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...

Terriffic news John I'm building a Hanger 9 P51 D 150, it is ARF but will go close to 8kgs when its done, so you can get your pencil ready to tick a few boxes for me.

Anyone thinking about flying today be mindful of the heavy rain we have had and only drive in if the field condition is suitable for vehicles.

Bad news tax dodgers, the Hanger 9 Blue Nose P51 that I ordered a month ago dissapeared in transit and the Australian warehouse is out of stock until late January. So after some swearing followed by s...

Naaa... don't sweat mate... it will be sweet!

Post if you are definatley flying tomorrow afternoon Jason, I will come and join you if the weather is OK.

Yes me to mate, but there must be a reason for it... what sort of technology are Kontronic using that gives them the edge in reliability... you certainly pay for it, I've been looking at an 80amp ESC ...

What is really interesting is that the best ESC's that money can buy... Kontronic... build ESC's for up to 12S and come with built in BEC's, I know some of the best pilots that use Kontronic and they...

Hey Kev I'm back..... Droped into Hobbies in the Hills this afternoon to make a payment on my Big Mustang and surprise, surprise they had a Seagull 46 PC9 on the shelf, and as you would expect... I b...

Here we go again...Warm up the Tele and cool the tinnies!

Here is a nice one Wayne, although it might be a a touch bigger than you want http://www.hangar-9.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=HAN5170 This one is probably a little more realistic, even thou...

The field is fine Steve, I just got home from a few hours at McKoy... its still a little damp at the top end but overall its sweet as!

I might drop down for a fly this afternoon but will probably be flying out west tomorrow.

Well men its 11pm and its still fallin down quite heavily... I think you will find that these particular clouds are actually Cumulus Pissinonus... recon its gonna rain till the morning ... recon you c...

Its supposed to be raining and as windy as crap tomorrow morning mate... so I will probably give the flying a miss tomorrow and fly Sunday instead... but as always will watch the sky ...

That would be a great plane for training people to go from beginner to sports. I think it would be even better if you ran it on 4S, but you would want to put a decent spar in the wing if you were goin...

Did anyone drop by the field today and see how it faired after this morning downpour? I was going to stop by this afternoon for another few flights with the new Seb but it was blowing more than I l...

Nice work George..... Pretty impressed with those brakes ... they work well ...Dooh!!!

Yes mate, everything is exactly the same... no reason to fiddle with perfection!

I droped by the field today on the way home from work to check out how the strip faired after last nights deluge, because I wanted to maiden my new Sukhoi 50. I am happy to report that although the s...

Maidened the new beastie this afternoon. Surprise surprise... it was on rails although it felt a little tail heavy... great for 3D but a little to taily for my liking. I replaced my prop, down f...

Hey Rob The short answer is .... nothing..... or to be correct "not a lot". The last one lasted 4 years ..... and I didn't exactly take it easy on the airframe. I suspect it was a micro failure in...

Well done mate, you need to get that C of G sorted though!. Mine flew straight and level with no trim required at all. Glad you had a sucssesful first flight.

Recent literature released on Nanotech,s specifically suggests charging only prior to flight to get any longevity out of them. If you leave Nano,s for any period of time with a full charge you will re...

Looks like a man with serious electrical issues!
