Aft'noon Chaps, Just purchased this recently - a few times now I've sent print jobs which it will start, but stop after a few moments - wasting ink/paper etc. Why would it do this, d'ya know? REALLY getting on me nerves!!

It pauses to do print head cleaning half way through a print job? or do you mean it only prints half the page and then ejects it?

HiYa Lotvic, no - prints only part of a page then ejects. Been onto Canon support, they suggested the printer was too far from router (next room, about 16 feet as the 'crow flies'.
Just bought it to within 6 feet of router... works perfectly. HOW ANNOYING is that? lol. Looks like I'll need to re-site it in the LOUNGE then... not the best of places...
Many thanks for your time,

Particularly with all those crows flying about.lol.
Can you not just run an Ethernet cable to it, I assume you are wireless printing which is causing the problems.

The Delhi Government had announced as early as July this year that a total of 73.5 lakh people of 1.68 crore will benefit from the food security scheme.
However, Anjali Bharadwaj of Satark Nagrik Sangathan pointed out that earlier 90 lakh people were covered under the Public Distribution System and now the figure has reduced by almost 20 lakh. "The Delhi Government is essentially saying that it not really a reduction in numbers but there are a substantial number of bogus ration cards," she said.
When asked about this, Food and Civil Supplies Secretary S.S.Yadav told The Hindu that the figure is merely a ceiling set by the Union Government on how many people will be covered by the Centre. "Beyond this, the State Government will take a call on how many people to bring under the purview of the scheme. This will depend on the number of people who are deemed eligible under the scheme. This figure can increase depending on the eligible persons," he said.

I was surprised - wood quality is very, very nice. Fits together well (took me 90 to assemble, but good instructions) . Sturdy,roomy, looks great. Great value for the price! My only wish is that they would supply plugs for the screw holes.
Absolutely love it. Thanks to this cabinet, the bathroom is by far the only room in my house that's really complete. This is fabulous for small spaces like mine, but I think every bathroom can benefit from something like this. As long as you have a toilet, you have room for this kind of cabinet/shelving. It's not possible to install regular shelves above my toilet because the mirror extends along the whole wall (the previous owners just had a really awkward medicine cabinet on the opposite wall. They were constantly banging their heads on its corner). This is an excellent storage solution and it's actually quite handsome. Feels tropical. I suck at assembly, but this was simple, fast, and I didn't even injure myself (a remarkable acheivement). This is very sturdy, and I don't even have it screwed into the wall. It does come with supplies for wall mounting, but remember that it won't do you any good if you have a baseboard. Because the legs have to be so tall in order for it to fit over the toilet, be forewarned that there will always be a bit of a wobble to it--but that's true of every single piece like this. It's been successfully minimized here because of the choice of material.
This Bamboo Space Saver is beautifully designed yet it is poorly made... I ordered this space saver and the first one was broken straight out of the box... Overstock sent me a second one and it was broken as well... So I never even got a chance to actually see it assembled... That's why I graded it so poorly...
mine was a disaster. assembly was long and difficult because components did not fit.
This is a very nice piece of furniture, great color, a great alternative to the white particle board type. Very good quality. One bad thing: one front leg is about 1/2 inch shorter than the others. It seems secure once attached to the wall but I still have a piece of folded cardboard under it. I really like the look and the sliding doors are nice. The open shelf is quite a ways above the toilet so you are still able to put things on the toilet tank lid.
I really like this bamboo space saver. It was easy to put together, and is very functional. Good looking, and seems well made. Good price.
good quality. nice looking.
Very satisfied with the assembly, space, and looks. Simple to assemble, but took a little longer than it should have to assemble, because had trouble getting one door (looking at the cabnet from front, on right side rear track)to slide open & close. Still not working easily like other door. Also came with one of the screw holes in top right panel/top is stripped out from the get go, but it doesn't affect anything since it just helps to secure the top on cabnet which can't go anywear anyway. Overall very satisfied. Lots of room.
The bamboo is good looking
It was relatively easy to assemble and served the purpose nicely, but after a year one of the doors is pulling apart and will have to be glued.

Rate Dr. Tim Darsaut
Dr. Tim Darsaut's Ratings
Dr Darsaut received my referral from my family physician for a severely herniated disk. He took the time to call me personally on a Friday evening and ask me to come for urgent surgery over the weekend. He met me in emerg and did his own assessment and admitting. His bedside manner was great and very friendly. Dr Darsaut took the time to explain what was happening, drew 2 different diagrams and answered all my questions. Dr Darsaut took the time to check in on me while I was waiting for a surgery time and did his due diligence in making a case to have my surgery as soon as possible. My follow up apt was fast and he was on time despite warning me there are usually long wait times in the clinic. I can't say thank you enough for the personal care.

I developed a ruptured aneurysm on Monday, May 12, 2014. I was rushed by ambulance from Westlock to Edmonton. Dr. Darsaut saw me that night and within 24 hours I had my surgery. He checked on me every day and has a very caring manner. Definitely, my recommendation for Neurosurgeon.

