In general pistons with up to about a 1/4" dome will work with 119 +cc. 049-781 type heads. Pump gas @ about 10:1. Keith Black website has good descriptions and compression calculator.
Stock cam bearings are OK. Not a problem with BBC. You will need different valve springs/retainers/locks/seals for any kind of real performance head work. 049-781 heads are great castings. But to get them to work. You need to... First. They need 2.19/1.88 valves and related seat work. Not cheap. But if that is out of the budget, it is best to at least replace the stock valves with aftermkt stainless. One of the serious failures that BBC tends to have is dropped valves, especially stock intakes. Make sure seats are "high" into chamber. I had a set a couple of weeks ago that the intake seats were sunk over .125 . Remember you loose flow on initial opening because of the sinking/shrouding around valve. Next. These castings have rotators under the exhaust springs. These are trouble at high rpm. Need to be replaced with a solid spacer. Comp Cams and several others supply the correct parts. These castings use a very short valve spring. Limiting any kind of performance cam lift. This can be remedied by.. Cheap way.. +.100 aftermkt retainers. These are only available with 10 degree locks so you will need a set of them, std height groove. Correct way. While you are buying the stainless valves get then in +.100 long. That way you can use any higher lift spring/retainer combo. Or, old way, cut spring pockets .100 deeper. Valve guides will neet to be shortened. If not done will smash seals/retainers at high lift. While this is being done have guide cut for .530 aftermkt positive seals. Have the head castings milled .010" at least. This will remove years of abuse, help seal to the later block and get the chambers closer to advertised size. Most are big. BBC are particular about pushrod length. If incorrect (which most I see are) will cause many rocker/spring/valve wear/alignment problems. BBC Pushrods are available in MANY lengths because of this. I have several hundred in stock. No valve train problems= happy customer. Stock pushrods don't cut it. Even on a lot of stockers. Use 3/8", correct length, with corresponding guide plates. After all this work. You will think. I can get aftermkt aluminum mega flow heads for just a little more! Yup.. Thats why I sell lots of Pro Comp BBC castings.. Use quality, Manley etc. Valves and springs. They make great horsepower, last and take weight off the front end of the car. Good luck.. |
If you plan to use a "RV" type cam, a cam with a smooth idle. Then limit compression to 9:1cr.
A 454 with flat tops and 781 or 049 head will make around 7.75:1 cr and 8.75:1 with a 1/8" dome. 8.75:1cr can use 87 octane with a mild cam (210 degrees at 0.050"). BBC's get 20% less mpg as compared to a SBC. So if you plan to drive it on the street then don't underestimate the value of being able to use 87 octane fuel (10% less cost which is the same as 10% more mpg). With a cam in the 240 degrees at 0.050", you should be able to use 10:1 cr. So cam size will have a big effect on how much compression you can get by with. Furthermore, going from 9 to 10:1 isn't worth that much more power. Maybe 2 or 3%. That would be 12hp in a 400hp build. Figure out what cam you will use before setting up the compression ratio. I would error to the side of caution, and use lower compression if given a choice. Due to the large surface area of the bearings, BBC's need to have tight bearing clearances to maintain oil pressure at idle when warm. I recommend 0.0015 to 0.002 on the mains and rods, and 0.0025 to 0.003 on the rear main. Finally, when you tune a BBC, be aware that they love lots of ignition timing. 20 at idle, 40 total, and 10 more from an adjustable vacuum advance canister on manifold vacuum is a good place to start. For a mild to moderate build, a regular RPM intake (not air gap) and a holley 750 cfm model 3310 would work well. |
oohhh man i never realized it would be this much work to get it all to work..but if thats what has to be done well i have no other choice right..okay i have another question since you brought up the aluminum heads...lets say if i get me some procomp heads..will the similar process be required? All i want is a mild build..a 400-450 hp engine..an rv cam was somewhat already in my mind to install..if there was an eassy way to make 400+ horses with the peanuts i would definitely go that way since i already have them but heard it requires ALOOTTTT of porting
Aftermkt heads in general don't need any machine work. Most are set up for performance situations.
As for 400 hp 454. You can get that with mildly worked iron heads, good intake and a reasonable street cam. Combination is the clue.. |
bbc help
First you should have the set of heads so you can cc the chambers. This would help when buying the pistons. If the set you get are 118cc you can get a set of KB Hypereutectic pistons. There is two to choose from KB201 have 1/16x1/16x3/16 rings, KB203 have 5/64x5/64x3/16 rings. Both have .133 domes and summit racing's price 461.95. If you get smaller chambered heads you would have to go with flat top pistons. To get a compression ratio of 9.1 the easiest way is have the block decked to .005 that way you can use the .039 compressed thickness head gasket. This will give you .044 quench which is important in using 87 octane gas. To get to 400-450 hp you need a set of aluminum heads that have good flow or a set of 781's reworked and ported. The procomps that you are talking about I don't have any knowledge about. I have read post where people have bought them bare and take them to a machine shop to have them checked and put ss valves in them.

