Re: [RCSE] New Member with a question

Klint, Hand launch! L little zip start (or a DLG). That is the way to go. You will learn more from a hand launch than any other type of thermalling. Yes, it requires some work, but with DLG, it is really not that bad. Plus you can always us a small zip start. The other good things. HL

Re: [RCSE] cg questions again.

cg location depends on a bunch of things, but for the purposes of modelers the best idea is to make a lot of simplifying assumptions, use a shorthand formula, and then adjust by flight trimming. Howard Chevalier offers a workable rule of thumb (Model Aerodynamics, p. 109) neutral point = locatio

A friend of mine is wondering if it is better to winch his DG 1000 "5.5m" off a winch with a bridal, or catapult launch it with the tow hook up front on the nose. We don't have a tow plane. Any advice or experience would be much appreciated. Aloha from Maui, Gerald F. Please contact Ted at:
