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 ...

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. (...

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?...

I went in there today and was pleasantly surprised. Stuart Kent, the owner, has expanded the shop upstairs leaving more space downstairs for RC stuff. He has expanded his range of aircraft..ARF RTF...

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 ...

Gday all. I was just mucking around with some ideas and put together a little video showing some of the club stuff. I have more ideas but would like your input in your replies (assuming anyone replies...

Just as well i drive a Kia Grand carnival...I'll need it! :)

I guess this is a place to start......Unless you use a different supplier. http://www.depron-australia.com/

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

I'll ditto Peter's comment. :)

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

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. :)

You will have a negative chance of success.

ooooohhh that would have put a tingle in your spine!!

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.

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

What a great flight Jason. Beautiful landing too!

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...

Happy Birthday gazz. 1/2 a century eh? You beat me by 1 year. What's it feel like to be THAT old? :)

Happy Birthday guys. Hope you both have good one's.

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.

Sorry Steve the link didn't work on my Mac. Maybe it's TOOOO old. :)

Thanks for the images Steve. The unfortunate thing now is....I DO remember them....all! AND....I used to fly some of them. Yup, mid 70's it was. :( :( That makes me feel REAL old now..Thanks.

I recently registered my drone with the FAA so I can fly it in the US when I’m there on business. It was a once off $5 fee.

Thanks for your work on this website, Kieran. I think everyone here agrees that our website is one of the best RC sites around, and the forum....well, it's second to none. Keep up the good work. The...

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

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. :)

Sounds and looks awesome. Here is the ever-enthusiastic Alishanmao with a beautiful sounding 90mm EDF. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCDNNELiskg

Yep. :)

Looks beautiful Paul! If you want to leave it here over this weekend, I'm sure someone will maiden it for you while you're in temora. :)

I flew my heli today with the on board camera. When I reviewed the footage at home, the extent of the damage to the field was evident. (I may post the vid in the 'videos" forum) It was in a bad way. ...

Dave, I can see straight away what the problem is..IE9 and a PC :) (Written using Firefox on a Macbook Pro) :) ;)

Thanks for the update, Dave. I have been practicing loops/rolls in the Trex 600...Doing really well......On Phoenix anyway!!! :) Maybe I'll have to bring her down on Sat to test the skills. (Or I cou...

Good point, Paul. Thanks. I guess it will be safer to walk in first, & it's ok, then take the car.

Looks like a fair bit of online Phoenix flying is about to happen. :)

Thanks Gazz, I'll put my make up on for you on Sunday.

Thanks Steve. How about we place a bulk order for RC boats? :)

Dave, what's a runway?? Isn't it just an elongated helipad?

Would "no trespassing/no motorcycles etc" kind of signs do any good?..........Probably not is the answer I gave to myself.

Gazz,thanks very much for your efforts today. I'll echo Wayne's "excuse"...err..reason too. :)

Yeah, just drove back from the 2020 cricket at Homebush...Bucketing down!!

Sounds like it will be a good one for tomorrow. Pity..I'll be in the "Lurching Bat Cave" (Flight Simulator), when I should be flying models! Oh well.

yeah, all this rain and cold temperature must be 'global warming'

I think I'll stick floats on the Spitty & convert it the the Schneider Trophy Racer!

Just wait to see if we get any of the Warragamba Dam runoff. Or should it be "damn" runoff.

Awesome Job Steve!