Today, we celebrate Paris, the city that will be en fête this week as 14 July, Bastille Day, approaches. For the first time, the Independent Traveller is devoted to a single destination: the capital of the most popular nation in the world (in tourist numbers, at least), and our top foreign city-break choice.
Besides the art, architecture and ambiance – oh, and the gastronomy – the appeal of Paris is that it is supremely easy to reach. You can fly from any of 16 airports across the UK to Charles de Gaulle airport. By far the biggest people-carrier, though, is Eurostar, which runs 18 trains a day each way from London St Pancras to Paris Gare du Nord. That's a total of 27,000 seats a day between the two capitals. Judging from my trip last weekend, the company is filling most of them at handsome prices: I paid over three times the lowest Eurostar fare of £69 return.
Yet compared with the dismal prospects on offer between the cities 17 years ago, the 21st-century traveller aiming for the heart of the French capital has few grounds for complaint. The London-Paris link is an excellent prism to look at the bad old days of travel, when companies contrived to keep fares high.
Some people may have the erroneous impression that, until the Channel Tunnel opened in 1994, we didn't much bother with the French capital. In fact, there was an enormous hunger to travel there: the busiest international air route in the world was from London to Paris.
On an average day, 57 flights took off from Gatwick, Heathrow, London City or Stansted, destination Paris Charles de Gaulle airport. And who was doing the flying? Not easyJet, which had yet to be invented, nor Ryanair, which had yet to discover "Paris" in the shape of the breezy former Luftwaffe base on a hill near Beauvais in northern France.
Air France and British Airways were the main players. They chorused that the lowest fare they could possibly charge for a weekend trip was £108 return. If you didn't book at least a fortnight in advance and stay away a Saturday night, the fare trebled. Today, even though fuel costs have gone through the roof, you can pick up a return flight on BA for £103 with no restrictions on days or stays.
The national carriers were augmented by no fewer than 10 other airlines, who were obliged to maintain a façade of unity, pretending that they charged the same excessive fares, while engaging in a vicious price war.
The more exotic the airline, the greater the subterfuge and the lower the fare. The cheapest one-way tickets cost £55 on Aerolineas Argentinas, whose Jumbo jet hopped from Heathrow to Charles de Gaulle en route to Buenos Aires. The Argentines also boasted of being the fastest: a journey time from departure gate at LHR to arrival gate at CDG for just 50 minutes (Air France allows as much as 90 minutes for the same trip). I believed the assertion; the plane arrived an hour late, and I missed the last train to the Loire.
Aerolineas Argentinas no longer flies from London to Paris, but easyJet will get you there from Luton this summer for as little as £36. These are the good new days of travel.
Cheap travel, not chic travel
The downward pressure on fares has reverberated beyond the trains and planes: pre-Eurostar, the price of a London-Paris return trip on a Eurolines bus was £52, one-third higher than today's price. Free Wi-Fi, which wasn't on offer in 1994, is also included in your £39 fare.
At that price, you can understand why London-Paris competitors such as Eurocity Express have failed to get back on the road as planned this summer. A shame, given that firm's touching choice of terminal at Paris. None of the overblown flourishes of Charles de Gaulle airport or Gare du Nord: it was 83 rue de Maubeuge, the address of an employment agency named Assistance Interim. At least the sadly jobless staff did not have to wander far to look for work.
While the Eurolines budget bus rolls on, options for elegant travel to Paris are dwindling. Until 2007, you could take a train to the seaside Art Deco airport at Shoreham in Sussex, take a nine-seater to Caen and travel by train to Paris St-Lazare in time to dine at the Brasserie de l'Europe. Yet, while elegant journeys have gone out of style, the French capital remains très chic.