Dr. Darsault is a quality surgeon not only is he skilled and knowledgeable but has a good bedside manner. Dr. Darsault took on our son's complicated case when no one else would and is doing all that is necessary to make him well again. He has taken time to confer with other collegues in these exceptional circumstances which says even more about his character and depth of caring. My son has an extremely involved family and Dr. D is taking time for each of our questions and concerns...

Dr. Darsaut is the nicest, most professional, caring doctor I have ever met in my life and thanks to him I will have more life! After being referred to him, I was in his office within 3 days. He did the required tests and arrangements were made for my surgery within days. He always made time to explain things to myself and my husband and answer all questions we had. If you ever need a neurosurgeon, this is the doctor you want! I will forever be grateful for being his patient. He saved my life. Thank GOD for Dr. Tim Darsaut.

About this location
The Paphos District
History, culture, architecture, excellent food, good entertainment and tradition - it's all here in Paphos, not forgetting approx 330 days of wall to wall sunshine. Flights now coming in from all over Europe even through the winter.
All sorts of places to explore, the buzzing tourist areas of Kato Paphos, Tomb of the Kings and Coral Bay, tranquil villages to amble through like Emba, Chloraka, Tala, Kissonerga.
Go shoppingat the new Kings Mall, and relax in one of the varied cafes in the Mall.
Hiring a car is a great advantage it will allow you to experience Cyprus totally, from quaint little villages in the back of beyond, or more of the vibrant areas. Drive out to the Troodos mountain area, passing through many interesting places on route, see the historical churches and monastaries, the monks at work tending the beautiful gardens - all part of the experience.
If you want a more cosmopolitan day out drive along to Limassol or may be Larnaca. These built up city areas are on the coast and offer a different style of living in Cyprus.
Peyia, dating back many years, is set on the hillsides above Coral Bay, 15km north-west of Paphos.
The centre of the village still holds onto its very traditional Cypriot style, stone built houses, the locals sipping coffee outside on the pavements, the narrow streets where once only donkies passed through.
Now to compliment all this, modern tavernas and cafe bars, plenty of supermarkets, banks even an English owned Medical centre, and stores for all your holiday essentials.
There are many places to eat, whether you are looking for traditional fayre or fast food. Savvas grill a local Cypriot taverna offering a fantastic selection of traditional food. The Grande Cafe is very relaxed and is set in a courtyard, with comfy seating, basic menu, and you can also catch up with your emails here or let the kids play on the computer games.
Peyia is also very popular for wedding ceremonies, with many taking place at the town hall on a daily basis. then move on the stunning Sea Caves for the most spectacular photos !

Dick Grayson's life has been all over the place since the relaunch of this series. With the death of an old circus friend, reuniting with a childhood crush (with ulterior motives) and facing a killer determined to end his life, what else could go wrong?
The Good
I can't recall if I mentioned it before but when I first heard that Dick would be hanging out and traveling with Haly's Circus rather than stay in Gotham, I was skeptical. We had just seen that he was ready to put down some roots in Gotham. The reason for him getting involved with the circus again makes sense. It's also opened the door to looking into some secrets and mysteries from Dick's past. He's had a killer, going by the name Saiko, targeting Dick from the first issue. He called Dick Grayson the "fiercest killer in all of Gotham." We've been slowly getting revelations and with each one, more mysteries are being laid out.
Because it's the anniversary of the death of the Flying Graysons, the decision was made (without Dick's knowledge) to hold a tribute show there. This leads Dick to believe that Saiko will want to attack him in this bigger venue to make more of a show out of it.
What it comes down to, you're going to find yourself carefully reading each page to see if there are any clues as to what this is all about. Why does Saiko have a problem with Dick? What was that black book of names he found in issue #4? Why did Saiko refer to Dick as a killer? This is what keeps you on hanging by a thread.
The Bad
I am warming up to the idea of Dick traveling with the circus but when they pass through random places (like Austin, Texas in this issue), we're stuck with Dick fighting random bad guys. You have to wonder how long it will be until people start wondering why Nightwing keeps showing up whenever the circus is in town.
The recent revelation with Raya makes you wonder if she's really good at being deceitful or if there's more going on with her.
The Verdict
The mysteries are starting to unravel. Dick's been dealing with a lot since becoming part of Haly's Circus again. With the revelation of the book of names in issue #4 and upcoming solicits for this series, we know signs are pointing towards the upcoming Night of the Owls crossover in the Batman-Family books. Dick has been moving up to becoming a great detective but we're seeing that even he doesn't have all the answers. Kyle Higgins has been laying out a big mystery and it looks like it's all going to come to an explosive conclusion.

