No

The issue with the HK DLG is no rudder, You definitely want a rudder if you are thermal-ling. Hotliner looked good until I saw that the wings are not fibreglass as well :(

Just a Suggestion Mick, please put some tall walls between the pilot area and the mobile tower and the pilot area and the water tank. Flying out of bounds has consequences thats needs to be reflected...

I haven't forgotten, Whilst I don't doubt anyone's flying ability (You all flew on Australia day didn't you?). That final test is to display ability in recovering from uncontrolled flight, I haven't...

Receipts will be organised for any that need them should the MAAA cards not arrive.

I dunno, I can attest to electrics still working under water :(

I intended to give them a go but found they were just a bit thick for my wing and would have made the cover sit a bit high. I payed the extra for the hitec's and in the end one of them was dodgy.... ...

Need one of these ;) http://www.gigapansystems.com/ I did find a guy one in Sydney a while back but he was having a baby at the time, I tried contacting him since but no luck... --Edit-- Have just h...

What camera are you using? I can lend my slr if you wanna have a go with that

I have HS125's in the wing and a HobbyKing 929 DMG in the tail. Hysol is the glue. http://www.intairco.net/default.asp?page=products&cat=11&subcat=207&MenuOpen=p7menu7

If you can get the files to me, I'll make a page on the main club site dedicated for downloading the files. Size is no issue

Yes I will! Can I please borrow both off you, it will be muchly appreciated!

Hey, Just wondering if anyone could lend me an inverter (300w or more) or a large 12v battery for next Sunday 20th March

Good effort, I made a few attempts a while back but dropped them in lieu of getting someone out to do a decent 360 panorama of the field with a proper pano head setup.

I have made a standing offer to do their site up, seems they're not interested.

In terms of actual variety it was Very blah: Hawk, F18 Classic, F18 Super, F16 Singapore, F16 USAF... Of course I speak as someone thats been to several Avalon airshows, there was nothing new in the a...

Took me all day and night but: http://www.parramatta.rcflyingclub.com/wp-content/gallery/cache/411__320x240_Avalon-110.jpg http://www.parramatta.rcflyingclub.com/event-reports/avalon-airshow-2011-re...

Bigger report on the way, short answer is that I had a great time but it was a terrible show!

Looking at getting a DLG at the moment, There are plenty of thermals around PRCAC on a sunny day, the challenge is to find them. I have my eye on one of these: http://www.austars-model.com/disprdet.p...

Looks great Andrew! One thing I've noticed is that all these sound systems have trouble syncing sound with throttle position, (it seems like your at quarter throttle before it wants to kick in) If you...

A quick look at the Calculator shows a possible speed/thrust increase with a 10x8.3 x3 Prop source: http://www.flyelectric.com/propsfixed-threeblade.html OR http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store...

Have at it ;) http://www.ecalc.ch/motorcalc_e.htm?ecalc I don't know the exact math but from practice, adding an extra blade will add more torque/thrust than speed. I always think of diameter being y...

Model Engines are the distro for Seagull Models in Australia. You might have some luck with Kelletts

Wifey has had to pull out of the Airshow as she has a wedding booking. Is anyone interested in going in her place? Tickets down would be $200ish (The quicker you get back to me the cheaper) and there ...

Would be a good start, Aim for APC 5x5 and go from there. I ran this: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=9383 4 Cell, 7x5 prop, 1000 or so watts. You must replace the...

Aw man, you beat me! I was gonna use that registration on a project, will have to change it to vh-omg now ;)

Reports so far have said that Orange Rx's work fine with DSM-X radio's

For peace of mind you could run a separate UBEC, but just run it off your flight battery. Wouldn't add much to your overall weight.

Put a 35/48 on it. I'll be suprised if you can melt one of those!

Looks awesome, well done mate

I was mention this, Gary did you buy the DSX11 within the timeframe they've given for free upgrade?

G'day, Just looking for EOI's in a Tower Hobbies group order. Darren has offered the use of his account which gives some nice savings the more we order. I'll be grabbing a CC esc and some micro ba...

Wait, I have carbon rods for you in my boot, shouldn't they be in the wing!? :twisted:

Jeeeezus!!!

Thats the one Victor, Never had an issue and rarely have to charge my TX anymore. Just be VERY wary about the Lipo voltage cliff, As soon as the TX says your lipo is at around 11.0V you will want it ...

Something to consider Ingo is that there is no rule against having a chair on the flight line ;)

I'm also happy to hear that. Whilst its good for damage mitigation, the long grass promotes the flies that annoy you to the point of crashing! Prevention better than cure! ;)

Never heard of different GPU's increasing parallel port performance. You may want to check out Staticice for prices for a new one (~$40) http://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=agp+ati&spos=...

Third mistake: Not coming down to the club and letting us stop you from making these mistakes!

Highly unlikely I'll make it down this weekend. Have fun if you do get down there!

Jeez, you weren't kidding when you said you'd put some stickers on it!
