[RCSE] Re: Pouring lead into tubes

Dennis - I've found that If I left the tube ends lightly rolled (just like the tube cutter leaves them) the lead stays in fine. I'd recommend against doing anything while the lead is still hot - molten lead is scary stuff. If the lead falls out just use a larger tube, pull the lead out, and

A mix of something sort of like model airplane dope (but not quite) is poured over a wide pan of water, and it spreads out like an oil slick. The mix floats on the water until it sets, at which point a frame (submerged in the water) is pulled up under it Hey this brings back fond memories of

RE: [RCSE] Pouring lead into tubes

Why not pour into tubes the same diam as your wing tubes. When the lead cools and shrinks, it will fit the wing tubes perfectly, with no jacketing. Just a thought... Tony Rogers Product Design Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Precision Interconnect 503/603-4750 poured last night and the

Hi all, Just a note to tell people who have been keeping track of our woes that all is not lost, at least not that we know of. If anyone is interested in following this little saga, please go to our club website and check into the Project Maluhia link on the Club News page. If anyone has

[RCSE] perception of distance, hlg height etc

Human ability to percieve distance is largely a learned skill, and as with most 'seeing' tasks, we rarely realize how subject to error it may be. While distance estimates may be good in a certain environment, with certain kinds of visual cues, it is no surprise that when trying to estimate the

[RCSE] Receiver antenna length? - safe to cut?

* Repost, we were having some problems with the list and it may have been lost in the shuffle** Hello, I have been wondering if it is safe to cut a receiver antenna length or is it somehow tuned to the frequency length. For example, in the old days, I would make my FM antenna 1/4

Re: [RCSE] perception of distance, hlg height etc - my vote

I think most people tend to underestimate how far away the model is when flying larger unlimited or cross country sailplanes The best example of this was at Visalia a couple of years ago when Daryl flew his giant scale model into the back side of the factory southeast of the field.

[RCSE] Seattle July HLG Contest Results and SURVEY for all HLG Pilots

Hi All, It was another great day at 60-Acres Park here in Redmond, WA. There was a good breeze out of the North keeping temperatures in the mid-70's, clear skies and some pretty nice thermals made for a fun contest. A good flight could get you a 3 or 4 minute time, but the off-field

Chuck, I believe it was Larry and not Daryl. No real damage was done. I don't even go near those buildings because they are deceptive as to distance ( at least to me ). Chuck Anderson wrote: The best example of this was at Visalia a couple of years ago when Daryl flew his giant scale model
