RE: I want to start a p***ing match...
Gents: Thanks for your the illumination of the facts. I'm glad the competition has been more "balanced" than I thought. I guess I need to back off on some of that medication. Jim[:D]

I want to start a p***ing match...
Gosh, are the French that much better at pattern? It seems as if the f3a competition is in Europe, Americans don't stand a chance. I don't know much about international pattern events, but it looks as if the fix is in. I'd just checked on the results of the competition in Portugal. thx. Jim PS: Slap me around a little; throw cold water on my face. I may have taking too much of my medication.[:)]

RE: jr 6102 problem
[quote]ORIGINAL: alan0899 G'day Mate, Did you read page 30 of your manual, model selection? It is all explained. [/quote] Allan: Been there; done that. It still won't make the change to helicopters. I won't say the transmitter is faulty; that remains to be seen. My best guess is that the instructions are slightly faulty or lack details. I've even followed p.54, which replicates p.30...almost. G'Day to you. Jim

[quote]ORIGINAL: alan0899 G'day Mate, Read the manual. You must hold the down & the button below it, on the left bottom of the case, & switch the TX on, as per the manual.

....which transmitters other than the Hitec Eclipse have "conditional" programming. It is programming that allows the pilot to program for special conditions or circumstances of flight. On the Eclipse, conditional programming allows the pilot to program "individual sets of trims, dual-rate settings, and exponential values". thx Jim

RE: using video gallery
Marc: It certainly may be a system problem on my computer. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. So I just thought I'd ask. The video gallery I'm referring to is in regards to the planes you and your associates have evaluated. It's any videos that are for Windows Media Player (wmv). I have WMP 11. I have reinstalled it several times to no avail. I guess when I get Windows Vista and have to start over the problem gets fixed. thx Jim

I have windows media player 11 with windows xp, but I cannot view videos from the your video gallery. When I click on a specific windows media player video, I get the windows media player screen as if something were happening towards the showing of the video, but then the "system" stalls at that screen. I have to go to "control, alt, delete" to clear the lack of progress and get control of the computer again. Any suggestions? thx Jim

RE: question about wing loading
Al: That funny, huh? If all that is true...and apparently it is...it would seem to that the smaller planes would be much more able in terms of the quality of 3D maneuvers, especially in a situation with no wind. It would also suggest that larger 3D planes cannot be proportional to the smaller ones. Then again I don't know much about aeronautics. thx Jim

question about wing loading
In terms of 3D flight, I'm getting that the wing load (oz/sq.ft.) is an extremely significant factor. Less seems to be better. Yet the wing load of the larger 3D planes seems to be relatively greater when compared to the wing load of the smaller 3D planes. How come? thx Jim
