Re: [RCSE] Supra ? Who couples flaps to ailerons?: Drela repost

I learned a long time ago that by coupling flaps to ailerons the model would track better. (And yes, every model) My first experience with this was with a slope racer (Swift 800) with a short tail moment, and undersized V-tail. I had trouble getting it to track properly at different ballasted

[RCSE] New Plane Bags: Plane Quiver

[RCSE] Re: Who couples flaps to ailerons?

My understanding is that drag is reduced a bit if some flaps are coupled to ailerons, since it reduces the amount of aileron throw, a bit, and reduces vortexes at the inner edge of the ailerons. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send subscribe and unsubscribe requests to

[RCSE] Kind words, Thoughts and Prayers

Thank every one of you for the kind words thoughts and prayers. I cannot tell all of you how much this means to me. This has been a difficult week for me. You see, I lost my father on Sunday and then Butch on Monday. Every ones emails have helped. I like to think that there never really gone,

[RCSE] Butch Never Would Have Done This

So we were driving home from vacation up at Lake Erie, and the Air Hog fell off the top of the luggage and the dog (actually the auxiliary dog Jamaica, the lobotomized retriever) sat on the Air Hog. Broke off the vertical, bent the heck out of the tail boom, generally warped the entire

[RCSE] Butch the wonder dog

I loved how every time Johnny would show up at the field, he popped open the door to the truck and out would come Butch! He would race around the place barking his fool head off just to let everyone know the he and Johnny had arrived. H- PS He got my hat once!

[RCSE] Re: Legionair 100 Plans

Hey Bernie...why stop at a 100 when I've got an original kit of the 140. Since I'm never going to get around to building it, make me an offer I can't refuse! (We met at the JR aerotow this year.) Regards, Steve Richman -- SteveR

Re: [RCSE] RIP Butch

As I fly this Wednesday morning I'll be thinking of the times Butch laid down beside me after I messed up on a flight at the NATS. Perhaps I blew an easy landing. Butch didn't care how badly I flew. He was always therejust being nice. Johnny, I'll see you next summer in Muncie

[RCSE] Re: US F3B Team Selections

Well, since my post from 2 years ago popped up, I might as well chime in. We as pilots can't thank the support crew enough. Without the dedicated folks who trek to Muncie, we wouldn't have an event. Without their effort, it just doesn't happen. If you have ever had the slightest inclination to

RE: [RCSE] Butch the wonder dog

Heck, the Nat's wasn't "official" until Butchie had lifted his leg and "christened" one of the main tent poles to declare that the Nats were now ready for serious competition, good friends,and good times... I think it was2004, when we dressed Butch in a volunteer's t-shirt and lettered it
