assistant: Thanks!  Do this and I promise not to flame you with my Mustang until
After I drop Del.  But watch closely.  Once you see him hit the silk it will
be time for you to run and hide.
     Well I'm sure SFA is very strong in your neck of the woods while I sit
here in the Former AMA Capitol almost alone.  These old die hard AMA'ers
wouldn't change even if AMA came out and said it was all a sham for the last
50 years.  Heck, AMA could close it's doors and half of them would continue
to send in dues every year.  It's amaizing.  It's like they actually enjoy
the abuse and false hopes.  Then again the vast majority of them are content
with just sitting back and doing their thing.  They don't try to promote the
hobby, they don't get involved, they don't care.  They have a blind
confidence that "Daddy AMA" will protect them from harm.  I suspect that
were the hobby suddenly outlawed they wouldn't skip a beat.  One morning
they'd simply wake up and grab a fishing pole instead of a plane.  Blind,
trusting, fools!

I still scan the messages on both RC echoes everyday but I don't have a lot
new to say so you don't hear much from me. My primary modeling activities
involve projects which have been described here in the past.
I remain very active in the ship and sub end of the hobby. Our informal club
gets together for a sail at least once a week and twice weekly if the weather
allows. As you know, the DALLAS is complete and has sailed several times so
there isn't much more to say about it. My big (60") minesweeper HMCS WINNIPEG
is my most active vessel (because it is easier to transport than the 90"
DALLAS). Recent modeling has involved the adding of scale details to the
ship: a forward gun turret a couple of weeks ago and the addition of a tripod
mast just yesterday. But the RC guts have long since been completed so,
again, not much to report. Actually the WINNIPEG is currently sitting on my
living room coffee table.
I'm afraid I've let my RC flying slide. Logistics problems (place to fly)
coupled with a heavy schedule of RC boating. However, I still have that 1/3
cub on the go and have promised several people that I intend to resume work
on it shortly (framing is 85% complete).

assistant: Roger,
     This is where Super Glue really comes into it's own.  I generally find
the direct approach is most effective with the young upstarts.  Just tell
them that if they don't settle down you'll glue them down.  We had one that
would always lean up against other people's cars.  We told him and told him
this was impolite but he just wouldn't learn.  So one day we treated one car
with super glue and waited.  Sure enough, he leaned against it.  Then we
drove off!  He hasn't leaned against anyones car since.  Come to think of it
he hasn't sat down a whole lot either.

assistant: Hi, Kevin....about the "disrespectful younger set"...
 This is a GOOD suggestion - but instead of glueing them down, how about
 glueing their lips shut ????  But maybe that's not a good thought - then
 they would probably show their disrespect with their hands - just when I
 thought I had reached the point where people would wave to me with their
 whole hand instead of one finger (gr).  Oh well, maybe Doyle and I will
 just have to learn a little more tolerance....just maybe.  TTYL - Roger

Nice 9, there no way you'll even touch me. So dream on...

You should burp every month or so.  I realized that the last three models
that I have spent time on have been boats.  And the whole time mentally
building a blimp, I'm amazed.
Heck 60 inches is peanuts when you consider that a plane gets that size in
both directions:-)

user: You are replying to All about "Foam Sailplane Wings".

Write your reply.

assistant: I've just finished cutting cores for a couple of sailplane
wings. I need to know what type & size spar I need for a
2m wing, and exactly how to join the wings on the Std. Class
wing.
I've constructed plenty of built-up wings, but the spar (or
joiner tube) was always attached to the d-tube spars, which
provide a smooth transition of stress from the joiner spar
or rod to the rest of the wing. I don't plan to use a full
span rigid spar on either wing.
 I need to know:
     A. On the 2M, (wing halves permanantly joined), how long
        should I make the spar, and of what size & type material?
     B. On the Std. Class wing, (two piece), I plan to insert
        a ply "capture box" to hold the joiner tube. It seems
        like the joiner rod & tube wouldn't extend far enough
        spanwise to be a strong enough spar. I plan to reinforce
        the wing with either carbon fiber or fiberglass strands,
        but I'm concerned about stress in the area at the end
        of the tip of the joiner rod. Can any of you share some
        info about this?
BTW, neither plane will be winch launched, and both will be sheeted
with balsa & heat shrink covering.
Thanks,
Bruce

assistant: Hello, Kevin....about the paint-ball guns...
 How did you find this interesting info ???....I guess this technique
 works OK with Del except when the lamp upsets his jigs....I wonder what
 a flying (???) lamp would look like....he would probably put an iron
 cross on it and claim it was a camoflagued "9" ( big gr).
 Some time ago, in some magazine article, I read about a contest event
 wherein a pilot flew by spectators "armed" with the paint ball guns -
 seems they paid a fee to shoot at the flying model and that's how the
 club made their funds - interesting - maybe I'll just show up at the field
 with a gun and just stand by when the "younger, mouthy set" start to fly.
 And....think of the possibilities...we could build a gun into our next
 large-scale bird and go looking for "9s" over Del-land.  TTYL - Roger

assistant: Well Del it's this way,
     You see, I'm such a good pilot that I got bored flying a superior mount
like the Mustang.  When I fly the P-51 there simply is no challenge out
there for me.  I've flamed 109's and 190's like so many bottles on fence
posts with a few 262's and even a 163 thrown in for fun!
     So, to put a challenge back into my life I went to flying aircraft that
were deffinatly not up to the job of WWII combat.  Cub's, Antic's, Spad's
all became my prefered mounts for airiel combat.  And you know what?  I'm
good with them too!  Unfortunatly my poor old Mustang grew Older and so much
more Tired from neglect and sitting on the shelf that I was eventually
forced to retire it for good.  And, until now I had no real reason nor
desire for a new one.  But, thanks to you Del, I am making plans for a new
P-51.  Exactly when I don't yet know as reality (wife, kids, etc) is having
a real say to this one.  But, a new Mustang will be forth coming and I
assure you, you will see nothing but Merlin driven Propeller in your mirror
and your dreams.  Sleep tight and enjoy your mount while you still have it!!