Planting the seed
By Patty Kruszewski, Citizen Managing Editor 04/23/12
For three days in March, Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden was a hive of activity – and not just because of the early blooms and unseasonably warm spring temperatures in the 80's.
StoryCorps, the national oral history project, dropped in for a chat with three dozen friends of the Garden.
The chats – actually recorded interviews with 18 pairs of LGBG volunteers, donors, long-time patrons, and other members of the Garden family -- were a gift from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which recently recognized Lewis Ginter as one of the top museums in the nation.
Setting up their mobile recording studio in the reading room of the Garden's library, StoryCorps staff members collected stories about the impact of the Garden on community members, which will be archived at the Library of Congress and -- in the case of one yet-to-be-designated interview -- heard on WCVE Public Radio's Morning Edition.
Among the interviewees, noted LGBG spokeswoman Beth Monroe, were visitors who praised the Garden's merits not only as a play-date destination and the "go-to" place to bring out-of-town guests, but also as an educational hub and a refuge for people who are sick and suffering.
Guests who came during a serious illness, said Monroe, were effusive in their descriptions of the Garden as a place "of healing and solace and joy."
Another regular visitor, whose home was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, takes yoga classes at LGBG and enthused about the Garden's role in renewing her spirit.
Chris Corsello, a 19-year-old man with autism, also took a turn with the StoryCorps interviewers. With the help of his aide, Lisa Watts, Corsello has been a dedicated volunteer at the Garden, assisting most recently with the tedious task of stripping leaves for a stick sculpture.
"The other volunteers have really embraced him," said Monroe. "And Chris represented the Garden when we received the IMLS award."
'That's just not right'
Perhaps no one, however, found the StoryCorps visit as gratifying as Betsy Saunders and Mary Mitchell.
Aside from Lewis Ginter and Grace Arents, the property owners who donated the land for the Garden, probably no one was more instrumental in the institution's founding.
In 1981 – when according to Saunders the Garden site was "just a tree farm for the city" – the two friends joined the Richmond Horticultural Society (RHS).
"Betsy's friend insisted we join [the Society]," said Mitchell, noting that even though the insistent friend died soon afterwards, the two women had already been hooked.
At an early RHS meeting, they heard how Lewis Ginter had left a plot of land to his niece, Grace Arents, when he died in 1897, and how Arents had converted a building on the site into a convalescent home for sick children from the city. When the convalescent home closed, Arents moved in with her companion, Mary Garland Smith, who acquired the property upon Arents' death in 1926.
In Arents' will, it was stipulated that after Smith's death, the city of Richmond was to develop the property as a botanical garden honoring Lewis Ginter.
Smith lived to the age of 100, dying in 1968, and the city of Richmond took possession of the property. Although city officials apparently considered plans for a botanical garden, nothing had been done in more than a decade -- to the dismay of local horticulturists, botanists, and interested citizens such as Mitchell and Saunders.
"We were very naive," recalls Mitchell. "We thought wills were always upheld. But this garden was left to the city with money, and the city didn't want to do [anything].
"The city didn't want to build a garden in the county."
Driving home from the meeting, the two friends discussed the idea of getting involved.
"Our children were grown and stable. We liked projects," recalled Mitchell, ticking off the reasons she and Saunders decided they should join the fight. "And I had just been to the Edinburgh botanical gardens -- similar size, great garden -- and I was thinking of that here."
But the most powerful motivator, they agreed, was that creating a garden was the right thing to do.
"Grace Arents' will left land and money; the bank had money accruing interest. And we thought," recalled Mitchell indignantly, "'That's just not right to break that will!'"
'I think you've got a case'
Banding together with other interested RHS members and citizens, Mitchell and Saunders helped form the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, Inc.
"It was a cause," said Mitchell, recalling a memorable meeting held in the unheated, empty Bloemendaal House (Arents' former residence) in the middle of January. "We were all sitting in overcoats and freezing." They hired an attorney, who had been a next door neighbor of Saunders.
"He told us," said Saunders, "I think you've got a case."
"We went to every garden club meeting," said Mitchell. "We wrote every botanical garden in the world, and they send slides."
Among the early groups they pitched were the Henrico Historical Society and an informal garden club that met at the home of Sharon Francisco -- a long-time Garden volunteer who was also interviewed for StoryCorps.
For their first fundraising cocktail party, they called 50 people. Nine came.
But Mitchell and Saunders kept chipping away, eventually garnering the support of such key patrons as Lora Robins, for whom the Garden library is named.
In 1984, a settlement was reached, and the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden was chartered by court decree -- more than half a century after Arents' death. Five years later, the Garden Club of Virginia completed the restoration of the Grace Arents Garden as the first garden site at Lewis Ginter.
Today, the Garden encompasses 60 acres and includes more than a dozen themed gardens, a glass conservatory, a visitors center and an education center. Last year, it became one of only ten libraries and museums in 2011 to receive the prestigious National Medal from IMLS.
Nominated for the award by U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-VA), LGBG was selected for its Community Kitchen Garden that grows fresh produce for the needy, as well as for its education programs, urban greening and water management initiatives, and contributions to economic development and work-force training.
But as Mitchell and Saunders reminisced following their StoryCorps interview, the conversation focused on the friends they have made in their years at the Garden, rather than on the successes the Garden has achieved.
"We're proud of the Garden. It's exceeded expectations," Mitchell deadpanned, and both women broke into chuckles as she added drolly, "They weren't too high!"
After all, they noted, it was really that little matter of upholding a will that launched them on their crusade. It was a wrong that cried out to be righted.
"And there was never a doubt in our minds," said Mitchell, "that we would do it."
Environmentalists say budget hurts efforts to protect bay
By Julie Rothey, Capital News Service 03/28/2017 Government
Environmental groups are outraged at the Trump administration's proposed funding cuts for Chesapeake Bay cleanup programs.
President Donald Trump's budget plan, released last week, reduces the budget for the federal Environmental Protection Agency by 31 percent. That includes a $427 million in funding to address regional pollution, such as the Chesapeake Bay protection efforts. The proposed budget would eliminate funding for the EPA's Chesapeake Bay Program, which received $73 million from the federal government in 2016. > Read more.

