Jack, if your duck has a BNC connector just use a 500 ohm BNC network
terminator. This loads the transmitter enough to simulate a short range
check.

Jerry,
As you know, I do not like skegs. Usually stopping in less than an inch travel, skegs give a severe shock to the sailplane and hard mounted electronics. I know of three competition sailplanes and one prominent contestant that have been physicaly damaged (or injured) this year caused by
Hey Bob,
I am closly following this thread since I recently installed a Smiley
Duckie on my TX6A and have some concerns on a couple of my slope ships as
to range issues. Your reply seems to offer a solution but for us technically
challenged folks; just what is a 500 ohm BNC network terminator
I just received a new batch of Rubber Ducky antennas. I have two of each color and
style, except blue which I only have one non,
and one adapter style.
Prices are as follows and include shipping:
$23.50 for non adapter type (fits Stylus, Profi and JR PCM 10 series)
$27.50 for adapter type
Right Joe its something like that. If your smiley has a BNC connector
or sometimes called a bayonet connector or mount, then you use the
terminator. The terminator is what's used in cable networks to plug
unused ends to load the cable for continuity. Any good electronics store
should have
Good Morning!
I have a rubber duck antenna... I had to use it one contest.. I had my
unlimited glider as high as I ever care to be and have had no problems!
So far I see no reason to not use one.. I have started useing mine for
the discus launch glider. With the move to throw a discus launch
In line with the discussion on rubber duckies...we witnessed a rubber duckie
being taken out (along with the pilot) during the warbird races at the
Midwest Slope Challenge this past weekend! An errant foamie warbird (perhap
two) nailed the antenna and broke it off along with part of the radio!

Since we would have to land without skids or skegs at Chicago, I'm not
interested.
It's no skegs on a FAI tape in Chicago, just like F3J. That's an easy
landing task for the pilot and on the model.

is really the most exciting way to contest as well as the most fair to

I would like to that all of you who inquired about the Xenath

As of right now the Xenath is sold.

I heard of someone who has supposedly made a
pitcheron/wingeron Hobie Hawk... maybe somewhere in
the Torrey Pines, CA area?
If anyone has any info on this project (probably about
5-7 years ago!) please email me!
Thanks!