FUGITIVE eco-warrior Paul Watson has vowed to continue campaigning "undaunted" by legal threats, after landing back in the United States following 15 months on the run at sea.
The Canadian said on Thursday he was heading for Seattle after arriving in Los Angeles earlier this week, to defend himself from legal action there.
"I have returned to the United States," he said in a statement on his Facebook page, adding that an Interpol "Red Notice" from Costa Rica "has been dropped".
Mr Watson is wanted by Interpol after skipping bail in Germany in July last year, where he was arrested on Costa Rican charges relating to a high-seas confrontation over shark finning in 2002.
The 62-year-old arrived in Los Angeles on Monday.
"Captain Paul was not arrested upon entry in the the United States and is there to testify in defence of his name in the contempt of court proceedings against himself from the illegal whale poachers from Japan," Jeff Hansen, the Australia director of conservation activist group Sea Shepherd said.
Mr Watson said he would challenge a Red Notice requested by Japan in the United States, adding that he was "heading to Seattle to defend Sea Shepherd and myself from the... civil suit launched by the Japanese whalers.
"We carry on with our efforts to save the oceans, undeterred and undaunted."
In Tokyo, Japanese officials said they were trying to confirm reports.
"The government has no more information at the moment other than Japan continues to request the captain's arrest," Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Katsunobu Kato said.
Mr Watson decided to disembark to testify in a court case due to take place next week in Seattle over his marine conservation organisation's actions in Antarctica against Japanese whalers.
His Facebook page was immediately flooded with thousands of "likes" and hundreds of comments.
"So glad you are back! Please keep up the fight for our oceans! You are a modern day hero!" wrote Melissa Smith-Janicek, while Sebastian Phillips wrote: "This world needs more like you... stay strong, outlast, change the world!"
Mr Watson was arrested in May last year in Frankfurt on a warrant from Costa Rica, where he is wanted on charges stemming from a high-seas confrontation over shark finning in 2002.
He was released on bail after paying a fine, and was ordered to appear before police twice a day. But he skipped bail on July 22, 2012 and fled Germany.
The following month, France-based Interpol issued an international request for his arrest.
The organisation does not have the power to issue international arrest warrants but can ask member countries to make arrests based on foreign warrants through a Red Notice.
Mr Watson, known to his supporters as "The Captain," had been on the run at sea since then, and even participated in a new campaign against Japanese whalers in Antarctica last winter.
And when an anti-whaling fleet he had been on docked in Australia in March, he made no appearance on the ground, but the country's attorney general hinted he would not be detained if he came to shore.
Japanese authorities describe methods used by Sea Shepherd against whaling ships - for example blocking the boats' propellers - as "terrorist".
Japan's Institute of Cetacean Research and others are pursuing legal action in the United States, seeking an injunction against their activities on the high seas.
Japan defends whaling as a tradition and accuses Western critics of disrespecting its culture. Norway and Iceland are the only nations that hunt whales in open defiance of a 1986 IWC moratorium on commercial whaling.

1. One of those is scary in DC (or any other urban or educated area), but not in Rural 'Murka.
Same goes for Big Bird (and, especially, Bert and Ernie).
As was heard on NPR over the weekend: ""Binders full of women" is the dirtiest thing Mitt Romney has ever said in his life." O.K., but I don't want to crawl into that mind and be traumatized for life. |

3. Once again, this underlines what I said in my Obama Landslide thread
In that thread I proclaimed a 20% lead in the Popular Vote for President Obama. Minimum of 15%.
I posted this thread on Wednesday October 10th. ELECTION SPOILER: Obama wins in a LANDSLIDE First 7-Eleven's 7-Election tally (Obama 59%, Romney 41% as of October 22nd), then a recent Reuters poll predicting landslide & now this. A 60 to 40 tally is DEAD on with my 15-20% margin. 20 points exactly. I can't wait to hear my views validated. There's so much disbelief on my thread predicting landslide for Obama. John Lucas |

4. The problem is every time something like this comes up there's a knee jerk reaction...
There seems to be a LOT of people here that act like DU members are going to look at this and think, "Well, I guess I don't need to bother voting after all. I can just kick back and watch Obama win over a 12-pack of cheap beer and good buds."

5. I remember dressing up as George Bush, Sr. on Halloween '92.
I had a pair of big floppy glasses which I slit two small holes into the mask which I slipped the handles thru and over my ears. I wore grey slacks and a navy-blue blazer, just like Bush used to wear. I had SO much fun that night (but not nearly as much fun as I had four nights later when Clinton kicked Bush's ass out of office!!!)

