Lack of time made me get rid of my slimers... I love the smell of castor
oil and methanol burning on a warm sunny morning though. Q-40's, pattern,
Bipe's all fun for me.
I still fly rocket power RC though love the smell, reminds me of the
4th of July.

We are serious so serious in fact we have rejected the
last batch of crystals. Even though they would have worked but not as well
as they should have been. This hurt us in the marketplace but I would
rather not compromise then rush to market.
BTW ALL CHANNELS on the TX side have passed QC

I've built, rebuilt, and rebuilt, and rebuilt. You get the idea. I never

The wings will go W A Y before the tow hook fails. I don't think you have

Stanley,
I heard from Steve Kaluf of the AMA that the Canadian Nationals were canceled this
year. We do have a few competitors from the
Great White North joining us in Muncie at the NATS this year. Get your entry
postmarked by June 30th, which is tomorrow.

That came out wrong.
My point is there is a limited choice for frequencies.
I assume as MPX get's more serious about the US market they will
eventually support all frequencies.

Hi List,

Good point, Andy.
I'm inclined to keep the Windfree simple, and not add spoilers. I've
noticed that I raise the nose and mush it in for a spot landing pretty well.

Hi!
What kind of slope (how big and steep) is required for Gentle Lady? Or is
it impossible or pointless at all? I just attempted to fly mine on the
biggest local slope and was lucky enough to get it back undestroyed. The
slope is steep and quite low (about 15 meter high), the wind was strong

That is absolutely correct, Dave. The wings on my refurbished '72 Windfree
flex a lot-- the wingrods and wing spars are "matched" in strength. The
problem is that I have to carefully modulate the winch pedal else the wings
will fold, and this limits my launch height.
If I just used stiffer w
