a lousy job. Robert Samuels.St. Louis From: "Harley Michaelis" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Robert Samuels" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [RCSE] Ideas needed to fix bad paint spots Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2005 15:24:52 -0800 Hi Robert. . .thanks . . . okay, let's say the paint is off in the bad spots. . .what about the other questions? Any success stories to pass on explaining how to fill, prime and repaint to match up with the adjacent paint? Reappearing pinholes? I've found that rubbing alcohol easily removes Krylon paint from glass surfaces. I use toilet tissue wetted with the alcohol. What do those of you do, who bag wings in which the waxed carriers have been painted, when the paint does not transfer in a spot or flakes off? How do you fill the spot, fill any exposed weave level it to adjacent paint, prime, repaint, avoid overspray and finish it off to look uniformly smooth and shiny?How do you handle pinholes that, after being filled and wet sanded down, reappear on application of new paint? How would you remove adjacent remnants of old paint (Krylon) to start over new, without harming the underlying foam core? Acetone will remove paint, but ruin foam. What solvent do you use or by what technique do you remove all paint down to the epoxy? How would you then fill exposed weave? Specifically what filler products to you use, then what primer, what paint? Please explain your entire technique if you have one that works well. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

RE: [RCSE] Ideas needed for 6 servo wing programming; MPX
Well, I've only tried a 4 servo wing; but at first glance, it seems that assigning the inner ailerons and flaps the Quadro mix would work. Most likely there are other choices as well.

[RCSE] Ideas needed for 6 servo wing programming; MPX
Title says it all. I'm using a 3030 and It's not like programming yo' momma's Ace MP8K. I'm probably going to use user-defined mixes with a switch between two of 'em. The idea being to go from all wing surfaces moving, to just the outer ailerons whilst inner ail and flaps hold a slight camber. Any and all suggestions are welcomed. -- Stephen Syrotiak Building Service Southern Connecticut RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
