[RCSE] Re: Pike Superior
Hi Miron, just wanted to let you know that I am still flying a set of Grand Esteem wings on a Faser fuse with built up stab and I love it. The Grand Esteem esteem wings are fantastic. Thank you for your contributions to the sport.

[RCSE] RE: Pike Superior ??
Very nice pages and some detailed and good testreport. Again - whats written is more important than design... Did not know it was difficult to get metric clevices. I will tell Samba. Maybe they will include as a standard (they do include if one orders with) Hilsen (Regards) Jojo www.grini.no Date: Sat, 28 May 2005 07:53:28 -0700 From: Warren Mansonhing [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: soaring@airage.com Subject: RE: [RCSE] Pike Superior ??

I just get 2-56 threaded brass couplers and ream them slightly to fit the pushrods. Less hassle, a lot cheaper and no worries if I should ever need to replace a clevis down the road.

For the USA modellers, Tower Hobbies now has stock of 2mm clevises and couplers. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?I=LXWL54P=0 http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?I=LXBWK9P=0 Cheers, Les.

[RCSE] Re: Pike Superior xtail/Icon??
I would take this a step further in that MapleLeaf is putting out a very high quality product and they deserve to sell it so that they are not doing it for sub-minimum wage. I don't know Don's financials but If there is a legacy of the hobby industry it is the constant cycling of small manufacturers/companies (with great products) that come and go simply because they find themselves doing it for peanuts. There's a stigma in this hobby against the cottage industry guy to make money, like it's a four letter word. Some years back at the Toledo Show a modeler actually said, Make money? You're not supposed to do that! And he was dead serious! Well, that's great if you are doing it as a hobby, or are retired and already have a great pension (again doing it as a hobby), but not so otherwise. Even with many U.S. model manufacturers now replaced by U.S. model importers it is still the same story. And the magazines don't mind - for every new manufacturer/ importer that starts up, runs a year or two worth of ads and disapears another one will come along. So it still comes back to the old saying, If there is a model you want you better buy it NOW because the odds are very high it won't be available tomorrow. Yeah, this is a bit of a rant ... I just can't help it. Gregory Vasgerdsian RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
