Lines, Handles & Bellcranks
« on: August 31, 2011, 08:08:56 PM »
How about a Board subject for the above?
Everyone has opinions on all three subjects, especially handles and bellcranks.
Design concepts, new ideas, vintage equipment, hows and whys.
Think there'd be enough interest?

I dunno - it seems like most questions would either go into Engineering (for design), Building (for things like how to wrap ends, or handle-making), or Open (of "what type should I get?")  Get too specific and we'll have a "flaps" board and an "elevator" board, etc.

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

Exactly, all the info is scattered. These three things are the "other half" of a Control line model.

A more useful forum might be "Trimming Tips...from prop to handle", or something of that sort. There's lots of meat there. But the Search function is a useful tool, also, and I'd bet that not many use it.  :! Steve

There's a section for Engines. Why not for Control Systems?

I'm generally against adding more sections to a Forum but this one just might make sense.
I built a Blue Pants as a kid. Wish I still had it. Might even learn to fly it.

Upon casual inspection, this is a good idea.  But we have enough trouble monitoring what we already have.  Moderation is an ongoing process that we almost cannot keep up with.
