Re: [RCSE] RC Phone Home - Was 170mph

My understanding is that once the aircraft was over the ocean, it was completely autonomous, with control completely in the hands of an onboard computer...no contact whatsover with outside world. Not sure how this could be considered radio controled when for 99% of the flight, there is neither ra

[RCSE] RC Phone Home - Was 170mph

Hi I would have to disagree. Although it has an autopilot, the data is transfered to and from the aircraft via satellite phone. Is this not technically RC? By your definition, you could argue that a gyro controlling the tail rotor of a RC helicopter is not technically RC. Takes a new slant on "

Re: [RCSE] 170 MPH?

It wasn't r/c except for the launch and the landing parts though. The actual crossing was totally autonomous. BTW, the same company that did the Atlantic crossing has a new aircraft which will be attempting to cross the Pacific. At 09:31 PM 3/6/01 -0700, Garland Hanson wrote: >Wouldn't the st

[RCSE] 170 MPH Plus

It seems more and as we progress thru the RC options at some stage the need to go faster develops. For me after a number years in radio controlled soaring, mainly large scale gliders, a group of us have been introduced to Pylon racing. Well the debates about model design is on - thin/thick, sy

[RCSE] Why oh Why won't anyone buy my Vision?

I've got a Vision8SP with 2 modules on 38 & 46 I'd like to sell. I bought it off the RCSE over the summer for $300 & shipping, and Visions were so hot that if you didn't see the post within an hour or so someone else had already bought it. Now I'm looking to sell it 6 months later, as I'm buying
