If I do fly Sunday it will only be for an hour or 2, I didn't quite get my new Sukhoi 50 finished so I might drop by the field tomorrow for a quick flight.

No problem...I must be getting old (Like you Steve) I mowed the runway, Taxiway and then took the top off the area between the heli area, runway and taxiway because it was getting a little feral, it w...

Well done Frank, looks like your on top of that little sucker.

Field is mowed and ready for action. See you all bright and early tomorrow. Gazz

Crack yourself up Dave....... Typical bloody Futaba pilots!!!

She should join our club. We could put her in charge of new pilot training.:D:thumbup::D:thumbup::D:thumbup:

A couple of old classiscs:- Following the recent tragic death of the Human Cannonball at the Kent Show, a spokesman said "We'll struggle to get another man of the same calibre." Two blondes wal...

Sweet ...... thats a good idea, I couldn't be stuffed driving all the way out there with the weather so unpredictable.... I think I will fly at McCoy!

Forgot all about this different insurance stuff, sorry mate. Until MOP 57 is sorted, you can't fly at Penrith. I don't like to look of the weather at this stage either, "It's blowing a friggen gale" s...

I will be flying Saturday this weekend... the wind is not looking to great at this stage but I have a family function on Sunday, so if you want to come to Penrith Saturday ..... Sweet, happy to take y...

That is a very nice looking lady mate. Can I have some spec's please? Is it composite? And where the hell do you get one from?

Ive been looking at that very bird for quite some time George. It is very high on my list of " Iv'e gotta get me one of those". Twin Changesun 90's with Warhead 1850 motors running on a pair of 5000...

Thanks for the heads up BB, thouroughly enjoyed the presentation. Really nice to get an insite into the actual work that goes into making one of these beautiful aircraft.

High or low frequency? Thats a tough one but we have to draw a line in the sand somewhere and 80 dBA is the agreed value as it complies with noise regulations. So at the end of the day it really does...

Just a quick point for anyone not used to using EXPO or setting it up for the first time. Make sure thet you dial in posative 20% and not negative 20% or you will be making the aircraft more sensati...

Hi George The weekend weather is looking good but the wind is a bit of a concern Saturday morning wind 15 to 20 ks south west increasing in the afternoon 30 to 45 ks Sunday morning 20 to 30 ks easi...

Hey Steve You D Man!!!! I guess I wont need to pack my mower tomorrow then eh?

Ben There are 2 major ways to charge your batteries... If you select Fast charge or Charge then the only plug you need to plug in is your Deans /ET60, etc. Select the Lipo cell number and the amp ...

I can't promiss anything, but if work commitments allow, I'll be there to give you guys a hand. I will pack my mower in the van Friday morning so I can come straight from work. Gazz

Will do mate. You are right, I do have an amp tester with 4 mm bullets and if the weather permits I may be heading out west. I will let you know Friday night. Gazz

Mate Mate Mate Mate MATE!!! Don't change a bloody thing. That is brilliant! Very Very impressed with the editing and the choise of music. Well done My only suggestion would be to make it about 10 ...

Hey George. Sorry I had to leave in such a hurry on Sunday, I wanted to help with your trials but got called away. How did your testing go?

I'm a country boy and grew up in the bush. Ive killed more snakes than most people have had hot dinners, they are very dangerous and deserve more than a considerable amount of respect. All the cauti...

Now you have watched it once. Watch it again and look at the wing loading at the extremities of the screen. Really hope for the planes sake that they will put up with that sort of abuse for a long tim...

Lucky you were wearing my kevlar plated gum boots then, aren't you Arron?

I am opening up this morning around 8am.

Is that Joe Satriani in the background?

I will have to write a nice message to Santa, hopefully the fat bastard doesn't forget me this year.

You D man Claudio, I would love to be there for your maiden attempt at a vertical landing. But knowing you and your electronic wizzardry, you will probably have 3 kg of electronics,15 gyros all cross ...

Seriously Ben You will never look back if you buy a Trojan, they are an outstanding aircraft for improving your skills, and not only that, they are a Shit load of fun to fly. Gazz

I'm happy to talk you through a flight at McCoy George, but in all sincerity I wouldn't fly it there until you have a few flights under your belt and are comforable with the beastie at a place where a...

Happy to help out with a PEMAC visit George. You will want to fly it in some space first, It is very fast on approach even with full flaps and flying it slower than you think you should be. I have h...

Yes I have to agree .... never thought of that! Very clever thinking Ron. I'd be guessing but I don't think anyone has launched an aircraft of that type like that before. Gotta be a first. Go Ron, G...

This thread is getting way off topic! Gentlemen please try to keep discussion in line with the thread. If you want to discuss something completely different then please open a new thread!

Sorry Ben, Unfortunatley I am rarely if ever available during the week. Super Steve may be able to help, but you will have to wait for his reply, Everbody else has real jobs! Then again John H is a...

Its definately better than the Hacker A50-14 but cant really be compared to the 50-16 because it has a much higher kv. So it's sort of on the middle but not....if you get my drift.

Maiden flight report Take 2 (sort of) With the new OS motor ready for action I headed out to PEMAC for some flight testing. The difference in throttle response between the Hacker and the OS is huge....

Not really an Airshow but Mark from PEMAC has just let me know that a a Caribou from HARS will be doing a fly over of Springwood this Sunday at 11.30 for this years Vietnam Rememberance day. If you h...

Yes George, Lookin good! But do me a favour and paint that bloody spinner. Mine was red too. Now its black. Although I am thinking about painting it chrome, to make it look "fully sick" bro.

Thats the other great thing about Hot glue, Ben. You can fly your plane 5 minutes after you have finished repairing it!

Thats terrific Andrew..... but now you've got me interested! Where the hell is the rest of it?

Welcome home Kev! We missed you.... and Steve is happy your back.

Don't get me started!!!!!!

Only guys I know that do FMS are those F**ken Wan**rs in Queensland, and you don't even want to think about dealing with them.

I dont think Telemetry is a "must have" item for anyone apart from the guys that do FPV. You don't need to know how high you are, that just comes with experience. Where you are in the sky is as you ...

Probably a good idea to bring a shovel or even better a matic, along with your wellies. I will wait to have a look at the conditions in the morning. If it is still enough, early. I will throw a plan...
