[RCSE] Questions on building a JW

Hi, I'm just starting to build my JW and have a few questions:- 1. Ultracoat? What is it? I can't get hold of it here in the UK, is it just a normal heatshrink film or is it the stronger heatshrink fabric type? 2. It was planning on using HS85MG servos, are these man enough for the rigours of D

RE: [RCSE] NSP Omega as DLHGL?

For all those contemplating the same, get yourself a DLG kit. They really need to be purpose built to stand up. Keep the Omega as a javelin launcher. Javelin is still fun, if not as competitive. Rick -Original Message- From: Gregory A. Stewart [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

At SAGE in Tucson we flew this type of contest for our May monthly. Except the CD was even meaner and you had to fly a line break or a pop-off (low altitude launch) and the winner had to land last but also within the field boundary. We had some long flights even though we started at 8am and f

RE: [RCSE] efficent wings for pylon turns

Planform will affect how a plane turns, but not really in the way you are thinking. A good planform (close to elliptic lift distribution) will allow higher angles of attack to be gernerated (tighter turns) without stalling. Higher AR wings will produce less induced drag (which is the dominate for
