That looks sweet as Kev, looking forward to seeing that tear up the sky.

Very nice Kev
What happened to the thread with that bloke who posted $50 zero's from hobbies in the hills? I was in there today buying srevos, (I never did like the zero) but walked out with one under my arms. Then... my dad bought one, brother in-law bought one, work mate bought one, then another mate from work bought one..... last count there were 3 left....

Lol, i was Tempted to buy one but saving up for something a little different.

But it's definately good value for money i think.

Yes Very Nice Kev

Well here is the 90% completed bird. Just needs rx placed in it, also the battery and make sure I get the COG right. Look forward to one of you guys given it its maiden!

I used to have an apprentice, great beginners plane. It will actually catch thermals with no power....
Also good for practicing areobatics (sloppy but fun, just remember down elevator when inverted).
I had a strip of clear packing tape on each leading edge to minimise 'tree' damage from botched landings.
You will have a ball with this

Yes - and Jonathan, you'd best ask Wayne how many rubber bands to use to fasten the wing ;-) That was the source of a mystery that would have baffled Sherlock Holmes, but he, JohnH and KevB put their combined intellectual weight to the task and it was inspiring to watch ...

jonathon i think thats a fantastic choice for a first plane.. lots and lots of time to make decisions on final approach , probably more so than any other plane ive flown , power up and go round if its not lined up well and float and float for hundreds of metres.. good buy mate, you will enjoy

Aaaaaah yes, rubber bands !!!!!!!!! The supplied 8 rubber bands are sufficient to hold wing on, but will stretch in time & will need replacing. Otherwise wing will lift at front & cause violent up elevator response. Not a fault with plane, it will give you many hours of learning pleasure.

Couldn't resist it - been waiting for this one for months.
The FMS FW-190 is finally available ...

Very Nice

yeah that looks cool steve

Cheers guys - yeh, I can't wait. Dunno where I'm going to put it, but I'll have to work something out.

It is very nice!!
Jealous!!

My Pulse arrived today, no pics, but it looks like this: http://www.modelflight.com.au/products/H...28-10.html
Box didn't seem that big, but the plane inside certainly is. Plane looks really nice, seems well built, pre-hinged surfaces, should go together quite quickly although I got no funds to buy motor at the moment: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store...Glow_.html or servos for that matter.
At the moment got my heart set on saving for a solar filter for my telescope (around $200) no chance of geeting that before June 6 transit, every shop is out of stock but I did find some cheap eclipse glasses if anyone is interested, I can post the website. $4 each.
Bosslady says I have too many toys, definately hard to store in our unit and while trying to renovate.

I've got to stop doing this, but the price was too difficult to resist! I don't think I'll take delivery this week, so probably have to maiden it the weekend after. I'm just about out of control here - might have to look at joining some sort of "support group" or something.

Join my group (SAD), you wont have to worry about having too many planes then!

Thanks mate - yes, please sign me up for a front-row seat!

Nice purchase Steve, I've been uming and aring about getting one myself for sometime.
You just gotta love the Mustang, it really is a great looking aircraft.
Just be aware that most of the electronics in them are crap and will need upgrading, if you want to keep it for a while that is!

Very nice price I would not be able to resist it either. When you find the group and join let me know because I think I'm beyond help with my plane collection.

Gazz - yes, I was basically treating it as an "airframe only" purchase having seen what you and Dave have discovered.

George - ok mate, there are a lot of us with "issues"

Heh Nice Buy Steve,

Fms Mustang, is what i have and yes i replaced my retracts and adjusted them more forward angle so theres no tip over on landings and take off. besides that nothing else was changed.

Though the Retracts are flimsy units but in saying that i had only one faulty all the time the other worked a treat.
I am going to rehinge my Ailerons as they are looking not so good now and will snap easily off as its only foam join type hinge setup.
But yes i guess if you want it to last need to give it a mini makeover area.

Just need Paul J to get a 1.4m one and we can have a mustang Rally

Steve

Cheers Steve - yes, I was planning on having a long chat to you before I did too much to it. Thanks!

lol Kieran Sad Club, if you Life was only like This http://youtu.be/w-nGNLoNubw

I got 2 pilots from HK for my Katana 50e and the new Super Cub 1875mm.
Strangely enough, one looked like Gazz and the other like Smuzz!!!

I think I placed them in suitable planes.
[attachment=2564][attachment=2565]

George , you are hilarious . JEEZ i laughed .

I think you're right George - the one that resembles Harrison Ford does look like smuzz ... at least in poor light, anyway.

That Cub's going to be a beautie George !! and a good size at about 74"
That will be a fantastic flyer !!

What Motor and battery set up are you going to use in that ??
