I'm lousy at estimating heights. My guess is 80'. But that is every throw all day long. Keith Watson RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send subscribe and unsubscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Manny: Your performance last Sunday at the Inland Soaring Society-SC2 event, winning the Expert Class and finishing 4th overall is just outstanding. You finished only 1 point off the third and 3 points under the 2nd overall places. Keep up the good work!! best regards, Alberto

It's all fun, I agree. For some darned reason or another the LM Bass is currently the most popular fish in America, overall. I live right next to what may be the best bass lake in America (this year). When in Rome... Have fun - Rob Yea - I'll second that. A good bass is like having a dozen or

[RCSE] Escape CG

Greetings, I wonder if the guys flying the "Escape" would share there CG set up with me? Say at a point aft of the LE, at the root, either in MM or inches. I would like something that fly's "good" and not so far aft that its "squirrelly" (SP?). TIA R.D. (RD) Smith Fayetteville, GA

[RCSE] CG Ranges, Escape

I like to see folks asking about CG ranges. I think it's entertaining and sometimes educational. Even if I don't own the particular plane being discussed. R.D. Smith has started the ball rolling with the Escape. If you fly one, please tell us your CG location (from LE please). Once we exhaust
