[RCSE] RCSE Past Poems
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sun, 22 Dec 1996 15:08:05 -0500 Subject: [RCSE] A Christmas Carol 'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the 'net, not a hard drive was whirring, it was quiet, you bet! When out of the modem there arose such a clatter, I sprang to my keyboard to see what was the matter. I booted the system and, and logged on to my sevice, I downloaded E-mail of volumes quite perverse. All postings were WACO, a name that's stupendous for stating the facts in ways that offend us. He cursed and he ranted, he call us bad names, and he made lots of fun of our silly airplanes. On Lucas, on Sal, on Richard, and Phil, on Gordon, on Daryl, on Steve and on Bill, he piled his abuse til they all had their fill. He's been hiding in Utah and hanging with Mormons, designing new stuff with a big box of Crayons. He's merry and laughing about things that aren't funny, and he's planning a new way to take all our money. He showed me the drawings for things quite outrageous and he cackled and howled, he might be contageous! I shuddered and grimaced and whimpered in fear. Could this be our fate for the coming New Year? In panic I logged off to end this attack, and his last words still haunt me. He said, "I'll be back!" - Merry Christmas to the Christians, Happy Hanukkah to the Jews, Muslims and Kwanza celebrators, enjoy the Government holidays.

[RCSE] [rcse] My first sailplane
My first sailplane was a Goldberg Sophisticated Lady, which eventually came to be called "The Crunchbird." Maybe you know the joke. The Crunchbird is still probably flyable, just needing a battery and receiver, but I use its two meter wing every once in a while on my Miss 2.1, when I want to thermal the boxy electric monoplane. I still remember Hugh Roger's comment about the Sophisticated Lady: "They ought to make T-tails illegal!" Tom H. Nagel Judicium ProcuratorRecuperatio

Most blacklists like the CSMA blacklist automatically de-list entries that haven't been reported again within 48 hours. This varies from blacklist-to-blacklist, but 48 hours seems to be the going rate. Another great blacklist search tool is the CompleteWhois Multi-RBL (relay block list) Lookup: http://www.completewhois.com/rbl_lookup.htm You can search a huge list of blacklists all at once... very nice.

[RCSE] [RCSE[ Estate Planning
Guys: I am a practicing lawyer of the general practice persuasion, and when not making trouble on RCSE I do a significant amount of estate planning for "regular folks." Some basic advice: have a will don't get sucked in by a "trust mill"--most people don't need a trust, and most people that have one manage to screw them up before dying. you should have a living will and health care power of attorney lots of stuff passes by contract or survivorship, meaning your will has little or nothing to say about where this stuff goes. Make sure you know how your "non-probate" stuff is set up, since it is probably most of what you are worth. Examples: life insurance, joint bank accounts, retirement, payable-on death provisions in bank accounts, joint ownership if brokerage accounts, joint and survivorship deeds for real estate. Wills and stuff are controlled by STATE law, so check with your local counsel. There are some oddball state provisions. In Ohio, for example, a surviving spouse can take two cars and a boat and an outboard motor without going through probate court. At least one of the older members of my RC soaring club has a provision in his will that calls on the club to auction off his RC stuff amongst ourselves and put the money into the club treasury. We have already done this for one other member since I have been flying, and I can tell you we treasure those items. Finally, there was a good article about wills, estates and "our stuff" in the AMA magazine in the last couple of years. Check it out. Oh yeah: try not to die. Tom H. NagelColumbus, OH