I use TJ's roasted corn, black beans and halved grape (or quartered cherry) tomatoes. I usually mix with S&P, a bit of cumin and a citrus-based dressing (which changes depending on what I have onhand...lime, orange and grapefruit are all favorites). Simple but delicious. I especially like mixing it with brown rice for lunch.
0 -
I prefer to have this in the summer when fresh corn is available - I like to grill or roast the whole corn then cut it off the cob. Then I add black beans, red onion, bell pepper, halved grape tomatoes, salt/pepper, garlic and a lime dressing. Dressing is lime juice, a bit of zest, a bit of oil, tiny bit of dijon mustard. And I also love it over rice for lunch!
re: jenscats5
I make it similarly, but instead of bell pepper I throw in cubed avocado (mix gently so it doesn't mush in).
re: BeeZee
I also make it similarly, but I add a bunch of chopped fresh Italian parsley, and I use a generous quantity of good olive oil in addition to the lemon or lime juice.
My recipe is similar to the others. The ingredients are:
4 ears roasted corn (can use frozen if it isn't in season)
2 cans black beans, rinsed
3 medium tomatoes, chopped (or use grape or cherry tomatoes)
1/4 cup cilantro
1/3 cup red onion, diced or slivered1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/3 cup sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon dijon mustard
2 teaspoons cumin
3 tablespoons canola oil
salt and pepper, to tasteIf it isn't summer, I often use frozen corn and spread it out on a sheet pan and put it under the broiler until it gets a little color. Not sure how much it helps. Fresh is better.

http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showp...&postcount=474 (this is JePe Rafale, sold to & crashed by bmaa) But remember, they don't carry retracts so the Rafale is quite a bit lighter. A better compromise might be an HW-609 (75mm) or 620 (85mm) fan. Remember for anything < 90mm you have to make/adapt your own ducts ... . |

Not selling mine, but you are not the first one to ask that question Quote:
In the relatively low-cost region I would look at HET and ARC (as opposed to Neu which I think is higher quality) . The HC motors I have been using are these: http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbyking/s...idProduct=6526 Why these have lasted one and a half years flying several times almost every weekend at 1500+ Watts I don't know ... I even have two replacements/spares in the box |
Dec 22, 2010, 03:05 PM | |
Great info. Thanks again Herb.
One last (well probably not the last, but one more anyway) question.. Do you think these would be a sufficient set of retracts? As in size etc? http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbyking/s...idProduct=7998 |
Dec 22, 2010, 03:11 PM | |
Not sure .. they are 510 grams
I have Springair 602's in both of my Rafales and they hold pressure for a month www.retracts.com Other quality options are Jet1a, Behotec C21's, maybe HET or Sapac retracts if the can handle 8+ lbs. . |
Dec 27, 2010, 07:04 AM | |
What about 2 high powered minifans? or one high powered 90mm? such as a midi fan with an ARC 36-75-1.5 on 12s for 3500+ watts or one of these new beauties?

Thanks Shamu one other thing I rig the canards up. I have them on a switch so they are stationary on setting one and then they operate on setting 2 any ideas on how much travel and what to expect out of useing carnards. I have them mixed with the elevator travel and the elevators rudder and alerons are all set to per instruction travel

The Rafale works fine with one 100mm fan.
Franks setup. 6S 3200mAh Mega 22/30/2E and own design 100mm fan. weight I think was 2,6kg. regards Martin |

I fly with a CG of ca. 120mm, on mine the instruction CG is a bit too far forward (noseheavy). I flew it again at this CG this past Saturday. I suggest you start out with a slightly forward CG, and then move back slowly in small steps. My setup is 12S 3000's (6S+6S), and I have some very clear markings on where exactly the batts need to be placed. Not much space in there for anything else ! . |

Is this any good plane for grass runway operations? I was thinking 120mm setup with larger tires and working F-18 like struts , maybe with rotating retracts to get wheelsize up. Whats the "largest" scalelike tiresize I could think about putting in ?
Herb, you seem to know this one, enlighten me! |

Thanks for the pic, Shamu! Looks neat!
Could I bother you to measure up the size of tires and could you please check out how much more room there would be in case of bigger tires? Too many choices to make now... I just want a bigger EDF plane and with retracts now. Foamy or Glassed.. twin or single.. aaargh! 1.3m lenght and 94cm wingspan is a bit smallish , I would prefer 1.5m-1.7m lenght with 1-1.2m wingspan. That way it would be definately bigger than current foamies. Also, 120mm fan in this size aircraft is an overkill , 100mm would be enough, even single 90mm would do the job... |
Apr 18, 2011, 11:44 AM | ||
The composite airframe is very lightweight (850g or so) and if you keep the weight down if will take off from short grass in less than 30m or so (100 feet). Twin 90mm or single 120mm makes no difference, just go with the appropriate duct & corresponding fan size, both work execeedingly well ! My tires have fluctuated around 3-4cm, when you have the model in your hands you will be able to see that larger tires can cause problem with clearance on retraction. Rotating retracts means looking for trouble, they tend to be more delicate Also I would suggest having a good size steel coil on all three of your legs. As far as the foamies are concerned, believe me there is really no comparison in performance once you go past internet flying. Good luck with it ! |

