C/L Combat

摘要

Making do over the winter: most places we can't do much flying, so now is the time to get equipment ready. Again, some of this comes from Igor Trifmov's generous posts. One key item in the equipment is what to take to the contest, and what should be in which box. Most flyers take three boxes of stuff-a tool box for off-the-circle repairs and supplies, a box for lines, and a pitbox for on the circle. F2D makes another demand, with a second pitbox required for the second model. To avoid problems with not always having the same pit crew, try and use a logically laid out arrangement for the pit box that is easy to understand. Put tools for working on the engine in a row with markings on each tool, or have the tool business end up so it's easy to identify. Make room for a second area for the battery/meter and spare glowplugs, with a combination tool for the prop nut and glow plug. Put the props right next door. Someplace, down in the middle, or on one end, allow room for a roll of patching tape, and the tools for in-match repairs-CyA glue, some popsicle sticks for splints, a sharp knife, and a bottle of washwater/solvent to clean hands and plane after repairs.
