the bulbs on your picture are not stainless steel, they are made from lead. But they have a very smooth surface.

SORRY for the misinformation, I somehow thought they were made of steel!

Again sorry....

I have seen that in Germany they are offering stainless steel bulbs'. No need to cast anymore! , though I have never done it, I read on several occasions that it could have some health issues. Interestign ! do you have some pictures or links ? Anders http://www.modellsegeln.net/tipps/103-0360_IMG.J...

Futaba FF6 also called 6XAS (40MHz), PPM and PCM, has all the gizmos...
one bad point, a bit "hungry" with batteries...but one day sailing is OK.

There's the newer model T6EXA even better!

Yes, I did read it! and to be honest I still don't understand why! Though, completely on a different subject, I remember that on the "continent" we had to put a sticker on our car stating where the reg. plate was from...now gone with the EU! I guess it must fill somehow the same reason. Anyway, I am...

Sorry, but this made me wonder...if "we" (I) race as an individual, why putting some "countries" code on the sail then?

just wondering

And does anyone know if there is anyway an individual sailor can get recognised (by IOMICA/ISAF or whoever is governing the sport) apart from via 'his'/an NCA/DM/MNA? The specific problem which I am thinking of is as follows: A Mr X lives and sails permanently (and is legally resident) in country Y...

And finally, your sail panels must be from the same piece, sheet, or roll of material, not from different lots. Not what the rule actually intended, of course, but never mind, you don't make your own sails anyway, do you? Sail prices will only increase a little... How could someone proof this? :sho...

Laurent, Welcome to Japan. I am a US citizen living in Japan (Tokyo). For tax reasons my official and real residence is Japan. I even have to keep track of where and how many days I spend outside of Japan. I bought an IOM while living here and it was measured in Japan and registered with a JPN numb...

I'd like to know how the registration works, does it work with: -nationality -residence (I herewith mean the OFFICIAL Address) -the ACTUAL address or country Hi Laurent If I may jump in here... I believe Roy is correct, it works with your "normal" address -- that is, the country where you are "norm...

First thanks, I'll go into details... I am a Luxembourger living actually in Japan. I have a working Visa and all the papers are ok , but my official residential address is still in Luxembourg. This address is the one stated on all my official papers (passport, foreigner card aso...). I know it migh...

First, sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, was hesitating to post it under "Measurement and Measurers"...as I read the "how-to" thread...but couldn't find an answer... I'd like to know how the registration works, let me be more precise, does it work with: -nationality -residence (I herewith...
