[RCSE] Wing to fuselage connection.

I am working on a 1/3.5 scale DG600 and need some advise on wing bolts and connection to the fuselage. I am having trouble deciding on the wing bolt. Should I choose a circular or rectangular bolt? And what materials is best suitable, steel or carbon (as the F3x type planes use). Anyone have any

Interesting this should come up. As CD for the 2002 NATS HL, I was planning to allow multiple ships for the contest as I did back in 2000. But this was not approved as a deviation of The rules of AMA for the NATS. I think in HL multiple ships are very appropriate, reynolds numbers are low and

Flying here in the East on the ESL contest circuit I can honestly, and thankfully, say that I don't see this rule getting bent or abused. If you do, then you are flying with the wrong group of guys. Most do have more than one model. It is then up to the flyer to chose which plane is going to

The783 is practically an 8103 with only 7 modele memory. I have an 8103, and I would suggest that if this is gonna be your 'last' radio, go for the top. Get the 8103. .bc([EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.widomaker.com/~conk Williamsburg, VA 23185 On Tue, 5 Mar 2002, Michael

I think the multiple HLG model use is due to the nature of HL contests. There are multiple launches/tasks/ flights in any given round. It is never a one flight thing like a TD round. In TD if you land off field that's it. In HL if you land off field you grab another plane and continue to try your

Erik, I have used the Multiplex wing snaps on several of my recent projects. This inlcudes a 1/3 Duo Discus, a 1/3 scale Salto, and a tug based on a 1/3 Salto. These are very cheap, hold well and will release in event of something catastrophic. They are basically little nylon connectors, one
