I bought a few sets from Dieter before he got out of selling hi perf

Charles, I made a mistake in my post about the Wind Dancer speed control. I
said it was a Phx 10 but its a Phx 25. A 10 could not take the load. Give

Charles, I have a wind dancer and for a brief period of time I had a S400 on

The only vario I used required you to drill a hole in a 1/8 inch dowel and
then split it lengthwise and install two matched thermistors just touching
each other in the split airway. Then you glued the dowel back together,
hooked one end of the dowel to an air reservoir, and wired the two thermistor

LoPo's in my PoleCat Wind Dancer. Want to upgrade the motor to a
brushless system. I do not fly it in competion - it's a fun flier for
me. I just want more scoot to get to altitude. What has worked
for you?
Are there any web sites that describe the physics of an F3J type launch?
Specifically, the climb speeds, zoom speeds, tension in the line,
g forces, ...
I'd also be curious as to how much tension there is in the line from
a F3B winch.

Daryl doesn't remember thermal sensors cause he's too young. But I never
thought "listening for lift" made a lot of sense, anyway, and have seen
guys flub around in otherwise good air cause they were listening rather
than watching.
I still have one of the old units designed by Walt Good, w

I just bought the new Eagle unit. My reasoning is that it is a learning tool. I fly alone because there are not many thermal guys in Northern Ohio (we lost our field). I liked the GPS for finding lost airplanes. It can give me some downloadable data inputs. (by the way the earplug should go in th
