Well the maiden flight went like clock work. The only glitch was that I had to cycle the retracts twice to get them to go up. Conditions were perfect with a clear sky and literally no wind. I took ...

Mine weighs 5.36 kg ready to fly. Thats with 2 x 5S 5000 35C-65C Nanotech batteries. What batteries are you runing in your Frank?

I use Align Velcro straps from ZJ Hobbies.... it is the best you will find. http://www.zeejayhobbies.com.au/tools-accessories/velcro-tape-cable-ties/cat_125.html?sort_by=&brand=1&brand=1

The big blue spinner sets us apart mate... mine is the same colour as the red on the airframe and I've got my big white wheel spats on mine so they will be easy to pick in the air.

Hey Frank That's a bloody nice lookin' plane you got there champ!! Looking forward to a litle bit of tandem flying mate!

Holly Hanger 9 Batman, the big P51 is finally finished. Flight batteries arrived yesterday so I spent a few hours last night getting the C of G sorted, then I manufactured the battery tray and did th...

Any time after 9 am should be OK. We have had a lot of rain in the last 2 weeks and because our field is a flood basin it will probably still be a little damp under foot. Saturday or Sunday between ...

Claudio..... me thinks you may have a dark side??????

Frank/Jason Had to let you YAK 55 junkies know about this lovely beastie, 2800mm wingspan..... Yeeeeeeehhaaaaaaaa ! http://www.rctrader.com/category/310/GasPetrol/listings/8506/Aeroworks-Yak55-1...

I'm a JR man and never had ANY control glitch's with my JR11X using Spectrum receivers ...but I must admit that new FRSky radio really looks the goods!

Ditto what samste just said. I use Spectrum AR600's without a satellite in both my Skyfuns and never had a glitch. On the other hand, over the years we have had some major 36 meg failues at McCoy th...

Has anyone checked out the field? I guess it will be in a pretty poor state after all this rain?

[quote='secant0give' pid='21266' dateline='1372075033'] I mean the mob that used to be FGI for years at Brookveil Have you had some bad experience with them Gazz ? I've used their R180 Epoxy syst...

This is a P-51 lovers delight, it tells the story of the development of the Mustang throughout the war. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VuvbYfQawY

I hope you don't mean "Nuplex" Jason... if you are purchasing products from them you are in lots of trouble...... just kidding mate, my X wife is the CEO.

I will be down early in the morning to assist with membership renewals... hopefully the weather will hold.

You didn't answer my question buddy, and I know you aren't doing it to get rick quickley, so what's the bottom line to purchase one of these "Jasomites" ... and yes I am happy to accept royalties for ...

Looks incredibly labour intensive mate, how much do you think you will be selling the finished product for?

Sorry mate, I was not suggesting you were being negative. You could always reverse the concept and build a bus with an up ramp at the back and a down ramp at the front, that way we could just drive o...

You could write a book on the problems with it, but I don't like to be negative when someone comes up with a good idea!

Had to share this one with you all. Those Chinese are clever thinkers! http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=t1gTzc7-IbQ&feature=player_embedded

You should probably read the posts before making comments Arron... he won't be flying it at Parra, its too big... you will have to come to Penrith if you want to see the maiden.

My only other comment is............. SHIT COLOUR, you wanna stay about the tree line at PEMAC with this one, even if it has a 67 foot wing span, Iv'e seen heaps of people lose their plane against t...

Bloody Hell George You must be running out of room at your place champ. Looks like a wizzard bit of kit though mate, what breed is it and what's the story with the wingspan?

Just thought I should jump in here and clarify one thing! CAFI's (Club approved flight instructors) are approved by the clubs certified MAAA Instructors to assist new pilots to get air time. Th...

Here is a video that is worth a look. http://wimp.com/rcjet/

I will be opening up at about 8.30 and will be there all day if anyone needs any assistance. Gazz

I wasn't having a dig mate... just using your noisy little plane to make a point to all the other members.

Absolutely stoked that it flies so well Jason... it does sound very noisy though mate... Will have to do a db test on the little sucker on the weekend... hope it is under so you can continue to enjoy ...

Hi Aaron Sorry that your introduction to this great hobby has been though a supplier that is anything but.... I have to watch my P's and Q's with my responses to this particular group, I know of cou...

I would have come with bells on, but that weekend is my wifes birthday so I will have to give this one a miss as well.... hopefully I can come to the next one!!!!!!

Yes mate. George did but we will have to wait to see how it turned out.

Holy Forgotten Posts Batman, I completely forgot to prattle on about my bloody fantastic maiden flight out at PEMAC on Saturday.... To be perfectly honest there really isn't a lot to say, super, su...

I was almost going to drop by this afternoon with my big sea plane for a fly after I says Steve's shots of the strip/ river.

I don't know shit... but simply looking at the airframe I'd agree and believe the tailplane and most importantly the Vertical stab are way too small.

I like your theory Jason ... it does make a lot of sense. Any reason will do as far as I am concerned just as long as we break the sound barrier

Well that was the most trouble free build I have ever done. The only issue was designing and installing the main battery tray, and that is because it is designed for 30cc I/C motors She is already pa...

I hope they've all got wings, or something thereabouts!

Looks good mate, well done... I hope the maiden goes without issue and at a speed that causes blurred vision.

I hope its a bloody big "Man Cave" Steve, you gotta make sure your squadron have room for growth! My missus has been giving me a hard time latley because my "Squadron" appears to be overflowing and t...

Sounds like a great idea to me................ ROAD TRIP?

Don't stress yourself out champ, I have flown quite a few Bibes and generally speaking they are pretty well behaved on the ground dependant of course on the wheel/axle to C of G position. They have a ...

You cracked me up Claudio... how many in the box ... dare I ask?

Jason I run my prop driven Skyfun on a Scorpion 2221-8 at 3600kv on 4S spinning a Graupner Cam 4.5 x 4.5 speed prop... and we all know how that tears up the sky, full throttle theoretical on that is 5...

Nice work mate.... what is with you and superseeded models?

Thanks Dave... what a great video, I had better get back to work now!!!

That inverted construction must be a little awkward mate! Lookin' sleek and fast!

I am told the flight path takes them almost right over the top of PEMAC Wayne, ...did you not get the email?

Am I allowed to use my FF Trojan or is it for Rare Bears only?

Your attention to detail never ceases to amase me Jason... nice work mate!!! PS: Don't throw those mounds away, HK might sponsor you in thier R&D devision.:D::thumbup::D
