Subject: RDS pockets, wiring harnesses
Of late, I've been making RDS pockets out of carbon sheet I laid up out of
5.7 oz. bidrectional CF cloth. 4 layers results in a sheet measuring .038"
thick. I just roll them with bagging epoxy over waxed window glass to get
one smooth side but vacuum bagging the assembly between mylar sheets would
be even better. I cut strips 1/2" wide on my little table saw and then
into pieces of uniform length. The edges are ten sanded smooth. I'm using
3/32" bass sheet from Lone Star Models as spacing material. File 6 at
http://genie.rchomepage.com/ details how to quickly assemble the parts and
how to use a bench vise to get the perfect "slightly snug" fit to the
shaft being used.
In the absence of getting any response from Hoopes regarding a harness for
my big Genie #29, I again used a 2-part 6 pin Deans connector. I have just
revised my document on wiring up the Deans and on request would be happy
to e-mail a PDF version. The document also details the Hoopes Harness
worked out between me and Tom to use for the Genie line of sailplanes.
