[quote]ORIGINAL: drdoom It is a big project! I like that blue 310 scheme. Your ahead of Me my plans are still hanging on the back room wall at work??? [/quote] Hey DD, thanks for chimin' in. Do you have any experience with the hydraulic gear on your jets? takes up my whole shop area in the basement, and i'm kinda gettin tired of dodging it. Time to finish it and get her airborne, then in the hanger (garage). Ted

I feel like we're playing stump the chump.[:D] I'm thinking North American XB-70 Valkyrie? [quote]ORIGINAL: Ernie P. [quote]ORIGINAL: a65l Quite allright. ''Dinah with the fine Linah'' was one of the menonics for the airplane used by allied fliers, I kind of thought that the clue about the lines would give it away. One of a few aircraft that can claim to have served throughout the entire war. You're up Ernie... [/quote] Thank you, Sir. A good question about a very fast plane. Since I will be out until late this evening, why don't we start with a few extra clues? Thanks; Ernie P. This is the story of a new twist on an old type of aircraft. It was ultimately deemed unnecessary; but early on it looked like a good way to solve a problem that might have been very difficult. In the end, other ways were found to solve the problem. But, in the beginning, who knew how things would work out? Question: Clues: (1) It never entered true production, but a number of production aircraft were ordered even before the prototype had flown. [color=#FF0000]ICBM's and SAMS evolved.[/color] (2) It was intended to be a means of solving a problem encountered early in the jet age. [color=#FF0000]Deep penetration[/color] (3) In the end, it was not needed. Other means were discovered to solve the problem.[color=#FF0000]see #1[/color] (4) But it was the fastest of its type ever built.[color=#FF0000] mach 3+[/color] [/quote]

Vought F7U Cutlass [quote]ORIGINAL: Ernie P. And a (early) late night clue. (My lovely bride says we have plans) Thanks; Ernie P. Question: What warbird do I describe? Clues: (1) An unusual, and not very successful design. [color=#FF0000](kinda looks like my parkzone stryker!)[/color] (2) It was claimed, though a claim often refuted, not to be based on captured plans and data. [color=#FF0000](Erado out of post war Germany?)[/color](3) It’s ostensible designer had also designed a famous “first� aircraft. [color=#FF0000](Rex Beisel designed the TS 1 for the navy in 1922 while at Curtiss 1st design specific for navy)[/color] (4) It was also the designers last aircraft. (5) It was a radical departure from traditional design. [color=#FF0000](no traditional elevator, used elevons)[/color] (6) Its service life was short. (7) Yet more than 25% of the aircraft built were destroyed in accidents. (8) It suffered from underpowered, and unreliable, engines. [/quote]

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9270732/anchors_9461692/mpage_5/key_/anchor/tm.htm#9461692 The newer jackscrew designs (like lado and Tomapowa's) replace the air cylinder with an electric actuator. Check out the thread. I think once the design is perfected, air will be obsolete. I like the scale retraction speeds.

RE: Baby on the way...
CONGRATS to all the new RC fathers!!!!!!!!! I was blessed with a new co-pilot 18 months ago. Airplanes in a holding pattern for the first year or so - no big deal, spent every spare second with the little one with no regrets. Children are the spice of life, everything else comes second. Wait till they're old enough for the toy airplanes - watching my son go 'vroom vroom' flying his little plastic airplanes around, is inspiring. I was smart, put a few kits (complete with running gear) away early on, when cash wasnt so tight. Glad I did, I got enough planes and parts to keep me going for along time, without spending a dime now. My advise - soak up every second with the little ones. I blinked and almost two years flew by. I wont set foot in my shop till junior is sleeping. I have a feeling I'm going to keep it that way for a long time.

RE: Electric Retracts - Modifying existing Air/Servo-operated Retracts
[sm=thumbup.gif]Great job, I'd love to use this in my TF Staggerwing, the retract frame & housing is similar to your zeros. I know I can 'DIY' it on the actuator mechanics, but the electronics will be a problem. Any chance you might eventually sell a controller set up as a ready to plug in unit? (for us [sm=drowning.gif]electronically challenged) Your website is great! - many cool projects- everybody here should do themselves a favor and check it out! Ted

RE: JR Matchbox
fizzwater, thanks. Rather than re-invent the wheel, I think Im going to caniballize a standard servo, replacing the rotary pot with the slider. Is the amp/controller comparing resistance or voltage on these hobby servos? I've found a plethora of linear taper 5k slide pots out there, but in the 100 mm range is few and far between. I found one that might fit the bill, but no spec on the construction. If its wire wound no problem, 'grainy' flap deployment wont bother me too much. I'm more worried about resolution issues as we just spread it over 100 mm rather than 60 degrees.(hence my matchbox questions) If all else fails, I could go with micro limit switches, but a 3 position circuit might prove challenging for me - any ideas?

JR Matchbox
How does the matchbox actually work? Does it just change each servos endpoints and centers to match desired motion, in an attempt to match actual motion at the controll surface, because of servo potentiometer tolerence? Does it detect load for each servo and adjust? I'm working on a custom Flap (linear actuation) servo for my 27% Cessna 310R and worried that a 20% to 30% potentiometer tolerence of a slide pot (90 mm long, in the feedback system) might cause asymetrical motion (when ganged for each of 4 flaps) And hope that a matchbox(s) would aleviate this condition. Thanks, Ted
