[RCSE] F5J Contest (Electric Sailplane) - Houston, TX.

[RCSE] Phoenix - from the ashes

Just last week on Monday, I was looking at going to Denver next week for the F3J team selections and my F3J quiver was reduced to broken parts. This is a terrible feeling, I had worked so hard to put some nice models together and practice with for the team selects and they all had been

[RCSE] Bad servo on elevator

Not to reopen an old discussion but a clubmate of mine lost his Emerald today due to the elevator servo locking up on him in flight. The servo in question was a Hi-Tec 225BB. I know that any brand of servo can fail unexpectedly (I missed a flight at last years Fall Festival because a JR 351

[RCSE] Day two of Lexington Kentucky's Mid Am Soaring Champs

I won againwell just open class today and over all point champ for the two days. I stunk in Standard class, with the first round maxed and the last round maxed, but the two in the middle I got crushed by sink. Fortunately so did others so I end up with some wood in that class too.:-) My last

Re: [RCSE] Bad servo on elevator

Got a couple in my Super-V, ruddervators, have never been happier with performance. Key phrase here I know that any brand of servo can fail unexpectedly I have used about every servo brand out there, and not one has been flawless. (although some problems have been my own doing.) :-) IMHO, My

[RCSE] Big servos on Ruddervators

IF you did the servo calc for ruddervators on a open class plane, you'll find that in a total sky'd out speed dive with a heavy 3m plane, you need about 11oz per rudder vator. The 225's have lots more than that and should last a long time...but what the heck better stout servos in the nose rather

Re: [RCSE] Airtronics

I don't know if they still do it but, when I bought my Stylus 2 years ago Airtronics would sell the Stylus direct to the customer at below retail. I talked to Bobby Tom. My local hobby shop takes forever if you buy thru them i.e., they said it would take 6 months to deliver a 50 Mhz crystal,

[RCSE] WTB: Eraser center section

After entering an edge of vision spin this afternoon I find myself in need of a center section of an Eraser xtreme wing. Not sure if a non-xtreme section would work, but I suspect it would. Alternatively, if you are looking for a part of good condition wingtips and a cleanly broken but repairable

Hello Jeff, I realise this is quite late but the balance point on the 2 meter fox made by Gerasis is 45mm behind the leading edge and on my Fox works great. Good luck. Amper EPP IT'S A START-NOW MOVE ON -- Amper ---
