[RCSE] Spectrum F3B

I recently purchased a plane called a Spectrum F3B, I believe it was built by Ron Vann in California in 1995. Does anyone know if these planes are still being built and/or how to get in touch with Mr. Vann? Thanks JJC

[RCSE] Right of way

Good Morning Well My posts took two days to go through. I have no idea why. I have been recieving posts, But not mine.. The subject of winch right of way is resolved thanks to all who posted. Thanks for all the info! In conclusion it was the fault of both parties. The AMA rule does not apply

[RCSE] foam trainer

In light of recent queries to the exchange, I am re-submitting my commentsfrom several years ago regarding the DAW 126 2M: I see a lot of enthusiasm for the DAW 126 hand launch as a first plane. Wanting something bigger for training my kids and others at the club, I went with the 2M TG-3.

RE: [RCSE] JR 610 receivers

Minority or not - much criticism has been posted about the JR 610. Then I got an email from a list member that said he had an early 610 that worked perfectly. Now I surmise that the design WAS proven before marketed. Some of the post on this list would have suggested otherwise. Something must

[RCSE] Hand Launch Glider Contest Page??

Hello, Anyone know where to find a Web site that lists ALL the 'known' HLG contests that will be held in the US this season? Would be real neat to see a page that listed ALL the contest Dates with 'links' to each site. I think this would also help raise attendance as people could plan ahead

Re: [RCSE] Stratos with digital camera+video xmtr

There is a little subtlety that may have been overlooked by those enjoying the videos shot from Tom's plane and suggesting other maneuvers. When he is flying, he is wearing VR glasses and pilots from the video image he sees in the glasses ... not from viewing the actual plane as seen from the

[RCSE] Truly Daunting landing Task

Did anyone notice the feat accomplished by landing the space probe on an asteroid? Though described as a "dork", I find even accomplishing it with a 17 minute lag time truly impressive. They even kept it right side up! Kinda like trying today's precision TD landings with old rubber band

[RCSE] (RCSE) Help on lift equations

Hello, I am doing a Science Fair project that compares airspeed and lift relationships. Does anyone know where I could find some equations that have to do with the relationship of lift and airspeed? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ryan Baldi RCSE-List facilities provided by Model

[RCSE] BOOM BOOM ROCKS

Ha! The sonic booms from the Space Shuttle scared the poo out of our receptionist, it rattled the front windows good. Her mom called her also (She's about 40 miles away) scared. Funny, I was perusing the net about 5 minutes before it happen reading about the shuttle scheduled to land at

[RCSE] Saw a Psy-Lite Fly in Texas!

Actually I saw two of them! This past weekend, the soaring God stopped the rain that had covered most of northern Texas for the week (at least) prior to allow their 'season opener' to enjoy warm breezes and sunny skies. ... And I killed! Well killed the HLG fly-off cuz of a pin snafu, (no big

Re: [RCSE] BOOM BOOM ROCKS

Out by LAX it was really loud. Now that the shuttle is going to the space station, the orbit is really highly inclined. That seems to bring it right across this area when it lands at Edwards. In fact, I think it crosses the coast line over Santa Monica. "David J. Schat" wrote: Ha! The

[RCSE] Re: HLG Box-of-sticks

Yet another vote for the Chrysalis. With modern radio equipment, I'd say there's no need to go overboard trying to save weight, because the wing is ENORMOUS. A stock C. with submicro radio equipment will come in around 10 oz, which is around 3.5 oz/sqft. Extra effort to keep the tail light

Also, if you did any mods to the fuze or tail, like building it thinner or using alternative materials, lets us know. Thanks, Dave - Original Message - From: "Bill Johns" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "Soaring" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 21, 2001 9:38 PM Subject: [RCSE]

Re: [RCSE] Truly Daunting landing Task

I think they did an excellent job considering that they do not have to use CA, wing panels, Zagi tape and lead to keep it together. It still works. Chris -Original Message- From: Brett Jaffee [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: James C Deck [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: RCSE [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date:
