On This Day 100 yrs ago in 1918 21st April, the Red Baron Baron Manfred Von Richthofen was shot down and eventually died from the gun shot wound by an Australian machine gunner with his Lewis machine gun.
It has been documented that 2 other Australians and a Canadian pilot claimed to have shot down The Red Baron.
Hey Guys,
The Australian Drone Racing Open is on this weekend out at Mowbray Park Farm in Picton. Informal and open flying activities start tomorrow and qualifying on Saturday. The real action happens between 11:00-15:30 on Sunday (including a freestyle acro comp).
The AO attracts promising pilots from across Australia. Many will be camping at or taking advantage of accommodation facilities at the host location. Dave Purebred has worked hard to make this year bigger and better than last. It should be a good weekend and great atmosphere.
Anyone interested in entering should click here and login in order to register.
A weekend of flying at Marulan probably one of the nicest private flying fields in NSW. The field is open for general flying and practice Friday 20 Saturday 21st and racing Sunday 22nd
Come along bring anything to fly. There will be rare bear and efx racing as well as other classes join in and check it out!!
Marulan is the home field of Sydney Uni’s pioneering UAV team. “The Australian centre for field robotics” These guys we’re flying large UAVs more than 20 years ago and carry on the fine tradition of Australian unmanned aviation. You never know what you might see them up to if you turn up early on Friday.
Once when I was there I saw a UAV flying powered with a hydrogen fuel cell. I believe it was the first such powered fixed wing in Australia. Amongst many other achievements ACFR were the first people in the world to achieve air to air docking of two fixed wing UAVs. I was fortunate enough to watch some of the testflying and development of these machines and even flew got to fly one in manual mode on one occasion.
Most impressively they are a great bunch of guys, like most aeromodelers, friendly humble and welcoming it will be a weekend to remember. If you can possibly make it do come along. There is accomodation available at the field for a very small fee.
Ask SRL what it’s like he’s been there many times.
Selling my eachine racer and racer 250. Though both used and seen some damage, both still fly fine.
The Eachine Racer is a beginner racing quad 250 size. It was my first and is 2-3S, you can even put a 2200 3s on it. Has cc3d board using Libre pilot. Has spares including a used frame which incorporates the PDB (Power distribution), though missing some caps, no biggie. I have refitted caps on the main and a torrid to get clean video.
Spares: frame, arms, CC3D FC (not sure it works), box of props, bits and pieces
The Eachine racer 250 pro is a different frame and takes 3s-4s... much more zippy, has an F3 board with cleanflight, uses the same arms and vtx as the normal 250. Needs aerial to be resoldered onto vtx, I can do it if you need, but recommend a pigtail be fitted
Spares: Includes two spare ESC's, same arms VTX and camera as above
Both quads are fitted with frsky receivers, XM I think? (no telemetry)
I have had a lot of fun with these and taught me about quads, these will suit a beginner wanting to ease into quad flying. Biggest issue I have had with these is the aerial breaking off the vtx, I just started soldering the aerial straight to the board... i would recommend the new owner to get a pigtail and connect aerial to the frame to stop this happening. Also the vtx on the std racer has lost its very simple OSD, not a big issue still works for FPV.
I am selling as I have moved onto self-built higher performance 210s, and these wont get flown much more now.
$100
These are no longer sold by bangood, but they still sell all the spare parts, here are some listings.

All this for $150!!!

Benefit from my lack of spare time with these 2 450-size R/C helis in good condition. An absolute plethora of spare parts comes with them including a carry case for 1. The carry case on its own cost me about $65.
One is a genuine EFlite (Horizon Hobby) Blade 400 and the other is a HobbyKing Trex 450v2 alloy (clone of the Trex 450v2). The HK Trex clone has top quality metal geared servos including an INO-LAB tail servo which on its own cost about $35.
I was over-obsessed with having spares (like with my planes and multirotors), so there's an absolute plethora of spares for each heli including main gear, tail gear, booms, spare canopy, gyros, motor (for the HK), rotor heads, blades, frame parts - you name it, it's probably in there. Most are still in their packets as you can see from the photos.
Priced for quick sale, pickup only and I don't want to separate these. Buy all or none, thanks.
I take PayPal and cash. SMS or call me on 04*00 26*5 80*7 or PM me here.
SOLD. Sorry Dirk. You missed by 15 minutes mate... Sorry.
The man cave is chockers with all of my planes and drones and I just don't get down to the field any more. So feel free to benefit from my space problems... I am selling:
1. Durafly Trojan
This was my favourite fixed-wing. It's got retracts. It's got flaps. It's fast but flies really nicely with the flaps down too. It handles beautifully. Beats the hell out of the Parkzone competitors. Those who remember me from the days I flew at the club would remember this plane...
I've replaced the servos with metal-geared servos for improved performance and reliability. The front landing gear has the metal trunnion mod for much more rugged performance.
2. Durafly Mustang "Old Crow"
Great, quick plane. Flies on 3S and 4S. It's got flaps and retracts. This one needs some work which is why it's cheap. I wrote off my original Mustang on the power lines but one of the members (Chris McCarthy) kindly sold his fuse/wing to me, so I'm combining all the parts here.
I've also got a heap of spares to go with these planes.
- Wing and h/stab for the Mustang (brand new, these used to cost a fortune in freight from HobbyKing)
- Several sets of landing gear and brand new retracts
- Spare wheels including foam ones
- Spare Mustang canopy
- 4 x spare Trojan props, 2 of which are new
- 1 new Mustang prop and 3 2-bladed ones
- 1 new T-28 nose cone
- Plus the bits you see in the pictures - motors, gear bays, firewalls, spinners, all sorts of stuff. I might even have some spare servo's for the Mustang.
I need to sell these soon as I desperately need the room. Asking $200 for the lot. Located in Croydon Park (near Ashfield/Strathfield/Burwood).
Phone 0400 265 807 (Simon) Any questions? Give me a buzz.

G'day all,
Please be advised that (weather permitting) we will be hosting the second round of the summer fpv drone racing series at the PRCAC field at McCoy Park on Sunday the 3rd of December (Sunday week).
Normal club flying operations will be suspended and replaced by a series of organised heats which will run throughout the day from 9am in the morning until approximately 4pm in the afternoon. Click here for more information.
I expect that we will have at least a few PRCAC members competing at this event. Anyone with even a small interest in fpv or quad racing is encouraged to come down and check it out. These event attract upwards of 30 active pilots and their friends, every one is really friendly and it is a great way to learn more about the hobby.
Thanks,
Jason
Hi everyone, my apprentice s15e arrived with an 11.1v 3 cell LIPO charger, but no power supply. Do you have any recommendations?
