Just a little something that I thought you guys might like to share. When I was in Norway last year, and passing through Bodø, I dropped into the aviation museum there. Here is some of the photos. ...

So, not to be waiting for the bits to fix the Stinson to arrive, I decided to get something else tame to keep in the air when ever possible... So I picked up one of these today. Not a bad build up,...

There was discussion today about external BEC's, so I thought I'd share this article I wrote for Crawl Australia/New Zealand. Even though it's based on surface application, the process and requirement...

Ok, this might be mentioned somewhere that I failed to find, or, I could of emailed the club email, but since I couldn't find it I thought it might be better to make a visible thread for others to ref...

:tounge:

Hey guys, I haven't been down the shop since it became Hobbyking. Do they still do over the counter sales?. I can't find any info on opening times anymore. I was looking at heading down there satu...

A little mod that my best bud Philbo made, and I thought I'd share it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6SiDmVPBnY&feature=plcp

Looks nice, and 1 metre planes are convenient if you don't have a van, as I know now. A pair of 1200kv Power 25 racers should sort her out nicely :P

Yeah, been thinking too... This is the little guy I want to try. I know one of Chook's mates has one but looking isn't enough sometimes :tounge: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/catalog/283...

I have one of those Aerodrive motors (1050kv) in a rc Pajero. It's a torque monster for certain. Nicely finished, too.

Ok, I'll chime in here. I bought a Delta Ray this year just to test, to advise.... .... and I will advise NO! Simple reason: Underpowered. Tiny brushed motors and 2S/7.4v power is just en...

Ah, much better... Bodø only had a little cafeteria with 3 different brands of orange fizz in the fridge and an overpriced hedgehog that wifey and I split :lol:

Was lucky enough to see that fly today, as I said to you Gaz, looks a treat.

Wayne, I too have been searching for the origin of design of this model, and I think I found it. There is a stunt team in the US who have a 1940 Stearman that has had an oversized P&W engine (along...

Good news Wayne!

Most ESC's (well everyone I have encountered) have an onboard BEC. But, this is ususally limited to 1 to 3 amps, depending on the size and application of the ESC. Your average 35A ESC is good for 4 HS...

Likey muchly

Schweet. Shame my trainer has no wheels :mad: For now :lol:

Bit soggy.

Bum

Ok, might appear after lunch. Looked outside at 7ish and gave up on the concept.

Yes, thanks guys. Appreciated. Beginning to charge and load the car now. Planning a big one. Normal two stints with the Devil, put a couple of packs trough the little Piper Archer and if it lasts tha...

Very soggy at the moment.

Pretty much. Being reserved in my commenting here, because it is the public facing side of the forum.....

Thanks guys.

I don't know... but I might have to strap those 25 size floats to my Funjet.

Shame my little seaplane is on it's way to Antartica :upset:

Hmmm. Seems legit. Loch McCoy Monster. I know a cryptozoologist that might pitch a base camp in the park if he sees this.

I'm a mode 1 lefty... and I can't hand launch to save myself. Even if that unlikely situation should ever arise.

Happy travellings John, may the skies be clear of buckshot and your final approaches avoid the cow pats.

On the upside, I taught myself how to knife edge in theory, on the sim

Thanks guys for the repair work. Sorry I could not be around this week end, nor the following two.

That's the new fella's - Chook or one of his mates, nosed in there a month ago.

Had to be done....

That's a big birdy. They might of well just put the horizontal stabilisers on pivots, there is only enough of them left to mount the elevator hinges to :leet:

Double impressive.... :shock: I was unaware of that plan B, Gaz... ... and please don't tell me the asking price for that Deuce's Wild, or I'll have another carrot sitting in the corner of my back ...

HNY ... :p

I checked the link back, that will be a lovely little plane. Watching how this happens. I don't want to threadjack, but I've collected a couple of larger fasty pasties over the last year. More for ...

I'll have miss this one, Jason, I'll be away again. The Cassutt is ready to go when ever I'm feeling game, but the Pogo needs some work. I set it up to run the milder Power 15 sports configuration, bu...

But yes... running that kind of current, an opti-esc would be more ... suitable.

Oh, that is a pretty little thing. Love a nice prop plane that's out of the normal. Looking forward to seeing it at the field.

Yep, closed for good. Discussions were had about online shopping, but inevitably any retailer with a shop front should be paying GST and the flow on from import duties so it's practically impossibl...

Thanks Gaz. Pm'mn

Are we going to be blessed with it's presence on Saturday? I will bring a proper video camera this week.

I'll be along, all going to plan and don't get lost... if I am allowed, not having my bronze? Can someone please clear that up so I know whether to come up or not?
