[RCSE] Chicago Style wing?

2008-07-26 Thread Lincoln Ross
Just blew up a wing on my Chicago Style. Wondering if anyone has a set of wings for this glider. Particularly if the spoiler bay stops somewhat short of the end of the spar tube instead of extending past it. The wing failed about 2/3 of the way out, at the end of the spoiler bay. Thanks, Linc

The German F3K Open is currently going on *right now* and a good group of handlaunch pilots from the US are over in Munich battling it out. Right now, Oleg Golovidov and Phil Barnes are 6th and 9th after 9 rounds. Heavy hitters Paul Anderson and Louisville's own Bruce Davidson are in 19th and

Sigh...Just me bein' selfish I guess. Not bad-mouthin' 2M, however, 2 days of RES definitely WOULD give ME more flying time . I agree that 2M is challenging based on my observations at the NATs ('cause I don't fly a 2M), but more challenging than F3B??? I don't know 'bout that one... Good-Lift t

Gentlemen, Hmm.. Bad-mouthing two meter is coming close to being the new national pastime. Seriously, after being the CD of the 2 meter event for the past two years, may I offer this observation: It is probably the most challenging event (sorry, F3B or F3J fans) that is currently flown at

There you go again, bad mouthing 2 meter. 2 meter registration is up too you know. :-) Lets do two days for each... six days of flying is even better. Sheldon Smith wrote: Dave, While I'd rather see more RES and less 2M...You're being really harsh Dude!...'cept of course for the beer part!

hi, think I have a solution for you guys on the 2 meter thing. replace the 2 days of 2 meter with 2 days of horse shoes. entrees would probably go up, and the guy with the concession trailer could sell beer. EVERYBODY WINS! :-) wish i could go, you guys have fun. looking forward to hear about i

Not an R/C Soaring topic. but interesting robotics technology. Imagine some of this will overlap into future suspension systems - naturally tires or mini roller treads taking the place of each hoof. I especially like it when the guy kicks the device from the side and it recovers - may help side
