Last I checked, Real Player was free. They even have binaries ported to Linux. And I don't mean to offend, but Real Player is considered mainstream. It even predates Windows Media Player. -Original Message- From: d. o. darnell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 26,

I am not sure what you are asking. But if you are concerned that a ham on your channel elsewhere in the country can cause interference, I don't think you have anything to worry about. You just need to be concerned about what channels people are on at your flying site. Yes, DX communications are

How hard are you throwing it when you launch? Your description sounds very much like what was happening to me when I first started flying my homebuilt Spirit. It was stalling on the hi-start, and a strong throw was all that it took to get a good climb. The other thing is to be sure you are not

Could you tell me what kind of pine trees, and where they grow? I was flying on the Pacific coast so the nearest trees upwind were several thousand miles away. I would be surprised if enough tree pollen could be picked up by the wind to make it across the Pacific in such density. Under a

I believe that hams the government are the only authorized users of the 50-54 MHz band, and most hams will stick to the voluntary bandplans so I think you are pretty safe if you are on those bands. On another subject, something that will hopefully help eliminate getting shot down, does anybody

No problem at all. The ring is attached to the top center of a round parachute. The strings coming from the end of the parachute are tied together and to the end of the string not tied to the rubber. The tension in the line will hold the parachute pretty much closed. When the plane comes off the

I guess a small clarification would be appropriate here. The airspeed indicator doesn't show how fast your are going - it only shows something called indicated airspeed. The indicated airspeed (IAS) varies with altitude, barometric pressure, and temperature. Other factors, such as angle of