[RCSE] [RCSE]Flying in Scenic Central Ohio on New Year's Day
Skye Malcolm and I met at the Franklin County Fairgrounds for an impromptu NYD fly-in. Skye was just back from Arizona and was wearing shorts and tennis shoes, so we didn't last too long. Sky had found an upgraded ZingWing out west, one of those foamy flying wings that folds in half and launches with a big rubber band. This one was higher aspect ratio and bigger span and will undoubtedly disappear into the first thermal of the new year. Today we just had clouds and drizzle. We flew the Miss 2.1 a little, and that was very nice. We even did a runway takeoff and landing. I tried to fly the Silverlit Friggin Industries X-Plane. That little monster is going back for a refund tomorrow, so help me Dave Thornburg. Gordy, you do NOT want one of these for your kid. It is not safe nor reliable. Mine has intermittent power glitches that I can't fix because none of the guts are user accessible. The propellor propels itself off the shaft and goes flying away when you rev up the motor, and the range check today failed at about ten feet. I could go on and on but instead I am just going back to the customer service desk.
[RCSE] RCSE RX Help: need opinions/expertise
Thanks Bill, Sorry I didn't mention that. I've actually flew the plane and did some extensive range checks before. Not a proximity effect in this case and range was fine. I've since removed the rx in preparation to send it in to FMA. I also was able to swap crystals (same channel though) with the same result. Merrell How close are you to the plane/Rx with the Tx? I've seen exactly the same thing if the Tx and the Rx are too close, i.e. a few feet, but it stops if the Tx moves away. Anything over 10 feet and it should be dead solid. Just a thought.

[RCSE] [RCSE]Political Glitching-An Apology
I would like to apologize for setting off an email firestorm with my speculation that the Secret Service and/or Air Force One were jamming our RC radio transmissions. As a test, I went out back and tried flying the Tiger Moth while John Kerry was in the area yesterday. No glitches. In fact, the Tiger Moth took off autonomously, flew a short aerobatic sequence including some axial rolls and an outside loop, and did a three point landing at my feet. It was however covered with goose down, which I do not understand. Later, Tom H. NagelColumbus, OH

It shouldn't be assumed that because the radio has some pre-defined functionality, you have to take what the mfr has set up for you. Mike Lachowski, Jim Bacus & I have nearly the same functionality for landing setup, but three different approaches to programming that functionality. After a pretty short learning curve, you can easily build a new setup from scratch without copying in 15-20 minutes. I'm sure that there are lots of worthy radios, but the 10x certainly can do anything/everything that I've been able to think of.

My first plane was a Goldberg Sophisticated Lady (later to become known as The Crunchbird.) My wife had gotten me a kit to build an RC power plane for Christmas. I took it back to the hobby shop and swapped it for the only glider they had on the shelves, the Sophisticated Lady. I learned to build, repair, and slope with the SL. Lots and Lots of repair. I added shear webs when it became clear that the wing was too weak for even a decent high start. I added winglets as an experiment, and never took them off. The Crunchbird is still in the hangar and needs only a battery and radio to go up again. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] [RCSE]Vulture Vario
A cousin of mine who is an ornithologist at Cornell told me there is a pack mentality with many of the raptors. They see other birds circling and they go check it out. That being said, watching a hawk thermal on their own you know they are doing more than just looking around for signs of lift. He explains it by hypothesizing that they are just extremely sensitive to movement across their wings. They learn to soar, so over time they know what "14th feather on the left going up" means.

[RCSE] RCSE & RCSD
OK, so maybe the pictures aren't National Geographic quality and the editorial content leaves something to be desired, but RCSD still fills a niche. It was here long before "Quiet Flyer" and "Quiet and Electric Flight" came into existence and was borne out of a desire to provide the R/C soaring community with information. When it was first published, R/C soaring information had been relegated to columns in magazines filled with engine and propeller advertisements. Over the years, it has done just that, often on a shoestring. I, personally found this issue's account of the young lady BUILDING and flying her modified 2x6 a refreshing change from the recurring accounts of stuffing expensive servos into the latest expensive moldie in most of the other publications. The young lady is a true "woodcrafter". Did you check out her next project? RCSE sprang into existence for many of the same reasons - an exclusive place for R/C soarers to almost instantaneously exchange information. It, too, has served admirably over its lifespan. There's room in my world for both. Also missing "Model Builder", home of "The Old Buzzard", Jim Deck RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Fellow soaring enthusiasts, I have a Karel Vagenknecht Discus 2B, 4.3M span all molded plane that I just started putting together. The Elevator is operated by a servo made to be placed in the tail.

This little mag is unique in the world. I've read and reread the issues many times. They have been living in a corner of my shop and need a new home. If you care to review the history of R/C Soaring in the U.S., this is the definitive source. I was going to write a book, but don't seem to have the time. Maybe you do.

But I won't be one of them, and I won't help their efforts by turning the forum over to their efforts. So. Today I traveled from Denver to Grand Junction today and I have to tell you guys there is nothing but soaring opportunities in Colorado.

