Hi Larry,

There sure is. I keep an event listing of all the events on the scale soaring calendar. You can subscribe to the newsletter and event updates will be sent to you as the are set....

Hi Guys,

Just trying to get My antares sorted for this weekend.

Did anyone find the standard throws for ailerons, flaps and elevator?

I have looked at the information and unless I am missing...

Hi Dave - according to what I understand, they have a current rating of 15amp per pin with a max of 35amp. That said - that was the emcotec ones. The copies that are everywhere now is almost anyone's...

Hi Alex,

I cannot disagree with you there, they are definitely not the most interesting of scale aircraft, but they are starting to gain popularity.

I think one of the reasons is that they are...

As part of the refurb, we repositioned the fuel tank to site over the joiner on the CofG.

One of the things I am now doing as a matter of course on all our tow planes is the reinforcement of the...

Hi Guys,

We have seen some very interesting results from using imac style airframes for towing duties.

Our main inspiration came from the very successful towing opperations of Rod O's carfARF...

Hi Guys,

Interesting to see that. We have had some (kit supplied) robart styled hinges let go as well. We have found that the genuine ones tend to be a little more durable.

Also, as an option,...

Hi Phil,

Sorry, but the old articles are slowly being transferred across to the RCaerotowing site. I have just been a little lax.

In the meantime, I have created a PDF of the old article:...

I just got him to send me a full wood kit for the 1/3 scale Rosenthal ASK13 fuselage which I managed to pick up locally.

He was a...

Hi Guys,

yes - lurking round while I burn the midnight oil... damn clients!

More than happy to share it round. It would be great if the authors and RCAerotowing got a credit, but will leave...

Sure - the Tow point is a bridle release on both sides of the fuse just in front of the canopy frame. The reason we went there was any place aft of the canopy was either too weak, to far back or too...

Hi Harm,

Thanks for the informative history. I was aware that the company had changed hands a few times, but not quite the extent of it.

I have been communicating with companies in Europe for...

Hi guys - just an update

Had a quick response from Hans at Bauer cnc and it seems that they are making the wood bits. I am still trying to work out exactly what they are able to supply (i.e. if...

thanks guys - will follow that up and see where it leads

LOL - i don't require any prompting for the next project... just look in the background... :)

Hi Selleri,

I have had one of these sitting half done for a few months now. I'm trying to see if I can get it finished before Christmas.

I managed to get some covering done and a final setup...

Hi Guys,

Does anyone have any contact details for Rosenthal? (other than those on their website). I have tried contacting them for the past three weeks and have not had any response.

I am...

Guys, I have to say, we have experienced a similar level of service from the DA guys here in Australia.

Must be something in the water the DA boys drink!

LOL - we have been running the DA 120's here since Feb 2011 and we love them. Just such a great combo for towing!

Mucking round last night I added a little vinyl to the airframe.

one needs to amuse onself...

Hi Brian,

The original airframe is quite ok. There is a recess in the fuse that creates a nice rigid and flat mount point for the undercarriage. Internally there are two formers that take the load...

Hi Guys,

Spotted this just now - Place in Texas has these airframes for sale at $995:

Now that's a bargain!

Hi Guys,

Thought i would update on this airframe now we have managed to get some hours on it. (its been a very wet Autumn / Winter here)

We looked for an airframe that had a glass fuse and a...

Nice work boys!

Looks like you all had a ball! Some of the footage shows just what a great turnout you had. Congrats!

Have you seen this for reference?
