Price is firm

Both planes have motors and ESCs

Im pretty sure they both have soectrum compatible recievers as well

The float plane needs a smaller prop or a bigger ESC as its drawing a litttle too much current but both shoild be plug and fly

the bilane has had a couple of minor repairs but they are well done and it did fly nicely

G'Day members and visitors, while I was at Ultimate Hobbies earlier I found these.

Here you can see the brilliant new club flyers that are on display and available to take at Ultimate Hobbies. An excellent job done by Fawas and team.

Sorry Chris for having a new thread, but I think this deserves it. If not, let me know and I'll post it elsewhere..

Regards Todd

Whats people experience with how to treat new batteries?
I know to charge at less than 1c for a few charges but how much less and how many should I do, should I increase each charge and build up to 1c?
What about discharge, should that be gentle and build up to a faster discharge or go hard as I want max performance from these turnigy blue 2200 3s.

Hello guys,
Long story short, yes, I have been playing Pokemon. Just to see what all the fuss was about, and because my partners daughter is playing it as well.

Without going into great detail on how it all works, they access google maps and images and have what they call Pokestops. You can get free things from these Pokestops, as well as more Pokemon that hang around these stops.

It just so happens that McCoy Park is a Pokestop. Not bad for some free advertisement, even if it is Pokemon. So, if you see some random kids, or wayward adults, they may be searching for Pokemon.

Last weekend some of you may recall my attempt to fly my Zeta Phantom flying wing. Despite several good launches it was so underpowered it refused to climb out and crashed - fortunately gently - each time. I went back to RC groups and started looking again at the big number of posts about this particular model. The phantom (aka FX 61) has been widely used for fpv flight and that was a major reason I bought it.

http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthrea...4&page=619

I set out my story on rcgroups page 619 and I got an immediate response which I think is generally interesting to any flying wing pilot.

Points include: People now agree the frisbee launch is best for pusher flying wings - the thread contains a story of a serious hand injury.

The Phantom has a design flaw in the plastic motor mount. I have described my solution, others have purchased a special machined metal mount.

I now have mounted a large enough motor (Turnigy aerodrive 3536/8). I could not fly today because while fiddling with a folding propellor I broke a collet which jammed on the motor shaft and I am now awaiting a special pinion removal tool to change the broken collet. Folding propellors require special fore and aft plates in pushers and there is a link to an article about them. I am going to try my phantom out using a standard 2 blade propellor (10x45) - maybe later I will reconsider a folder.

For good info on wings and fpv check out:
