Well a bottle of Wild Turkey is one of the prizes. Sort of a consolation for hanging around in the Cold, Damp, Overcast day, just to fly 3 flights. Too bad it was a Sunday. This year Karl Miller supplied some hot food which was fantastic. Steve At 12:36 PM 12/5/2002 +, Tom wrote: Okay...

Don, I'd appreciate it if you would elaborate on your statement. I understand what you are saying in theory, but I've had very different results in actual practice. I've experimented with two identical planes, one at 9.25 oz and the other at 11 oz. In both launch and upwind penetration the heavi

Hi Sam, The servos may not be the problem. If these were stripped on landing with flaps down then learn to take the flaps off a second before you touch down. If there is grass on the field and the flaps drag across that it's a real load on the gears. One way to help on that is to buy servo arms fr
