[RCSE] Soaring in Asheville, NC ?

Hello All, I am driving to Asheville, NC, later this month (with my s.o., to see her mother...) I will be there around the 24th, for a few days. Is there good sloping or thermaling in the area ? If so, I'm considering to bring (a small) or to ship a (big) big plane, to go play while I'm there

Oh. Because the LED on the first solenoid is passing current. I get it. Thanks. -Ben Mark Holm wrote: Current still flows through the LED across the open solenoid. It isn't nearly enough to turn the motor, but it is enough (if the dropping resistorsdon't have too much resistance) to light

Re: [RCSE] OVSS #2 Day One

The odds were a bit in the favor of that as I know three of them were not there on Sunday... which perhaps left two or three if Paul Siegel showed up. Did the weather cooperate for day #2? If so, what were the results? I reckon from your post that the weather did cooperate and you did well.

Re: [RCSE] Stylus Tx NiCD pack mods

Hey Tom, I have a Sirius tester and it won't work with my 1100mah nicad TX packs, but it will do the 700's, what's up with that? It will do my 1500mak RX packs though. Thanks, Dave Dave, I have no idea. Even though I have used a lot of different chargers (and sell quite a few), I have

Nice post Denny, glad to see the scores promptly. YES, Chicago in 2 weeks. http://www.SOARchicago.com/Contests/6thAnnualFredFredricksonM.html And I can even make both days! (keeping my fingers crossed) Steve Meyer LSF III At 08:46 PM 6/8/2003 -0500, Denny Zech wrote: Tough day of flying, rain

Re: [RCSE] Stylus Tx NiCD pack mods

I don't think the Sirius Super Test cares (or can even know, for that matter) whether a pack is NiCD or NiMH...as long as it's 4, 5 or 8 cells it should work fine. Maybe a diode issue with a particular pack prevents it from discharging through the tester? Tom - Original Message - From:

RE: [RCSE] I found the aluminum X-mitter box !

I picked up one just the other day. Holds 2 transmitters as well as a bunch of airborne battery packs (I always carry them separate for the ease of charging them). Not bad for about $25. Kurt -Original Message- From: Steve Gibson [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, June 08,

[RCSE] IHLGF 2003 Final Results

It was another great year for the International Handlaunch Glider Fest in Poway CA. The contest was particularly challenging this year with overcast conditions through the contest with alternating very light and moderate lift. There was also not as much wind this year resulting in many fewer off
