Has anyone experimented with taking apart one of those super bright led

Subject: Scale Soaring List JR TX Module
Gents,
I own a JR 8103 DT TX and am somewhat
confused on the module purpose at this point. The JR manual informs the owner
that if
a replacement should probably poke into the chord of the elevator a bit.
the resulting bit of wire would then have two bends in it: one bend aft to
travel a bit into the chord, another bend down to be soldered to the ball.

I was checking out my Opus V after flying this weekend and noticed that the
metal part of the ball link attached to one of the elevators was loose.
The movement in the part itself is almost imperceptible by eye, but you can
feel that it will wiggle forward and back a tiny bit. It also resulted in
Can anyone tell me when the next big slope meet

LEDs don't respond simply to voltage they are driven by current. LEDs
should consequently be all in series so that they get the same current
through them. The difficulty comes in generating that current with a simple

I would recommend visiting the Ezone at www.ezonemag.com and looking at
their reviews section for several reviews of powered electric
sailplanes. Also stop by the sailplane forum in the discussion area and

I'm in the same boat as the original poster: started with a Spectra after
years.. decades, even, of boat and car experience. The Spectra is docile out
of the box, and performance increases GREATLY with addition of a 12X8

Perkins is three time World Champ. BTW...His Icon died before the contest. I
understand it blew up. This is not a design flaw but a
possible mistake in the layup. This is understandable given the fact that Perkins'
Icon was made on short notice.

Hi All, if Gordy would be so kind as to tell us what month the article on

I see. It is the trimming part. I guess when we tested it, it appeared to be trimmed
neutral, but it is a big plane, so may have appeared okay. If it wasn't, and had a

It is kind of interesting that one of the sites, not the official one I
think, was really kind of slamming the Icons as not stiff enough and if only
Daryl and Joe would fly real F3B ships from Europe they might have a chance.
