[RCSE] alternative for nylon metric bolts

Gents, I learned from Doug Reel a while back that you can easily re-tap those imbedded steel metric nuts in your Euro plane to a more available (at least in the US) size if you use some care. I picked up a tap set from a local hardware store for about $25, and it was money well spent. Pick a ta

[RCSE] Is Light Aluminum wire ok for an antenna?

Gents, I heard second hand that George Steiner said a carbon boom itself would work as an antennae, since the carbon is conductive. Anyone tried it? How could the receiver wire be attached to the carbon? Rob Crockett Grass Valley, CA RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send

Thanks Matt, This is a good, quick explanation of what charging is all about. Too bad I didn't ask this question 2 weeks ago. Oh well... Off I go to the Sirius website. cheers Don Matt Lydon wrote: 003101c0b34e$e68a2cd0$0101@mattswin2k">Straight "Charging For Begginers" answer, Don -With a w

[RCSE] RES Maxx Core Sets

Hi Gang, I have two sets of RES Maxx Cores cut and ready to ship. The price is $50/set plus shipping. These cores were all cut from 1.5# density Dow Greyboard Foam. This is a RES ship designed by the Harley Michaelis. You can get more information on the finished product and also building instr

Re: [RCSE] all this chat about chargers???

Well, I guess I've been lucky. I've been flying gliders and power planes for around 15 years, have used only the wall-warts, and never had a single battery problem (well, there was the time my Boomerang almost caught on fire, but that's another story). When my batteries start getting a few ye

Re: [RCSE] Questions Regarding the MH-32 vs. the SA 7035 Airfoils

I own two Artemises (Artemii?) and the plane flies great. I don't do slope, so I can't comment on its capabilities there, though I believe it wasn't designed with that in mind. It thermals VERY well and has good legs for getting around. The fact that a novice like myself can fly it reasonably w

Re: [RCSE] all this chat about chargers???

Straight "Charging For Begginers" answer, Don - With a wall charger, you have to charge for 18 hrs for a full charge. If you constantly go fly and run your pack 1/2 way down, then charge, your nicads will develop 'memory' and get weak after running that 1/2 charge you usually fly, and you'll have

[RCSE] Flying near Palm Springs, CA

Folks, I'm interested in both thermal and slope in the Palm Springs, CA area. I'm aware that D.U.S.T fly on a school field on Sundays, but (1) that's the least convenient day for me, (2) if I'm on vacation, I'd like to be able to fly more than once a week, and (3) this doesn't address the issue

[RCSE] Questions Regarding the MH-32 vs. the SA 7035 Airfoils

Fellow Soaring Enthusiast, I am torn between getting two different gliders with two different airfoils. Glider # 1 the Artemis F3J with the SA 7035 airfoil (http://www2.jonction.net/~icare/Artemis.htm) and glider # 2 the El Camino F3B with the MH-32 airfoil (http://www2.jonction.net/~ica

Re: [RCSE] all this chat about chargers???

A wall wart is like my 3rd or 4th line back up.  Had to go check on the UL thing, it appears my Japan Radio wall wart is not UL approved.  8-) (There, Dr K didn't have to say it but I knew what he was saying anyway.) That's OK, I have an old (wont mention the name) sirius like design for fast pea

[RCSE] Piggyback

To piggyback a 100" glider (like a Riser and such) would a 40 size trainer with a 60 on it work or would I need a 60 size trainer with a slightly larger engine? Thanks RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
