I agree to a point but I think a simulator has some value. It is much much easier to work out control postions on a computer rather than learning while flying my actual planes. How about learning a rolling circle using a 1-26? Even at altitude it would take a lot of time learning this maneuv

The spoilers shown on the Oly II plans are quite adequate. Since we now have small servos and computer radios I would activate the spoilers with servos. One servo in the fuselage and string, tubing etc. works well if you want to go that way--a little more trouble rigging is all. Mike Clancy RCS

For the sake of those not reading the other RCSE posts. I can get altimeter watches like the one I use in my plane for $98 (used to cost $145, but I can get a better price now). They weigh 1 oz without band and record rate, max altitude, etc. You can even tape them on the wing CG of a H/L and

My favorite method to taper ailerons from standard board stock is with a band saw. Run the piece of standard stock through the band saw and two ailerons are created instantly. Each aileron is then run through the saw a second time to taper the leading edges. Done. Three passes through the saw yiel