Virginia raises a toast to George Washington's whiskey
By Megan Corsano, Capital News Service 03/27/2017 General AssemblyGeneral Assembly 2017
George Washington is recognized as the father of our country, but with a bill signed into law by Gov. Terry McAuliffe, Washington also will be recognized under another title – distiller of Virginia's official liquor.
SB 1261, sponsored by Sen. Adam Ebbin of Alexandria, adds a "state spirit" to the list of the commonwealth's official emblems and designations and crowns George Washington's rye whiskey with the title.
The bill, which McAuliffe signed last week, highlights George Washington's contributions to the culture of Virginia as "a native son of Virginia born on February 22, 1732, in Pope's Creek"; "the first American president, commander of the Continental Army, and president of the Constitutional Convention"; and "a model statesman ... universally acknowledged as the father of our nation." > Read more.
McAuliffe vetoes 6 more bills; GOP calls him 'disengaged'
By Rodrigo Arriaza, Capital News Service 03/27/2017 General AssemblyGeneral Assembly 2017
Gov. Terry McAuliffe on Monday vetoed six bills, including three Republicans said would help prevent voter fraud but the Democratic governor said would create barriers to voting.
McAuliffe has now vetoed 37 bills from the General Assembly's 2017 session – and 108 during his four-year term as governor, surpassing any of his predecessors.
Republican legislative leaders say McAuliffe has broken his promise to be bipartisan, calling his office "the most disengaged administration we have ever worked with." > Read more.

Shoes.com, Vancouver-based online footwear retailer has announced its acquisition of lifestyle accessories brand Richer Poorer.
Founded in 2010, Richer Poorer has its niche market in creating pattern-driven socks. The socks were high quality, well-priced, pattern driven socks with attention to details. Ever since its launch, the men's sock category has grown by double digits each year. Its products are sold in 800 stores worldwide, including Bloomingdales, Stag and Trunk Club.
Roger Hardy, co-founder and CEO of SHOES.COM said, "Richer Poorer has built a culture founded on hard work and hustle, and a brand that resonates with the SHOES.com customer. Not only is this acquisition a natural extension of our business, but it demonstrates our commitment to expanding our offering into the accessories and apparel categories. Socks have transformed from commodity to fashion statement – this is reflected in the growth of the category and represents an exciting opportunity for us to diversify our product assortment beyond footwear."
Further to the closure of the acquisition deal, Shoes.com customers would be able to reuse and purchase products from Richer Poorer and other brands with the launch of a downtown Toronto location on Queen Street West slated for later this month.
Hardy added, " We need to be able to do something that really creates an experience for our customer and do something different that's engaging. And that's what we're thinking of in our store footprint — just to bring the brand to life for consumers."
Last year alone, the men's socks market in USA grew 14% and by 2018 the hosiery market is expected to hit $25.9 billion. These impressive gains have allowed Richer Poorer to maintain a 100% growth rate year by year. Shoes.com has grown 300% year after year in Canada since its inception in 2012.

With the help of Bob, we got the Coral Bells moved. In the spot where they were, they were about to be over run by some roses. We moved them on the other side of the Potentilla. I'm sure they will be happier there. Then Bob (uninstructed to do so) decided to dig up some of the new rose plants that were too close to the house...and the ones that weren't so close. Who knows what will happen now. The Coral Bells are thriving.
We have a Crab Apple tree that really hasn't been doing all the well. It was professionally planted about 8 years ago. It wasn't the tree we had picked out and payed for. We also had two Maples planted at the same time in the front of the house. When we came home from work that day, we found an apple tree in the backyard where a light pink Crab Apple was suppose to be. We had to call the garden center that put them in to come back with the right tree. It still wasn't the right tree but, we kept it. It hasn't been a very good tree. It leans way too much and has been kind of weedy, not full like I want it to be.
This spring, I told Bob to cut the top half off. He thought I had lost it. I usually tell him not to trim things. He does have a tendency to overdo it and cut too much. He actually wanted to pull it out. I didn't want that because it was pretty healthy. He cut the top half off and it has never looked so good. The flowers this year have been spectacular. They also smell really good!
We saw this bird bath a few years ago. A local lady takes interesting leaves and uses them as a form. This is a rhubarb leaf. The glaze on it is really pretty. I got a smaller one for my sister that year too. Lately, the robins have really been taking advantage of it in the later afternoon and it really cute. I have been trying to change the water daily to there is fresh water. Buster likes to chase the birds away.
My lilacs actually fared better than I thought and have been the best in years.
In the same bed that the Coral Bells moved to is also home to the Sand Cherry bush. This needs to be trimmed up a little but, I may do it myself after it is done flowering. I love the pink flowers on this bush.
I have been cruising on my Prairie Schooler June. Sorry it is so wrinkly but, I scrunch it while stitching since I don't use a hoop.
I love the peacock on the roof of the house.
I did pick up some wave petunias and marigolds today for my patio pots. I also got a phenomenal hanging basket. I went with some yellow and deep purple. Katy fell in love with some snap dragons. We picked up a few of those for a pot. We also got two cherry trees we are going to plant on the south side of the house. It better not shade my rhubarb. Speaking again of rhubarb, my wonderful husband will tell people (especially church ladies) who ask, "Oh sure you can pick the rhubarb." So when the church secretary called this morning to see if we would be greeters this Sunday and oh BTW how's the rhubarb? I cringe!!! I do share my rhubarb...with select people and I pick it. I only have two plants. I don't want someone coming and picking it because I am careful not picking too much or too thin in an area. Not everyone is careful or picks it the right way. There is a right way. I don't ever pick it clean either. These plants are at least 30 years old. They were at my parents who got them from my great aunt, who just died at the age of 104. I will give her some rhubarb but, it really isn't ready yet. Looking forward to the weekend. Going to get mulch this weekend. (Doing the mulch happy dance.) We are also going on a road trip Sunday to see Ed and his new apartment. He bought some chicken last weekend but, didn't cook it yet. I think he may be nervous about doing it. We will probably pick up a couple of shallow pans for him while we are there.
Thank you for the great comments. My basket is really cool. I just have to find the right thing for the top.
FYI, if you haven't seen...Norden Craft has been doing a daily giveaway of signed patterns. I don't know how long they will be doing it but here is the Facebook Norden Crafts Link. Today's winners have been picked but, there is always tomorrow.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Keep on Stitching

