Re: [RCSE] hi starts are a mistake

I suggest a heavy duty from the git-go. I have an older Waco heavy duty that launches two meters up.. It's even launched a 90 oz. Adante, not pretty or steep launch, but it did go up. Wow, I thought I was the only one with an Adante still in my hangar. It needs repairs, but thanks to DC

Re: [RCSE] Spoilers

Dave, I just bought a set of each size from my friendly Multiplex dealer (www.polecataero.com) and they look very well made. They are all aluminum with plastic connector arms, and are actuated by a servo which pulls on an arm inside the spoiler. The servo can be mounted at most any place

Re: [RCSE] hi starts are a mistake

I think hi starts are fine for an easy and cheap way to launch. But beware if using one (especially a gorilla hi start) and you need to abort a launch due to a problem w/plane or radio. I have lost a plane or two because of this and no longer use a hi start and never will again. -Original

[RCSE] Winch doc sez hi starts are NOT a mistake

Hi starts are NOT a mistake. They are great for short flying sessions. I like the short upstart type for landing practice or low level thermalling practice. They don't take up much room and you don't have to lug that big battery around. BUUUT there's nothing like a full power FLS winch launch,

Re: [RCSE] hi starts are a mistake

Walt, the Winch Doc and others put out some good winches but you really need to see Tim's McCann's winch kit. I've built two. The drum is a jewel, the rest is just wonderful machine work. No welding required. An average man can figure out the wiring and it is not hard to have a winch ready

Re: [RCSE] Flight simulators

As I spend more time beyond my first impression with the FS2K, I realized that I was wrong. It has suppressed its realism by default, I guess, in trying to impress general user (especially those have no idea what to expect of a real flight or realistic FS are). That could turn off some
