[RCSE] Happy Slope Hog Day

2000-02-11 Thread Sloperbill
Yes, we have been braving the elements here on Lake Erie too. Gale warnings with a SW wind make for good sloping. But when the temperature is below freezing the sticky on the hinge tape isn't (sticky). Think I'll try pinned hinges. Bill RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

[RCSE] flying with my thumbs

2000-01-24 Thread Sloperbill
Some time ago I was told to stop thumbing the stick. I was able to learn to hold it between thumb and forefinger. It feels more "natural" that way. Bill ;-) RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[RCSE] Re: Charging jack

2000-01-01 Thread Sloperbill
Just a word of caution. The scheme of using the Radio Shack audio jack to charge your battery is very attractive. But these jacks are not meant for that kind of service and can easily fail. With NiCad batteries this means FIRE! Foam does not burn but it does melt while your wiring is burning.
