An 80 oz Emerald Won SWC 2001. It drove thru all those nasty little thermals
hanging out over the landing zone. In one round there were four huge dust
devils all lined up about a mile straight out from the launch. I made it out
there( thru massive sink) when many were turning back. Downwind

Should spoilers be computer-mixed with some up elevator, or do most guys
flying RES, add up- elevator manually on landing approach?
What setup is used by most RES pilots?

I have a Higgins F-20 that I have been flying for about a year. I
cant seem to get the speed and energy retention out of it like those
guys on the DS Fest and Lift Ticket videos. Mine is pretty light. I
was wondering what other peoples F-20 weighs in at. Im think I need
to add a boatload
If memory serves me, you must inhibit flaperon, as it overrides
spoileron. You need to crank up the landing differential to ~50% and
then re-center the ailerons mechanically. This should give you the
wanted result. I think crow has to be active to get the throttle stick
in the picture too. I'll
.. a lighter plane will sink slower...
Well, a lighter plane will fly slower. Sink speed is the product of
flight speed * L/D, so unless the L/D goes up as fast as the the
forward speed, a lighter plane will indeed sink slower.
But the L/D does go up some with wing loading because of Reynolds

Email me direct if you please. Its one pretty glider!.John

I'm no expert but have flown F-20's and Rodent's for awhile. First, how
much wind are you flying in? Does your slope furnish real good compression
type flying? This is real important if you want to really get good punch.
My F-20's Rodents don't really start showing what I would consider

For what it's worth: I've seen Scott Hewett be tempted and eventually launch
one of his Higgins planes (the plane shown in Lift Ticket) into
*gorgeous*, coastal lift that was blowing 25MPH... and it wasn't enough.
Unsuccessful.
I say he was tempted because he knew it
Computer mixing should not be required for properly designed spoilers.
This is an artificial requirement. One could
just as well argue that elevator mixing should not be
required for properly designed flaps, since this
just might allow you to use a somewhat simpler radio.
It could be done...
