Most of the GENIE files at http://genie.rchomepage.com/ have just been

In building my 8th Genie LT/S, I worked out a simple, dedicated servo
mounting system for the RDS and figured out how to easily rout clean,
uniform wells and
Just wanted to say that I had great service from Barry on my most
recent order of Volz servos for my new Pike! I ordered mid last week
and received the package today, even though I changed my order at the
last minute. You can't ask for better than that.

One of the early lessons I learned. Before launch, exercise the planes

I have bought from hobby horse always good to deal with and prices are good in most cases.

Looking back, I would never do this again, but I built a Top Flite
Antares and installed a captive release towhook on it - I think that's
called compounding your problem.
Anyway, I was very green, very nervous, and my first couple flights were
not much more than hops off the line (at the West
My story involves the destruction of my first molded ship and a valuable
lesson learned. I had this wonderful flying Xantipa, a 127 16.5 /1.00
high aspect ration sailplane that Skip imported. Weighed a metric ton
but really soars well. About 1000 squares and 83 oz. As a new sailplane

Greetings all;
Well I've mentioned this story several times before and I think it
is worth repeating. In my youth, 30 some odd years ago I was much more
active in flying than I am today. 99% of my flying was done off of
hi-starts. One of my all time favorites was a glider called a J J
Thanks for the hi-start stories. I've had my share of inverted drag
races down the field so reading these doesn't make one feel quite so
ridiculous.
Not really in the hi-start category but perhaps the most egregious
modeling mistake was made when first starting out in soaring (~ 1971). I
had
Title: flourescent monokote / ultracoat removal
OK, this was a mess... I'm uncovering a rudder, and the monokote is seperating from its color - eg, the clear layer comes off, but the color is stuck. It's almost impossible to get off with a blade, is there another technique?
My next step
Reading all these high start stories has brought back some fond memories of
my entry into sailplanes.Ok, well...maybe not so fond!!!
After totally destroying my first plane (a GP trainer 40 gas airplane) I
decided to step back and start with a glider. At least that way things
would move a
flourescent monokote / ultracoat removalBrent
Put on some gloves get in a well ventilated area and get out the Acetone.
Use it liberally and you will be able to pull almost all the color. At the
most there will be a light haze left that will not show through the new
covering. Be sure to check
Ahh, the good old days of Hi-start disasters. I had my
share of them when I started out with my trusty GP 2M
spirit, which I still have and will keep for my son to
learn on!
I remember being soo excited when I bought my hi-start and
now had a means to launch my plane without flying up on a
Hey now,
For me the heat gun works best. Heat up the money-cote and peel it
back like you would masking tape. If it's ultra cote this'll work all by
it self, if it's mono on the other hand no matter what, you'll have to do
some sanding. For some odd reason monokote has the colour and
Re: [RCSE] Any experience with "Hobby
Horse"?
I'm glad to hear that people are having good
experiences with Hobby Horse.
Several years ago I was shopping for a JR TX
Module. Since Hobby Horse was a JR dealer, but didn't have the module
listed in their magazine ad, I called on their toll
Guys,
I have found that by taking a new scrap of Ultracote and ironing it over the
area I want to remove the color from that usually the color will stick to the
Ultracote and come right off the wood. The trick is to remove the scrap while
it is still warm and to peel it back over itself when
doug:
It has been some time but if I remember right I solved this by doing the following.
Take a new piece of monokoat and place it over the color splotch left behind. Heat it with an iron until it sticks. Then pull it off. It will take the old color off with it. Do it to a small area at a time.
I spent a little bit of time giving my impressions of the process of getting
monokote off of built up balsa structures to Charlie Waller, who was wanting
to strip the brown metallic monokote off of his Oly II to recover in
transparent.
I thought everyone might be able to relate to parts of
Having checked the 3150 specs on a few sites, some say you can run it at
6.0v
others say only use 4.8v. Has anyone been using 5cell/6.0V pack for these
servos?

Hey guys,
Just want to remind you that I'm still build planes fulltime,
or I should say installing gear and getting them RTF.
Mostly T/D planes, but have done alot of slopers, electric sailplanes,
and some electric pylon racers.
Let me know what you got and I can give you price.
I can send you
Guys. . .excuse my simple inquiry, but with all the frustrations I had with
the 8103, I'm reluctant to take the plunge on the 9303. Nevertheless, I must
do something pronto about a brand new Tx and have no time to read extensive
manuals and fuss with elaborate programming.
Would those of you
Will it be a simple programming matter to operate the two
flaps to full down
on the throttle stick and have elevator compensation?
Yes, very easy, straightforward, and covered in the manual. The manual
includes a step-by-step programming guide for TD planes.

I had one of the worst ever and recently.
We fly in a public park and there is a kiddie playground very near
by.
This weekend I was helping one of our newbies with the highstart, holding
it while he was getting his ship ready, when one of the guys yells out..
Oh my gosh! Look at that mom!
Harley:
1) Yes, super simple to put flaps on the throttle stick with elevator
compensation. Just follow the tutorial step by step. Super simple.
Not sure about trimming flaps with the throttle trim tab. Never
bothered to check as there is a dedicated digital flap trim on the
radio now.
