2002-01-16 Thread John O'Sullivan
Entries in the WhipperWhiz Postal contest were disappointingly low. Maybe it was the weather, or because the model was not available ready finished with instructions and CG location, or maybe as a 6 inch model, some people had a size complex. Whatever the reason, the results will show what a rang

Hi Bob, there are some 2 meter TD gliders that would do well on the slope. When it's mild just fly stock and in the wind add balast. Sal at NE sailplanes has some. I used to fly Bob Martins SR7 which I really liked to fly. If I could find 2 kits somewhere I would buy them. One for me and one for

I started with glow powered planes, well in RC, but did lots of control line stuff as a kid.  For some reason, sailplanes were always a fascination for me and while I was as focus'd and hard core with RC power, I always had some 'gliders' in the basement. When I say hard core into power, I mean as

Working in subfreezing temps is less than desirable. For instance: 5 minute epoxy flatly refuses to leave the bottle in these temps. But in response to the monocoat heatgun, it flows fairly well. Then, with just a bit more of the heatgun, it starts to flow very nicely. Unfortunately, it kicks rat
