Re: [RCSE] Antenna for HLG

I've been using some Litz wire on my HLGs. Works really well and is very light. I'm using a version that has 20 #44 wires twisted with a nylon strand. Each wire is like small magnet wire as it's insolated with a coating. The coating burns off when soldering, so each strand makes contact. Stran

Hawks, I saw a reference to the Tri-County Barnstormers Glider Contest for May 22nd. That's the weekend before the Deep-South and they always have some prizes. I won a pair of Hitec 55 Servos last time I was there. Not bad for a country boy. We should attend and support our neighbor clubs. I'm goi

Great question Joe. Not sure what "indent" represents. However, the negative (-) end is flat with no protrusions, and forms the side of the battery as well. The positive (+) usually will have a protrusion (button) which is electrically isolated form the bottom/sides. If you have a volt meter,
