More than likely!

I'm sure it will be quick enough Steve... you know you don't have to have 17 to 1 power in everything you own mate. Most quick EDF's are 0.7 to 1 some of HK's are only 0.5 to 1 and they fly fine.

Took the RB up this afternoon after finishing the mowing. First flight was with a 4000 compact as far forward as it would go. It took off in about 5 meters at half throttle, a little trimming followe...

Nice work Jason... wouldn't have expected anything less from you. How much would you say it cost to build the box, did you buy the foam specifically for it, and if you did, what size do the sheets co...

I will check my manual for the C of G when I get home this afternoon Steve!

Finally got the replacement retracts from HK, they were pretty good actually its is just the backwards and forwards communication that slows things down. Anyway... forcast for tomorrow afternoon is g...

As expected Kieran ...you D man! I knew you would have your finger on the pulse. Might not be to long before we see big mother Chevrons on Heli blades, Blue Thunder's wisper mode make not be science...

We can get the strip sorted first mate. I will have a fly when the work is done. Mower is in the van, see you there!

I am planning on dropping by to maiden my big Rare Bear tomorrow Steve, weather permitting of course, I finally got the replacement retracts from HK, so I will throw the mower in as well, I should be ...

I like to think I'm a pretty smart fella... but I would have thought that an irregular shape like that at the the trailing edge of the prop would have generated more turbulance not reduced it... just ...

OK ...What's the story with the Chevron/sawtooth on the trailing edges?

If a Great Planes will fit, I will certainly use it......I might use a big Hacker, but these days I usually make my own, with a little help from Jasons lathe (thanks again mate)

Though I would reactivate this thread because I couldn't find another one that suited the subject. Super and Cheaper are having a SALE so don't blink. Jason has a few of their aircraft, a mate from ...

Sorry mate I did say retire.....oh I forgot one.... no wife!!!!

Looking good Steve. Thanks for all the preliminary work mate. Now I can steal your idea ha ha... although to be honest I have done a lot of reasearch on these things and was planning on doing somethi...

Bloody hell Jason,you really go the extra mile to get ride of that drag... nice job mate. Any idea how much of an increase in top speed you might get out of said deflectors?

Looks like a nice place to consider for retirement, No rain, no wind, no power lines, no trees, no buildings, no waiting, no problems!

Its a little sad that our brothers out in the middle of nowhere in a municipality of (not many) have a club with a shelter, toilets and a Barby.... but good on them. We on the other hand in the metro...

Welcome to the club Steve... you might be a little concerned about the ramifications ie: a few nights on the couch, but once you get the big T into the air, you will have a smile a mile wide.

Well Surprise, Surprise the field is in reasonable condition. Just got a report from Jason who is already down there, he says althogh it is a little heavy the strip is in very good condition and there...

The cam speed props are brilliant. I've got the 5.2 x 5.2 on my Skyfun and you all know how that tears up the sky... even though it hasn't left the ground since Samste tried to remove his fingers wit...

OK Jason you have my attention... I'm interested ... what Link????

I recon the field will be well and trully swimming by the weekend Steve if it isnt already... forecast is for more rain over the next 4 days.

Mine is like a HK back order. Its coming.... Iv'e got everthing I need to complete it... I just need to find the time. Throw those bloody retracts/landing gear in the bin Steve... that's how I am ke...

That aggresive pumping of the throttle is never gunna help with a decent prop hang, I'm no expert but the smoother you are the easier it is to balance the aircraft, keeping the throttle nice and clos...

The light beech props that Jason recommended are actually for IC engines, I have used them before and they are very good props but but are a little on the heavy side, these are more suitable for elect...

I get my big wooden props from HK, they do up to 21" in the light wooden electrics and they are beautifully balanced. Hobbies in the hills carries just about everything APC but are obviously a little...

Steve did you get the balsa or would you like me to bring some down to the field in the morning. You can drop by my place nice and early to pick up the film so you can repair the Nemesis, give me a ri...

Yes it will mate, but I am trying to keep the weight down in the thing, thats why I am trying this out. If it is still a little lack lustre in performance I can up the S rating, but I will try it on 6...

Nice job Jason, it looked pretty straight in the sky!

I am flying out west tomorrow!

Change of plans George. Picked up an OS 375 from H in the H. I will replace the OS 490 that I am running in it on 6S at the moment with the 375. the 490 is running out of puff spinning the 15 x 8/2 ...

Thanks Steve's

I should be flying Friday too... but not till a bit later in the morning.

Where are you going to get it from Frank. The Australian distributor doesn't import the 140 anymore, I know because I was talking to him yesterday because I need a new fuse for mine. Might have to set...

Sorry you had to miss the MASNSW meeting Steve.... chin up old boy... what!! I have to work tomorrow... hope the sun shines on you all.

I was running this motor on 10S in my Sebart Sukhoi 140 spinning a 20 x 12 2 blade, it weighed 4.6 kgs and flew like magic,until a BEC failure killed it. I would actually rather run an Eflite 160 245...

Hi George Just thought I would give you a little update on my Super Tucano. The last few times I've flown it (at PEMAC) it has been pulsing a lttle at full throttle, and that is something that both...

I was about to pack the mower and head down to give you a hand Steve, but the sky has gone black and its making lots of rumbling sounds... it doesn't look good at all... so you will be Robinson Crusoe...

Depends on what temp. you monitor. I know from experience and a lot of reading that the absolute maxumum temp you should not exceed with you battery is 50 degrees C. Most good quality speedies and ...

Personally I'd go with the 192 as well, just remember that as Prop diameter increases , so does current draw (Amperage) so the trick is to get the thrust you need without generating to much current. ...

There is some vey very interesting stuff in that there link matey, thanks Smuzz!

A lttle tip Wayne, make sure you put a lock nut at both ends of the rods against each of the clevises

Hey Steve M/Kevin B You guys asked me the other week to let you know if I was thinking about selling my big Trojan. The answer was of course NO! Its one of my favorite planes. But if you want to pi...

Hobbies in the Hills, Frank

Looks like a great day was had by all... SPEWIN' I missed it! This looks like a nice place to visit, maybe next year! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wToa7MIh68A

Hobbies in the Hills sells really top quality Dubro Servo linkage sets mate. Iv'e got a heap at home, if you what to bring the wing around to my place with servos installed and centred, we can set the...

Don't want to sound condersending Wayne but you haven't got the servo mounted around the wrong way or got the right and left covers mixed so the control arm is in the wrong spot?

At the end of the day " old cleache I know" but it doesn't matter what you fly, If you cause damage by that action, be it personal or property "YOU" are responsible. being a member of a club simply re...

Thank you men, appreciate the effort.
