Very interesting.
This closely resembles one (of many) techniques used in modern stealth
aircraft like the f-117. Extensive use of angled flat panels to reflect
radar energy anywhere BUT back to the radar site that is looking for it.

Yup.
If possible with your radio, you might want to try less throw on the
elevator and greater throw on the aileron. Most flying wings I have flown
are more sensitive to elevator, some are much more sensitive. If it's a
delta though, like a TwinJet, this may not be beneficial. Experiment.
To cut a given piece of foam with the desired ease, a wire needs to be at a
certain temp. At that temp it has a certain resistance. To get it to that
temp, a voltage must be applied that provides enough current to heat the
wire.
Use a different type of wire and it still needs to be at the
I found some cells fitting that description at a surplus place. They were
new NiMH rectangular, dimensions as you describe.
Unfortunately my experience wasn't good. They were rated at 600mah but I
was never able to get more than 350. Also, the weight was close to a 600
NiCd. I still have

Not all the "slope-deprived drooling fans of slice dice" went to Coyote
today. Some went to the 'Banos BASH where all had a great day.
Wind went from 35 (2pm) to 45 (3pm) to 15 (6:30pm) so most everything was
flyable sometime. Combat was flown with gusto all day, a challenge with all
that
I picked up some Micafilm on a close-out a couple of years ago. Last spring
I used it on a foam combat wing thinking the advertised light weight and
tear resistance would be advantageous, it was an unmitigated disaster.
* More work to apply because of the Balsarite. Especially so since the

Are the Hitec FM transmitters compatible with Futaba stuff? For example,
if I had a Hitec Flash 5 setup, would the Hitec xmitter work with a Futaba
127 receiver?
Yes, even the trainer cords are compatible. I wouldn't put a
Options:
A) Cut all the way through, as Tord suggested. Then remove the plug, cut
off material the size of the hole you need, glue the remainder of the plug
back. Works very well for shallow sections like wing servo or sideways in a
narrow fuse. Can be hard to execute if the material is
This might be a good place to provide some feedback on advice I received on
this topic before Christmas.
I was looking for an inexpensive tx to recommend to a friend for his
grandson's Christmas present for a flying wing. My concern was that my
experience with 3 very different wings all

I use a 17ah sealed lead acid battery for fast charging on-field.
How do I re-charge properly. Is there a battery charger for this type of
battery? At this stage I charge off an ordinary overnight car charger on
a low setting. Is there an

Of course my opinion is that not using a skeg for a task with a precision
landing is "dumb".
It may be dumb if everyone else is using one and you aren't, but if no one
uses one..?
The top pilots will get the top scores no matter what the rules.
If you know the watts, how do you figure the amps?
I know this is very simple "I think" but a friend asked and I told him
I know a place where that would make quite a few people laugh, but they
would know the answer.
Thanks

Watts=Volts x Amps
Therefore:
Amps=Watts/Volts
I bought some bi-directional tape last Saturday at Visalia from the Bag
Lady. I don't know if is the same as you are looking for, or if he ships
it, but you can look into it at http://www.thebagladyal.com/

Hi All
I'm looking for some Scotch Bi-Directional
Will a Hitec crystal work in a Futaba Rx? It works fine in the house, but I
am worried that I might have a problem when the plane is any distance out.
I have used Hitec, FMA, and Futaba crystals interchangeably for years
without a problem. Understand we are talking about post 1991 rules
