Hi all, looking to get back into flying RC aircraft after a long absence (and if today's simulator performance is anything to go by, I'm starting as a newbie :shock: ) Made it down to the field ...

Was heading to the field on Sunday around 9:30am, but bailed when the wind and rain started in at my place (and continued on/off very lightly for much of the rest of the day.) Was anyone down at the ...

Not the most successful weekend for me I'm afraid... Friday evening saw my T-28 ultra micro flying backwards out of the park when the wind picked up shortly after take-off (eventually recovered after...

Anyone keen on a fly at the virtual field tonight? Say 7:30 - 9pm?

Hi all, just wanted to put a call out to see if any of the experienced builders in the club would be interesting in hosting the odd "build" session for newbies like me - perhaps of a night after wo...

I don't know if it's convention or not, but I like to start with all switches facing away from me (flaps up), and switch "down" for flaps so that the position of the switch mimics the surface. Don't ...

Anyone interested in meeting up for a fly tomorrow (Wed) morning?
