Just weighed the PC9 for you Steve.

Take off weight is 2790 grams with a Turnigy 5S 4000 30-40C battery.

Am running this Turnigy 85 amp ESC with built in 5 amp BEC that also comes with an On/Off switch

Hi Guys,

I picked this up from a friend from work last night.

He has had it in his garage for a very long time & was given to him & he has never flown it.

The plane I believe it was built from scratch plans and is very well made as can be seen.

Shall convert it to electric in the future - thinking I may take it down for a static display on Australia Day.

       

My Christmas present has arrived. A SuperAndCheaper special. $81 + delivery! Should be flying in the next month or two. It's a 46-size, IC conversion so are there any suggestions for a motor?

Dad reckons it would go close to the size of one of the large PC-9's that we have over there. We took it out of the box and we were like "Woah!".

This is a photo taken at our recent Xmas Party.
I'm sure one of you guys can come up with a funny caption
to fit this.
   

No prize for the winner.

Just had to show this off.
It arrived this morning along with Kev's BAE Hawk.
This is what $1000 gets you (including the retracts)

Still have to buy the Stumax 90mm EDF and all electrics so
she is a long off from a maiden flight.
This will be my plane to take to the turbine meets like Temora and
Cudal etc.
I am a happy chap

hi guys

first of all, merry Xmas to all!!!!

Yesterday I finaly received my xmas pressie, a brand new RTF Blade 400 3D which comes with the DX 6i. I bought it myself from RC Hobbies few weeks ago and picked it up from the shop. I did notice that the box seal was broken but I had a quick sneak peak inside and all looked ok. When I got home, missuz wrapped it up and its been under the xmas tree until yesterday.

I know VERY LITTLE about helis and planes, only used to do cars in the RC world. I read a LOT on the forums and watched the 10 day instructional video on rchelicopterfun which was handy.

Now, I just wanted to ask re the settings on the DX 6i. First of all, it was in MDL1 which had a little picture of a plane there which seemed odd as the standard heli functions were not accessible (ie swash mix). When I changed it to MDL2, it has little heli picture there but the settings were completely incorrect (I googled the default 6i settings). Obviously, I had to re-bind the Tx and Rx and then set it up from scratch. Not a bad excercise as I got used to the menu and many of its functions.

The conroller plastic seems fine and undamaged but the main lcd has lots of micro scratches on it. See what I mean :



Do you guys think they sold me a 2nd hand controller? I know it works ok (well, havent flown with it) and if anything goes wrong, I still have the full warranty but it seems odd.

Is it worth taking it back for a new one or should I just keep it and be happy?

Wishing all a happy, safe and prosperous Christmas and a fantastic New Year.

He likes to keep things low key, so what can be more low key than a big

hi guys

I know I am new here but I am so excited

my Xmas presents, and my first step into flying RC world have arrived today !!!!



cant wait for xmas now ... I will be definitely out there on the field so I hope I can get some pointers

When I was packing up today I found a small
aluminium case with a few batteries in it.
I'm thinking that they may belong to either Chris or Victor.
How about it chaps? Are these yours?
I brought them home with me so if you want to contact me let me
know where/when I can return them.
Otherwise I can consider them as treasure found at the end of
the rainbow.
