[RCSE] Re: potentiometers

I was surprised to hear some one say that potentiometers only have a useful life of 350 hours. This seems awfully low to me. I'd suspect that the limiting factor is not time but rather motion cycles. The limit of which I wouldn't hazard a guess. Bill Swingle [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pleasanton, CA

[RCSE] Stalling and speed of sound

The two limiting speeds for any subsonic aircraft is the stalling speed, where flight is no longer sustainable and the aircraft's top Mach speed, a speed relative to the local speed of sound. As you climb upward these two creep slowly close and closer, to eventually meetm and making subsonic

Re: [RCSE] Does Altitude cause bad air?

Maybe the guys in Reno could answer this as they fly at pretty high altitudes. I think I remember one of the guys up there telling me its not as easy to themal up there as it is in say Sacramento. But I know for a fact that area is world renowned for both thermal and wave full size soaring.

Re: [RCSE] Does Altitude cause bad air?

Walter - Is the question does altitude cause bad air, or does attitude cause bad hair, I forget? I think I told you it was a little harder - air is thinner - plane has to fly faster to achieve equal lift (or something like that) so we make more mistakes??? We have killer hat sucking

Re: [RCSE] Does Altitude cause bad air?

Glenn R. Whitcomb asks: ...Does high altitude affect lift and the way gliders fly? In addition to the increase in true airspeed caused by the lower air density, as discussed by Oliver Wilson, and the associated increase in sink rate and turning radius, there is also a decrease in Reynolds

[RCSE] Davenport winds/ISR

Tried calling Davenport wind talker. Its pretty windy outside but wind talker must be down as it said a big zero. I then brought up current wind conditions at Santa Cruz, a little south of Davenport and usually not as windy. Right now its at 21mph and WNW, and its only 10:30 am!- bet its much

Re: [RCSE] Stalling and speed of sound

If I remember correctly, when the U-2 is at altitude, the difference between its maximum design speed (VNE) and stall is only a few knots due to the density altitude. Kinda keeps it interesting for the pilot. :) Jimmy -- Designer/System Integrator for the "Vector P" UAV

Re: [RCSE] Does Altitude cause bad air?

I was recently flying HLG in Sedona Arizona. As I recall the density altitude was easily above 10,000 feet. I noticed a few things. First, my launches were noticeable higher. I have a pretty good launch that is completely natural (i.e.. requires no thought of technique), and very consistent.

[RCSE] raptor

Does anyone know anything about the raptor from Hobby Lobby? I think this is an older plane. What is the makeup of this plane? Obeechi over foam? Thanks -- Glenn R. Whitcomb Elko, NV [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gbcnv.edu/~glennw RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send
