Of course it would.... right up until the foam caught fire.... then it would be anything but cool............ get it! Looks like a sweet ride though Steve.... its on my HK wishlist already[hr] S...

Welcome to the vortex that is ................RC flight............... now your bank balance will be zero

Steve How thick are the sheets of EPP?

I think its a good idea to walk in this weekend, so we dont destroy the entrance. I will not be flying tomorrow, the wind will be crap. I will probably go out to PEMAC Sunday.

Dont fancy your chances Steve Forcast is for morning winds from 30 to 45 k's abating to 20 k's in the afternoon.

Yes I agree Steve. It would appear that the drain cleaning done by Chris and the brush cutting is helping with the field drainage. I was quite surprised that the strip had recovered as well as it has...

She'll be right mate if ya can't handle the heat, stay out of the sauna, or so they say. I will be flying at McCoy tomorrow if the weather is ok. I will post in the morning.

That is massive Claudio, If you need a little assistance with the glass work I am happy to point you in the right direction.

Arron make up a new firewall (or front plate) out of some 2mm carbon fibre sheet or something similar and epoxy it on to the fusalage with the stuff the Turbine guys use (I'm pretty sure Darren can he...

Thats a pretty 3D monster you got there Wayne. The 3S package with surfice at your current skill level, 4S would probably be a little to "on the edge of out of control", but you can certainly grow in...

Oh come on Jason! Your just not trying hard enough, its easy to crash 3D planes. All you have to do is try a simple 3D manouver way to close to the ground and fly outside your comfort zone, or try do...

Yet at the field most people charge their batteries on the top of their cars engine right beside a petrol fuel source - something to think about!:D

Im heading down to check it out shortly. Dosn't look very promissing thought.:thumbdown:

I actually did have 45 minutes to burn, thanks for sharing that Kieran, being an engineer I loved listening to the guys explain exactly what was going on. Aren't the mathematics involved beyond cool!

Rob, I am happy to give you a hand if you need to re learn to fly, you may need to introduce yourself though, not sure if I can remember what you look like.:rofl:

Always happy to help my friend!

I don't like cats...... but thats just sick!!!!!

They actually released 3 of them. 101 Uses for a Dead Cat 101 More Uses for a Dead Cat .....and 101 Uses of a Dead Cat in History. I know because I used to have all 3 of them they even released a...

OK.... Its been some time since I destroyed my beloved Seagull PC9 due to an ERROR IN JUDGEMENT while turning on crosswind after another enjoyable flight (all the hardware survived but the airframe wa...

Yes I have to agree with you there Jason. Do you know whats more fun than spinning a cat around tied to a clothes line? Stopping it with a shovel!

Sorry to rain on your parade Steve, but since leaving school you could count the novels Iv'e read on one hand, hate fiction, love Science fiction but mostly read stuff that I can learn from, if it dos...

There sure is Steve, but good luck with the shootin down shit champ. To shoot someone down you actually have to be able to keep up with them, don't fancy your chances, and now you have given me the h...

There's nothing secret about them, they are probably on par with the high end Scorpions, they are just very powerful and are close to indestructable.... oh yeh... almost forgot... they are made in Ger...

This particular Hacker is the motor I was running in my Seb Art Katana 50. I was spinning a 16 x 8 in that through the same 80 amp Dualsky ESC powered by a Flightpower 6S 5000mah 30C battery and the ...

Field condition is not the best due to the rain all week, and I'm not a big fan of walking in, so I will be heading out to PEMAC bright and early tomorrow, so I hope someone else can open up tomorrow ...

Yes I'd have to agree that the terrific dubbing made the video, Great choise of music.... Loved it!

I will be at the front gate at 8.30, hope to see you there.

Penrith buddy.

Nice pics George! That servo looks like a good replacement for the rudder, probably got a lot more torque than you need but better to stong than to weak.

They are pretty spectacular, I think they would also be a great aircraft performance tuning tool.

If the weather is good ... will wait and have a look in the morning.... I will be flying at PEMAC.

You should be able to reload it from here Victor. Just Download and extract to your Programs Folder, Phoenix Folder,Resources, enviroment. http://www.datafilehost.com/download-f36c9b65.html C...

You do realise that the maximum current for the Warhead is 80 amps dont you Steve? I did a 6S full throttle burst during testing and it was over 100 amps. I dont fancy your motor's chances of any lon...

Always great to here when a maiden goes without a hitch and youve got a smile from ear to ear. Well done.

There are way to may variables to even think about a simple answer to that one George. A lot of manufacturers supply stall torques. But the load on your servos changes every second you are in the air...

I have already finished hinging all the control surfaces and the biggest modification necessary and thats the complete redisigning of the back of the front retract bay to install a battery carrier. N...

8S at 295kv. You will have a heap more power than me champ, plus a lot more unusable weight. I will be running my beastie on a maximum of 6S maybe even only 5S The only issue I can see with running ...

Look forward to your In flight test specs my Ballistic friend. "Go Vertical or Go home"

Most of the guys flying these with electric conversions are running 50 size motors 5S 550kv or 6S 400kv or there abouts. The tried and true Watts equation says we need a minimum of 1100 watts (workin...

What MOD ?? do they need Steve.

You can almost smell the kero - NOT!

Me too..... Its always nice to have a big chunky power supply in your pocket. And maybe then I could switch off the battery charger that has been running non stop in my garage for 2 years.

That looks like the ticket George. I spent last night doing a heap of static tests with various motors I have from previous aircraft that need new homes in a vice on my work bench. I used a 14 x 10 ...

Hey Owen. Hippo Birdie 2 U.

Just tested the 15 x 10 APC on 6S 1140 Watts at 48 Amps, I think that will be sweet. Here is a link to some valuable info on your electric modification http://www.jperkinsdistribution.co.uk/downloa...

Has anyone droped by the field and had a look at its condition. Ive beeen flat out all week and haven't had a chance, It will probably need mowing, I know it grows slowly this time of year but we hav...

Yep thanks for the update Chris. Sad news.... looks like its another drive to PEMAC.

Hi Dennis. What's your ETA Sunday? I have a bit on but would like to pick mine up personally and say thanks.

Happy birthday mate. Good to see you are keeping up with me.

Thanks for the update Steve, all be it sad news!
