Damn straight if would sport... and thats why I'm flying tomorrow, besides that I had a heap of chores I've been promissing the missus I would do for ever... so I'm in the good books now! See you in ...

What motor did you purchase to go with it Arron?

Im not running the pull pull system Wayne, and for memory Frank is using the same set up as me. If you look at the specs supplied they suggest mounting the rudder servo at the back to save weight, y...

No problem at all John, might catch up next weekend!

What model do you want to put the spoilerons on Steve. Aircraft that land like Hotliners need them and really floaty aircraft like the Eflite Apprentice are easier to land with them deployed because...

Don't do that Wayne, vernier the threads and let me know what size they are. I may well have a set of dies at work and can run the threads down for you, then you can just cut them off to length and a...

I dont want to sound like a smart arse mate but have you checked the length of the other rods supplied, those ones look like the elevator/ rudder rods. If they are the wrong length then I recon a trip...

I don't recall having any issues with mine either Wayne. Here are a few shots of my Aileron installation. :D I used extra long servo arms that I bought from Hobbies in the Hills to get the throws I ...

I'd like to have a really good look at that airframe next time we cross paths, mate... but I'm flying out west tomorrow.

Nice pick up Andrew.... good to see some one is paying attention!

4S? Youv'e gotta be kidding... don't you mean 6S.... come on Steve... you wanna fly EDF's your gunna need to grow a big pair... 4S wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding.:D

Yeh I agree Wayne, the forecast for tomorrow looks better, so I will fly tomorrow as well.

Just got home from the MAS NSW meeting and it rained most of the way home (Parramatta to Kellyville). Not looking to good for the morning. But we will keep our finger crossed.

Jason I noticed a few posts back that you need a couple of Cam speed props. I have two 4.5 x 4.5 Cam speed props if you need them. Let me know Gazz

Glad you picked that one up George, you really need a few more planes don't you, I hate to see people without enough aircraft to fly!

Wayne Iv'e got a brand new unopened 13 x 8 APC in my box of goodies. I will bring it down tomorrow. What do you mean HK don't sell 'em. Iv'e just found a 13 x 8 Light Electric Turnigy prop. I will ...

Ben I have a roll of the HK hinging tape, if you are flying Saturday bring your plane down and I will help you replace it, it only takes 5 minutes. Weather permitting I will be at the field from 8.30...

What do you mean "one of the best looking planes in the air" they are THE best looking plane in the air ... period!

Hey Wayne I know you loved your MXS-R but it was probably just a little to heavy and that is a big problem when you are trying to take small steps to flying bigger aircraft. I also know that you were...

Looks the goods Frank...... you really can't beat FMS's bang for your buck.

I'm pretty sure he used these. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__9218__Canopy_Lock_30x8mm_10pcs_bag_.html Gazz

Thanks for taking the time to read our build thread Space Angel. You will love the big Super Tucano, they fly very scale, the only problem with the airframe is that it is very heavy, once you add all...

That's a great idea Chris. Time for an all in working bee, I cant help but I can carry the drinks.(with one hand)

You don't want tubing mate, you need solid billet.

Hi Wayne I have the Hacker A60-22 in my Egde 540 that came out of my Seb Art Sukhoi 140. So I used the mount that I bouught with the motor. http://www.espritmodel.com/aluminum-mount-a60.aspx Esprit...

Nice work Jason, looking forwrd to seeing Mark 2.

No probs John, I will give you a set when I see you next... maybe this weekend.

Purcahsing new aircraft is a very personal thing... no one can tell you what you should get, but most people will. The trick is learning where you want to be with your flying and understanding your cu...

We are on the same page Frank I would re think the Skyraider they have lots of issues. Pick something else.... just a personal opinion The Viper is a riper but will have issues with grass becaus...

Can any of you boffins tell me what class this sweet beastie fits into. If its an EF1 plane then everyone else is in serious trouble. Its electric but I think its to small and to light for EF1. I r...

Hey Jason I have had a very thourough look at all the specifications on both the Shoestring and the Sundowner. In your humble opinion which airframe do you think might have the edge and why?

You don't have to worry about me Claudio, I can't even fly a plane at the moment mate, let alone build one. Me thinks it will be after Christmas before I can fly anything that really boogies!

Bloody Hell Jason..... Youv'e sold me on EF1 mate..... Those combustion engines just sound like WAY too much work for me. If I take up racing.... or should I say WHEN I take up racing it will be wi...

The old school general rule of thumb was to learn on a high wing aircraft they have a natural self leveling effect because of the high wing and slight dihedral, but that is old school, there are a wid...

Steve I would like to get one of your famous depron foamies off you, but don't go to any trouble, next time you are cutting out a few I would love one ... thanks Gazz

I would hazzard a guess that Indolingo has a set up problem with his Rare Bear. The aircraft is very C of G sensative and if your set it up how HK suggest it is very tail heavy and a pig to fly. I had...

Peter Pine also sells speed props. He is recognised as being the one of the fathers of electric flight in Australia. I have bought a lot of bits and pieces from him. His prices are pretty respectab...

I agree with Steve, generating enough heat to melt a solder joint can only come from a poor quality joint in the first place. I would suggest it was a crap joint to start with, a poor tradesman always...

Hey Frank, happy that the maiden went well, they are a pretty terrific aircraft Gazz

Thanks Jason I am probably going home this evening, but thanks for the offer. I think a test piece with clear on it is worth a try mate. I recon the gloss would make the "out of mould finish" look h...

Very nice work Jason, I really like the colour scheme!

The HK 1400mm Rare Bear is not an FMS airframe Jason. I've been doing a heap of research myself and the only thing I can find that looks close is the HK 1600mm P51 Mustang prop, but as I dont know th...

Hey Steve, they are really cheap, I think I will order 2..... NOT!

I tried mine on a both a 4000 and 5000 during initial flight testing and found that the 5000 ruined the flight performance. I fly mine on a Zippy compact 4000 and it isn't a pylon racer but it sure is...

I had another 3 flights with mine at Penrith on the weekend mate. I moved the C of G back 5mm from standard for the first flight and then another 5 for the last 2 flights and it almost hovers hands o...

Thanks for the well wishes guys. The first flight was a trim and nerve stabiliser, as well as a battery/ flight time test. Next one will be a lot longer. The flight batts were still at 3.94 volts pe...

It really does look like a full size bomber up close. The detail and finish quality is the best I've seen on a big foamy. Nice camera work too.