Just to clarify: Does current twin 90mm version have also retract doors and bulkheads already included? Or is that only 120mm version has been made retract-ready from the start? There is a big price difference between 120mm and 2x90mm version, 439 vs 269. Of course you would have to buy double set of everything for twin but 90mm fans cost 100 together, 120mm costs 240.. The only thing I like about foamies is that they are easy to repair and make modifications to, but to keep them looking good you would either have to glass them or cover with brown paper. And paint again. I just hate hangar rash. |

Twin 70mm Aeronaut Rafale
Started working on this 70mm twin this week. Will post pics along the way.
The wood parts on the lower left in the first pic are from that difficult to cut wood plate. I had them laser cut by someone else. The second pic has cockpit parts from the softer cutout plate. These wood pieces in the first two pics are the only ones that I think will be needed for the build. The third pic shows the 90mm ducts modified to use 70mm Wemo MiniFans. I plan to use: Wemo MiniFan Pro ducted fans x2 Het 2W-23 motors with ICE Lite ESCs in the tube x2 Either 4S 4000 (40C) or 5S 3300 (30C) lipo x2 I also plan to add SpringAir 602 retracts. |
Jul 04, 2011, 04:21 PM | ||
Glad to see you went with the Springairs, still the best retracts out there for this weight class Bruce's pictures from last Sunday (7/10/2011), he really had a hard time getting a decent picture no matter how slow I would fly it . |

Rafale coming along...
Did some more work on the Rafale. Landing gear locations and mounting sorted. HS-125MGs for the elevons mounted and ready for installation in the wings. Using Hysol 9462 for all the wood to fiberglass joints, except the wing root former, will use regular epoxy for that and the other joints....

she's got legs.... finally
did some more work on the rafale....
i am really nervous about the live hinging for the elevons. what is the best way to prevent separation of the elevons because of a failure of the live hinging? |
Jul 26, 2011, 02:21 PM | |
Looks good ... she should be flying in no time
I never had any problem with the elevon hinges on the Rafale, after all they move just by a tiny bit I think (from memory) +-5mm or so. Have you thought about using hinge tape top and bottom. Either the Graupner brand which is what I used, or the Blenderm equivalent. The latter does not take paint well, it won't stick. I also have hinge gap tape to seal the gap on the wing bottom, I have a picture of that somewhere. |
Aug 06, 2011, 02:20 PM | |
Looks good !
I would try to limit the amount of junk hanging in the duct, it will rob you of performance. Maybe you can put some sort of fairing around it? Just finished freshening up the paint a bit on mine, three coats of future can do miracles The original semi-gloss finish on the black one was a bit more scale, but boy did it attract dust at the field . |

Did some taxi tests today and it looks like the tracking is pretty good. I was concerned about a single nose wheel because I have had stability issues with my F-22 with a single nose wheel, but then again I wasn't using 602s in the F-22. It is truly amazing how pristine your Rafales remain, even after all this time. I'll be lucky if mine returns from the maiden in one piece. I think I am going to go with the factory CG recommendation for the first flight and then move it back to your 28.7cm (from intake lip) point recommendation later. This is my first delta (not first elevon controlled plane), any advice on rotation and climbout? |
Aug 08, 2011, 02:22 PM | |
My recollection is that the CG in the instruction is a bit too far forward ... the Rafale will fly fine but the landing will be hot. I suggest you use my CG or somewhere close to it ?
Also, as you will see somewhere in the previous pages, the elevons need to be flat on top and angled from the bottom, this is a kind of built-in reflex that is needed for most delta planforms. The Rafale airframe is very light and will take off no problem from short grass ...but like all deltas it needs a good pull on the elevator to get unstuck from the ground when it reaches good speed. It will certainly not rotate by itself and needs a good pull. That is why you need to pay good attention to the elevator throw, I think it's twice the aileron throw? You will need all that elevator throw on landing as well. My Rafale have had their share of dings and mishaps. The grey one still has molten lipo pcb solder embedded in the fuse bottom. The black one veered off the runway and hit a steel post with the left canard when one of the mains did not come out on landing. The grey one flipped over in a strong crosswind and folded and cracked the fin. The black one had it's balsa canopy tub cracked in half and shredded from the nosegear opening air pressure when it flew too fast, luckily the canopy landed in the grass. A main gear cracked trough the fuse and duct on a hard landing about a year ago. All wingtip pylons have been cracked or broken at one time, at home or at the field . Both Rafales have been completely re-motored once. The fans have been replaced once as well because of too many chipped blades. The Aeronaut Rafale with that low intake loves to suck in dirt Hope this helps, HWH . |

Maidened... finally.
Got an early start this morning to maiden my Rafale. Maiden went ok, a little bit tail heavy, so takeoff rotation and climbout was uneventful. Power was plentiful with the twin 70mm powerplant. I've been interested in flying one of these Rafales for so long I can't believe its finally flying. Now to add some paint. A flat grey is what I was thinking. Will shift the batteries forward a bit for tomorrow's flight. Here are some pics I took after the maiden.

