RE: the use of telemetry and artificial flight stabilization in pattern
 

I agree, nothing a big 42V, 100A switching regulator fed by the flight batteries couldn't sort out. A step-up type would be able to provide the maximum legal voltage from beginning of flight to end. IC guy's have been running presurised fuel systems for 25 years, this "gravity feed" of electricity from a battery needs to take a step forward..

Hah, I'm a moron ;) Now I remember my old man used to run a perry pump on his Kraft back in the early 70's. 25 years??, I must have been half asleep when I wrote that..

Keith,
Most of us have used the red hand if not strong enough to ignore directly.

Chris,

I read you started RC Pattern in 2008 so I wonder the reason of you to write these kind of posts!

When writing about regulations it is important to know the facts, even these aren't key facts. For example to formulate a point of view.
So, pressurized fuel systems are commercial available and already used by (world wide!) well know pilots of radio controlled pattern airplanes more than 50 years ago.
Keep in mind, for about 40 years I do research for these and other systems, so I always was interested in availability of most other systems too I. RC Pattern flying started for me also more than 40 years ago!

He doesn't bother me.

Hey Silent,

Tell us more about GPS (brand/make/model) and how you use it to discover your flight path. I just saw a product from "RC Logger that has lots of reference functions and "flight playback" with their software. Seems like a great learning tool.

Thanks,

Bill

EagleTree sells datalogger / GPS / Altimeters that you can download your 3D flight path into Google Maps to review your flight.

The Jeti DC-16 radio and GPS sensor make it really easy with their PC software to view your flight, including the GPS track. Quite cool.

I heard that in Texas they use two guys with shotguns at each turnaround pole.

One is at 175 meters, and the other at 125 meters.

Hmmm new use for an asault weapon
