Hi fellow clubbers, Has anyone got a Dremel tool? I bought a new Scorpion motor for the new heli and the shaft is about 10mm too long. Missed a critical dimension. Shaft is 6mm dia so perhaps a ...

Shopping day today... Update 6/4/2011... Kontronic Jive 80+HV & heatsink (mega powerful) - ** ARRIVED ** 623mm FBL CF main blades + 95mm CF tail blades by "Edge" - ** ARRIVED ** Scorpion HKIII...

The rotor head was a breeze to put together. Large, strong plastic grips (for weight saving I presume) with high quality CNC machined components made life easy. This head is for flybarless configurati...

Andrew - thanks. "Baby" arrived last Monday. Picked it up whilst in Melb. Kizza - yes, belt drive. The only option on the Mikado helis. Prefer TT but there isn't a choice. Just need to look up a...

I have been considering my next addition to the fleet. I have now placed on order a Mikado Logo 600. The Trex500 FBL is flying absolutely fantastic but I have fancied a larger heli for some time. Had...

Happened to be driving past the field this morning. Took a few photos. The field is looking good and driving in and out is not a problem. Grass still nice and probably doesn't need a haircut just yet....

Check to see if the throttle is not reversed in your radio. If it is working back to front, you will go nuts trying to go through the sequences.

Just an idea Paul (as I don't have two sims to play with)... It could be the display zoom or the sound or both that might make it seem slower. What if you choose the display panel that shows altitude...

I dont need a runway so provided the sun is out, the weekend is looking good for me (sorry, wrong thread!) :D

I will be there. Even if I have to walk in. And on Sunday too. Only mother nature can stop me... and that could be possible... but I will be there if MN holds out.

Thought I would post some video of FAI F3C flying. I think there is a view that advanced heli pilots thrash their machines around like mosquitos sprayed with poison. Not so. There is more to flying he...

Hi guys, I created this new thread so you post re on-line sessions at PRCAC no.2 On now myself. Just look for PRCAC.

No worries Steve. No harm done. It will just cost you one case of Belgium's finest. You will have to take your share of that punishment as well (ha, ha). It would have been a lot worse if I had I "nud...

I will be there around 8am. Weather forecast seems ok http://www.weatherzone.com.au/nsw/sydney/seven-hills (until they change it). Warmer than today, 20% chance of rain and very low winds.

Very nicely done. I like the unforgiving runways. Roll off the edge and "crunch". Better than the Phoenix runways which allow you to miss without consequences.

That looks absolutely awesome.

There was a fly-in at Blacktown club 26-27 Feb but that was for helis. Seems there is another one in March but you have to look hard to find any details on-line. I kept getting hits on Google for the ...
