Re: [RCSE] Todi Plans-LONG

To all involved, it was not my intention to create this fiasco. I was not trying to steal anything from Dodgson or Shawn. I simply wanted a set of plans from a designer I greatly admire. Since kits are impossible to come by I was hoping to find the next best thing. While the phrasing of the

I have noticed a few planes out there with jedelsky wings. How well do these perform on small sailplanes or electrics? It seems like a super simple way to build a plane fast. Kristopher RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to

Would Dave not benefit from videos bought from RadioCarbon Art? Surely he gets at least part of the revenue? RCA allows purchase with credit card, which would be easier for some people. Kristopher - Original Message - From: Cliff Lindgren To: Jim Miller Cc: [EMAIL

[RCSE] Milan Review in QFI

2001-02-02 Thread Kristopher Harig
I noticed in several recent issues of QFI it says there is going to be a review of the MPX Milan in the next issue. I don't recall ever seeing a review in QFI. Did I miss and issue or did the review just disappear? Conspiracy? Kristopher RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Honestly, if the rest of the highstart is as good as the rubber it will be worth the price. Consider what a winch costs. Their higstarts are as close to a winch as any highstart will ever be. You probably can assemble a highstart from their rubber cheaper than you can buy one. Of course, it

Does anyone out there have any suggestions for tripping the Quabeck 3/10 airfoil? I have a Wil Byers designed Core One. It has a rather nasty tip stall (highly tapered wing) and I was wondering if there would be much improvment by tripping it. Any suggestions where to place the trip? Thanks-

Does anyone have experience with this Wil Byers design? It has a very unique plan form and long T-tail. There were several of them flying on the east coast a few years ago. Does anyone have any suggestions for trimming one out? It sometimes acts "strange" and I wonder if this if just mine or