Re: [RCSE] [RCSE]
Tom, My experience with the Kestrel 2M and the Alcyone (which uses the same type of clips, is they are not worth a S--T!!!The planes fly great, but any landing other than perfect will cause the fuselage formers holding the wing bolts to fail and try to destroy the fuselage. If you are building a new Kestrel or built-up Alcyone, forget the clips, install wing dowels a la the Oly 2, Spirit or any other basic plane, and enjoy a lighter aircraft requirng FAR less repairs.

However, the two failures of the present setup: it allows attachments, which can

I think you have it backwards. I have been flying real ones since 1950 and have 3500 hours flying in everything from a J3 Cub to an F86 and a C130 and I have never seen a situation where landing long gets a better grade from my instructor or check pilot. :-) How about 100 points for landing in the first 2 meters, 50 points for landing in the second 2 meters, and 25 points for the last 2 meters. Increases the importance of good depth perception too. Landing anywhere along the length of the runway is a good landing only for helicopters and VTOL aircraft. :-) Chuck Anderson RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] (RCSE) Landings, etc., etc.......
I'm planning on holding a TD contest sometime next year with a precision landing task that will be a "real" test of skill: a 1.5m wide "runway" that is 7m long - if the nose of the model stops anywhere in the first 2m it's 25pts., in the second it's 50pts, in the 3rd it's 75pts. and in the last meter 100pts., with a big ZERO for going past the end of the runway or for landing "short". Now for the real "ba--buster"! The ENTIRE fuselage of the model (includes the bottom of the trailing edge of the rudder) must rest within the 1.5m lateral boundaries of the runway! So that means no coming in from the side, or landing outside and spinning or sliding your nose into the box. Won't work here. You'll have to be able to accurately fly your plane precisely down a centerline to a controlled landing. If there is a crosswind, well then you better know how to coordinate rudder and ailerons properly (gee, we have to do that with power planes all the time). Too much of a challenge? Oh, well. There's a bunch of guys in SoCal that have been doing this for years with slope gliders of all kinds, without the benefit of flaps or "crow", etc. and going a lot faster than most TD ships will ever have to on landing. Now, that's just the landing task! The soaring tasks will be just as creative! First round is a 7 min "warm up" duration with the precision landing, with 1pt per second deducted for up to 10 sec off the mark, and 2pt per sec for 11 up to 20 sec off, and finally, 3pt per sec for anything over 20 sec off the mark. The second round will consist of a 12 min task and precision landing, with the same scoring. The third will be a 10 min task with precision landing, but will have the added challenge of having a prescribed path to be flown after launch before being able to chase thermals (and yes, that means if you fly through a thermal before you complete that path, you just have to keep going until you reach the "release point" at the end of that flight path). The flight path chosen will be very easy to fly and to enforce, and relatively short. So there you have it folks! Anyone interested in competing in such an event, email me offline. I'd like to hold this contest someplace in SoCal this summer, but I'll consider going to any field in the country and CDing it personally, with support from any club willing to host it! The contest could be flown as a two day "IronMan" event with additional tasks that I have thought of to test the all around skills of the pilots involved. Any takers?

