Write your reply.

assistant: Hi there.
        Can anyone help with this:
        In the March/April 1995 edition of Electric Flight Magazine I
was
looking through I came across a Horton type wing that used a
"Guppymotor" which
consisted of a speed 400 motor with a 1:6 "epicyclic" gearbox.
        What is an "epicyclic" gearbox?
        How does it work?
        Where might I get one?

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi Neil!
-
        You asked if I have cut foam wings before. Yes, I have. I
successfully cut a wing for my glider, but it came out not so smooth,
sorta bumpy. I used a car battery charger 12volts 6amps on a 4foot wire
bow. I think it's not enough power or something. I want to know what I'm
doing wrong? That's why I asked if anyone knew if there were any issues
of RCM that had text on the subject. I just want to cut perfectly smooth
wings so I can continue with my project, wich is to make good but very
cheap gliders. My wife got me a buddy box for christmas, so guess what
I'm going to do? I'll give you a hint, I'm trying to push electric
gliding, not enough of it around here as far as I'm concerned. I know of
some kids who would love to buy one at a hobby shop but can't afford it.
I think someone should make them available to kids that can't afford to
buy even the cheaper ones made out of wood.
Anyway, ran oout of time. Later.

        Just wanted to say I got your package :))) Thanks!
I'm off to read it again now.
See ya later.
P.S. What magazine was it from? What date and issue? The writer left his
address, which is great because I'm thinking of actually writing to him
and
asking if he thinks there is a way of adding a brake to the switch. Very
important, since my big prop spins after the motor is stopped, slowing
it down
alot. I already read through it fast and WOW the amps it can handle is
just
fantastic! Theoretically the switch can handle 250 amps! I'm getting too
excited here! I just need to figure out how I can add a brake to it an
I'm in
heaven.
Many Many Thanks.

I have already written to the man, Fenton?  I think that was his name. Anyway
he sold the rights to some small company who inturn sold it again. He didn't
want anything to do with the thing and basically said phone them.
I didn't of course i just built a proto and and had the boards cut.  I
haven't got back to it yet.  You could poessibly build in a break by adding a
relay.  Did ya know that when the prop is free wheelin it generates
electricity.  You could even possibly use that as breaking material.
Let me know how you make out and If I get mine done and installed first (ha
ha ha ha) then I'll let you know.
Do you know Josh Goodfriend?
Sheeit, I almost forgot.  It was the october 91 issue page 188.  I was going
to guess and then thought I would look in the stacks:-)  I picked the one
with the most ragged edge and sure enough that was it.  If you have access to
a pile of old issues there was another switch a month or two later but I
thought this one was the better of the two.

assistant: Hello again, Captain D...
 Hey, guy, you gotta get your priorities set...I did several years ago...I
 retired early 'cause my "work stuff" kept getting in the way of my "good
 leisure stuff"...so I told the boss to take my job and give it to someone
 else...so there !!!  (Actually, my computer application jobs were running
 out (completed OK), I reached early retirement age, the company offered
 a "deal I couldn't refuse", my retirement nestegg was in good shape, and
 I couldn't see myself doing mundane chores after the exciting, challenging
 days - really weeks and years - of making computers do interesting things).
 I wish I had gotten into computer applications, including programming,
 years before I did, finally, at age 50 - my work involved setup and
 programming of industrial computers (DEC's VAX system and Honeywell's
 DCS systems) in synthetic polymer work - most programming was in FORTRAN
 with just a little in Pascal, never got into C but wish I had.  That's
 the most enjoyable work I ever did - I envy you guys that are deep into
 it - I miss it - actually, that's the only stuff I miss about the job.
 Anyway, it's good to see you on the echo again - tell us about your
 latest flying creation.  TTYL - Roger

       I'll cut them cheap. Just tell me what you want and what you'd like
 to pay for them.
              You pay the shipping&handling.
       Describe them or send me a wing rib, measurements etc.
       Foil blends are *not* a problem, like an Eppler type foil to SD7037
etc.
I have some already made: An eight foot white-foam wing core, with a thinned
Eppler type foil (a little undercamber) at the centre of the two 4foot panels
blending towards a thinned SD7037 type foil at the tips. 9 inches from
eading
edge to trailing edge at the centre, tapering to 7inches at the SD7037 wing
tips. I use them on my electric glider and it flies great! Can also be cut in
blue foam (even stronger!) Just add the spars leading/trailing edges, and
cover with balsa or any of your favourite sheeting/film etc, and go!
