[RCSE] History Channel Topic

This month, the History Channel is showing, on their Suicide Missions program, Silent Wings, a description of the military use of gliders during WW2. Good footage of an excellent scale topic, the German DFS 230, and lots of footage showing why one doesn't see any WACO (no relation to a brand

[RCSE] It's too windy to fly when...

This spring has been, as usual, rather windy. A common theme for Central Texas. On Saturday three weeks ago, I took my Highlander out for a practice session at 8:30 a.m. because I figured I would get some early morning flying before the spring winds really started blowing. I've been trying to fit

Ok, first lesson in wanting to spend your spare time flying...DON'T let anyone know you know anything and DON'T volunteer your time. Just kidding on a serious note I now maintain the Mid Columbia Soaring http://www.eaglbutte.urx.com/eaglebutte site here in the Tri-Cities and there have been

[RCSE] Re: It's too windy to fly when...

A glider rule: feeding in down elevator can cure a lot of problems. (In otherwords, keep the fuselage horizontal or nose down, avoid letting it get nose up). about a quarter of the way up, I began to panic because the wind was pushing the plane so hard Whenever you start getting into trouble on

Hi Gang, I guess the way you get around waiting for months for a Fun-1 is to buy just the fuse and build your own wings and tails. I ordered a fuse on a Monday and had it on Friday shipping all the way to Kansas. I will tell you this much though you won't really save any money building your

Re: [RCSE] nylon bolt failure data

One bit of advice I'm been given is to score the bolts I have, but I'm not thrilled about doing this -- crack propagation is pretty tricky stuff... I saw an interesting tip in, I think R/C Report, this month - rather than score the bolt, instead drill a hole down the center. The tip used a

[RCSE] Cockpit MM Transmitter

I posted a message a week ago about the fact I could not get my Cockpit to work with my JR 610 receiver or my Hitec Super Slim 8. Both had brand new crystals installed, and yes both are positive shift JR style. The problem is neither still will work with the transmitter. What am I overlooking

Re: [RCSE] History Channel Topic

Sort of on subject. I have been wanting to build a 1/4 scale W.W.II American troop glider. Waco CG-4A. I can't find a kit or plans. Anyone have a resource? Charles. - Original Message - From: James C Deck [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: RCSE [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2001 4:21

RE: [RCSE] Whyte wings Jade

I set up a friend's Jade with a Futaba 8 and did the trimming and set up for him. The Jade is a very well mannered plane, especially for a full-house ship. It doesn't have the speed range of the latest contest ships, but will hold its own in a contest. I was amazed at its ability to float. It it
