Re: [RCSE] Altitude braggers

Also, amongst other things, the ALTI 2 will definitely (accurately) record any aircraft's performance which can also be (directly) compared to any other similarly measured aircraft's flight performance!! I suspect that in the future manufacturer claims will include data showing actual zero-lift (

[RCSE] STOP the Madness....List the planes!!!

[RCSE] Freddy

As always the trip to the Freddy contest is interesting. On Friday morning as I was heading down to Chicago I found a dear in the way ! It took about 3 1/2 hour to get the Van back home and reload the truck. I was lucky enough to see three friends finish there Level IV. The contest on Saturday fo

RE: [RCSE] Best vehicle for RC transport

I'm driving a Dodgo Dakota with a hard tonneau cover that hinges up. The bed is over six feet long, so it can haul a bunch of unlimited planes. I drove a pile of them down to Visalia last fall for the SASS guys. The nice thing is that everything is out of sight and locked up. And I can also thr

27 Aug 1995 I flew my altimeter equiped Windsong to 3740' AGL here in central Arkansas. At one point i lost the plane for 20 - 30 seconds. That does not seem like a long time but it lasted for ever at thsat time. Mark Wales Soaring Is Life!! __

[RCSE] best vehicle for RC transport

I use my company GMC half ton cargo van. It gets about 17 on the highway, excellent visibility, great ride, incredibly reliable, and plenty of power. If you don't have a step-in-trailer, this IMHO is the next best ride. Whatever the scale, it will slide right in, lock the doors. Mickey RCSE-List

Each contest is flown as a team, the results always seem to only reflect half of the team members who flew. A team consists of the pilot and his plane. What was flown by whom? Gordy

RE: [RCSE] Altitude braggers

Don,   While I understand what you're saying about the ELV...The ALTi2 Data Logger provides a different kind of information for a different situation. Most of my customers...Bacus, Meyer, Strother, Glover, etc are using the ALTi2 to gather data on their launch profile in order to analyze to

Re: [RCSE] potential frequency problems

Pagers do use the frequencies in between our frequencies. About all you can do is monitor them and complain if they are off-frequency. My local field had one that was a little off-frequency for a while. It would cause problems. A real pain to figure out since they don't always transmit. You

While we're on the subject of radio interference from high-powered electrical devices, I have a related question. We have two horses. Both of them are BIG (one Clydesdale, one Belgian-Clydesdale). Savannah, our Belgian-Clydesdale (she looks similar to "Big John" in the Tim Allen - Kirstie Alley

If you want a wagon, consider a post 1983 Mercedes Turbo Diesel Wagon. These cars sell for less than $7K used, get about 30 miles per gallon on diesel fuel which is usually cheaper when gas prices spike and this car has plenty of power. The maintenance consists of oil and fuel filter changes and 20

Some awesome flying today.  There were 5 flight groups flying man on man.  The last 2 flight groups got buried in the last round. Group 4 was buried by Jack Strother when he snuck away in a thermal by himself.  And in Group 5 Tom Kallevang and Mike Remus put a hurt on their fellow contestants that
