Today is a sad sad day. Especially if you have a PC9 with Hitec HS 311 servos. This WAS the only aircraft in my squadron with plastic gears. I will never buy them again. PS: KEV if you have plas...

Saturday is looking a lot better than Sunday at this stage with the forcast cold front coming through. So I will be opening up tomorrow from 7ish. See you all there. Gazz

This weather is to good to miss. Im off to the field for an afternoon fly. Gazz Just got back from Utopia (I mean the field) Zero wind. Not a cloud in the sky. A freshly mowed strip. And...

Field Condition update troops I droped in this afternoon for an hour for a few flights, and to my surprise, our good old pres had obviously been there before me. The strips, taxi way, heli area and ...

Had a bit of rain this morning but it has been fine since 11am. Am heading down to the field at 2.30. Gazz

Forecast is still looking good. Hope to be at the field by 3.30 tomorrow. If the wind picks up I will only drop in for a quick fly but if it is relatively calm I plan to be flying till around 6pm. ...

Hello Aviators I am planing on droping into the field for an hour or 2 on Wednesday afternoon,weather permitting. Forecast is looking good so far. Just thought I would give you all the heads up if ...

I will be flying again tomorrow Dave, ai expect to be there around 7 am. See you then. I think Dave and myself were the only to to escape todays carnage. Gazz

Hey Rob Thas sounds pretty easy you can you let me know exactly how to do it. Gazz

Hi Kieran/Steve/Darren or anyone else who has experience with Hotliners. I have been watching the few high performance gliders at the club with interest for some time now and I have decieded that I...

Hi Chris My personal opinion is that you really dont need a stand alone BEC unless you are running a big motor with big current draw and heaps of high torque servos. I am still going through this ...

Hi Kev Don't think anybody has been down since Sunday afternoon. There was quite a bit of standing water in places on the main runway, the cross strip wasn't to bad, the taxi way and car parking are...

Very sorry to see the beast out of action again mate. My condolences on a less than happy end to what was supposed to be an adrenaline filled flight. On another note... Talking about Sirens what p...

Thinking about going for a fly. Does anybody have a field report. Gazz

Hi Pilots I cant make it down to the field tomorrow until around 10 am. So if it is a cracker of a day, someone else will have to open up. Gazz

You are a man of many talents Paul Looks like a nice job mate, well done. What sort or power and propulsion system are you using. Gazz

Spectrum have bitten the bullet and realized that they needed band hopping technology to stay in the game. Here are 2 links to the release of of this (new) technology. http://www.youtube.com/watch...

Recon you have hit the nail on the head with that shot Steve. If its not Drew's plane is must be somebody elses, It sure looks like a plane to me. Gazz

Thanks heaps for posting that info Dave. A very informative read. Gazz

There were only 6 or 7 down at the field today. It was very very hot but the stiff breeze kept it bearable. I will also be flying early tomorrow. Gazz

Droped in for a few flights this morning at 8.30 to find our good pres giving the field a mow. The runways are in the best condition I have seen in a long time. I will be flying again tomorrow from 8 ...

I will be flying tomorrow morning (friday) from 8 ish, if any body would like to join me. Weather permiting of course. Gazz

Its not that bald Steve The slashers cut the jungle down.... they didnt remove it!! Its ankle deep hay.

Droped in to the field this morning to test fly my new Katana. It was to windy. However those of you that liked the long grass around the strip for gentle padded landing will be dissapointed. The c...

Looks like a scorcher tomorrow Im only flying from 8 till 11. Had to abort today at 12, it was to bloody hot. Had alot of fun though. Hopefully Wednesday morning will see some cooler conditions. ...

Hi Andrew I am flying today from 9 and tomorrow as well might see you there Gazz

Hello Pilots I am on holidays this week and will be flying at the field most days from 9 till 2 weather permitting. Will post each morning with probable flying times. Gazz

I will be at the field early tomorrow, have to leave early to go to a BBQ. Thamks Darren for turning the strip/field into a bowling green. Field condition is the best I have seen for a long time...

Howdy Pilots I will be flying from a sparrows fart tomorrow morning. Will be opening up around 8 am. See you there. Gazz

As usual Steve I have to pop into work for an hour or so, but should be at the field by 9. Gazz

Finished my new Seb Art Katana 50. Just waiting on the Servos from Hobbyking as well as the Hacker Motor and Dualsky ESC to arrive from Model Flight and we will have lift off. My Sukhoi now has stab...

Nice mod Steve Certainly looks like a BIG improvment on the original. Well done mate. Maybe you should give HK a ring with your wing specs. Gazz

Yes Alex There will be quite a few tomorrow. We have our Australia Day Trials as well as scheduled normal flying for all members. HYBLOAP? Gazz

I am in the middle of a new build myself. What servos are you thinking of running. I have just ordered these beasties for my new build which also has a flight weight of 2800grams. http://www.hobbyk...

Just weighed the PC9 for you Steve. Take off weight is 2790 grams with a Turnigy 5S 4000 30-40C battery. Am running this Turnigy 85 amp ESC with built in 5 amp BEC that also comes with an On/Off...

Not knowing the weight of the aircraft I recon it would be balistic with a an Eflite 46 with 5S (thats what is in my PC9) or a Turnigy equivalent. But that would suit an aircraft of that size. Do yo...

Took the mighty T Rex 600 Airwolf down to the field this afternoon for its maiden. Had to move a lot of my electrionics forward during the build as I knew it would be tail heavy after preliminary C o...

Just got back from the field, gave my Trex 600 Airwolf its maiden flight. Very very happy with the first flight,trim was almost spot on and only have to give 2 clicks of aileron right to get it into ...

Thanks for the update Steve Doesn't sound to promising though. Will wat until tomorrow to make a decision about flying or building. Gazz

OK Pilots This is a pretty impressive display. These guys have spent a lot of time and money getting this display on the road. Gazz

Happy new year pilots I have been at work pretty much non stop for the last 2 months until 2pm today. 2011 I get my flight life back. So with that said I will be at the field tomorrow from 8.30. H...

I fly mode 1, many Heli die hards suggest Mode 2 is better but it just depends on what you learn with. 30% expo is a pretty good starting point. It wont make it easier to fly but it will make the He...

Sounds like a plan Alex Work commitments aside I will be flying early both Saturday and Sunday so I hope to see you see you there, then we can start to put these little trim and balance issues behi...

Hey Alex Ive been sitting on the side watching this thread evolve. And if you dont mind some constructive critisism. Id suggest getting your arse down to the field and having one of our more exper...

These weather conditions are to perfect to miss. I will be walking in for a fly this afternoon about 4pm. Gazz

I am coming down at 9 for a few hours. See you there Chris Gazz

Thats entirely up to you Rob. There are pros and cons for both systems. The torque shaft is less likely to fail during flight and will probably only fail after an impact. The rubber band driv...

I would not stuff around with these guys. I would march in there today and tell them that it has not even been powered up yet and has obvious flight damage. If they wont give you a new one ask to sp...

No Rob Tail strikes during landing with Helis with torque shafts will regularly strip those gears to. Happens with the Trex 600. The short answer is NO. You have to strip the rear end of the h...

I am planning on going flying for a few hours only tomorrow morning. Will be opening up at about 8am weather permitting. Gazz
