Re: [RCSE] Winch details

I second the flex-coupling for simplicity reason. Coupling is not the only place flex mechanism that may be design in a winch system. Choosing a fish line (mono-fil.. ?) to effect such function is another. If soft coupling or energy storage is a must by the shaft and not on winch line, you will b

Re: [RCSE] Hitec Feather RX

The Feather receivers are OK for slow fly electric, but for HLG and anything that ranges out, I would stick with the Hitec 555, they are bulletproof. The new JR 610 at 9 grams should be out next week, hopefully, and that should fill the bill for longer range, lightweight, HLG receivers for us J

[RCSE] CF rod in DAW 2m S1-26

I used a CF tube as a spine that doubled as sheaf for the elevator pushrod - bad idea, as the rod didn't compress like the rest in hard landings, so the last free inches of the pushrod got bent time and tine again! I would - if I built a new one - use 2-3 thin (1.2 mm) CF rods to stabilize the fu

[RCSE] RDS adapters for VOLZ!

I have a limited supply of Rotary Driver System couplers with a new tree of adapters that will not be generally available for some time. This tree has adapters to fit all VOLZ except the ZIP. Another new one fits FMA 80/90/95/100 micros and the ACE 8112. Tree still has adapters to fit standard Fut

Re: [RCSE] Hitec Feather RX

A friend of mine(will call him Bill) had some of the first Feather Rx's out. There was a problem with the length of the antenna. This caused very limited range. He sent the Rx's back and had them fixed and recieved them back in less than a week. He says now they have same range as other Hitec Rx's

[RCSE] El Camino F3B / Composite Specialties

Hi all, I'd just like to let everyone know about the new El Camino F3B (Eraser) from Composite Specialties. Many of you may be familiar with the El Camino/Eraser. The F3b version has a 122" span, with the MH32 foil, and flat tip panels (rather than the upturned tips on the F3J version). The qu

[RCSE] Crosswind launches, II

I've got crosswind launches down... blustery day here in Alabama, I practiced launches-in-less-than-optimium-conditions this AM. However, this raises another question: I'm presuming that _tailwind_ launches with a highstart are as _verboten_ as tailwind takeoffs in a power plane, no? --Bill R
