The first pass (ie. work in progress) of the RCSE URLS page is now available at: http://www.netwinder.org/~andrewm/rc/urls.html It is currently just a big list of "unique" URLS culled from the RCSE mailing list. I've only reviewed about the first 75 of the nearly 3000 URLS so far (in reality,

Re: [RCSE] It's Kaltons fault!!!!

Well glad to see it is out doing what it does best FLY! Great to see reports of donations getting used not sold under price on ebay! I as a donator would rather people go out and fly the donated items even if they don't fly that type of plane!! Besides that is one heck of a great plane. Smooth

[RCSE] German Aero Club Letter

For those who are nervous about opening attachments, I have copied the text from the letter recently posted from the German Aero Club. Seems like a worthwhile commentary on the whole towing thread that's been raging on the exchange. Wouldn't want someone to miss it just 'cause they don't want to o

RE: [RCSE] Profi 4000 for HLG's?
