The Victory RES is hard to beat(although I did)and is not all that different in it's capabilities than a full house Victory. One of the reasons that these RES birds are doing better is that we are not afraid to launch them hard and take them downwind. Stew --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Art Mcnamee

Does anyone willing to share have an Excel spreadsheet or PC program that will let you determine the effects of the relative wind seen by the wing and tail of a plane in a thermal turn? I'm aware the Model Aviation articles around 1990 by Blaine Rawdon on spiral stability and the bowl effect

Re: [RCSE] Measuring Internal Resistance of F3B Winch Motors

2002-02-08 Thread Matthew Orme
The easiest way to measure a motors resistance, is to lock the shaft, and apply a known exact voltage to it, and measure the current draw at that voltage. Then just calculate the resistance. Easier, is if you have a power supply that can be limited to exactly 1 amp. I use a cable setup with
