Re: [RCSE] Look ma, no mixer!

Haha! Yeah., actually I have. A kid came up to the slope and asked me to test fly his Zagi (his first plane). I moved the stick up and down and noticed that only one elevon moved. Moving the stick left and right did nothing. The radio was not a computer radio or a Hitec 3 channel, so I

Re: [RCSE] AARGH! Help!

I wouldn't trade the old attitude in, just realign the current one. Simply figure that you'll finish the plane when you finish it. If it ain't done in time for your trip, then so be it. It'll be ready next time. So take your favorite plane and enjoy the new site. --Bill On Thu, 15 Jun

Re: [RCSE] Frequency control [was Park flyer]

It seems that if the guy with the park flyer had one of these, it would have averted the problem. As seems typical, the victim was actually that, a victim. It's too bad we can't get 'others' to fly by the normal rules. gv From: gabe baltaian Kyosho of Japan sells a small channel

Hey guys, A friend forwarded this message to me, I guess he thought I wouldn't see it on my own from RCSE. I'm not sure why he sent it to me, but after reading it a few times, I thought I'd throw in my two cents worth. In a message dated 6/15/00 5:31:38 PM EST, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

Re: [RCSE] FAI Sporting Code

If you were active in FAI you would not find the statement ridiculous. There is a long history of last minute rule changes, some in the interest of "safety" that were not in response to any actual injury or near injury. Some of the "safety" changes were simply to place one group at a

Just spent a nice time reading Charles River RC's 'Getting Started' pages. See http://www.charlesriverrc.org/getstart_yourfirstmodel.htm All three texts (gas, electric and glider) are well written, but I do miss a few items in the part about electrics and gliders, and not least the total

Re: [RCSE] Look ma, no mixer!

In an extreme pinch you can always use the poor man's mixer. Plug in one servo to the elevator channel and one in the aileron channel. If you then hold the transmitter at a 45 degree angle--voila!! You've got elevons. Dan RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe"

I for one (among many) am very appreciative of John's efforts and Joe's instruction. Without this video I would have been doomed to continue making the same mistakes and I would have kept "praying" for thermals instead of actively seeking them out. Being the new pioneer of HLG in our club and the

This may be a stupid idea but why don't they sell reduced range transmitters to go along with the reduced range receivers with a transmitting distance of 300 to 500 feet if you buy park flyer. Or the RC manufactures can require a snip The new Hitec Focus III FM radio is meant for park
