When they tried it with full scale they had problems with the empennage
getting tangled in the baloon tether line.

I did an alert on the RCSE about the Sircam virus which I've now received no
less than 19 times at work - twice in Spanish. Before I did the post, I
cheked out the virus warning at Carnegie Mellon (www.cert.org) and Symantec
(www.symantec.com) . Nothing wrong with virus warnings, it's

Birds are not brilliant, but they do what they do very well. Clearly the lift
was better than you think and the bad effects of jet exhaust not as
detrimental - or at least the Ospreys didn't think so!

OK, I'll step in iter - give an opinion that is.
The text in the NSP ad sounds very like NSP's copy. I read some other copy
and it has a similar cadence and vocabulary.
Pictures are the same. Who took them? Is it possible that's a photo pack
from the manufacturer?

When I was stationed in France in the late 50's, I accumulated 10 hours in
gliders. They wouldn't let me solo because the glider field was in the
approach path of my USAF base and they figured if I wiped myself out, they'd
be shut down. I loved the flying and vowed to take up sailplane
To begin, if the AMA advertised that you get a buck or so off if you show a
current AMA card - I missed it, so bring your card. IMS seems to be gone as

Spending lots of money for molded planes is no assurance that they are
absolutely straight, flat or square. In any manufactured item there are
"production tolerances". I have no idea what the tolerances or acceptable
deviations are, or should be, for molded models, but I've certainly never

Incidentally, a lot of questions on the RCSE about "where can I find" can be

It looks like their site is improved. It looks like you can download the

the whole thing I think my computer would die. Maybe one of you brave guys
will download it and tell us how it works.
I responded to an ad on the RCSE from Ziegelmeyer Enterprises for an F3J

I agree with the guys who visited the site, it's really interesting. Mamma
mia, what a big first page! The photos of the mountains are stunning and
there's a lot of interesting technical stuff as well. Somehow I think you'd

I haven't gotten an RCSE since Thursday, so I know something's wrong. I
unsubscribed and re-subscribed, sucessfully, I think because the server sent
me messages acknowledging the un- and re-subscribe. I did do it for the
Digest, so maybe that's the problem and the RCSE is operating OK.
How to store Nicads? The references I've read said to store them discharged.
I look forward to other opinions.

I think that Jimmy doesn't need a canopy. The original had a framework. It
was a 1937 - 1938 German high-performance sailplane. Somewhere I have some
history and will look for it tomorrow. In the meantime, take a look at:
