Terriffic news John I'm building a Hanger 9 P51 D 150, it is ARF but will go close to 8kgs when its done, so you can get your pencil ready to tick a few boxes for me.

Anyone thinking about flying today be mindful of the heavy rain we have had and only drive in if the field condition is suitable for vehicles.

Bad news tax dodgers, the Hanger 9 Blue Nose P51 that I ordered a month ago dissapeared in transit and the Australian warehouse is out of stock until late January. So after some swearing followed by s...

Naaa... don't sweat mate... it will be sweet!

Post if you are definatley flying tomorrow afternoon Jason, I will come and join you if the weather is OK.

Yes me to mate, but there must be a reason for it... what sort of technology are Kontronic using that gives them the edge in reliability... you certainly pay for it, I've been looking at an 80amp ESC ...

What is really interesting is that the best ESC's that money can buy... Kontronic... build ESC's for up to 12S and come with built in BEC's, I know some of the best pilots that use Kontronic and they...

Hey Kev I'm back..... Droped into Hobbies in the Hills this afternoon to make a payment on my Big Mustang and surprise, surprise they had a Seagull 46 PC9 on the shelf, and as you would expect... I b...

Here we go again...Warm up the Tele and cool the tinnies!

Here is a nice one Wayne, although it might be a a touch bigger than you want http://www.hangar-9.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=HAN5170 This one is probably a little more realistic, even thou...

Hey Drew have you joined a club down there. I hope you have because the next time I drop by Adelaide I expect to be flying as a guest at your club... Great to here from you mate! Keep us posted on t...

I have experimented with just about every possible aileron attitude change you could make to a PZ T28, just because I could because it's such a stable predictablel platform. I agree with all of the a...

The field is fine Steve, I just got home from a few hours at McKoy... its still a little damp at the top end but overall its sweet as!

I might drop down for a fly this afternoon but will probably be flying out west tomorrow.

Well men its 11pm and its still fallin down quite heavily... I think you will find that these particular clouds are actually Cumulus Pissinonus... recon its gonna rain till the morning ... recon you c...

Its supposed to be raining and as windy as crap tomorrow morning mate... so I will probably give the flying a miss tomorrow and fly Sunday instead... but as always will watch the sky ...

That would be a great plane for training people to go from beginner to sports. I think it would be even better if you ran it on 4S, but you would want to put a decent spar in the wing if you were goin...

Did anyone drop by the field today and see how it faired after this morning downpour? I was going to stop by this afternoon for another few flights with the new Seb but it was blowing more than I l...

Maidened the new beastie this afternoon. Surprise surprise... it was on rails although it felt a little tail heavy... great for 3D but a little to taily for my liking. I replaced my prop, down f...

Nice work George..... Pretty impressed with those brakes ... they work well ...Dooh!!!

Hey Rob The short answer is .... nothing..... or to be correct "not a lot". The last one lasted 4 years ..... and I didn't exactly take it easy on the airframe. I suspect it was a micro failure in...

Yes mate, everything is exactly the same... no reason to fiddle with perfection!

This isn't really a new thread but seeing that my oldest and most favorite plane died about 6 weeks ago..... It had to be replaced.... enter Sukhoi V2. Apart from the different colour, which I think...

I droped by the field today on the way home from work to check out how the strip faired after last nights deluge, because I wanted to maiden my new Sukhoi 50. I am happy to report that although the s...

Something else to think about ... when it comes to storage and charging of Lipo's When you purchase a brand new Lipo.... what is its charge state..... They are all delivered with a base charge of 3.8...

Well done mate, you need to get that C of G sorted though!. Mine flew straight and level with no trim required at all. Glad you had a sucssesful first flight.

Recent literature released on Nanotech,s specifically suggests charging only prior to flight to get any longevity out of them. If you leave Nano,s for any period of time with a full charge you will re...

Looks like a man with serious electrical issues!

If I do fly Sunday it will only be for an hour or 2, I didn't quite get my new Sukhoi 50 finished so I might drop by the field tomorrow for a quick flight.

A couple of old classiscs:- Following the recent tragic death of the Human Cannonball at the Kent Show, a spokesman said "We'll struggle to get another man of the same calibre." Two blondes wal...

No problem...I must be getting old (Like you Steve) I mowed the runway, Taxiway and then took the top off the area between the heli area, runway and taxiway because it was getting a little feral, it w...

Well done Frank, looks like your on top of that little sucker.

Field is mowed and ready for action. See you all bright and early tomorrow. Gazz

Crack yourself up Dave....... Typical bloody Futaba pilots!!!

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

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!

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...

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...

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?

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...

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.

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...

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...
