RE: what is the best/diffrent ways to secure the batteries for the engine??
Seeing as I'm not an expert on storing batteries either, I'd say listen to an expert opinion on that. I just leave mine about 38v and wait til spring [;)] If I had to go retrieve them at the bottom of a cliff I'd never fly, I'm too lazy. BTW- my method is just one of many ways to secure batteries. Maybe not the best, but it's the easiest for me.

I changed one of the 6 that I've had. Both mine at the Worlds were stock, both years.

RE: what is the best/diffrent ways to secure the batteries for the engine??
I've been using Deans since day 1, so ALL my stuff has them on it. I've never had any issues with them (except needing replacement after a few years). As far as performance difference, again, I defer to experts.

2 vel-tye one wrap straps (1 inch), 2 pieces of velcro under the battery and the tray is glued to the formers with additional 3/4 inch triangle under at the former area. Carbon tube at the rear and a balsa 3/8 inch wide support under the front glued from tray to the fuselage bottom. 24 hour epoxy used to glue it all in.

RE: Composite-ARF Integral, kinda build thread
Down pressure to land? Sounds like some of it could be CG on the other one being further back. The mix will be reduced to about nothing in the Shulman one from the set-up.

RE: What's the
I personally think there isn't really a place for 'fast' rolls in pattern. Now 'normal' rolls and slow rolls, ok. I think to start (if you were entering contests or don't have time to practice much) the 2 rolls should be done at a 'normal' roll rate. Basically fast enough to only require blips of elevator and not slow enough to need rudder inputs.

RE: Regulator Voltage
If you plan on running 6V in the future, then maybe you should just get the 6V now. I just swap mine from plane to plane. This one came from my Integral, then to Eon, then to Kaos and now back in the Eon. I'm not sure there is any difference in battery 'life' with the lower voltage regs, so hopefully an expert will chime in.

RE: Engine Mount for YS 140
I remember when Hyde mounts came with 4-40 screws to hold the motor on. Never had one of those fail. 6-32 is overkill but Merle said too many customers were afraid of the 4-40's being too weak.

RE: Canalisers, fins and things, and whirlygigs..
I added the T on the Integral for 1 maneuver. It did require less rudder for rolling stuff, but I only did it for the KE loop. Didn't notice any change in stall turns. [quote]ORIGINAL: serious power Hi, I choose to use those terms as they seemed to fit the best with the expressed benefits of both. However the cann,, guys are claiming improved response around centre,less rudder for rolls etc. I'm flying a Zeque and you just lean on the rud,, stick for rolls and knife edge as is. Brian [/quote]

RE: P-11 Figure M
Yes, power should be added as you start the loop/roll. Maybe it's time for some fins and a T on the old bird. I've only flown P/F with my Eon so it's not the best plane to be doing practice with (yet), but it keeps on trucking. It's more of a power lag issue than anything else.

RE: YS 160 runs too hot in Genesis
On the Valiant I found that I got better cooling by taping off the left (looking at nose) cheek and half of the bottom most opening. Motor ran much cooler. I still think a hole should be made in front of the cylinder.

RE: YS 160 runs too hot in Genesis
On my Angel Shadow I added a hole (2" diameter) in the middle of the bellypan to let air out near the front of the pipe. Also, guys around here were opening the fuselage part in front of the motor on their Genesis.

RE: high wing or shoulder patternship??????
[quote]ORIGINAL: dreadnaut It that dihedral in that wing? I would expect a shoulder wing pattern plane to have an anhedral wing. Am I missing something? I am not an aerodynamisyst, but I would expect that to make a shoulder wing pattern plane you would start by mirroring thrust lines and dihedral around the lateral axis. [/quote] None
