Once again, a big thanks on behalf of the club for the effort put in this afternoon by Steve M and Steven L. Well done guys.

Thats a great tip Jason...... All you novice 3D pilots take note. This is the best way to tune you aircraft for well balanced 3D flight.

Go Steve, you D man!!!!!

Hope you both had a great day!!!! Yes! you too Rob you strange man !!! Looking forward to catching up down at the field some century soon, do you remember how to fly???????

What is the Raptors length & wing span and is there enough room in the fuse for 2 separate batteries plus electronics?

Ben Dave pointed out a number of very important issues. The most important being, crashing a sim maters not. Crashing the real thing.......Big difference....... HUGE!!!!! It is great to learn the ...

Large aircraft will run 2 channels for ailerons, 2 for flaps, 2 for elevator, 1 for rudder at least 2 for retracts plus emergency shut downs for I/C's and even more for turbines. Some people have air...

I began flying 4 yeras ago and bought a new DX6i, I replaced it about 12 months ago with a JR11X Zero only beacuse I wanted a radio with more channels as my skills and aircraft size and complexity inc...

I was planning on being at the field first thing tomorrow but got a late call and have to work early so I wont be there till late morning.

Nice work Steve (and Owen) Appreciate the effort

Thanks for the offer John, watch the forum to see when we agree to hit the field.

I think the later in the week we leave it the better. You know .... let the big white ball give the field a good burn, Thursday afternoon or Friday morning at a Sparrows fart.

Your dead right there sport, and I think after a week like this we could be in a good position to recover even more of our field with another team mower attack Friday afternoon. Anyone..... anyone......

Dont think so mate. The Stand alone BEC sends the throttle signal to the stand alone ESC. If you had another ESC with a built in BEC in the loop then you would not have any throttle signal to your 12...

Thanks Steve Here is the Eflite link. The Retracts page will access the different sizes but click on the manual in blue middle right screen and you will get a drawing with specs so you can work out...

Big thank you to Jason and Steve (samste) for helping mow the field this afternoon. Between the 3 of us we got the entire area (strip, taxiway, heli area and pits) mowed to a pretty good and usable st...

WELCOME TO WATER WORLD, Yes folks, I have shoved one up the peverbial weather gods arses by purchasing a magic HK seaplane. Took the Icon A5 up this arvo after work at Putney on the Parramatta riv...

As Kieran said, your plugs are a personal choise thing. And I personally think Deans are crap. I use bullets on everything because they are so easy to solder and the design assures you will NEVER ge...

You guys are no help. I guess I will work it out for myself, but I think that axial thrust shoud be on the money!

Thats a good idea Angus but what you have to careful of is the servo mounting!!! If you are using the same brand/model servos with a Y lead to will still need a servo reverser as they will be workin...

Hey Steve When you mounted the fan on the back of the Stryker did you angle it down and to the right or up and to the left?

U d man Jas.... U d man !~!

Have a great birthday mate. Hope you get some cool presies. (Aircraft ...of course)

Yeh thanks Claudio, seen most of the vids. HK make 2 of these, the small one is about 1100mm wing, mine is the big one at 1800mm The one Parkzone does is in the middle at about 1400mm.

No mate, the vindictive pricks (the weather gods), will probably make if blow a friggin gale for the next 6 months so my liquid runway is as choppy as the north sea...... arseholes!!!!

Next time you deceide to head up there let me know and I will come with. Thats trendy teenage talk for you old folk. I will have my L39 finished in a few weeks, and it is gunna need some room.

They quoted me $165.00 to send it............ too much........no hurry........ I can wait...... I will keep looking but have 3 other projects at various stages at the moment so I really dont need any ...

You a funny Cladio !!!! See you there.

You know they say "if you cant beat em join em", so with that in mind I looked back at the last 12 months and the non existant flying caused by wet weather. So I though STUFF IT! and bought this. Was ...

Who is going out to Blacktown tomorrow. I will probably go, but would like some company?

Actually Frank I'm not a fan of FPV at all, but horses for courses as they say. But I'm very serious about getting one of these big P38's

We fly plenty of the smaller ones at our field Jonathan. In fact 50 to 60% of our members have an EDF of 2. When our runway is actually dry enough to mow and we can use the full length. 70mm EDF,s ar...

I wonder if there is enough room in the fuse for 2 x 10S batteries, because thats what it will need.

Crashproofing......hahahaha..haaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Sorry mate there is no such thing. However there are a number of processes around that certainly improve a models ability to ....take an impact. It certa...

Thanks for the links Jonathan. I have sent them an inquiry. Gazz

You have to organise to be met at the gate by a member and they will let you in.

Thanks for the great Video Jason. They are a personal favorite of mine too. I just missed out on a P38 last week in RC Trader. The guy sold it 5 minutes before I rang him.... Spewing..... It was sti...

Once again Steve...................... great work on the sign mate, appreciate the effort.......................don't think anyone else noticed your lovely handy work in the zoom shot of Pic 1 (Post #...

You are probably right Steve. I was just pointing out the differences between said epoxies, because there IS a difference. I personally use 15 minute on almost everything and it works fuknorn!

I've only been flying for just over 3 years. I have owned well over 30 aircraft, I have sold at least 8, crashed 6 (only 3 were my fault)and have 3 still in unopened boxes in my Hanger closet, I am ...

Thats not actually the case guys. The different cure time epoxies have SIMILAR compositions the only difference is that the faster the set time the more brittle the epoxy is when it completes curing...

Dont get me wrong Johnathan. If you are keen to build your own plane then by all means go ahead, its just that flying a home built, untried and unproven aircraft will only make the learning process sl...

That looks like a pretty good choise, although I have not flown one personally.

Johnathan YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!! If you purchase a semi resonable aircraft then your learning/flying experience will be much easier than those who try (and I mean try) to learn to fly with ch...

Im going out to PEMAC, leaving home about 9.30 be there about 10.30. Gazz

You swear Steve!!!!! Noooooooooooooooooo......

I will be waiting in anticipation as the sun rises. I might try and get some flying in at Penrith if the weather holds.

In a high speed EDF, I wouldn't use anything less than a Spectrum AR500, would be a real shame to stand watching your pride and joy heading for the horizon, oblivious to your requests as you pull your...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news guys but I had to get up early to go in to work and it rained constantly from Kellyville all the way work (Ryde). Just looking at the radar now and that looks even ...