Herb (or anyone else familiar with this model) hoping you can help here: can you take a look at the pics on ebay - specifically the ones showing the intake ducts:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2510903337...#ht_879wt_1270 As you can see from the seller's posts upthread, he believes that either the front sections of the ducts are missing, or that it is an "earlier version of the kit which have f/g and polystyrene intakes". From pics posted by others in this thread (eg post #1049) it does look like the ducts have separate front sections, which may be missing from this particular kit. Can you comment? I would really like to take this model, and I am a reasonably adept builder, but my glassing experience is limited to repairing the odd bit of damage to composites. I don't really want to get into moulding/shaping work, etc. Any comments/advice/opinion will be appreciated. Jacques |
Jun 23, 2012, 04:11 PM | ||
I have the 120mm version (the kevlar version) and the intake setup looks the same, the pictures do show all composite parts needed but i can't say the same for the wood parts but that shouldnt be hard to fabricate. Good luck. |
Jun 25, 2012, 08:32 PM | ||
I don't remember anything else being needed for the intakes. It is nice that all the wood has already been cut out The fan & retract installation is simpler for the single. Hope this helps, HWH. . |

Recently I have been flying the Rafale later in the afternoon ... since it's been rather hot during the day
I got these inexpensive (but well made) lights installed from rcl, the installation is temporary for now since I'm not sure that large landing light will be visible I coupled the light switch to the retract channel, so the lights are on only when the gear is down ... . |
Jul 03, 2013, 04:19 PM | |
With the new lower ir batts it seems the Rafale wing gets a bit stressed at 150+ mph ... I went over various formers and wing joints with some fresh hysol. Some were very hard to reach ...
I also installed some simple carbon cloth wing to fuse joiners in the te region where there seemed to be some flex before. We shall see how well it works. . |

Jul 04, 2013, 01:25 PM | |
Hi Bad,
Thanks, I have twin Kontronics Jazz 80A hv in the Rafale ... My experience with the Hobbywing (same as K-Force) esc's is that they are very good esp. given the price, at least the one model I tried (120A HV) . The specific one you mention I don't have. If I use the new and old WeMoTec thust data, it seems the efficiency of the new and old fans are very close (probably within measurement errors), which is good. A slight concern for me (since I often fly from a dirt field) is the thin blades on the evo. . |
Jul 05, 2013, 12:51 PM | |
Hi Bob I think it's interesting the the WeMo evo 90mm efficiency curve I calculated is actually a bit flatter if you take into account that all higher power measurements include cooling fins on the 650 motor, which add drag and decreases efficiency by 2% or something like that.
Jul 06, 2013, 01:57 PM | |
I did not see any noticeable differences in the shroud itself ... WeMo claims they have updated the fan units every couple of years or so, but I believe that refers mostly to the choice of composite material itself, not the actual mold ...
I flew the Rafale yesterday in the afternoon, and I could see both the landing light and the red beacon ... |
Jul 10, 2013, 04:38 PM | |
Here's another small change I noted on the new WeMoTec 5mm adapters, they removed the threads close to the hole so they would not burr when tightening the nut.
The alu adapter is a nice tight fit on the HET 650 shaft ... The alu spinners seem to fit both the new and old rotors pretty well. . |
Jul 11, 2013, 02:49 PM | |
... Still debating what to put the new fans in ...
I've been doing quite a bit of flying lately, and there's a good chance one of the fans on one of my edf jets will evetually suck in some fod So that will be a nice rotor upgrade ... The Rafale still flies pretty well on the twin WeMo pros, I am no longer sure (as I was a week ago) that a small improvement in sound is worth all the work of ripping the fans and thrust tubes out & possible motor replacements (the new fan pulls somewhere around 10% more current and I don't what to switch to new packs, with different CG & form factor etc.). Maybe one that's a bit underpowered, so that the higher load on the new fan will bump up the power a bit w/o any further major changes ... decisions. . |
Jul 14, 2013, 12:54 PM | ||
Correction ... it seems there are some changes to the shroud, the newer ones are stamped "WeMoTec" as you can see in this picture from the WeMoTec site: The WeMoTec shroud is very strong ... in fact I think quite a bit stronger than the older DS-51 shrouds (but perhaps not the new ones...). The problem I found over the years is deformation due to motor heat : http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...=915522&pp=100 I've re-used a lot more shrouds than rotors ... rotors don't last me more than 1-2 years. After a while I can see pitted blades, chips and dents when looking into the intakes The lower the intakes (like in the Rafale ) , the worse the problem. . |
Jul 15, 2013, 05:57 PM | |||
The sound seems pretty cool, here is the 80mm EVO version (WeMoTec MidiFan EVO rotor cut down to 80mm, 6S 94A)
Now I just have to rip out those older fans .
Aug 05, 2013, 01:49 PM | |
I just noted that the original designer of the Aeronaut Rafale, Joer Rehm, is now making a full ducting (bifurcated inlets and bifurcated thrust tube) for a 90mm single (he likes the Turbofan 2000 ). We shall what comes out ...
The 90mm setup is not really optimal in view of the intake cross section, but as Joerg argues, it nevertheless allows to use a larger variety of commercially available quality fans : http://www.rc-network.de/forum/showt...e-mit-90er-Fan http://translate.google.com/translat...e-mit-90er-Fan . |

