Did your questions get answered? One end of the tubing is tied to one end of the string. The other end of the tubing is staked into the ground. The other end of the string has a metal ring on it that hooks onto the model's tow hook. You walk back with the model (and line), pulling

[RCSE] Landing strategy

2000-07-27 Thread JCyr1404
About this landing thing You should take lessons from the Phoenix group, (CASL) landings not a problem at the SWC. Four winches and plenty of landing tapes and judges to score. SWC was a "CLASSIC." From what memory I have of Mid-South, room should not have been an issue. John RCSE-List

Re: [RCSE] Using a tow plane to launch sailplanes

2000-07-27 Thread Rick Brown and Jill Wiest
When towing a glider the pilot of the glider MUST NOT rise off the ground too quickly. The glider must follow the tow planes flight path. The limited towing I have seen was done at a brisk pace in some wind, maybe why the steep climb, and mostly straight out. Rising very quickly. I don't think

I have another Sharon that I might be willing to sell. It's my #1 contest ship, but a certain distributor may sponsor me with 2 new planes for Visalia, in which case I'll be willing to sell it. The price would be $1250, shipped. Interested? It's only been flown mabe 15 flights or so.

I had six of one brand that failed below 30'F. I expected to fly down to 0'F and found this very upsetting. My radios of the past did not do this. Worse still you would not be aware of this because coming from the house or car they would retain some heat and then slowly die as their

[RCSE] A killer HL task

2000-07-27 Thread Derek Boyer
So, for any of you HL CDs out there, here's a potentially brutal task you can think about adding to your repetoire: Three threes in ten, unlimited throws, each flight must be at least one minute. I hate it, but if you're having problems separating the wheat from the chaff, this may be the one.

Summary: airfoil families and planform selections DO matter, even on hand launch birds. A little empirical data for you. I recently had to bag a new set of tails for the Kluge and a second set for the new Splooge. The Splooge requires the tail halves to mount individually and directly to the

No problem at all. The ring is attached to the top center of a round parachute. The strings coming from the end of the parachute are tied together and to the end of the string not tied to the rubber. The tension in the line will hold the parachute pretty much closed. When the plane comes off the
