Here are a few final pics of the Stang, I am just waiting on batteries so I can sort out the Battery tray, C of G and go flying. Check out the crazy guy I got to look after flying.

Well done guys, I'm sure I speak for all the club members in passing on appreciation and thanks for your efforts. Gazz

That certainly is a big motor, did you buy the Spruce Goose mate? I suppose you get what you pay for Frank... HK stuff is more than reasonably priced and is certainly a good financial option, but I g...

Oh well gosh and darn it daddy, all I want for christmas is a RC model... wouldn't that be just swell! Look how far we've come in no time at all! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7gyGm5-nr0

The APC's would be a better choice, I personally would not use a heavy prop for electric flight particularly on a 3D bird. As I said I a previous post the light wood electrics are much more suited to ...

Jason is right Frank, they will fly nice, but spooling up on throttle will take longer than a lighter prop (which also burns more power). Heavier props are better suited to scale and sports fliers, w...

Way to go Exocoetidae I think that is a great purchase, Eflite airframes are brilliant and I don't know anyone else who has one ... so that has to be a bonus! Gazz

I am running the gear out of my Seb Art Sukhoi 140 except for a new BEC Hacker A60-24S 195kv 10S 5000 mAh spinning a 20 x 10 prop Turnigy Kforce HV 70amp ESC Turnigy 15amp BEC on 2s 2400 mAh Spect...

Not much of a build thread... sorry about that, I got so enthralled in the build I forgot to take photos. The only thing I have to report at this stage is that this thing is as well put together as a...

Bravo Zulu Smuzz, That is good news, I too hope to be down nice and early tomorrow... but that will depend on what the boss has planned for the weekend!

There are certainly some beautiful aircraft there John.... but I will have to wait until I retire before I get the time to SCRATCH BUILD anything. Its a dying art, and that is a shame... but who has t...

I wanna see it fly inverted...

Just use a spray bottle with tap water in it and 4 or 5 drops of dishwashing liquid. Set the nozzle to mist and only just wet the surface before applying the sticker, it will help you position it prop...

Thats great news but its about 48 hours too late...

Jason. You are welcome to fly tomorrow at Penrith with me as a guest if you like to come out for a fly. I will be arriving at the gate at 8 am sharp, or you could come out with the older folk (Steve)...

I am heading down at 8.30 Have arrived at the field to find the western end of the strip flooded due to a burst water main up at Grace. The field has water standing from the pilots box to the western ...

As long as your radio has the channels Frank we can do what ever you what... once you have been shown for the first time you will be able to adapt it to 18 channels if you need them...

Samste can explain it to you, but once again a visual thing will save a thousand words.

Bloody Hell Frank These questions and a few more will be answered after these commercials from our sponsors..... or see me down at the field and I show you, that will be much easier than trying to ex...

Power Plant Installation As this is an I/C upgrade the motor mount had to be designed from scratch. I had a number of options available but ended up using a plate and bar stand off, I manufactured th...

See me down at the field on the weekend mate and I will go through it all with you. The second lead fron your ailerons goes into Aux 1 on your reciever. The general rule of thumb is the right aileron ...

What do you mean you forgot "MOTHERS DAY".......... !!!!!!

Your not Robinson Crusoe the John... I charge my Lipo's in the garage at home to... I am fastideous with my safety and charging protocol... you can take all the precautions in the world but never kno...

Nice recovery by the old girl eh! The forecast looks terrific for the next 7 days, so a nice light breeze with the forecast sunshine should help have the field back in order in next to no time at all!

I wont be available this weekend, weather permitting, I am doing an Instructors course out west.

You wanna git that there big old FMS Trojan built boy, let me tell you, ye won't be needin them littluns no more.

Sorry Edited Version Not Happy

A simple way to add differential without complex radio tuning is to set the zero position on your aileron servo control horns leaning towards the front of the wing slightly... about 10 degrees or just...

Actually Jason ... there is 1 Rare Bear, 1 Rare Trojan and what looks like a Rare P47. This man is packing some heat...

Here is another one... you better be quick at this price!!! http://www.rctrader.com/category/340/Electric/listings/7327/FMS-Giant-Trojan-Silver.html

You D man Kieran...

HO-LY SHIT MICKEY... that thing boogies. Very nice work.

I know mate I did that. I ordered 2 x 1350kv motors, 2 x 1850kv motors and 2 x Changesun 90's. The 2 x 1850s were in plastic padded bags the 1350's were in the boxes. I labeled them with a texta beca...

Very happy it all went well Frank... told you tail heavy was good (only for 3D though)

Oh... they exist mate... they just cost an arm and a leg! I actually had to sell my kidneys so I could afford to buy one! But its peace of mind... so when all that money is belting around in the sky...

Welcome to the build thread for my new Super n cheaper 1800mm Edge 540T. I purchased this to replace my Sebart Sukhoi 140 2000mm. I will be installing all of the hardware from the Sukhoi into this air...

Almost forgot to mention.. its is the latest thing from Spectrum and has dual power supply with power sensative redundancy.... so to cut through the technical crap, it runs 2 separate power supplies t...

Looks good mate.... how the hell did you get a 90mm EDF into a 70mm EDF fuse???

Finished the Electronics installation and did the first wing to fusalage fit up to test all my servos under load to check that my control system has the balls to hang in there for 10 minutes. My JR 1...

Don't worry to much about that C of G shit Frank, its a 3D model isnt it? Tail heavy is good...

Its no speed demon, I recon the prop is about a 13 x 6 or thereabouts, so its not all that quick, its just got gobs of power. The prop actually makes the coolest sound at about half throttle but it c...

Thanks mate... I will be looking into a transport box or two myself.

I would have come along ... but a few days notice isn't enough... sorry guys!