RCG Logistics specializes in shipping non-running and damaged cars. Shipping cars that do not run is a significantly more complicated process, it involves different guidelines, training, equipment needs and liabilities. While many facts can make car a inoperable – since 2005 choosing the best transporter has been simple!
Very few companies have the expertise and absolutely no one matches our resources when it comes to shipping inoperable cars at long distances. When it comes to shipping a non-running vehicle it is essentially to have access to the right equipment and knowledgeable staff. We can arrange loading, unloading, storage and transfer of non-running vehicles.
How to ship a car that doesn't run
No Keys
When shipping cars with no keys wheels must be pointing straight and transmission be put in neutral. A tow truck is hired for an extra fee to load the car at the pick up location and unload on delivery
Mechanical Issues
If the car doesn't start at any point of the transport it is considered non-running. Generally if a car doesn't start a winch is used to get the car on and off the trailer.

Same here, we love bows but lose them constantly, and these prices are reasonable especially since they donate part of the profits. I really like the religious bows... maybe the miraculous medal affixed to the bow will miraculously help us keep up with them : ) Thanks for passing the link along, MaryAlice!!

Best in the price range.
I have just bought this one from flipkart and this is the best product in < 1K price range. I'm using it in IIT Delhi and have my pc at least 20 feet away with 3 walls in between from the router and guess what ............ the signal strength rocks. I can easily stream youtube videos without any wait for buffering. Some of my labmates using another USB adapter are just jeoulous of me because of it's performance. So in my suggestion go for this one if you want real performance.Turyya Pal

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Employers watch out: Your workers can't wait to quit.
According to a recent survey by job-placement firm Manpower, 84% of employees plan to look for a new position in 2011. That's up from just 60% last year.
Most employees have sat tight through the recession, not even considering other jobs because so few firms were hiring. For the past few years, the Labor Department's quits rate, which serves as a barometer of workers' ability to change jobs, has hovered near an all-time low.
But after years of increased work and frozen compensation, "a lot of people will be looking because they're disappointed with their current jobs," said Paul Bernard, a veteran executive coach and career management advisor who runs his own firm.
Douglas Matthews, president and chief operating officer for Right Management, a division of Manpower, called the results "a wake-up call to management. ... This finding is more about employee dissatisfaction and discontent than projected turnover," he said.
Despite a disappointing jobs report last month, experts agree that the employment picture will likely improve going forward, although hiring will be slow.
"A lot of people who have jobs are considering looking for new work this year," said Charles Purdy, a career expert at Monster+HotJobs. "I don't know if we're going to see a huge uptick in the number of jobs, but I do think we'll see a huge surge in the number of people looking for work, even among people who are already employed."
Austin and Lauren will be two of them. (Both asked that their last names not be used.)
Austin has worked as the general manager for a small manufacturing company for six years, but he has his sights set on a job with the federal government.
"I am definitely ready to make a move now," he said. "I want to change because I feel that I would be more successful and have more challenges working in a Federal agency representing the interests of multiple private small businesses."
Austin has applied to positions at the Department of Commerce, Homeland Security and the State Department. But until hiring picks up, he is maintaining his current employment while campaigning for his next career in the New Year, or what he calls "maintaining and campaigning."
Lauren wants to leave the marketing position she landed soon after graduating in May. She said she feels lucky to have any job at all, "but it's definitely not what I expected."
"I'm currently in an environment where I'm not learning anything and am not challenged by any of my work," she said. "It just makes me feel like I'm wasting my time."
Even with less than a year of experience under her belt, Lauren plans to look for another opportunity in 2011. "What I'm hoping with the new year is that since most companies do their budgets around this time, they'll have room for new employees," she said.
But Bernard warns that they shouldn't leave their day jobs too soon. "People need to have realistic expectations," he cautioned. "It could still take 10 months to find a job."

