Hi Imroze,
What kind of turn out are you expecting for the race. I am really looking
forward to it!!!
My first taste of racing, I personally saw couple of races at Torrey Pines
and also at Miguelito Canyon (CSR - California Slope Races), and the Man-on
-Man races totally blew my mind

No, not the Logic style tips but the type used on gliders especially F3* and F5B, the
trailing edge sweeps forward for a little and then back into a point, like a sharks
fin. All the modern hi-tech gliders use them but I
I know there's been much discussion this year about this receiver, but my local shop's
just got them in (replacing the R500).
I seem to remember that originally they were very poor, but JR's changed them since
then (longer aerial, ...). These seem to have longer aerial.
Is there someone who ca
I remember 18 years ago people saying you couldn't fly a F3B ship in AMA TD.
Impossible! Won't thermal! Never make a landing! etc. etc. etc.
Funny, today, nearly all of the planes being used in AMA TD would have cleaned
up in F3B back then.
While the F3B ship may not be the best possible choice

I bought one from Skip Miller last summer. I think it is a wonderful
sailplane. It launches great with no bad habits, unlike my Eraser that can
be a handful in a crosswind. It thermals beautify and is very easy to fly.
Penetrates about the same as an Emerald. The only thing I don't like about

They are supposed to improve its light lift performance. Perhaps! Neither
I nor Phil Barns (The maker of the Logic kits - not the logic designer) use
them, but for opposite reasons. He does not need the help. My skill is
Oh - they do change! Maybe one step backward for every two toward the

Can you bounce me back your e-mail address

I'd like to keep a winch battery in my car and I need
a no-brainer charger for it. Is there such a product
and where can I get one?
(The battery would be bolted in place and "secondarily
contained".)

That is true, too. My approach is to get the adjustments as close as possible
mechanically and then "fine tune" electronically at the Tx. For example, you wouldn't
want to overdrive a servo by 150% or reduce the ATV to 20% to get the proper travel at
the control surface when you could move th
In trying to choose an open class sized RES ship with some sort of
'comtemporary' airfoil, I found the field very limited and eventually came
down to the Majestic from Laser Arts and the Marauder from MM Glider Tech.
I did a search of RCSE and the soaring news group and found numerous postive

Servo current is difficult to quantify since it is "pulsed" via the servo frame rate
and is variable with stick movement.
On my HLG with a 555 and two HS-55's, I am getting an average battery working life of
some 140 minutes under these conditions: this is the "life" of a full charge over 3-4
Check with an RV/motor home place. There is a special "diode" type of circuit allows
a secondary battery to be charged by the car electrics, but not discharged into the
car circuit.

Tom,
Thanks for donating the Passaj. I have an idea, how about giving it away
to the person that traveled the furthest to compete.:-)
See ya there

FWIW, the computer radio is not limited to usefulness only with
four-channels and up. Even two-channel setups can benefit from things like
exponential and launch presets.
I started with a Focus 3 on my Zagi. Within five months, I was flying HLG
contests with an RD6000. Outgrew that three month
I get the following times off the 555/four HS50 setup (all with a reserve
margin remaining):
Four cell 50 MAh pack - 20 minutes
Four cell 100 MAh NiMH pack (same size/weight as the 50 MAh NiCADs) - 30
minutes
No testing with three cell packs, but I would assume similar times. I have
some 150 MA
I agree with Rick here.

You do not have to have programming to have a computer radio. The PICO 7ch
TX starts life as a 4ch basic radio and you can add channels and or features
as you progress.

Stuart,
My two cents..Get a GOOD radio, like a Stylus, JR 8103, or Futaba Super
8. If you get into the hobby, one of those will keep you happy for a lot of
years AND you'll love the SETUP features of a good computer radio, never
mind the FLYING features. If you don't, you can sell it for about
Yes I think that its up to the CD if there "Legal"
I am wondering if this has a Edge in Landings

In the heat of my excitment, I failed to mention the "fuslage" is a pod and

What POSSIBLE advantage could they be?
Ok in my contests - knock yourself out.
Stick your spoilers anywhere you want - just not on the trailing edge.

There's nothing to say that dive brakes are required to have two
'doors' Charlie. Many aircraft had them on the lower surface of
the wing only, located well aft and sometimes perforated. Others
have them on either side of the aft fuselage.
I don't see why a dual surface spoiler should be a disqua
Hi all,
Does anyone know of a similar material to Micafilm which can be used as a

The F3B contest in Denver last May was one of the most fantastic events
imaginable.
3 days of perfect weather; the Friday clinic with Skip Miller - midday
BBQ's and Mexicali/Margarita evenings.
Were doing it again - only this time it's F3J !
MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND 2001 - DENVER, COLORADO IS
contrary to popular belief, there is big air every once in a while at Torrey
Pines. Today was one of those days. 20mph average, gusts to 37mph!
Also, closed a chapter on the Dominator. It did not survive it's first day
of DS'ing.
Also, the molded 60" Nemesis did, and the videos are awesome.
