Julian Tamez, flying a Super V, won the Open class and Don Cleveland, flying a Searcher 100, won the RES class. There was some nice lift and very light winds. It made for a super day. No mishaps and smiles all around...and win or lose...that's what we really went for! If you missed it...you

OK...that was funny! Jeb Bushell wrote: The danger is that the line could blow back over the launch area and include the pilot, who would presumably be distracted, in the loop. Then, when the retriever kicks in, the loop tightens like a cheese wire around the pilot's neck (inevitably)

Re: [RCSE] Flexable covering for twisting wings?

2002-06-03 Thread Lincoln Ross
Don't fly very fast, or it will be a recipe for flutter, which can destroy airplanes very quickly. Make the control linkage as rigid as you can. OTOH, don't fly very slowly, as wingeron airplanes can experience severe adverse yaw, and I'd expect twisted wings to do the same, tho of course using a

Sorry to waste band width, but most of us glider guys are pretty handy with computers, except me... I just dropped my laptop in the parking lot at work, I think it's dead. So does anyone have a used one for sale, or a specific recommendation on where to get a very inexpensive used one on the net
