And how were they measuring the height, with a Picolario, some other
vario?

Hi Darrell.
I noticed that he is not using breather on the top of the wing. Phil, I
believe you are using breather top and bottom.
Could this be the cause?

I'm sure this has been covered before but I've been having fits trying
to come up with the best method for securing servos in a Phil Barnes foam
core wing. I have used a glue known as PFM, I think it also is known as shoe
goo. This adhesive, although strong and secure, dimples the top
The key to using Goop or Shoe Goo, PFM - same stuff. In fact the
Household version of Goop is the least expensive has the same chemical
make-up of the Goop specific-use titles, is to not over-do it. Use only
enough so that when you push to servo down, it does not ooze out around
the servo case
With the advent of Mark Drela's cantilever method mounting of servos, other
methods that involve adhering them to the skin or adhering commercial servo
mounts to the skin, seem crude to me.
Details on Marks's method are given in the Genie pages, located at

Not sure if its attacking the foam, but it certainly distorts the top
surface
Two ideas that worked reasonably well:
1) Goop has great
you're making it way to complicated. the foam in Phil's wings is plenty
dense to provide lateral and front/rear containment for a servo. it works
very well to route a cavity that puts the servo top flush with the wing
bottom with the servo being a VERY snug fit in the cavity. make enough room
Big year of fun for me this season!
For my first time seeing F3J, I got tows from the our American team,
the Norwegians and Turks at the Worlds in Calgary.
Got to fly a contest in Australia, finished off LSF2 and shortly 3..and
today got to do some F3J launches and speed runs! Flew my Pike
Gordy,
I know flyin with the Hotlanta boys is more fun
than most have ever had, but we had a nice day in STL. A few guys showed
up to the farm and flew, got Kieth and his Magic, ya one of the Waco Magics,
trouble shot when the slide on V-tail (a problem waiting to happen and did) had
slid
Gordy, surely you must be afairly experienced F3Ber. I mean 14
seconds, thats damn fast, especially for a newbie, which by your timeI
assume you are not-and w/ a Pike Superior to boot! Good flyin man!!

Well, no offense to Gordy, but when your Base B turn is signaled by the
guy at Base A saying yeah, that's about it, ROLL, TURN!, we don't
worry about notifying FAI. :)

Thanks everyone for your answers, I will remount my servos and I'm sure they
will be secure.

is 110 amps. The charger is the EverStart for Boating/RV. It is a
