It flies :)

Heading down to maiden my depron extra.

No worries :) Yes, 1.3amp 3s fit perfectly. I'm sure you could put 1.6 if you wanted.

This weekend only, $35! How cheap is this, practically giving it away. Plane cost around $70-$80 ESC cost around $10-$15. $35 ! $35 !...

Cool stuff, I like WW1 planes :)

I remember having heaps of fun once with my Floater Jet. Wind was so strong it was flying backwards and i needed full throttle just to get the plane back in front of me again. I remember it was also a...

Box arrived today, had a qiuck look, bloody hell it's big! Have to leave it at work for time being with my other large boxed plane. Wife was not happy, nor am I actually, but I got a nice plane :)

No reciever, no battery but i can throw in a male XT60 connector to go from ESC to Battery and bullet plugs to go from ESC to motor. I've got plenty lying around. Ailerons are attached with tape and h...

This Focus bought from HobbyKing, has never flown. It had problems with flimsy ailerons which I cut out at the field one day, took it home and made much better ones out of balsa. Second time at the fi...

E-Flite Apprentice worked really well for me :) I've been a member of the club for 3-4yrs but don't fly often enough. I still feel like I'm a beginner when I'm out there. Try Kellets (in our links) ...

I never knew that place existed, good stuff...

That's it, havin' a few beers tonight...

Hi Wayne, To make you feel better, when I started building my Advance, I didn't realise the (plastic sheet) hinges were already loosely placed into the ailerons and wing. So I cut the ailerons out, s...

I had intentions of doing this a while ago, but as usual my plans never eventuated... http://www.modelairplanenews.com/blog/2012/05/26/rocket-powered-rc-airplanes-good-fun-or-big-problem/

If anyone would like to fix this as Gazza has pointed out and fix motor into position, I'll pay for materials, and buy a case of beer (of their choice of course) for their troubles.

In regards to my HET Flying Wing.., tried dremmelling away the excess fibreglass inside the firewall, as the motor would not sit right. Been sitting on this problem for months! No good, even dremmelle...

I want one...

Agreed, I started on one of them and although they are easy, if a gust of wind picks you up, you can be easily stuffed right up. Also landings are hard to do with any plane and without an instructor, ...

Still haven't got mine. Can I pick it up from somewhere?

Back to RC talk, I found this on ebay... (should I?) http://www.ebay.com/itm/RC-Plans-plus-two-Scale-Drawings-ANTONOV-2-Biplane-span-50-5-power-25-/140746380319 Of course I won't be building t...

yeah, GUYS...., that's why I didn't immediately respond to smuzz. It was drifting off topic... :) ...but yeah a scratchbuild would be nice :)

it's too severe for thrust angle and when I attempt to screw the motor in, it twists the motor to an awkward mis-aligned kind of angle. Instruction manual pic seems dead straight. I'll bring it down t...

Hi guys, I got a small problem installing the motor in my HET flying wing. As can be seen the front of the fuselage/pod is not straight. One side is considerably thicker than the other, and no...

Stephen, I slept in today, I'll be down Sunday if you are there too....

Agreed, useless... now for another beer...

interesting to know what G-forces can be generated by that type of flying.... Frank- I'd be in my car too, wearing a helmet...

I got a thing for the flying wing too :) nearly finished my HET wing, will be bringing it down soon.
