Re: [RCSE] predator

Supposedly an inverted v-tail is more efficient, isn't it? OTOH, it could have to do with not blocking some of the transmit/receive antennas from an overhead view. Bill Harris wrote: > > Interesting weapons we can come up with. > > I wonder what the advantage of the inverted v-tail is? > > -

[RCSE] Re: Olympic II

I'd guess a size 12W tennis or maybe the Aquila airfoil. If you're scratch building, why not do something like a d-tubed Clark Y? Would probably fly better, tho more work. You'd have to work to keep the tips light. THere's probably a hi tech equivalent that would be just a bit better, I suppose, b

RE: [RCSE] cold (or cool) weather gloves

What I've used in the past has been glove liners for motocross gloves. They're thin wool gloves that are designed to go inside your existing motocross gloves. Where they differ from what you're using now is that the palms up through the finger tips are covered with a polka dot pattern of rubberize

RE: [RCSE] cold (or cool) weather gloves

Instead of gloves I find it much more convenient to use a transmitter mitt. Here's the one I use: http://www.fatlion.com/bash/index.html If it gets very cold I'll combine the mitt with gloves. If it gets super cold I put hand warmers in my gloves. Cold hands kill the fun. Bill Swingle [EMAIL PRO

I was going to buy a feather for a HLG Im building. I thought the .60 ounces less weight was worth the limited range. Now, as more and more bad comments are raised against the Fether, I'm in doubt. Please help me anyone with experience in this matter. Thanks in advance. Marcio - Original

Re: [RCSE] Rubber ducky antenna's illegal in competition

Not to fan the Great Duckie Debate, but I agree with Jason. If a short or baseloaded antenna is type-certified by the manufacturer for that Tx, then it's useable. If not, then don't. Likewise, you _can_ get by with changing the Tx xtal to change channels or you can drive without wearing a