French fashion designer Julien Fournie being started his career in 2009 now is one of the most popular fashion industries in the world. Today we are inspired by the lavishing and ritzy evening gowns represented during the recent SS 2016 show. The best and the most luxurious, sophisticated pieces in subtle fabrics and accessories combined with flashy makeups and hot curly hairstyles are collected right here special for you. Find a new inspiration of long curly hairstyles for 2016 taking examples from this posh styles. How to Style: Start with the hair color. A fresh shade is more than important in a healthy-looking hairstyle. If you want to sparkle during the upcoming special event then refresh your hair color with dark honey blonde, light yellowish blonde, chestnut brown or jet black hues. I would also like to offer you the eye-catching copper and Marsala red shades.
Once you are done with the hair color pass on to styling. Wash locks with hair color protective products and apply conditioner to soften your tresses. Then blow dry it and apply high-shine hair cream from the top to the ends. Center part hair with a fine-toothed comb creating a kind of long side bang effect on both sides.
They should be blended with the rest of your hair. Curl hair with special curling tools. Fix the glossy and healthy effect which is so touchable on curls with hair spray. Bring the luscious and thick curls front and let them run down on your shoulders.
If you like you can pull all to one side to have a more seductive appearance. Wear a bold makeup to comliment your entire stunning look. Those who have fine hair may go for long layered haircut before styling to add some fuller-looking effect. This relaxed and smart hairstyle is perfect with long elegant dresses such as Julien Fournie's elaborate gowns.
They will emphasize your femininity and will keep all eyes on you. You can opt for this hairstyle as a wedding guest, for formal parties, for your birthday or for a luxurious festival. Don't forget about special accessories which complete the whole look. So, what else do you need to impress people around you and to be in the center of attention?
The trendiest hairstyles taken from the latest fashion shows always help us to decide our final look for any occasion. So, keep up with the fashion and be the first to try out the most fashionable hair styling ideas!

CD3E is the CD3-epsilon polypeptide, which together with CD3-gamma, -delta and -zeta, and the T-cell receptor alpha/beta and gamma/delta heterodimers, forms the T-cell receptor-CD3 complex. This complex plays an important role in coupling antigen recognition to several intracellular signal-transduction pathways. The genes encoding the epsilon, gamma and delta polypeptides are located in the same cluster on chromosome 11. The epsilon polypeptide plays an essential role in T-cell development.

Living It Up - Poem by Jayne Davies
If I win the lottery, I'll buy a flash car,
Have my own private jet, and travel afar.
I'll have my own Chauffeur, to take me to town,
Then shop till I drop, buy a fancy new gown.
I'll buy a fine place, right down by the sea,
Whilst on the veranda, I'll drink lots of tea.
I'll book a nice cruise, to exotic places,
Wear a nice, fancy hat and go to the races.
I'll throw a big party, invite lots of friends,
Live up the life, and just spend, spend, spend!
Lie in the Jacuzzi, eating strawberries and cream,
Well pigs might fly, but it's so nice to dream!

I built a Veron Impala and all works ok on two channels but I was thinking of adding ailerons. The problem is I made the wing in two halves so I'd either need one servo per aileron or a complex connecting mechanism. I'd rather use the first method so I was wanting to ask... Is it possible to control two aileron servo's antagonistically by plugging them into the two aileron connectors on my reciever. I have a Spektrum Dx5e radio and 6 channel reciever or do I need to program something? Thanks for any help |
You can either use two aileron channels, or just a 'Y' lead into one channel.
The 'trick' is to ensure you mount the servos so that they do work in opposite directions, whether from separate channels or a 'Y' lead. Best way is to lay the servos out as you expect to mount them in the wing, connect to the receiver and see with way they move. The output arms need to move in opposite directions. (See picture). If you mount the servos vertical, (they are shown on their side in the picture), you could just attach the output arm to either side to give opposite rotation. Separate channels may also allow yo to use the ailerons as flaps, (both going down, while still capable of being ailerons), it will depend on your Tx's capability. Sounds like a nice little project. Welcome to RCGroups. |
Almost all receivers should be able to run two servos by using a Y cable. If you find that you run into buzzing or other issues try disconnecting one and see if it goes away on the other. If this happens then you have one of the rare receivers that will not support being loaded down by two servos on one channel. If this happens you can try a different brand of servo and see if that works.
Assuming you can happily run two servos from one channel the next issue will be that both will want to rotate the same way. The trick then is to mount the servos so that you drive the ailerons with the side of the arms that move in opposite directions like they are supposed to move. A little looking and thinking of the servos moving will quickly show you what I'm talking about. You want one to "push" while the other "pulls". |
Lay everything out on the bench first for a "test run". If all looks well, have at it.
WELCOME to the wonderful world or RC. Now go burn your credit cards before it gets out of hand Ken |

