Hi Rense Al I always thought... That if something is on the field it "WILL" be hit! It's called. THE LAW OF ATTRACTION ! Last year at the Mid Winter Electrics I found a three inch piece of pipe sticking out of the sand. Well, Jason hit it with his rudder when he was putting on a demo for Sean @ Aer

Dave, It is absolutely bunk that the Stratos SL has any structural weaknesses.  We have been flying seven of them for up to two years with no structural wing or V-tail failures on launch.  This sailplane is an excellent AMA thermal duration competitor.  It also has a great speed range for flying c

I thought it was common knowledge that model airplane related items and activities defy the laws of physics. I know this, based on my experience with thin CA. At this point, I'm not sure if I've fixed more or wrecked more with that stuff. I know it readily flows against gravity and occasionall

Denny, nothing personal and nothing XP3 specific here:  I've had this with other planes also. My Sharon hit a tree, and I could have sworn that its mass pulled up the branches!  The fact that it seems to work for itty-bitty planes as well only strengthens my argument!   --- Rense Lange --- [EMAI

As an aircraft mechanic I have also noted unusual physical anomalies: When an access cover on a flat floor is opened, gravity appears to be focussed at the aperture. A tool at rest nearby will accelerate and disappear through this aperture. It may be found, but sometimes I think it travels to t

Today, my XP3 hit a pole, a 3 ft high metal pole. It did not hit hard, and little harm was done, but hard enough to say that it "hit" rather than just "touched." I had noted the pole earlier, but it seemed far away: you know, nothing to worry about far away. At first I considered the possibility

A question for other Stratos owners (or Dieter)... a club member heard that I might have to take it easy on launches because the SL version was not as strong. He was not sure but trying to be the friend he is by passing along a caution he had heard. Is this true? Should I avoid full-pedal lau

The Synergy 5 from RNR is a full flying T tail version, but if you have a fuse from a Millenium full flying stab fuselage that will work too... or a fuse from the Molded F3B Eagle... I wouldn't mind if it has a some cracks that are fixable... and I figure there must be a few lonely fuses from wrec

I flew my Stratos SL for the first time today and what a beauty! I own several high end TD ships but the Stratos is by far the smoothest flying ship I own! A question for other Stratos owners (or Dieter)... a club member heard that I might have to take it easy on launches because the SL version
