RE: Confirmation on charging lead/acid gel cell

Bill, you're not hurting your battery with the wall charger if it's amperage output is somewhere on the order of C/10 (.1 times the battery's rated capacity in mAh). I've been using a 500 or 600mAh...

RE: BEST GLUE FOR CANOPIES?

Pantherman, have you done a search on this site using the words "canopy" and "glue"? If you do, I think you'll find a lot of stuff to read.

RE: What's that math about propeller disks again?

Another consideration is that AT THE SAME RPM, a 12" prop's tips are travelling 20% faster than the tips of a 10" prop (I think it's a direct proportion). Having 33% less pitch (4 vs 6) reduces...

RE: Running out of fuel on down lines.

Gotta go with downunder and Bax on this one. At idle on a downline the airplane is being influenced by drag, but the fuel in the tank isn't. Even on a powered dive I'm pretty sure the fuel...

RE: Gel Cell Charging?? Quick Question
