Well, I tell ya my Mini Cooper S does quite a few of these, some better than
others. The only thing it doesn't do well is haul planes in boxes since that
requires the front seat to be laid down. But take the wings out of the box and
lay them between the seats between foam carriers and you are
For the past two weekends in a row a rather informal group of fliers has
gathered at a local field in Durham, CT. Last weekend we had 8 fliers, this
weekend about 7 (some different faces). This is quite a resurgence in activity
from three years ago when I started and I was lucky to find 2 other
Two bad ones in a row...
Three years ago I was really just getting into sailplanes and had been
appropriately steered toward an EPP glider as my first RC airplane. I had made
a beginners mistake and mounted the on/off switch on the outside of the fuse.
Predictably I launched the plane and it
I find it amazing in this day of cheap electronics that something at this price
point should not include a rather inexpensive USB interface. What'd it cost to
add it once you divide it out by all the units sold - $10? Sheesh - such a
really nice radio. On the same hand, it costs $40 to add this

Approximately $9 per kilometer. Apparently, however, the stuff is not
particularly stretchy so I plan to use it just for sport flying without much
zoom. If it knots up while I am learning to handle a winch on mono, I will
I am new to launching on monofilament and have heard stories of how difficult
it is to learn to avoid rats nests. I am buying the cheap monofilament
mentioned in my earlier post, and while it is cheap enough that I could
probably afford to waste a few kilometers of the stuff learning the hard

I have been thinking about this point for a few days. There is a huge emphasis
on handlaunch, which is even *more* difficult and expensive than many 2M ships.
So the answer cannot be that 2M planes are too difficult to fly, cause we all
know that handlaunch offers really short flights even with

etc. to connect straight to your vac. bag. This is the system I intended to
buy at some point. I hope by the time I am ready, have motivation and the money

Is Nickel-Hydrogen the same thing as Nickel-Metal Hydride? Or are we talking some
other kind of battery? This looks really cool! I have been bemoaning the fact I
bought into NiMH one year too early and didn't wait for LiPoly. Now I may not have to