I have HP LP2475W LCD Monitor used as a bench monitor for testing analog equipment, I have it hooked up to my JVC HR-S7600AM S-VHS VCR via S-Video cable, The VCR can play any VHS/S-VHS tape PAL/SECAM/NTSC, I have a problem with displaying NTSC video tapes, I get a wider than normal 4/3 aspect ratio, Is there anyway to correct this or I just have to live with it? I played with all the monitor setting nothing worked.
If it was a media player connected with HDMI/DVI/DisplayPort I would just assume that the TV is not compatible with the media player resolution, But this is an analog VCR connected with an analog connector, it is weird that the monitor is made for US market not Europe, I would think PAL video signal should be deformed not NTSC.

You're capping 4:3 720x480? If so, wider is exactly the way it's supposed to be. You can 'fix' it before encoding for the final display format by either setting a SAR (or DAR) in the video stream or by resizing to some 1.33:1 aspect ratio, one such as 640x480. Or, if you want to play it properly now, you should be able to do that in your player. For example, in the MPC-HC I use I right-click the screen and then go Video Frame->Override Aspect Ratio->4:3.
According to this Indonesian site, this is one of those PAL VCRs with the SCART connections removed.
These were an attempt to allow playback/viewing almost anywhere in the world without taking the next step
of needing to buy a true converting VCR costing hundreds of dollars more.
Why they tried this in a high(er) end VCR like this is beyond me. -
This is the only high end S-VHS deck JVC made in multi system without having to convert from a standard to another which sacrifices the quality like those expensive low quality worldwide VCR's, It has different circuits inside for each standard and it switches between them, So yes it is true PAL/MESECAM/NTSC, It took me more than 5 years to hunt one down online from an Asian auction website, They are made in Japan and they are supper rare, I hope this addresses your curiosity.
So it looks like no one is familiar with this strange aspect ratio display for NTSC video analog source, I posted this on a HP forum for over a year and no one responded to the thread.
Face it, you got ripped off by industry buzzwords. Look at that chart again.
NTSC 4:43? Google that.
Multi-system Monitor? Do you have one of those? I do. It's called a PAL television.
Wanna play with anything other than NTSC in an NTSC environment?.....spend the big bucks and get a true converting VCR. Any other attempt leads to tears and an empty wallet. -
Ok dude, If you want to address the issue that I'm having with the HP monitor which I already did test with a US made NTSC VCR with a US made NTSC tape and displayed the aspect ratio exactly as the JVC deck, If not feel free to stay away, Keep the converting VCR for yourself I don't need one, I want to playback tapes in their native format. "Converting VCR" my ass.
Have you tried all the options under the Image Control/Custom Scaling menu?
If you want to "playback" tapes in their native format, use your NTSC machine and stop using a proven PAL machine.
I was a bit of a knucklehead too when I started importing PAL tapes into the US(where I was born and raised)....but nowhere NEAR your level.
Now that I live in a PAL region(Germany - where most of these VCRs were made by the way), I have a unique and mostly useless(to most of the population) knowledge of this stuff.
You think that if you can talk someone into getting this material to "view" correctly, that will solve your PAL in NTSC-land capture problem. NOBODY imports a VCR like this one into the US to "playback tapes in their native format".
DUDE.....it's OK to regret your purchases and acquisitions....I once paid WAY too much money for a Sony VCR because it had a cool flip-down front cover. -
You're a ******* idiot, I don't have a problem with the VCR, I have stated that already, I have a problem with the monitor that doesn't work with any of my VCR's or any NTSC analog video source for that matter, the only knucklehead here is you, So piss off and let someone who's more knowledgeable than you are help me.
Jagabo, I posted in their forum and got no answer, they don't offer free help by phone, I like this monitor because of the 16/10 screen ratio so it gives justice to both 16/9 materials and 4/3 materials, Once again it is just for bench testing not for entertainment, It was recommended to me by one of the guys who's like me into HiFi and VCR repair.
Jagabo, Do you know of any small monitor that has S-Video input and displays analog NTSC sources correctly, I can give up HDMI input option since I don't repair equipment with HDMI ports, I'm giving up on this monitor, I just hooked up my old TV box via S-Video and it displays picture stretched as well.

