Gday all, I hope Santa was good to you all and you have a great new year. I just want to let everyone know how blessed, lucky, favoured etc we are with our club. I'm up in Armidale with the fami...

Thanks for the info, Paul. I for one, wasn't aware of the times, so I'm glad you posted this. At least I can sleep in a bit now. :)

Want one!!

I like Josh and Josh. They have a fun approach t the flight tests. The HK boss interview was interesting. I wonder if they will have "quality control" related questions in part 2?

Happy Birthday young fella!!! 21 again? :)

It looked smoother than our normal 767 landings...with the gear down!

Arrgghh.. 3 Heli's there and I had to work that day. :( Looked like a beautiful day to fly.

Interesting, Eflite have gone really small with their MCPx, now they have gone 500 size with a BnF heli! http://www.modelflight.com.au/products/Blade_500_X_Flybarless_Helicopter_BNF-10101-172.html?...

Me too. An HK 500 GT is less than 1/2 that, & probably better quality....But, someone will buy one...somewhere...sometime....

Yes John they are small. I have the Blade 400 and it's only 700Gms, with battery (2200 3S) The 450 isn't much bigger.

Gday all, I have just seen some "Genuine" Spektrum 2.4 GHz receivers for $18 US shipped. They have the AR 6100 and the AR6100e at www.koko-rc.com.cn Any ideas, thoughts, concerns, warnings etc e...

No worries Garry. I just re-checked, and they have a minimum order of 10 before they ship. Andrew.

Thanks Kieran, yeah I agree with you Garry, so I won't worry about them either. Cheers.

Congratulations, "Dad". When is your new baby due??

thanks dave....and Gazz. i will take all that advice on board. gazz, if it doesn't get airborne from a ground run, you can throw it for me. :)

My brother Chris, God bless him, has just bought me a Birthday pressie...A HobbyKing F4 Phantom EDF!!! Isn't he a darling?? As if I don't have enough stress in my life what with helis, a Spitfire, ...

Thanks for the heads up Kevin. I'm sure everyone will keep their eyes/ears open. If the price sounds too good to be true.......it probably is.

Gday all, I noticed this "Warning Level 0%" on the RHS of my profile whenever I post..What does it mean? I thought it might have been a "Oh he's one of those helicopter pilots" thing, but Dave ...

Thanks Steve. So would that be like calling a helicopter a "mobile ceiling fan"? or something like that? :) :)

That could tempt me to even get into Helis. Oh, wait, I already am....sorry, too many pain killers. :)

Steve, that is an AWESOME site!

I like the Zombie Family car rear window stickers! Suits us perfectly. :)

I want that 4 secs of my life back! :) :)

Hi Pat, welcome to the hobby, and to this forum. Firstly, you will find everyone here, and at our club are friendly, and more than willing to offer help and advice. I started with a/c about 30 yrs a...

That's sad news for us, but I'm sure we'll see you guys again. Have fun.

G'day Peter. Nice looking setup for the 700. I agree with you about the sat receiver. With all that gear supported by a flying system that is trying to tear itself apart, you want something better tha...

Excellent report Kevin. Nice photos too. They certainly captured the spirit of the event.

I tried with babelfish, but only got a bunch of numbers. :(

I was flying a 767 into Brisbane on Monday night (for those That don't know me...yes I am a pilot) and had a flap problem. We were about 4000' on descent. The alternate flap extension takes a while lo...

Well, after years of running(jogging), one of my knees has decided it's had enough of that silliness and has torn its meniscus and some cartilage. I'm having surgery on it this Thursday so hopefully i...

Thanks for your thoughts and well wishes guys. I had the op yesterday and apparently, I'm still alive! It's a bit hard to tell due to the drugs, but I really don't care. :) Anyway it all went well and...

I had to leave the field today before Simon's maiden flight. Was there a maiden? If so, can anyone give a report? Thanks.

Ooh yeahhhh!! A mate has one & reckons they are the best fun you can have with your pants on! So, if you fly it with your pants off......... no- dont. :)

Nice looking fuse Dave. But why would someone want a scale fuse and then not fly it scale-like?........just sayin' :)

Fair enough Dave. I love watching you do your 3D stuff........almost as much as love doing it myself! :) So I'm glad you are sticking to it. :)

Cool. Is it the Eflite MCX thingy?

I gathered that Kieran, but I did say I would post something anyway. :) Let me know about that other "thing" & we'll see what an enormous amount of grovelling will turn up.

Back in the mid 70's my brother had a control line model & I got interested too. A couple of mates got them & we sort of "evolved" into RC. It was interesting to note that the "Hobby King" of the '70'...

Gday all. It was recently brought to my attention that one of the club members that can allegedly fly aeroplanes, helicopters and wield a pretty mean video camera, has been absent for many weeks. (...

I agree 100% Kevin. It's great to be part of a club where we are all in it together, and where we look out for each other.

How come you're selling it?

Gazz that's a great achievement, and it goes to a worthy recipient! Well done and congratulations! (from one old fart to another)

That's a great idea Steve/s. Out of interest, of the 3 planes you tested, where was the noise the greatest? eg; front, abeam motor, 45' off..etc. I'd like to test the Spitty's sound system at that di...

So my V12 Merlin should be ok then. :)

So, when flying an aircraft at 250km/hr, with 250 people on board, 1200' above ground, less than 2 minutes from touchdown, the LAST thing any pilot (or passenger) needs is laser attack right into the ...

Thanks for your comments all, and for your suggestion Gazz, similar to what my wife wanted to do. I don't know if they have caught them or not..but judging by the mentality of these drop kicks they'...

Merry Christmas, happy new year to all.

I'm intimately familiar with the B400. ;) Many many rebuilds have created a lovingly close relationship with her. I'll echo Peter & Dave's comments with an endorsement for the website Peter mentioned....
