Re: [RCSE] AVA vs Bubble Dancer - Buy vs. Build

Well, I don't know the exact definition of woody, but the Ava's wing and tail surfaces are primarily wood with carbon reinforcement. Unless that d-tube doesn't have any sheeting under it, and I'm not submitting mine for surgery. (hmm.., it's unpleasant but I could dig out those smashed tips and

[RCSE] Hot information is better than a fixed system :-)

The wise guy answer is the Futaba system doesn't need anything like that. Seriously there has been no known problems with the Futaba 2.4 Fasst systems. There WAS a minor issue with the 6014 receiver locking out in extreme temperatures if left in direct sunlight. The case temperature needed

[RCSE] Re: Soaring V1 #11513

Gordy, Futaba may offer a logging device, but it will not be needed with this system to verify the placement of up to four rxs. With the Futaba Rx antenna system only one Rx is needed for excellent performance in sailplanes, even those with extensive carbon structure. Dale Nutter ***

[RCSE] "Has anyone heard if Futa or Airt are going to provide a Flight Log 'r Device?"

Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone heard if they are going to provide a Flight Log type device like the JR DSM system...so that we can be assured of the best possible and safest installations in our planes? With the cost of models going crazy and demand zooming, losing one is becomin

I had to visit the library this morning and re read the JR Challenge page, the case melted at 300 degrees, and the RX still worked fine. I don't believe it so I've got all my JR Rxs on the BBQ cooking right now. Think the plastic will make my steak taste funny? Gordy **Lookin

The AVA is not a woody, so the Bubble Dancer (Mike L won the RES NATS with his) is the best choice if you want to compete in woody events. T - Original Message - From: "Ed Anderson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: ; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2008 7:34 AM Subject: [RCSE] A

[RCSE] AVA vs Bubble Dancer - Buy vs. Build

Lincoln, Build vs. buy; is it just an economic question? As we all know, the AVA is almost an exact copy of Mark Drela's Bubble Dancer. It is a little bigger and a little heavier, but other than that, we can consider it the Bubble Dancer ARF. But is it a good value, or is it a high priced packa
