...Here's a question that illustrates the inherent paradoxes of a
nostalgia event: There's a certain cutoff date after which planes
aren't legal. Does that date advance by one year each year? If not, why
not?
This was hashed out thoroughly on this forum a few years ago.
I'll just subscribe to RCSE - the Internet forum for the R/C soaring
enthusiast. It's free, there are many contributors, it's fresh (most of the
time), very informative, lively reading, etc, etc, blah, blah, blah. Maybe
there would be more pages to RCSD if someone would reprint the info posted

Most of the better chargers on the market have extensive error checking software to
try to spot operator errors and prevent unfortunate occurrences like this one.
However, there is no way that a multi-purpose charger can distinguish by itself
between a properly discharged 3-cell pack and a

Also keep in mind that most often, many builders would often re-engineer some of the
kits back then in order to introduce some structural improvement. Were these planes
banned from flying back then? Obviously not. Case in point. Many guys modfied the

One suggestion: buy the quality packs. Meaning the expensive packs
unfortunately. You really can get what you pay for when you choose a cheap
pack like the lesser costing packs from places like Tower.
There are many suppliers with good stuff, such as Cermark, SR Batteries,
etc...Choose a
OK, so maybe the pictures aren't National Geographic quality and the
editorial content leaves something to be desired, but RCSD still fills a
niche. It was here long before Quiet Flyer and Quiet and Electric
Flight came into existence and was borne out of a desire to provide the R/C

If you're looking for quality battery packs, you can't do much better than
Diversity... Check out www.flydma.com, call / email and ask about your

Hi Guys,
I now have an electric glider coming so it is time to buy a charger
to be able to charge the flight packs. I am looking for
recommendations on what will be the best charger I can get under
$200.00. While on the subject of flight packs, who makes the best
packs and are the zapped

Greetings,
I have received a few inquires about my up coming (now in the planning
stage) 2004 Wood Crafters SOAR NATS, an all out competition event for
woodys and how it will compare to the Nostalgia events that have been flown
in the past. So maybe this is the time and place to explain what

While I am in a complaining mood, I find the modern model magazines to
be far less useful and harder to read than they used to be. My
My previous post should not be mistaken as being negative, it sounds like
and interesting contest I might like to attend. I have built and flown
many woody's, and have a few nice ones.
It's just not a contest run by our club.
