Was this contest formerly the Dr. Pepper Classic? Years ago I attended
this a few times and have fond memories of the experience. Other members of
our club at the time (ISS, Riverside) made the trek up to Fresno and had fun
all weekend.

John, part of the reason you may be experiencing this is that the lucky
ones are the one you are meant to fly. I like the Falcon and have one now
but all of them in the past have been exactly the sameI can't explain
that. I know people who fly the latest and greatest models and seem to fall
Manfred has done his airshow act here in Medford, Oregon several times. I
talked with him for about half an hour and determined he is certifiable.
Usually the end of his beautiful aerobatic routine is topped off with an
inverted ribbon cut about 25 feet off the ground and then he pulls the nose
up
I have a new one and it measures 40.5 from the case..

I need to add a new antenna to my Hitec 555. Broke the old one ages ago
Try to look up Don Westegren. He built a four-stroke powered one in the
eighties. It flew very well and appeared in many magazines. Someone with
his experience could answer allot of questions.
Sounds like an interesting project..
I have a Wattage Super Cobalt 400 and a 50 amp ESC, If you can use
I have an un-used RCD3200 8 channel receiver for sale. It is made to be used
with Futaba transmitters. The factory part number is FM/HFD-08RD This was a
$50.00 receiver and I'm selling it for $40.00 including shipping. It is
similar to the one at this link.
Mark, you can use any frequency between and including those numbers.

into a three year afair. I like scratch building because I don't care for

I make my own horns from carbon laminate. Use slow CA glue to laminate as
many layers that you need.
Glass laminate will take out your jigsaw blade in one minute. Carbon
laminate will not kill your saw that fast.
A laminated carbon horn will also outlast your sailplane. .

I have seen recent mumblings about the HT-12,13,and 14 stab airfoils. In one
article, someone stated that the HT-14 could be used on larger sailplanes.
I would like to know if this means larger handlaunch or 100 sailplanes?
Would this airfoil work in the RE of a Cross Country ship?

All you have to do is consult the expert in your own club. Starting from
left to right, JR is up,down,down,up,up.
Futaba is down,up,up,down,down.

It had to be staged... It looks like a composite photo. Also, in order for
that plane to fly in that attitude in the crow mode it would have to be
flying at 40 MPH. If the plane was coming in nose high, i would believe

Jeff, do it the simple way.. When you wax the outside of your Mylars, use
carnauba car wax and apply it generously. Let it hase but do not buff it
off. Any resin that creeps onto the mylars will come right off. Wax and buff
three times on the inside though. Clean the Mylars off with lacquer

Mikey, If the sun shines in your part of the world, lay the mylar in the
driveway or car hood. Be sure to lay it on some paper to prevent scratching
or better yet, some black plastic tarp would work well. After I bag a wing,
the mylars are usually flat and stay that way because I hang them on the
Mike, I have been making fiberglass parts for about 15 years and still the
best way is to paint after the part is made. Tinting the epoxy gives a
semi-opaque finish and sometimes weakens the epoxy. If painting the mold
prior to lay-up, the mold needs to be perfect. Any imperfection on the mold

Garth, I have a few answers for you. First of all, use carnauba wax on
your
mylars. I use Eagle One paste wax and have never had
Marc. I use an electric blanket when bagging wings in the cold northwest.
After the final suck-down, Place the lower "beds" on the blanket. Position
the bagged cores on top of beds and carefully fold the E-blanket over the
top of the wing. I have never had a warped wing by using this method.