Since you've been through the setup menus and haven't found a fix your just SOL. Apparently HP doesn't care. And HP "support" just wants you to pay up before they tell you that.
No. Your best bet is to find a TV with s-video input that also has a VGA/DVI/HDMI input for a computer. It's probably going to be 16:9 though. And may not support NTSC and PAL and PAL60. -
Most likely dellsam34 needs to be looking at 2010 and older TVs to get both S-Video and VGA on a small TV.
I shopped for small TVs in early 2012 (I bought a 2011 model), 2013 (I bought a 2012 model), and 2015, and don't recall seeing S-Video connections on any of them. The TVs I purchased in 2012 and 2013 have VGA connections. The TV I helped my mother find in 2015 has no VGA connection, only HDMI for PC use. My mother's 26-inch Samsung LCD TV from 2008 does have S-video connections and VGA.Ignore list: hello_hello, tried -
Thank you guys I will be looking for another monitor, I don't care about PAL60 I have no use for it, I will be checking craigslist constantly, this time I will try to find a 4/3 monitor to avoid aspect ratio conflict.
I'm thinking you have a problem with Wide Screen Signaling (WSS). It's a digital flag sent on Lines 20/283 for NTSC. Maybe your monitor is mishandling what it sees in the s-video signal. Or maybe the flag is erroneously set in your video recordings and other equipment just ignores it.
I didn't think the monitor needs a flag thru composite and S-Video, It should default to 4/3 when using those inputs unless the user wants to change it to 16/9, but the stretched picture doesn't fill the screen though, it leaves small black bars on the left and right sides of the screen, this is probably not bad for most people but for me I like it to be exactly 4/3 aspect ratio.
What I'm saying is that maybe your monitor is not defaulting to 4:3 for some reason, and the reason could be that it sees (or thinks it sees) a WSS code for widescreen. WSS is in the video signal itself. It's not a user setting.
WSS part of the video signal recorded on the tape. But it is nearly unheard of for an NTSC signal to include it.
After doing some research online about video monitors it turns out the monitor I have doesn't recognize non square pixels, it displays them as square pixels no matter what shape they are in, So PAL signal is the closest to 4/3 aspect ratio based on the chroma frequency (no pixel structure in analog video) although it is not perfectly 4/3, I measured it.

- 1 can (29 ounces) sliced peaches, undrained
- 1 package yellow or butter pecan cake mix (regular size)
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup flaked coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- Arrange peaches in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle dry cake mix over top. Drizzle with butter; sprinkle with coconut and pecans.
- Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 55-60 minutes or until golden brown. Let stand for 15 minutes. Serve warm or cold. Yield: 12-15 servings.
Reviews for Nutty Peach Crisp
"Yum, yum, oh... Did I say yum? Its peach season so I used fresh peaches, added 1/2 cup water and sprinkled them with 1/2 cup brown sugar. I mixed the butter in with the cake mix too."
"Not sure what I did wrong - none of the other reviewers seem to have had a problem. Half of the cake mix was still dry powder and the other half didn't bake up. I did add an extra can of the peaches, drained, since I was afraid to change the liquid to cake mix ratio, but maybe I shouldn't have. The recipe didn't seem to have enough peaches, but next time I'll be good and follow the recipe exactly. And I will try it again, because these quick and easy 5 ingredient recipes are lifesavers!"
"Had a white cake mix to use up... This was good!"
"I've been making this recipe for years. It has always been a 5 star winner with my family."
"Simple and delicious. Everyone commented on how yummy dessert was and there were no leftovers."
"This dessert is so easy and is absolutely fantastic! Everyone in my family loves it."

