[RCSE] composite strengths and buckling

If I remember my equations for buckling of long columns, they do NOT include any factors for the STRENGTH of the material.  What does matter is unsupported length, thickness (or diameter), and material MODULUS (stiffness).  Carbon fiber is stiffer than fiberglass and so would be better.  However th

"Is it worth sending Volz Wing Maxx in for repairs?" Why not ask the expert? [EMAIL PROTECTED] No charge for labor (unless you have cut the plugs off, then there is a $5 penalty charge, I hate having to solder to check servos, especially when that VMS plug is sooo convenient), you just pay parts,

Re: [RCSE] Flap Deflection on Typical Moldie

I am sure someone with more knowledge about fluid dynamics can say this better than I can, but it is NOT frontal area that determines drag. The drag increases faster than the frontal area when you lower the flaps and the drag increase from 60 degrees and 90 degrees is enormous, much more than the

[RCSE] Need wing rods with more dihederal

Any one making wing rods out there.  I am looking for a 1/2 inch carbon wing rod with more break.  More like 10 degrees.  I am also looking for a 3/8 inch aluminum rod for a two meter.  Also with more like 10 degrees.  Finally I am looking for a wing rod for an Omega 1.8.  The current wing rod is f

Re: [RCSE] Differential

I wonder if there's not an error in the channel assignment diagrams for the 8103. I would think that a manufacturer would keep channel assignments consistent across much (if not all) of their product line...but certainly among their top two or three products. Yet, when I switched to the J

Re: [RCSE] Carbon fibre

Tord, I think if you look you will find that carbon fiber is good in compression and tension. Yes better in tension, but it is also good in compression. The problem is that there are additional forces that must be applied. The main is the bonding/resin strength that is necessary to combine

[RCSE] Re: The Vision Radio

Hi, I have just purchased a full house electric sailplane and I need to know how it is possible to set up the Vision Radio. It will have 6 Servos, 2-V tail and 2-ailerons and 2 flaps. I will be using a BEC controller and a separate battery for the RX. I wish to keep the flaps on the left stick! No
