If you want really good combat wings the engine and prop and prop cavity have to cut into the centre of the wing. Only way to fly combat.

Looks pretty smart Steve... but you are still carrying that weight, I am interested in your thoughts on the difference in the flight characteristics. Gazz

Thats a nice posative thought Kieran. I hope you are right! Will still pack a few just in case the weather gods back off.

Well Steve you've got no excuse then I will expect to see a few more servicable aircraft next weekend. I am supposed to doing my instructors couse this weekend, but under the prevailing conditions I'...

Now there is a Delta worth adding to the collection. Its a shame they didnt give it 360 degree vectoring though?

I still us IE Kieran. and I dont have any trouble with the club website...... What do you recommend I use!

Yeh LOL Steve. That one is probably missing a little bit of the tech that the big sucker has. Gazz

Very impressive Dave, I want one but they would probably sell for about $30,000, that is of course if you could actually buy one.

If the weather remains OK I'll be droping by for a fly later this morning. Probably have to walk in. I droped by our field early yesterday morning on the way home from work and the driveway was ratshi...

Sorry men, Its to nice a day not to go flying, and our field is unservicable again!! so I'm off to Penrith. Gazz

Yes I did Jason. Flight weight is 3.2 kg with a Turnigy 4000 5S 30-40C pack. I only weighed it this afternoon after your post and was quite surprised that it weighed that much, I was expecting more ...

Bloody weather...... someone should blow clouds up, this last 3 or 4 months of crap is pissing me off beyond comprehension. Hopfully the spring will bring a pause to this rediculous weather. Lucky I'...

Droped by the field this afternoon to maiden my Red Bull Extra 540. Ended up having a bit of a gallery, the 2 Steves, John P and Claudio were also having an afternoon fly. Conditions were almost per...

Im hoping to get there tomorrow to Steve. Just finished dialing in my new Red Bull Edge 540. I will never buy another Kyosho model! What a time consuming fiddley prick of a thing to build. Anyway ho...

Buy one and test it yourself Paul, I cant really speak from vast experience, but I bought a top of the line digital Bluebird retract servo for my Trex600 Airwolf, with 12 kg of torque, it wasn't cheap...

O'well looks like I will be doing a bit of in flight trimmimg then, I have ordered 8 of the suckers and they are on the way. My mistake I thought that the MG 555's were digital, I've got 5 of them in ...

Your gunna repair that to a "flyable state" your a clever man John. After an event of those proportions I would be heading in this direction http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__16337__SkyFun...

Whats wrong with the Turnigy MG 555's Kieran?

I ordered my servos this afternoon. I have been looking at a number of options but decieded to go for these http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__8956__Turnigy_555MG_Slim_Wing_Servo_Metal_Gear...

Does anyone know where I can get Loctite Hysol 9462 Epoxy adhesive in Australia???

You are in the same boat as Kieran (scratching your head) His little 450 deceided to commit aviation today while flying perfectly. It carried out a half heimlic following by an impersonation of jour...

Hi Paul and Kevin and anyone else tuning in. I thought I would start a thread so we can discuss ideas and equipment options for the 3 big EDF jets we are all about to start building. OK I'll start...

No I haven't Steve..... you can be the bunny.

Nice explaination Rob, could not have said that any better if I tried Sorry to hear old faithful tried to decapitate you. Gazz

Dont forget the AGM at 12 oclock guys, see you at the field. BBQ supplied Gazz

Do think we should invite the fire department? That sounds pretty balistic!!! Interesting!! I want to see that!

I agree with Steve, you need to do the sums on upgrades to make sure that any changes you make are safe and not going to tear you or the aircraft to pieces, Make sure you do a full throttle ground tes...

I stopped by the field this afternoon to burn a few Trojan batteries that needed a work out. I have not seen the strip since I mowed it 3 weeks ago. The grass on the main strip has certainly enjoyed ...

I am planning on dropping by the field for a fly tomorrow afternoon after work at a little after 3pm if that helps. Gazz

Chuck it yourself mate, it is a lot easier that you think, throttle up to about 2/3's and thrown the little sucker at the sky at an angle that would try to hit the top of our beloved power lines, not ...

Now thats impressive !!! How cool are the fastenerless control hinges.

No Dave. I think it is quite flyable at Parramatta. Southeastern approach should be fairly straight forward coming in over the causway. I had another 2 flights today at Penrith and am starting to ge...

Fit 2 x 4S Nanotechs - OK Flight suface control checks - OK Retract test - OK Flaps checked - OK Weather (at Penrith) No wind, no clouds, 20 degrees - Perfect Took off with flaps set at half, p...

No problems men I am leaving my place at 7.00. Hoping the strip is servicable, plan of having a loosen up flight with my Katana at 8 sharp fog permitting, followed by at least 1 flight with the DW a...

I will be arriving at PEMAC at 8.30. Preflight checks at 8.31 and maiden at 8.32. Just kidding mate... I will definately be there before 8.30 They have a big day planned starting from 9.30, spoke t...

Always a good idea to up the anti just a little on the ESC Mick. Very sound security for your aircraft and the difference in weight and price to bump it up 10 or 20 amps is almost not even worth disc...

Hey Steve Ive just ordered another Funjet. I want to make it low Kv big prop to keep the noise down, but still would like mega speed. Will still run 4S unless you recommend otherwise? Which motor a...

Yes I am Kev and a rake!

If its not raining on Saturday, I'm flying, but our field will need to recover for another week at least before it can cope with medium to large aircraft... and I plan on maidening my Deuces Wild this...

Glad you finally got your radio back John, will see you down at the field soon.................. as soon as the weather breaks.(Fingers and toes crossed)

Hey John As I said before, you are welcome to borrow my DX6i until your radio returns from its holiday. Even if you only programme in one of your aircraft, at least you can fly.... You will have to r...

Im not flying at all this weekend. Deceided that this bloody rain was an ideal opportunity to visit the relo's. I'm off to Foster for the weekend. I hope the weather improves so you guys can get some ...

Here is a sneak peek at my Kirby Chambliss Red Bull Edge 540, just waiting on servos to finish the majestic beast off. This thing runs a Dualsky MG5050 an will twist itself out of your hands running o...

Sorry Dave but bugger the heli fliers.... its ANOTHER week before I get to maiden my Deuces Wild, ......and I'm not carrying it in it weight a ton.................. see you in 2 or 3 weeks ... I hope,...

I agree Jason, that flight could have been another 100 ft if the pilot controlled the flair.

Good point mate. I'm particularly interested in getting a high speed low KV big power Skyfun setup for other venues.

No mate sorry, most of the excess from the sale of the clubby is gone......on goodies and clearing debts. Waiting on my tax refund now to finish off the Flash T Carbon as well as the final bits for m...

Way to go Dave! I to was more than impressed with the performance of the little sucker. Surprised that it took you this long to get one.

Hi Kev/Paul I bought the Hobbywing HV- 120 Platinum Pro ESC for mine and the fully sick programming card(if anyone buys a HW ESC you are welcome to borrow my Programming card, dont shell out for one ...

That looks pretty smart Steve, whats the maximum amp draw (recommended of course) on the motor, I'm curious, why didn't you go for another Scorpion? My brother has had his Skyfun for 2 weeks now with...
