Jason, When you buddy, it doesn't matter what modes the radios are. When you buddy, you can't mix brands as the transmission protocols are different. The only option in that situation is the club t...

Well, I am going with Jonathan simply because he wants the same radio as the one I have. I could hardly criticise such taste. It's a great radio and good to see it has the charger. Mine didn't. I char...

Hmm... Waiting for Panspermian to chime in here.

I think either is fine personally. There are bind n fly kits out there that come with Spektrum receivers preinstalled that requires a Futaba user (me) to remove and replace ($). I bought Futaba as I ...

Today... In my lounge room. :).

For those that head to PEMAC, I don't think that is gonna be a good idea. Richmond and Windsor bridges are expected to close tomorrow arvo with the Nepean at 5.5 metres now that Warragamba is discharg...

This is a real fighter jet. In scale terms, this is the best low pass photo I have seen. http://www.fiddlersgreen.net/aircraft/Sukhoi-Su27/IMAGES/Sukhoi-Su27-Lowflying.jpg

planning to blow the clouds away?

You got to laugh at the translation engine outputs... "We are watching used on the rule of a second I'm not sure whether, in which the accuracy and cut off halal". Is that what you meant?

So they were take off attempts right?

Maybe the tree stump has moved on.

Nice edit. No Yak splat.

So when does the Habu get some distance under the wings and terra firma?

Chris mowed the strip the other day so it is nicely cut. The ground is still soft (but not wet) re runway. The drive down ramp is fine but the field where we drive is pretty well soaked. I think to c...

I got me the Nimbus too around 1975. It looked so cool and I was so impressed with my new balsa skills that I must have admired the bare frame for days. I had it with me on the lounge. My younger s...

Runway mowed this morning by Jason and Wayne. Weather great. Quite a few guys here already. Looking like a nice day apart from the inescapable damp ground underfoot. Expect to walk in though.

Doing electrical work again. Hate these freebies my wife puts me down for. Tomorrow morning seems ok but forecast suggests storms in the arvo. What a novelty they would be since we haven't seen rain ...

I actually know Marco. I watched him fly many a weekend down at SSSFA. He had a Logo 600 too. A really nice guy and one of the best RC heli pilots in the country. A bit hard core here but he is an ult...

Mick, Be careful. Julia tells porkies.

I must say, the new (temp) strip position seems quite resilient.. and it certainly has been put to the test!

Que diable sont vous guy de parler en français? Nous ne pouvons pas comprendre que vous.

Frank, there is such a plane in real life. It's not the Chinese thinking of a new model name. http://www.aviationtrivia.info/images/rare_bear.jpg

Good onya Mick. My first planes were scratch built (nothing like this though). Didn't even know about RC at the time. BNF and PNP have bypassed the art of building one's own plane. I dips my lid to ya...

I am a bit troubled. If there is no-one to open the gates as they are keen to fly elsewhere, I might reconsider my intentions. Is anyone planning to open up and fly at McCoy?

Did you dial in some expo BB?

"Heaps of admiration for your work Jason..." I think you mean Mick! Too many M&M's there Wayne.

I saw that video about two years ago. Mighty fast planes.

i might get there a bit earlier with the mower.

Now you know why he said it was fantastic :shock:

Interesting day Saturday Rob. BB looped the Airwolf. Cool as a cucumber he was. Kieran maidened your Spitty Sunday. I picked it as a cherry flight (psychic I am). Kieran did a superb job flying it M1...

... and you didn't even know !!

Hilarious! I always wondered about the turbo entabulator's influence on the sinusoidal dingle arm in Logo's power train. Now I know! :).

So tomorrow is looking like it's not going to happen?

Is that your garage or do you have a super cool boss at work that is in to RC planes?

Flame suit on - it's 37 deg C in Melbourne. Melbourne and Sydney seem to be opposite in weather. Those pictures are quite disheartening considering the fine tuning planned this weekend for A-Day.

ha, ha. Good one Wayne.

Thanks!

My mower is in at the mower doctors for a quote on a makeover.

Top stuff BB.

Great news Steve. That means that although the water covered the new strip around the top soil fill, the water couldn't have been flowing fast enough/long enough to wash it away. That brings new confi...

must have been a wiring connection? Perplexing but it seems sorted eh?

Hey, you nicked my plane? Or am I seeing double?

Interesting issue with the gear. Nicely done with the test flight there BB.

I'm there tomorrow. I'll check the thread for first arrival time. Willy shows the wind at 3km/h in the morning.
