[RCSE] NATS -- not REALLY soaring related, but....

Guys, Thanks to all of you for your expressions of concern about my not being at the NATS this year.  It'll be the first year in 9 I won't be there. 2 things have led me to cancel out. 1st, my folks in NH are not doing well.  I need that week to spend time with them.  At 84 and 83, we don't k

Mad Aircraft ?RE: [RCSE] RES Maxx Core Sets

Is there anything wrong with the email addresses of the people at Mad Aircraft that are displayed on their site ? I've tried to email them a few times (I want to buy a wingset for my Highlander, to get my kids a good place to start), but they don't answer. Stefan. RCSE-List facilities provided b

[RCSE] iHLGF

How 'international' was it this year? I didn't see any names in the list that looked like Team Germany or Team Austria. Do we know what kept them from coming back? Traveling cost? Wrong time of the year? Last year I talked to the Swiss guy who participated and he said some of the Germans who flew

[RCSE] Taboo - shameless plug

Hey, this again is your "poor ole Oleg flying that thing called Taboo that just happens to be his original design and probably did not cost him $1800 to build and equip", as Pat McCleave nicely put it (thanks, Pat). The following is a shameless plug for my new design Taboo (some may call it a

Re: [RCSE] planes wings and thing, Reflective Tape

I have been very happy with the reflective tape I ordered from planes, wings, and things. But the best stuff I have used came from the local hobby shop. Its self adhesive "trim decals" that come in strips about 5-6" x 36". They sell them next to the covering. The silver mirror like one works GR

[RCSE] Cost!

Good Afternoon I think cost in any sport is way up there if you want to be competitive... Look at where F1 cars are at now..!! Everything is expensive these days... I cant race cars because of that expense... Is that fair to me?? I want to race!! Doesn't matter! It is just the way life seems to be

Alt. Reflective tapes [was: [RCSE] planes wings and thing]

[ I sent a message earlier and it may have bounced. ] You can also find "flash" tape and similar products at a company called McCormick's Enterprises (Illinois). They sell mainly to the marching band profession. They have reflective tapes, and holographic tapes that are identical to those be

I don't care how big your fin is, a gyro will add 5-10 feet to your launch. Not everyone needs to maximize their launches, but I'll pay $50 for 5-10 feet at the biggest HLG contest of the year -l RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscrib

Re: [RCSE] Taboo - shameless plug

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know how many of the top finishing pilots were using gyros? My impression is that the gryo has the most effect on the "unguided" portion of the launch...when the pilot does not yet have both hands fimrly on the tx. Is this correct? If so, I kinda like the i

[RCSE] just thinking

I was reading an old issue of the AMA mag and saw a writeup about the 2000 AMA Nats. It had a link to a website that had the 1999 and 2000 donations listed. Made me wonder if there is a 2001 website for donations. Went to the LSF site and could not find anything listed. Did see something abou

Re: [RCSE] Pro series Smart charger

The story I heard is that George Joy, usually a member of this exchange, originally designed the charger, then sold it to Ace. Ace really messed with the design, turning it into a lousy charger. George was really pissed, and recinded the rights, re-packaging it as the Sirius charger we know and lo
