Just a couple things to check Dave . You shouldn't have to run noseheavy , I
don't have an Xterminator but it's been my experience that recommended CG's
are usually at least a touch on the conservative side . Something else is
most likely wrong as you suspect . I would return to the recommended
To Whom It may concern
The deal is. That Friday before the contest there were winches set up at the
east end of the field... The turn arounds where near the landing zone..
Everything was ok, It wasn't the CASL guys.. This was the pilots
responsibility. Fo rthe most part it was working well.
My experience has been that most FF models (this includes R/C sailplanes)
are designed with too much decalage. I think the theory is: "better safe
than sorry" - you can survive too much - not so too little. Or, maybe: "if
a little is good, more is better." Flying stabs eliminates the problem.
Thanks to all the folks who replied to my post here and on the
rec.models.rc.soaring newsgroup, I've been able to add several top-notch links
and suggestions, and I now feel a lot more comfortable that I am providing
information that gives a beginner a really good chance of finding any sailplane
"Real men don't" read instructions or rules. (Unless they are looking
for a loophole.) Regis

Good point on the rules Dick,,
Thanks
It was not an organized deal. I understand
that's a rule, But before I put one of my gliders in the air I would clear the
area..
In the contest I saw many times where the winch
master held up launching because of a glider trying to thermal low and
Lasoar 650 electric high performance F5B type thermal duration glider for
sale. Obeche covered 92" wing, Kevlar fuse, flying stab. Has throttle,
elevator, rudder, flaps, ailerons. Aveox F7LMR brushless motor with
controller and Grauptner folding prop makes this plane go up very fast on
seven
There are several questions concerning launch right
of way. I like to see this..
I do have to disagree with the flying plane having
a better view of the launch area. When flying, it isn't always easy to look
around when close to the ground.. While the launch pilot has time and can focus
"Circling in the launch area is dumb, dangerous, and
selfish. On rare occasions, it may be necessary to cross the launch area
when out of lift, altitude, and ideas but the pilot does so at his own
risk." -Chuck Anderson
and at risk to everyone else trying to launch, too! It is never

Ok guys.. It seems like my posts are not going
through..
This whole thing
Someone once told me that it is not the span of a plane so much as the
viewable width dimension of the wing that makes it able to be seen
easily.
Like the way a plane can become near invisible to the eye as it flys
directly toward or away from you. Still the same span but very hard to
see.
John,
In the US, Ace Hardware often has some. I
have never found any at Hope Depot or Lowe's "home improvement" stores.
Try a "real" hardware store.
For another idea, buy some appropriate sized chain,
and get the store to cut the links for you into individual ovals. Chain is
already

It's always fun to watch the clerk's face when you ask for this :-)

RMSA,
Does anyone have information on how I can get a hold of Mike at ARG
Models? The e-mail I have no longer works. I'm looking to
purchase a 60" EPP winghe used to make called the Whiplash. Anybody
have an unbuilt kit you'd want to get rid of?
Thanks!
All the best,
Steve PasierbCompetition