[RCSE] [RCSE}Canadian Nationals Soaring Report
Canadian Nats 2000 - Sailplane Andersons Turf Farm, Mission, B.C. July 28-30 It was a somewhat soggy Friday morning when Jim Porter and I met with Lynn King at McDonalds in Mission. The forecast was good for the weekend, so that the main Nats events were not in jeopardy. The situation was not so certain, however, for the Friday fun fly, and scale aerotowing that we had planned. We proceeded to the farm, leaving a trail of signs to lead other glider guiders to the field. A canopy was set up, and much hangar flying was done waiting for the rain to let up. At lunch time the group proceeded to a local cafe, where fish and chips and other delicacies were enjoyed while we watched the rain get heavier and heavier. Finally, at about 1 PM, Lynn, Steve Dentz, and the rest of the scale contingent from south of the border decided that flying was unlikely, and returned home. The rest of us were there for the weekend, and returned to the field and the canopy. Finally about 3 PM, the rain stopped, and we held a belated, but enjoyable fun fly. Helmut Kihszl, Erik Eiche, Fred China and Phil Hui flew their scale gliders, expertly towed by Bruce Zelinsky and his clipped-wing Taylorcraft. Meanwhile, we did winch and hand-launch flying, and Guy Russo ran a small but fun Hand Launch event. Three pilots flew alternating rounds of Hand Launch Scramble and Guy's "Bermuda Triangle" event. The triangle event was new to John Cavelti and Arend Borst, and both enjoyed it. I look forward to seeing this on a larger scale at this year's NWSS tournament. Saturday morning brought warm sunny skies, a light East wind, and 26 pilots flying 31 planes, in 2 Meter, R/E/S, and Open classes. Thermals were relatively abundant, and after a warm-up round of 5 min ID, we flew 10ID's for the rest of the day. Landings became slightly more challenging as the day progressed, as the wind shifted to a very light West breeze, and the C.D. (that's me) stubbornly refused to turn the winches around. At the end of the day, Bill Hanson, Joe Fitz-James, Guy Russo, Robin Smith and Kirby Parker were leading in 2M, Competitor, Expert, Novice and R/E/S classes respectively. On Saturday we also had the pleasure of talking with several members of the general MAAC aeromodelling community who had come to participate in or observe the Nats. Among these were MAAC Model Aviation Canada editor Keith Morison, B.C. Zone Director Gerard McHale, and MAAC President Colin Campbell. In lieu of the originally planned BBQ, most of the group headed to the Greek restaurant in Mission city, for a pleasant meal and evening of conversation. Colin Campbell presented an award to Arend Borst to recognize his success at the recent world F3J championships in Corfu, Greece. Sunday was also warm and sunny, but the winds were stronger and the thermals weaker. After the wind had again shifted from E to W and picked up a bit, the C.D. (finally) agreed to turn the winches around. Getting times was more difficult, and we ran a combination of 5 min and 7 min tasks. Bill, Joe, Guy, Robin, and Kirby all maintained their form and positions. · I would like to thank the many volunteers, from near and far, that helped make this event possible: · Kirby and Mary Ann Parker, who did their usual impeccable job scoring the contest. · Erwin Ledat, who ran winches for most of the weekend. · Arend Borst, who trucked in and out most of the heavy equipment, and ran winches. · Lynn King, who organized flyers and tow-planes for the scale event (I'm sorry you had to leave before the rain stopped). · Bruce Zelinsky for his expert aero-towing. · Guy Russo, who ran the HL events. · Waid Reynolds and Ole Skotvold, who provided winches and did much of the set-up and tear-down work. · And everyone who came and made this event a success.

[RCSE] RCSE: endplate effect for Rudder
Along the path investigating yaw control induce drag and efficiency at V-tail, I came to realize that single-sided-rudder-fin has benefit from end plate effect that doubles the fundamental AR in the Cdi formula. The doubling is caused by end plate effect by the horizontal stabilizer. For induce drag coefficient, that is 50% Cdi and thus 50% absolute induce drag reduction per unit yaw force. However, the improvement is gated by implementation quality. For optimal effect, consider a one piece (notch-less) elevator with the Rudder TE just ahead of the elevator-hinge. That should result optimal "mirror" effect in favor to doubling AR without doubling the profile drag. The above thinking also view cross shape "+" tail an inferior choice for optimal Cdi. Summary: Proper arrangement of T and inv-T tails can further optimize yaw efficiency. Square the rudder rood and position rudder-TE at elevator hinge. "+" tail arrangement is not optimal in yaw and pitch efficiency. YK Chan Seattle area. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] [RCSE]:Is it leagle?
Yes, your right. If I take the time and think about it a little more, I see what is happening. Lightly loaded large wing areas can generate enough lift at low airspeed to climb rather quickly. With a headwind, there would be no reason to even reel in the line and with enough "kiting" lift from winds, the line can be un-spooled from the reel until its weight and/or drag overcome the planes abilities. Contemporary designs with higher loadings, stronger wings and less area and LESS HIGH SPEED DRAG can take advantage of high line tension. The stretch of the line stores energy that can be instantaneously transferred to the glider, which accellerates (with its low drag) and then pulls up into a vertical climb trading the speed for altitude. No line stretch -- no zoom gain. This is an educated guess, so all you readers feel welcome to critique the above.
