RE: [RCSE] JR Aerotow

Hot dogging is fine if... both pilots agree ahead of time to "perform", and they are capable experienced pilots. The down side is, or may be, that there is a chance that you might intimidate or scare off a new guy to aerotow, who only walks up and see's a 46% Ultimate go vertical with a 2 meter i

Actually, it's very specifically claimed on how the wing is constructed out of air filled tubes, which is probably how they were awarded the patent. At 07:32 PM 5/31/2005, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Chuck Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Right out of Tom Swift. I was thinking Leonardo da

Who care's if it's scale It is more fun having the tow plane do roll's one way while you do opposite roll's and It's even more fun doing an inverted aero tow with the glider and the tug anyway ...( If you ask Johnny real nice he will let you do just that) Really, if you hang the glider be

RE: [RCSE] F3J in the Rockies Results (Revised)

Due to an unfortunate sorting problem, probably induced by adding a column in the scoresheet to add in the preliminary scores, the actual order of the standings was incorrect at the pilot's meeting. While the scores were correct, they were in the wrong order in the final sheet resulting in the inc

[RCSE] Ultra-Hots as Tug?

Hi All, I want to build a tug this year but also want a plane that I can have some fun with when not towing. I had an Ultra Hots in the past and really enjoyed it. Would one with a large engine be a suitable tug? Would the Big Hots be better? Any infor greatly appreciated. Happy flying,

Re: [RCSE] JR Aerotow

Ok, First up, to be in the air in a hurry is best for safety, second if you have 10 pilots in line to go, who cares for a scale tow or descent. Get them up! And being scale? Is a 2meter Fox behind a 130in towplane "scale"? Not, but is is tons of fun. Peter" --- Begin Message --- Hi all, W

Re: [RCSE] JR Aerotow

Vertical tow doesn't put anywhere near the stress on a plane that a winch launch does.    Why try and pretend that a toy plane is the same as full scale anyway? If you want to fly something that looks like a full scale sailplane then go to the full scale airport and take a ride. Scale...sheesh.
