RULES PROPOSAL time again time read article VPs contest board people will making some very important decisions Quickie 500 rules seem head list proposal has submitted Paul F Geders bears close

Lamb St Louis attests hear other engines will just competitive and/or better Nelson like G500 SuperTigre CS Shuriken on What does mean IR ADHO CONTROL does leave event terms entry-level competition As soon engine choice surpassed dilemma created involved especially Contest Directors Since inception what comparatively speaking super engines some fliers have driven out Q-500 racing simply because cost engine However can rebutted saying serious racers least two Rossi engines can equated about super engine may Rossi driver going competitive against Nelson So Contest Directors starting look ways

absence defen siveness Ive said before holds trueyou folks greatest Thank taking time react whatever way did difficult tasks Electric modeler may face trying measure motor current Ordinarily task measuring current very easy fact nearly readily available multimeters come equipped principle practice needs to measure current connect current meter series currentcarrying circuit thats Easy huh So task difficult motor current What makes motor current measurement somewhat less simple fact power systems operate relatively high currentscurrent well past ranges found common multimeters Ive seen case ordinary meters have current ranges up 10 amps less just doesnt handle typical 20-something amps re used running through power systems Therefore some approach other simple application multimeter

readers cant still have age-old problem measuring motor current So everyone heres updated look easily meet measurement challenge paragraph above mentioned word shunt So whats shunt shunt another word specialized resistorin particular low-resistance precision resistor resistor deliberately inserted series circuit circuit current must flow through same time resistor such low resistance its presence does noticeably affect operation circuit Some photos month show current shunt its application measuring motor current planes shunt pictured made Steve Kowalski 28 Hillberry Lane Holbrook NY 11741 can

absence defen siveness Ive said before holds trueyou folks greatest Thank taking time react whatever way did difficult tasks Electric modeler may face trying measure motor current Ordinarily task measuring current very easy fact nearly readily available multimeters come equipped principle practice needs to measure current connect current meter series currentcarrying circuit thats Easy huh So task difficult motor current What makes motor current measurement somewhat less simple fact power systems operate relatively high currentscurrent well past ranges found common multimeters Ive seen case ordinary meters have current ranges up 10 amps less just doesnt handle typical 20-something amps re used running through power systems Therefore some approach other simple application multimeter

readers cant still have age-old problem measuring motor current So everyone heres updated look easily meet measurement challenge paragraph above mentioned word shunt So whats shunt shunt another word specialized resistorin particular low-resistance precision resistor resistor deliberately inserted series circuit circuit current must flow through same time resistor such low resistance its presence does noticeably affect operation circuit Some photos month show current shunt its application measuring motor current planes shunt pictured made Steve Kowalski 28 Hillberry Lane Holbrook NY 11741 can see its very convenient use small coil wire actually short calibrated length ordinary heavy wire such used house wiring its outfitted Sermos connectors also outfitted two tip jackssmall connectors can plug common multimeter leads shunts accurate milliohm resistance Thats 000 10 ohmsprobably much less resistance model wiring have So what does anyway variation very basic law electricity says current flowing through resistor results proportionate voltage appearing resistor As specific example amp flowing through one-ohm resistor volt would appear across resistor shunt example Continued page 158 94
