Sorry to hear that Andrew, Take care driving down there

Hey Kev, Maybe it's just me but every time you post a U-tube link using your phone it does not open properly when I try to see it. It comes up with a small list of u-tube videos but none of them are r...

Looking good Steve. Nice paint job.

Great trailer..:) Almost makes me want to get out the flight sim again.

Thanks Mick, Will have a read of that site.

What with all the rain and wind we've been having it has been a good time to get stuck into the building. I have completed the joint venture with Kev and hopefully you will see the results very soo...

oh dear....................................................:(

Nice work Steve, I'm sure you will have a good strong airframe

I'm out tomorrow

LOL Good one Rob. Think I need that software too, My wife has some funny looking eyes each time I mention buying another plane. Paul

Tomorrow for me and Kev I hope..........:) Some modifications done to power setup of F14 so hopefully we will remaiden her. Also, did some changes to Shuttle maybe she has a bit more speed now.

Looks like you were having a lot of fun Andrew. They are great little planes and as docile as their big brothers.

Think you need to check your link kev. I can't see any planes on there. Wow Jetex...Steve, That's taking me back a few years. I used to build free flight models powered by Jetex or rubber bands. Kiel ...

Just another point, If the aircraft has a high wing(ie. above the cockpit) you test the balance with the plane upright. If it has a low wing ( Mustangs,Spitfires etc) you test the balance with the pla...

LOL... You heard correctly,what you didn't hear was the 100 other times I told him what I wanted even before we got to the field. Got to keep these test jockeys in check otherwise they try to almost d...

LOL..........Good one Kieran. :) Yes Steve, we only made the one flight on Sunday. Kev(my test pilot), was under instructions to just fly it with wings extended while we trimed her out. We cut short t...

Well she flies..................:) Had a hard time keeping it in the picture. Also couple of adjustments needed ie. different prop and 1 of the servos needs securing but overall the concensus was that...

Kev decided to have a go using my new camera today. Here is the result. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0MOypPWrR0 Well done mate

Her are a few photos I took today of some of our growing fleet. First up is Darren's Hellicopter Next is Gaz's chopper Let's not forget Kizza's Kev's mini T28

I will be down in the morning too. Hopefully for F14's maiden flight :)

Hi Gang, Sorry it's taken so long but here is the video of Darren's F15 Flight at Temora last weekend. Must apologise for the video quality but I had a number of things against me. First off, new came...

What Kev suggests is the way to go. However, if you still find it impossible to remove the bubble completely try just pricking the bubble with the point of a needle and then apply some heat. I used to...

Just had to post this photo of my all time favourite pilot. This was taken at the weekend at Temora. I call him Ivan the Terrible.

These are just some of the photos from today's batch. Have not applied any editing to them so they should be croped and a bit but wanted to give you an idea of what was on display.

Darren and I get back from Temora around 3pm this afternoon. Great weekend really thought I had died and gone to heaven :) Both Kieran and myself took lots of photos, I myself took over 600 just today...

Kizza/Mick Kev told me today that he was going to give you cash when he sees you. He was off work crook today so probably did not read these posts.

Not really all it says is to mix in some elevator up trim when wings sweep back. Approx 5% is the recommendation.

Thanks for the offer Andrew,but I think I'II wait until after Temora. :) Just a bit of background info, the plane is painted in the colours of VF143 Squadron "Pukin Dogs". It was based on the US Carri...

Thanks guys, I'm hoping that she flies as good as she looks. Just weighed her and with a 2200mah 3S battery and all electronics she weighs in at 1150grms. Going on the readings I obtained with the wat...

Just a short video of my new F14 swing wing in action Sorry about TV noise in background forgot to mute it before taking the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzhZvKhwxN4

Ok Folks at long last she is finished. :D Here are some photos of my latest pride and joy. Mavrick and Goose in the cockpit

Hi Guys, Sorry I won't be down the field this weekend. Looking after the grandson while his Dad celebrates his birthday...;) Was hoping to bring my new camera down to test out before Temora next week ...

Don't know kev, with that wind behind her she looked pretty fast to me...

If you can't wait for a hobby King order to arrive go to Big W or Woolies and buy Arildite epoxy comes in a 2 vial syringe pack. I've used the 5 min version heaps of times and never had a problem. You...

Tell them about your first flight mate ;)

I know I said that I would have some photos this week but I ended up being sidetracked by a faulty swing wing servo and had to buy one from lhs so painting was on hold. Anyway I did mount the motor a...

That looked like a lot of fun there. Bet if I had put my delta up today she would not have come down until it got to New Zealand. :)

Hey Garry, Don't get rid of your glass cloth and poly. Using it becomes addictive :) before long you're gonna want to glass some other new projects. Also, just a tip for everyone reading this, you don...

True, I have never directly sealed the foam first with just straight poly, BUT... I have Fibreglassed first using the poly as the resin and still have been caught out. This only happened the first tim...

Just a word of caution, both myself and Gary have been caught out on this. If you hold the can too close to model when spraying the propellent in the can will still eat into some foams. Make sure you ...

Guess that means it will be ideal conditions for the motor bikes within the next few days then.

Wow....Good catch that would have done some damage if you hadn't been around to see it

That does it for me..............:( There were times when that bloke would not have been able to hear it never mind see it and he still could fly like that. At one point in the video I thought it must...

Hi Guys, Both Kev and myself have a Father's Day Bar-B-Q this Sunday. We both also have things on during Saturday so, it's NO flying this weekend for either of us :(

I'm sure Kieran will correct me if I'm wrong. :) But, my understanding of the HK Australian Warehouse is that it will be for dispatching of orders only. You will still have to order via HK in Hong Kon...

Finally .. I'm at the painting stage of the F14. Stand by for some photos of finished article later this week. :) Maybe I'll get a short video of the swing wing function too.

Don't know if these are any better value. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=6283 Still pricy though I use the home method eg. hold wire with normal pliers and bend wit...
