Nicely done Andrew, It's good to see you back on the sticks. Gazz

I've already got half a dozen MG 939's on the shelf so its good that we are all on the same wavelength with our servos. I have not had a really good look at the placement of things yet but I too am t...

The selection of motors for a specific aircraft is a grey art that takes a very long time to learn. There is no right or wrong and there are certainly no lines drawn in the sand when it comes to picki...

Hi Steve Let us know how the field is fairing after yet another deluge. I am thinking about droping in on the way home from work on Wednesday although the forcast is not looking to good at this stag...

Same as any motor Rob. Depending on the current draw but I use bullets. The Stumax 90 I am currently installing in my L39 draws a little over 100amps but the manufacturer recommends 4 mm bullets, I q...

Things are looking up I will be opening up Area 51 at 8.00am Sweeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!

Depends on who you are buying it from Chris. I have purchased a few things from Esprit Model in the USA. And I actually speak to them and get custom shipping done through Express American Post. (Not...

Hey Dave If you need another option, I have some very small servo speed controllers that have reversers built in. They are yours if you need them.

You guessed it, 7.45 am and it is still pissing down. The radar shows it raining from Melbourne through to Brisbane. The only good thing is that they say it will stop this afternoon and that the for...

I have the combination lock for A51. If the weather is boarder line ring me or post if you need the field open. If the weather is fair I will be flying at A51, but if its like it has been forget it.

I use Sikaflex 241. It dries very hard but can be cut with an exacto knife for removal if required. It is a marine adhesive sealant available from some hardware stores and shipchandlers.

Howdy Expensive EDF Enthusiasts I have just posted a video on Utube, hopfully helping anyone who is building a Jet Teng model, obviously with the emphasis on an L39. I will add to my mini documentar...

Thanks Steve Just checked out the site. Pricing looks pretty reasonable.

The cut out being off centre and to the right is standard on any good quality airframe Pete. It applies thrust down and to the right to compensate for throttle and torque. You will notice when you bo...

Weather permitting....ha ha haaaaa. I will give the big Trojan a fly at A51 tomorrow. Franks and Georges both fly well so Im not stressed about the performance, however if the motor doesn't cut the m...

No worries mate. I will give you a call.

Hi Chris. I just got back to sunny Sydney (NOT!) this afternoon. I am on holidays for the rest of the week. At this stage looking at the forecast flying anywhere looks crap. But if you are going for...

Hi Dave After our discussion last night. I completed my T 28, lots of mucking around but replaced the rooted gear door servo, all working sweet know. I amp tested the standard ESC with 2 brand new (...

The G46 on 5S will pull the wings off it mate..... yeeeeehaaaa. I run a 13 x8 prop on my PC9 that draws just over 70 amps. With the Decathalon I recon a 12 x 10 or 12 x 9 would be a tractor and keep...

That looks like a nice plane Paul, and very reasonably priced too!

I finished my Trojan last night at 11 pm, dropped in the battery to test everything and when I hit the retract down switch everything worked except the right hand door just went "click,click,click,cli...

I have to agree, the idea of having variable flap positioning might sound practical and would be if you were sitting in the aircraft and had that seat of the pants sensitivity as you do in a light air...

I will be keen to hear your finding on the motor test Steve. I have as a matter of course already replaced the ESC in my Trojan to a Turnigy Plush 60. When I get it finished I will do a few ground t...

Jees Dave thats a great idea... I wonder where you got that brainstorm from...... So I take it from reading the above that you dont need to borrow the 4S batteries for the weekend. How is the sub st...

I also pulled mine out of the box last night. And quickley decided that this aircraft would require a few tiny but crutial upgrades to pass my G load tests (also know as aerobatic flight). I have cut...

L.M.A.O.

We certainly did Steve. We had a good turn out today and Wayne bought 3 rakes with him. The field was not great for big aircraft but was ok for smaller ones. Gazz

I dont blame you Rob, If I wasn't saving for a special project I'd buy that sucker in a heartbeat. I recon you could even throw a couple of Jetcat P 20's in those nacelles to turn it into a fully sic...

Mccoy is ok just.can somone please bring a rake or two. Gazz.

Im leaving in 20 minutes Dave, so call me and I will tell you where I am flying. I hope it will be McCoy

I will check McCoy field in the morning, if it is OK I will open up. If its a little average, I will open up A 51. Gazz

Yeh come on Steve, no half hearted reports can we fly at McCoy tomorrow or what? Gazz By the way, you guys missed an awsome day at Wisemans.

Saturday morning 6.30 a little high cloud but the forcast looks promissing. I am heading up to Wisemans but will drop by A51 and put on the combi lock. Have a agreat day flying men. Gazz

Its 6.30 Saturday morning, there is high cloud but athe forcast looks ok so I am heading up to the mission, hope to see a few of you guys up there. Gazz

I am still planning on heading out there tomorrow if the weather looks promissing. But will not make a desicion until early in the morning. If the weather is crapy I will be flying at A51. Will pos...

Hi guys I am hoping to flying at Wisemans ferry tomorrow but that will depend on the weather tomorrow morning. If it looks like being a crapy day I will be flying at A51 but if it looks prommissing ...

Yes Jason I had a very good look around (see my field condition report) Gazz

Sorry Jason I droped by at 3.30 and it was howling so I left.

You hit the nail on the head there Paul, I was going to join Steve for some combat aircraft evaluation today but the wind is howling. So I stopped to check the field on the way home and I am sorry to ...

Hey Steve I will be there between 3 and 3.30. Can you bring the streamers. Gazz

Sorry for the late update guys, I went in to work this afternoon to sort out the mayhem, so now I dont have to go in tomorrow morning. So to cut through the crap, I will be opening up Area 51 tomorro...

You D man Steve, I will look forward to using your clever piece of equipment as soon as I finish my new twin rig fun jet. Can you tell me what the measurement is rail to rail, the twin could foul on ...

That sounds good to me. I was planning on being there at a Sparrows fart anyway, but the barby bangers make being an early riser a sweet deal. Shame as always about McCoy field but this friggin rain j...

Bravo Zulu to the pilot on that aircraft, what a super smooth landing under pressure. I hope all the passengers buy the guy a Christmas card, after they get their undies back from the drycleaners. !!...

You got that right! Bloody rain!

Weather forcast does not look that promising but if it is not raining or blowing a gale I will be flying from about 3 pm tomorrow. Gazz

They look like Hacker motors to me Dave?

It really doesn't need that much space Steve. Landing roll is shorter than my PC-9 But now you have asked I will make an effort and carry out said upgrade. The only difficult thing is finding a rep...

I hope you are going to bring the C 17 George, I have been thinking about buying one so it would be nice to check over yours. That will help me make a decision. Gazz

I would love to join you Steve but I cant make it tomorrow, but let me know if you deceide to fly Thursday, I can be there just after 3pm. Gazz
