Are you sure it's burned out? My experience with Rxs is that a little water can tarnish one or more of the posts. I took off the lid and sprayed electronic...
Not quite as on track as I should have been. Forgot about the dropout voltage, the difference between the input and output voltage. 7805's have a 2.0V...
Kraig, You other suggestion was to use a LM317 or LM317T which the user could set for an intermediate voltage of say 4.5 volts. Many servos are peak rated at...

Neat and clean keel sealing. If you have trouble with your keel leaking, here's a fix that is guaranteed to stop the leak. First the theory: If the keel is...
Hi Fred Ive been told by a HS physics teacher that lithium batteries can EXPLODE when they get wet. He strongly advised not to use them in boats. Rich Richard...
Is there a particular glue that is better for construction of the Soling? My kit is in the mail and i want to get it ready before the end of april. [Non-text...
Ice is melting now, so I'm getting my Soling ready for the coming season. Some discussion (like George's 1/64 inch cunningham problem) has led me to make sure...

Bill, Tensioning the main via an uphaul instead of a downhaul makes sense to me for the convenience factor. Why get on your knees in wet grass when you can do...
Thanks, John. I've always interpreted rule 5.0 that way, too. And it seems clear that an uphaul vs. a downhaul has no impact on performance....just on my...
Bill, 5.0 allows the use of turnbuckles. They are specifically mentioned along with bowsies. Near as I can see, there are no turnbuckles shown on the plans...
It appears we agree, John. The literal interpretation sometimes seems to go against the use of common sense. But then again, I seem to find good sense in my...
Wouldn't it just be easier to put the thin layer of silicone around the top of the keel? Seems to me it would save all the trouble of the masking tape...
there are different types of and different manufacturing techniques for Lithium batteries. Some Lithium batteries are safer then others. I would check with the...
Hi Bill, Nice to see one of the other bears has woken up and is stirring. I've used both the uphaul and downhaul and found the uphaul much more convienent to...
Sure, it would be easier to do without the masking process. But it would be a mess. Silicone seal has a nasty habit of smearing when you clean up the excess....

David A, Writing rules and regulations is a tough business. It's like a working with a gaggle of geese. Lots of noise and very little agreement. Take the...
Size and shape of the foil ground plane is not critical. The larger area, the better. For an easy disconnect, just solder a bannana plug on the foil ground...
I think it is important to have a good set of rules, clear unambiguous rules. However nothing will take the place of a sense of good sportsmanship and fair...
