Hi Aviators Has any one been down to the field in the last few days and got a strip condition report. I havent flown for 3 weeks and was wondering what aircraft to bring with me. Gazz

Hi Arron I dont think anyone can say which one is particularly "the best". I fly with "Pheonix Professional" it has life time upgrades, heaps of aircraft and the general consensus is that it is the ...

Hi Guys Unfortunately I have to work all weekend so I wont be flying... Hope the weather is kind to you all. Gazz

Thats fantastic flying. Kev and I will have to put in some serious air time together and get our PC-9s happening. Me thinks there will be more than hours to get anywhere near that level of flying th...

Hey Andrew I remember you saying you had to add some ballast to the front of your HK500 when you fitted it in the EC 135. How did you work out the correct C of G (so to speak) or did you just te...

Hi Kieran Ive got a pretty good set of drivers, but if its got Align on it and it less than $20 I have a set. Thanks. Gazz

If you fly mode 1 fixed wing. I would not reccommend trying Mode 2 for helis. You will completeley blow up your brain thinking about the hand eye motor control. I fly my heli mode 1 and I have no is...

Hi Pete Nobody does a build video as good as Finless Bob. I studied his Trex 600 build videos and they are seriously the goods. But with that said let your own grey mater have a bit of a thin...

Hi Team Just letting you all know I wont be flying this weekend. So one of the other committee members will have to open up. I off to Foster Tuncurry to visit my dear old mum. Hope the rain stays ...

Hi Chris I WILL be flying tomorrow but at this stage I will probably need to go into work for a few hours to sort out an engine fault. If you would like I will drop by on route to work and unlock th...

I only look at the one for that particular order. I have refered back to previous orders a few times but Im sure if you get ride of the dated stuff it would be sweet. Gazz

Yes I do Kev I droped in on the way home from work at 11.30 and had a quick walk around the field. It is very wet with puddles on the strip, boggy under foot and the grass is out of control. I was ...

That looks heaps better Andrew. Looks a lot smoother in the air. Sounds like that nasty vibration has gone to. Well done mate. Gazz

Right back at ya with the lol mate No biggy with the twisting and turning stuff, just remember to bring your gyro setup instructions and we will get the little beastie in the air. If you havent got ...

You have enough on your plate my friend... You have taken a huge step into the abiss and purchased a Helicopter, life will never be the same again....... let the balancing act begin. Good luck my f...

The weekend beckons and weather permitting I will be at the field from 8 am. See you all there. PS Sunday is looking a little ordinary. Gazz

Hey Rob Thanks for the offer, but as we speak I have a couple on route from HK. As it turns out there is no great hurry anyway, my Airwolf fuse has been distributed by Flying Hobby and started its t...

Simon I dont know what planet you were on yesterday. But I was at the field from 8 am till 1.30pm and we had nothing more that a light zepher all day. Flying conditions were almost perfect, apart fr...
