Mike, The electric soaring guys do this kind of thing on a monthly basis (X5J)- Bob Burson set it up several years ago and it seems to go well world-wide. He manages this on RC Groups so if you want to look over his techniques, take a look- http://www.rcgroups.com/electric-sailplanes. I am only

I went out to the sugar cane field yesterday for my first flights on my new 9303 2.4 JR in my Sharon. It was fantastic conditions with little wind, puffy clouds, and 70 degrees. Since I usually fly alone, I had my wife help do a range test before I left home. So, at the field, I put it together,

It was absolutely beautiful at the Poway Flying Site today. Temperature about 75, wind about 5 mph and a new thermal about every 8 - 10 minutes. A pair of Red Tailed Hawks shared the sky with us, frequently pointing out the thermals that we may not have found. It is the hawk's matting

Its a very smart and simple device actually. Those of you who have Picolarios know that voltages can fluctuate significantly in full house sailplanes, this cap keeps things on the straight and narrow. Pretty cheap assurance actually ;-) Gordy

[RCSE] Supra Flap Link Insert Changed

Today was the last day for top actuated flaps. Lots of glue, fiberglass tape and words did not fix the problem so tonight they will be converted to bottom horns and linkage. After two years of landing with the flaps down, the mounts seem to unrepairable. If I had DP's thumbs, I could get

For what it's worth, here is a link to a series of posts on a Supra 2.4 GHz radio install I did without the 2.4 friendly fuselage. I used a Spektrum system and hacked the main receiver to remove the remote receivers that are included inside. This allowed me to place 3 remote receivers in both

Does anyone have a broken Supra stab or rudder to spare? I have a friend that has a laser cutting table that I know would be a great way to get really clean lightening holes cut, but I need some test victims to try out to set up the machine with. If successful, I'm sure I can get holes cut for