20 Questions with Theo Etzel, President Conditioned Air Naples Florida
Originally published: 04.01.07 by Terry Tanker
Conditioned Air president Theo Etzel met with HVACR Business publisher Terry Tanker in Etzel's Naples office after the 39th Annual ACCA meeting held in Orlando, March 6 to 8. They discussed how a different management philosophy, dedication to training, and empowering employees turned his company into a powerhouse.
1. Did your family start Conditioned Air here in Naples?
My in-laws purchased it in 1993. They were in the large mechanical contracting business. They were doing high-rises on the west coast but did not have the service arm here. Conditioned Air had a good reputation for service, and it became available. In 1995, after a rough transition, they asked me if I would consider taking over the reins of the company because of my strong business background.
2. What was that background?
I was an economics and finance major and a developer in the hospitality business.
3. What specifically did you do?
I was vice president of Development at Days Inn. My job was to create the sites where we would build our hotels. I would conduct market research, decide what land to buy and where, and
4. What is the best idea you've implemented in the last 12 months?
My COO Keith Walker came up with the idea of Safety Bucks. Everyone in the company can earn five Safety Bucks for each month they remain injury or accident free. They can then redeem them for products out of a customized catalog or reduce any tool purchases financed by the company.
5. What is the sales history and business mix at Conditioned Air?
When I joined in 1995 we had 27 employees and $2.7 million in revenue. We now have 120 people and over $18 million in sales: 60% new construction, 40% retail. We saw the new-construction slowdown coming 20 months ago and began to change our mix. We do a lot of custom new construction. It's a good niche for us.
6. What are the keys that enabled you to achieve this growth?
Having a strong commitment to people, earning people's trust, focusing our efforts in the residential market, having a strong CFO, and having the right people in the right roles.
7. What was holding them back before you arrived?
The company was very small and didn't have a new-construction side. It was primarily residential with a small service department. Frankly, the trucks and infrastructure were dilapidated. Everything including morale was petty run down. But despite this, you could see we had some really good people here.
8. What changes did you focus on first?
I wanted to make changes in direction and philosophy and needed time to win trust. It took five years to replace the management people who had existing contracts. Roughly seven years ago I was able to engage the philosophy.
9. Did everyone adopt your philosophy?
You know the expression "get the right people on the bus?" Well first I had to get the wrong people off the bus. It's better for them, as they were not happy with where we were going.
10. Do you have a different set of parameters for working with builders?
We have a highly efficient method, and the No. 1 thing is integrity. If we can't deliver what our customers are asking for and don't believe it will yield a good product, we say no and walk away. In our business, we own the customer regardless of who told use what to put where.
11. What have you learned about the new-construction business?
If you miss one, it's O.K. There are other projects out there.
12. Why are there so many service trucks in the lot this morning?
We employ a full-time NATE educator. We have a class being conducted right now.
13. What convinced you to hire a full-time trainer?
In order to get more qualified people for the customer and for Conditioned Air, we felt it was a necessary step to train full time. We wanted to be able to assess people to find out what they know and don't know. Depending on their need, we're able to train basics or at advanced levels.
14. What is the company's management philosophy?
You lead people, and you manage things. We have a full-team concept here — everything is team based. We don't split overhead by department, and we share rewards together based on the net profit of the whole company and not by any one individual department.
15. Is management training available?
We are committed in the education process not only to technical, but also to business management. The team is enrolled in a speaker series handled off-site, where they listen to speakers and facilitators and learn about business
16. Do you also participate in training?
Yes, I'm involved with a MIX Group through ACCA. I'm also involved with an organization called The Executive Committee (TEC), an international organization of executives who meet to share ideas. I also meet monthly with a business coach.
17. Who is involved with the financial goals of the company?
We practice open-book management, which is critical to the success of this company. The management team all see the numbers. They know what we are spending in each category, and how much money their departments made. They have all taken financial classes.
18. With all the training you provide, are you concerned you've prepared someone well only to leave?
You always face the risk that someone will leave. But you can minimize this risk by proper remuneration. Let your employees know they have a stake in the performance of the company. Bonuses for exceeding our goals come from the net profits and are rewarded as such.
19. Are bonuses the largest workforce motivators?
That's only part of the equation. I believe in the management theory of servant leadership. It taught me to want to see other people succeed in their personal goals, in what they aspire to do for themselves and for their departments. We carry it throughout the organization.
20. What is your most important job?
My job is to make my managers better people and help them rise up, and to provide them the opportunity for a better life. All employees are internal customers of the management team. Our job is to set up departments, lead the departments, and make procedures as efficient as possible.

"Education in this country is about how to maintain the status quo and to perpetuate racism."
Jane Elliot
"The policemen or soldiers are only a gun in the establishments hand. They make the racist secure in his racism."
Huey Newton
"In today's climate in our country, which is sickened with the pollution of pollution, threatened with the prominence of AIDS, riddled with burgeoning racism, rife with growing huddles of the homeless, we need art and we need art in all forms. We need all methods of art to be present, everywhere present, and all the time present."
Maya Angelou
"The denial of racism is a form of racism itself."
Tim Wise
"I don't think it's racism, I think it's economic. But poverty disproportionately affects African-Americans in this country. And it happened because they were poor."
Colin Powell
"I believe that racism is at the root of this because if there is any country that qualifies for TPS, it is Haiti. We've met all the criteria and beyond. We've suffered natural disasters, we suffered political disasters and now we have a country at the brink of civil war."
Marleine Bastien
"Don't you ever think that racism that has poisoned the bloodstream of religion, education, jurisprudence, politics, culture -- that it is not existent in FEMA and the Red Cross?"
Louis Farrakhan