Putin's fears of the Orange Revolution
News media this week reported that President Putin has again made his annual visit to a nationalistic-inspired youth summer camp, situated next to Lake Seliger northwest of Moscow, but who are the youths and what are Putin's motives?
Late in the autumn of 2004 at the time of the Ukrainian presidential election, which was largely considered by the electorate to be riven with wide scale voter intimidation and corruption, the Kremlin watched nervously from next door in Russia, as the momentum of the Orange Revolution built and the position of the pro-Russian incumbent president, Viktor Yanukovych looked increasingly shaky.
The eye of the Orange Revolution storm was in Kyiv, with the movement organising a sustained campaign of resistance, civil unrest and widespread strikes. This was sparked by international election monitors and key organisations in Ukraine deeming that the election had been rigged in favour of Yanukovych. The massive protests sparked a legal challenge to the validity of the vote and Ukraine's supreme court ordered a re-run in December of that year. With a near forensic scrutiny by international and local election monitors, the second run-off was declared to be fair and free, giving an outright victory for the ethnic Ukrainian Yushchenko, gaining a 53% vote-share, with Yanukovych getting 44%. Yushchenko was declared president-elect and on 23 January 2005 the Orange Revolution faded away as he was sworn in as President.
Putin and his ex-KGB cronies watched all of this in horror. Could it happen in Russia? Was there the potential for an Orange Revolution at the Russian presidential elections in 2008? This would be a catastrophe for Putin as he had to stage manage a handover of power to Dmitry Medvedev to create the space to comply with Russian law concerning the maximum of two consecutive periods of presidency. He had to relinquish power and this meant that alarm bells rang loudly in the Kremlin.
The birth of 'Nashi' (The Anti-fascist, Democratic Youth Movement)
After its success in Kyiv, the Orange Revolution was repackaged as a fascist movement by the Kremlin. The same message was echoed by government forces in Belarus, as it suited their convenience too. The Nashi organisation was officially announced on 1 March 2005 by pro-Putin apparatchiks who sought to harness the youth of Russia and their focus to pro-government advantage. It is almost certain that this development was a bulwark against 'fascism', a reaction against Ukraine's Orange Revolution and the youth-led street protests that handed the presidency to pro-Western candidate Viktor Yushchenko.
The name Nashi means 'our team', or just 'ours'. The organisation is supposed to be funded from pro-government private enterprise, who are unlikely to refuse in the circumstances. It is also widely believed that Kremlin bankrolls the project:
Those who set up Nashi looked at the components of anti-government protest movements in other former Eastern-bloc states and by
The organisation provided hats and jackets to show both solidarity and loyalty to the Putin regime, banners, flags and organised parades and marches as well as summer camps. Remember, this is not a free organisation, not in any free-world understanding of the term, because although the youths in this organisation are not controlled, nor is their freedom of speech restricted, but no one is going to join an organisation that is roundly described as 'Putinophile' and then mock or denigrate Putin, are they?
Nashi worked well for Putin from 2005 to 2011, focussing youth in a distinctly pro-government genre and the Kremlin ensured that the organisation was well funded and interlocked with the state in a way that went right to Putin himself – hence the summer camps. Nashi even set up a civilian police support to assist the police, clad in black and enforcing Russian 'morals', which generally means restricting the freedom of minorities. The youths were gradually inculcated with the belief that Putin was a national hero and comments about him in the Nashi movement romanticised his strengths. This was part of the speech of a prominent, pro-Putin activist, Vasily Yakemenko:
"I remember the 1990s, when (Boris) Berezovsky controlled the Duma. When together with (Mikhail) Khodorkovsky, in order to make their billions, they provoked the war in Chechnya. Young people like you were sent there and did not return. Our Russian national budget had to be approved by the International Monetary Fund in the United States. All of this has changed with Vladimir Putin." (Vasily Yakemenko, the Nashi movement's founder and leader)
He draws an image of the Putin that is wholly reminiscent of
Nashi have been used to discredit or protest against the opposition parties and human rights activists. Ugly scenes have taken place and fights have broken out between Nashi commissars and Nemtsov supporters – Boris Nemtsov is a Russian liberal politician and one of the leaders of the Solidarnost movement. He is a vociferous critic of Vladimir Putin.
The organisation is also used tactically to counter what Russian nationalists feel is disrespect to Russia by other countries: Shortly after the city authorities in the Estonian capital of Tallinn had taken down a statue of a WW2 Soviet soldier in April 2007, government offices and agencies, banks and media companies were hit by a colossal surge of spam, billions of emails, that disrupted the dealings of those organisations and businesses affected, placing a massive strain on Estonia's financial markets. Most of the attack originated in the Russian Federation.
Protests took place on the E77 main highway between Russia and Estonia, with Nashi youth protesters putting up barriers and a huge hoarding advising motorists:
You are now driving towards fascist Estonia
The reprisals in Moscow were not virtual, but direct and menacing as a Nashi crowd turned up at a press conference by Estonia's ambassador and were only beaten into a retreat by the ambassador's security cadre sprayed the mob with pepper spray.
In contrast, Vladimir Putin commemorated the former Soviet victory over Nazi Germany, officiating at a military parade and using his speech to condemn the expansion of NATO, the war in Iraq and the defence missile programmes of western states he said
"Moreover, in our time, these threats are not diminishing," he said. "They are only transforming, changing their appearance. In these new threats – as during the time of the Third Reich – are the same contempt for human life and the same claims of exceptionality and diktat in the world."
You may recall that the Kremlin have persistently and roundly accused the Ukrainian government and its supporters of being 'fascist' or behaving like Nazi Germany. This is an oft-used allusion by the Russian regime: it is Putin's way of blackening those of whom he does not approve.
To be continued next week.

After a 2.5 hour cruise and whale watching excursion, you will dock in the picturesque town of Langley, located on Washington's stunningly scenic Whidbey Island.
You'll have 2 hours to explore this waterfront village perched on the 60-mile long finger of Whidbey Island. The quaint town is known as an artists' mecca with galleries filled with local and regional talent, an eclectic mix of jewelers, antiques, clothing boutiques and bookstores as well as the Langley Whale Center. You can even check out some great beer or wine tasting and even glassblowing! If you've worked up an appetite, be sure to check out a wide variety of casual and fine dining options as well as treats and sweets. Learn more about Langley at Visit Langley.
NOTE: Please note that there is a small hill that leads from where San Juan Clipper dock up to the town. The walk from the dock to the town is approximately 10 minutes. A small shuttle service will be available if you need assistance ascending or descending the hill to the town.
