Nice appraisal Dave... Do you work for Parkzone? I all sincerity Yudash, the Trojan would be my pick because once your skill level improves you can increase the rates and it becomes a great all round...

Just finished watching ALL your doco's Dave. Thanks! they were really terriffic

I will be flying on Sunday

My appologies if anyone thought I was having a go at them. That was not my intention. I was just trying to get a point accross. I check my batteries as soon as I land with a good quality cell checke...

Yes I agree.. that paint job looks excellent!

You guys are talking about 2 completely different things. Wayne is asking about flight setup,you are talking about flight timing. Flight timing is critical to 2 factors, how long you say up there an...

Don't mean to be nasty guys... but thats why they were $99

I am only relaying the information that I have learned during my flying career. I am well aware that voltage drops as load increases over time, and that is amplified as the battery loses power... chr...

I think you will find that just about every ESC, Motor and battery builder in the RC world use a base rate of 3.7 volts per cell to do their cals when you are talkin average power available under norm...

Actually Steve, that Power Setup is a copy of the Eflite "How to determine your power requirements specs" and it is a very good base line to use for the setup of any new aircraft. If you follow the gu...

I will hold the door open for you Dave, If you like! Always happy to help!!! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Truth be known I just want someone else to do the hard yards... ...

I'm sure that stability has always been a priority during development, but if that sucker starts a tank slapper at 200mph plus can I have whats left of your turbines?... When they land... that is! :D...

If you read the conversion data for 2 to 3 then 3 to 4 blade props you will see why. You can do the Maths on the 4 to 5S upgrade. Generally if you up the S rating on a specific airframe with the sam...

I'm flying Sunday this weekend, just letting anyone know that hoped to catch up with me!

Excellent work Steve Thanks for the effort!

This is the one I am probably putting in my HK Viper http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idproduct=21144 I would really like to put this one in http://www.extremerc.com.au/es...

I got my 13 x 8 3 blader from Hobbies in the Hills. Its a master airscrew!

Hey Steve Here is something that I thought was gone for good... they just keep coming back. http://rcflyer.com.au/shop/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=31&products_id=183 Kinda makes you all warm...

The 2.4 kgs of thrust is the one that does it for me, plus the lighter battery pack will give a lot better performance. EDF's are a lot more weight sensative than prop driven aircraft, so if you are ...

I'm happy to test you on anything mate. To answer your earlier question on the multiple aircraft requirement it says 4 flights consecutive flights. The flights may be done on 2 separate days. So you ...

I would have been there ... BUT I HAVE A JOB!!!

You aren't a student anymore Wayne, and haven't been for quite some time!

Timing errors eh Jas? The GPS looks ok to me. Looking at the huge variation in the data you have taken and the mathematical equations used that still give you a varience of over 30kph, I would be mo...

The trick to making life easy for yourself when sitting your Gold wings is to fly an aircraft that is rock solid in the air with neutral behavioral characteristics, a good sports plane will always be ...

I would put a GPS in the sucker and get a proper top speed reading over 100 meters or more... that would save a shit load of muckin around... don't you think!

Yeh, Happy birthday young fella!

I agree with Steve, if you want any EDF to have decent hand launch performance you gotta up the S rating and get some serious ponies under the bonnet.... or to coin an old performance phrase... YEEE...

Sorry for the ambiguity and yes Steven's right, its Vineyard that has apparently closed off its membership.

I was at Penrith today mate. The HMAS field is at the very end of Bandon Rd at Vinyard, cross the railway line and follow it to the end and I mean right at the end of the goat track. You physically c...

Congrats on the successful flights Wayne. Now you're in trouble mate, you have contracted the dreaded speed bug... and I'm happy to report that the only cure is... MORE SPEED !!!

Not me. I'm flying my big ones out West.

Did anyone get a chance to give the strip a mow!

Nice job as always George, hope it flies as nice as it looks.

I have just started flying my Trojan on 5S, but the only reason I decieded to do that was because I broke the prop. It is a 13 x 9 3 blade standard. I replaced it with a Masterairscrew 13 x 8 3 blade...

Hey George..... Bite me!!!!

If the Corsair is close in weight to the Trojan, I dont think you will get anywhere near 7 minutes. All the FMS birds run the same 500kv 4S motor, and it is a ripper, they do however all have differe...

Looks very nice Frank, I am looking forward to seeing that beastie in the air. I was in two minds when I ordered my FMS T28, I was very close to getting the Corsair.

Hi Pilots I was just checking out some stuff I need on Modelflights website and stumbled accross this mega deal. If you fly superlights or are building a super light plane you don't want to miss thi...

Hey Steve, If you are running low on profanities, I am more than happy to sling you a couple... I've got shitloads!!!

I just drill the suckers in a drill press and they are always pretty spot on, a little bit of work in the balancer and they are good to go.

Picked up my new Seagull PC-9 this afternoon... I am really looking forward to getting the Gen3 model in the air. I am doing a big power upgrade on this one, upping the power to 6S so I will be doing...

Did a deal this week with a mate from work that is a absolute RC nut ... but a great bloke! You will never meet anyone like this man. He has a box of NEW motors at home that has over $12000 worth of ...

A nice head wind can be a blessing... as long as it is coming from the right direction... helps slow down the quick ones.

Dont bother Wayne, the we did more than enogh yesterday, just fill your car with flying machines.

It look like the weather man is turning it on for us this weekend... Hope to see you all down there enjoying the blue sky and the magnificent field condition.

I had a similar smaller version and once it had some air speed it was magic, but they do not like you trying to fly them slowly at all... and by slowly I mean under about 80 kmph. Unless it has gobs ...

Indeed, a big thanks to all those that came down to the field for this afternoons working bee, Kev and I attack the mulga and started building a new cross strip, early days yet but it looks prommising...

Now that's a great video. Looks like the pilots in those things were having a ball.

Thats great news. I have my Trimmer in the back of the van as well because Kev is meeting me to attack some of the thick stuff, but by the looks of things I will be able to do the strip as the rest is...

I am hoping to give the rest of the field a mow tomorrow afternoon from 3pm. My mower doesn't go tht low Steve so I might leave the main strip to you and I will do everything else. I will take my mo...
