Well Steve.... balls in your court mate. Jason dosen't want the Sukhoi... are you intersted in the swap I mentioned

I would be the first person to recommend improving ones skills by flying in a good breeze from time to time. Flying in the wind is not really an issue at all provided your aircraft has a better than a...

Probably a good idea to bring a shovel or even better a matic, along with your wellies. I will wait to have a look at the conditions in the morning. If it is still enough, early. I will throw a plan...

Only guys I know that do FMS are those F**ken Wan**rs in Queensland, and you don't even want to think about dealing with them.

Don't get me started!!!!!!

I dont think Telemetry is a "must have" item for anyone apart from the guys that do FPV. You don't need to know how high you are, that just comes with experience. Where you are in the sky is as you ...

Welcome home Kev! We missed you.... and Steve is happy your back.

Thats terrific Andrew..... but now you've got me interested! Where the hell is the rest of it?

Thats the other great thing about Hot glue, Ben. You can fly your plane 5 minutes after you have finished repairing it!

Yes George, Lookin good! But do me a favour and paint that bloody spinner. Mine was red too. Now its black. Although I am thinking about painting it chrome, to make it look "fully sick" bro.

Not really an Airshow but Mark from PEMAC has just let me know that a a Caribou from HARS will be doing a fly over of Springwood this Sunday at 11.30 for this years Vietnam Rememberance day. If you h...

Maiden flight report Take 2 (sort of) With the new OS motor ready for action I headed out to PEMAC for some flight testing. The difference in throttle response between the Hacker and the OS is huge....

Its definately better than the Hacker A50-14 but cant really be compared to the 50-16 because it has a much higher kv. So it's sort of on the middle but not....if you get my drift.

Sorry Ben, Unfortunatley I am rarely if ever available during the week. Super Steve may be able to help, but you will have to wait for his reply, Everbody else has real jobs! Then again John H is a...

This thread is getting way off topic! Gentlemen please try to keep discussion in line with the thread. If you want to discuss something completely different then please open a new thread!

Yes I have to agree .... never thought of that! Very clever thinking Ron. I'd be guessing but I don't think anyone has launched an aircraft of that type like that before. Gotta be a first. Go Ron, G...

Happy to help out with a PEMAC visit George. You will want to fly it in some space first, It is very fast on approach even with full flaps and flying it slower than you think you should be. I have h...

I'm happy to talk you through a flight at McCoy George, but in all sincerity I wouldn't fly it there until you have a few flights under your belt and are comforable with the beastie at a place where a...

Seriously Ben You will never look back if you buy a Trojan, they are an outstanding aircraft for improving your skills, and not only that, they are a Shit load of fun to fly. Gazz

You D man Claudio, I would love to be there for your maiden attempt at a vertical landing. But knowing you and your electronic wizzardry, you will probably have 3 kg of electronics,15 gyros all cross ...

I will have to write a nice message to Santa, hopefully the fat bastard doesn't forget me this year.

Is that Joe Satriani in the background?

I am opening up this morning around 8am.

Lucky you were wearing my kevlar plated gum boots then, aren't you Arron?

Now you have watched it once. Watch it again and look at the wing loading at the extremities of the screen. Really hope for the planes sake that they will put up with that sort of abuse for a long tim...

I'm a country boy and grew up in the bush. Ive killed more snakes than most people have had hot dinners, they are very dangerous and deserve more than a considerable amount of respect. All the cauti...

Hey George. Sorry I had to leave in such a hurry on Sunday, I wanted to help with your trials but got called away. How did your testing go?

Hey Steve I'm feeling generous and since I will be picking up my new Sukhoi in 2 weeks would you like to do a straight swap, my old one for the Striker frame? I will even drop it over to your place...

Mate Mate Mate Mate MATE!!! Don't change a bloody thing. That is brilliant! Very Very impressed with the editing and the choise of music. Well done My only suggestion would be to make it about 10 ...

Will do mate. You are right, I do have an amp tester with 4 mm bullets and if the weather permits I may be heading out west. I will let you know Friday night. Gazz

Keep circling Claudio. If Steve doesn't want it, you can have it for $80. But wait there's more ......... If you ring now ..........we'll even through in a set of Steak knives ............

I wasn't planning on shoving it in the bin. It can sit and wait for as long as it takes for me to get the time to fix it. But I need the space ..... its not a small plane you know! besides that ... i...

I can't promiss anything, but if work commitments allow, I'll be there to give you guys a hand. I will pack my mower in the van Friday morning so I can come straight from work. Gazz

Ben There are 2 major ways to charge your batteries... If you select Fast charge or Charge then the only plug you need to plug in is your Deans /ET60, etc. Select the Lipo cell number and the amp ...

Hey Steve You D Man!!!! I guess I wont need to pack my mower tomorrow then eh?

If you charge at 1C you are charging at the rated amperage of the battery eg: 2200 mAh battery charged at 2.2 amps If you charge at 2C then a 2200 mAh battery would be charged at 4.4 amps. Some bat...

Hi Kev How the F##k are ya champ. Steve ordered a few from the States for us. One for him and one for me, they are the old Stykers, Nobody imports them here anymore and I wanted one, so Steve found a...

Hi George The weekend weather is looking good but the wind is a bit of a concern Saturday morning wind 15 to 20 ks south west increasing in the afternoon 30 to 45 ks Sunday morning 20 to 30 ks easi...

Hi Men Model flight has a Dualsky Motor sale on, so If you have been putting off buying that big motor dont miss this! Pricing is up to 70% off. FOR THE NEXT 48 HOURS ONLY... Dualsky Power ...

Just a quick point for anyone not used to using EXPO or setting it up for the first time. Make sure thet you dial in posative 20% and not negative 20% or you will be making the aircraft more sensati...

High or low frequency? Thats a tough one but we have to draw a line in the sand somewhere and 80 dBA is the agreed value as it complies with noise regulations. So at the end of the day it really does...

Thanks for the heads up BB, thouroughly enjoyed the presentation. Really nice to get an insite into the actual work that goes into making one of these beautiful aircraft.

Ive been looking at that very bird for quite some time George. It is very high on my list of " Iv'e gotta get me one of those". Twin Changesun 90's with Warhead 1850 motors running on a pair of 5000...

That is a very nice looking lady mate. Can I have some spec's please? Is it composite? And where the hell do you get one from?

I will be flying Saturday this weekend... the wind is not looking to great at this stage but I have a family function on Sunday, so if you want to come to Penrith Saturday ..... Sweet, happy to take y...

Forgot all about this different insurance stuff, sorry mate. Until MOP 57 is sorted, you can't fly at Penrith. I don't like to look of the weather at this stage either, "It's blowing a friggen gale" s...

Sweet ...... thats a good idea, I couldn't be stuffed driving all the way out there with the weather so unpredictable.... I think I will fly at McCoy!

She should join our club. We could put her in charge of new pilot training.:D:thumbup::D:thumbup::D:thumbup:
