Re: [RCSE] Re: Next Soaring project

I'm thinking about my next plane, have an HLG, and considering larger. Chumming for suggestions. Two meter or larger? Pay the price for composite, or built up (can't say that's my favorite activity, or that I have tons of time.) Can I have general and specific suggestions? Thanks Rodger RCSE-Li

Well stated, Paul. I think, before we bag on him, we all need to walk, at LEAST, a mile or two in Sal's shoes (or Robin Lehman's, Karlton Spindle's, Ed Slegers', Ray Hays', Charlie Richardson's, Ed Whyte's, Taylor Collins', Steve Works', Bob Sliff's, et al, ad finitum)(my appologies to everyone I

RE: [RCSE] complain to Sal

I USED TO BUY from NSP years ago, but I couldn't take the double talk anymore and sarcastic attitude. I don't mutually agree that Sal's site is "a mainstay of this hobby". I have found many other links from this NG alone that has giving us hobbyists a chance to see and try other products and get

Re: [RCSE] [DON'T] complain to Sal

Sals stuff has kept me flying in the skies with all the coolest gear. I'm sure things go wrong every now and then, and people fly gliders in circumstances they aren't necessarily built for, etc... etc... But Sal's website is a mainstay of this hobby, and I'm singularly impressed with his whole

[RCSE] Stork Arrived, Baby Not Included

I got a Stork for Christmas. I've heard a few tips like "be respectful at launch" and "eats a lot of air" and "smooth" "Don't speed dive it like an F3B". I'm wondering if anyone can clarify these statements, share any stories, flying tips or give me explicit information about flying it effecti

[RCSE] SWClassic Landing Tape/points

Was just looking at my SWC acceptance form to see exactly what the tasks are going to be. It stated a 25' tape at 1 point for every inch. Does that mean a "bullseye" is worth 300 points as 12x25=300, then subtract 1 point for every inch off "bullseye"? Its been a long time since I have flown in

[RCSE] Bias layup schedule question....

You have to have the answer to another question too. How many layers do I need for handling. Another I have discovered is how much time out of the heat(curing is done at elevated temperature) before I can handle the product. Then you need to consider the bushes and the weeds on the front edge a
