Re: [RCSE] About CDs collecting model information

At our Gamblers Gala contest in North West Nevada we just put a space for "plane flown" on the score card and the landing judge would refuse to sign the card if they had not filled it in! Most of the computer scoring programs have or can easily add this space near channel or pilot number?? Th

RE: [RCSE] Got a RES plane you want to sell cheap?

Ed, I have a skybird from Ray Hayes I don't fly much anymore. It has all the servo's and a futaba receiver. It has flaps instead of spoilers which work really well on this airframe. Never been wrecked. The kit is about $300.00 so I would let it go for that. Let me know if you have interest. Buy

[RCSE] Got a RES plane you want to sell cheap?

I have a new club member who has really mastered his parkflyer, an Easy Star. And he is getting pretty good at thermaling it. Now I want to take him to gliders. So he is looking for a RES plane. An AVA would be great but out of his price range. Now, I know you all fly hot shot top of the line

[RCSE] Gordy -- 2024?

2024? You may be expecting to still be able to buck winches until 2024 -- I'm not as confident that I will. In 2024 I'll be 79. Trust me, in 2024 79 will not likely be the new 60. And even it is for most of you, I have massively and irreversibly abused my body in my first 63 years. Even now,

Okay guys, the article is about some day when we are too weak and old to hump winches...fields are gone so no room to string a turn around...those of us who will still want to fly TD contests will have to launch our sailplanes some howthe last thing we will ever want to know about is what woul

With all due respect. Tony did what he could. And how tough is it to have the entrants jot down the name of their ship when they sign in. ?? If they won't for some reason, then all others won't know what they flew. Most folks including Chuck want to brag on their ship. Especially when you have
