Hi Wayne I have the Hacker A60-22 in my Egde 540 that came out of my Seb Art Sukhoi 140. So I used the mount that I bouught with the motor. http://www.espritmodel.com/aluminum-mount-a60.aspx Esprit...

Nice work Jason, looking forwrd to seeing Mark 2.

No probs John, I will give you a set when I see you next... maybe this weekend.

Purcahsing new aircraft is a very personal thing... no one can tell you what you should get, but most people will. The trick is learning where you want to be with your flying and understanding your cu...

We are on the same page Frank I would re think the Skyraider they have lots of issues. Pick something else.... just a personal opinion The Viper is a riper but will have issues with grass becaus...

Can any of you boffins tell me what class this sweet beastie fits into. If its an EF1 plane then everyone else is in serious trouble. Its electric but I think its to small and to light for EF1. I r...

Hey Jason I have had a very thourough look at all the specifications on both the Shoestring and the Sundowner. In your humble opinion which airframe do you think might have the edge and why?

You don't have to worry about me Claudio, I can't even fly a plane at the moment mate, let alone build one. Me thinks it will be after Christmas before I can fly anything that really boogies!

Bloody Hell Jason..... Youv'e sold me on EF1 mate..... Those combustion engines just sound like WAY too much work for me. If I take up racing.... or should I say WHEN I take up racing it will be wi...

The old school general rule of thumb was to learn on a high wing aircraft they have a natural self leveling effect because of the high wing and slight dihedral, but that is old school, there are a wid...

Peter Pine also sells speed props. He is recognised as being the one of the fathers of electric flight in Australia. I have bought a lot of bits and pieces from him. His prices are pretty respectab...

I agree with Steve, generating enough heat to melt a solder joint can only come from a poor quality joint in the first place. I would suggest it was a crap joint to start with, a poor tradesman always...

Hey Frank, happy that the maiden went well, they are a pretty terrific aircraft Gazz

I would hazzard a guess that Indolingo has a set up problem with his Rare Bear. The aircraft is very C of G sensative and if your set it up how HK suggest it is very tail heavy and a pig to fly. I had...

Thanks Jason I am probably going home this evening, but thanks for the offer. I think a test piece with clear on it is worth a try mate. I recon the gloss would make the "out of mould finish" look h...

Very nice work Jason, I really like the colour scheme!

The HK 1400mm Rare Bear is not an FMS airframe Jason. I've been doing a heap of research myself and the only thing I can find that looks close is the HK 1600mm P51 Mustang prop, but as I dont know th...

Hey Steve, they are really cheap, I think I will order 2..... NOT!

I tried mine on a both a 4000 and 5000 during initial flight testing and found that the 5000 ruined the flight performance. I fly mine on a Zippy compact 4000 and it isn't a pylon racer but it sure is...

I had another 3 flights with mine at Penrith on the weekend mate. I moved the C of G back 5mm from standard for the first flight and then another 5 for the last 2 flights and it almost hovers hands o...

Thanks for the well wishes guys. The first flight was a trim and nerve stabiliser, as well as a battery/ flight time test. Next one will be a lot longer. The flight batts were still at 3.94 volts pe...

It really does look like a full size bomber up close. The detail and finish quality is the best I've seen on a big foamy. Nice camera work too.

Well the maiden flight went like clock work. The only glitch was that I had to cycle the retracts twice to get them to go up. Conditions were perfect with a clear sky and literally no wind. I took ...

Mine weighs 5.36 kg ready to fly. Thats with 2 x 5S 5000 35C-65C Nanotech batteries. What batteries are you runing in your Frank?

I use Align Velcro straps from ZJ Hobbies.... it is the best you will find. http://www.zeejayhobbies.com.au/tools-accessories/velcro-tape-cable-ties/cat_125.html?sort_by=&brand=1&brand=1

The big blue spinner sets us apart mate... mine is the same colour as the red on the airframe and I've got my big white wheel spats on mine so they will be easy to pick in the air.

Hey Frank That's a bloody nice lookin' plane you got there champ!! Looking forward to a litle bit of tandem flying mate!

Holly Hanger 9 Batman, the big P51 is finally finished. Flight batteries arrived yesterday so I spent a few hours last night getting the C of G sorted, then I manufactured the battery tray and did th...

Any time after 9 am should be OK. We have had a lot of rain in the last 2 weeks and because our field is a flood basin it will probably still be a little damp under foot. Saturday or Sunday between ...

Claudio..... me thinks you may have a dark side??????

Frank/Jason Had to let you YAK 55 junkies know about this lovely beastie, 2800mm wingspan..... Yeeeeeeehhaaaaaaaa ! http://www.rctrader.com/category/310/GasPetrol/listings/8506/Aeroworks-Yak55-1...

I'm a JR man and never had ANY control glitch's with my JR11X using Spectrum receivers ...but I must admit that new FRSky radio really looks the goods!

Ditto what samste just said. I use Spectrum AR600's without a satellite in both my Skyfuns and never had a glitch. On the other hand, over the years we have had some major 36 meg failues at McCoy th...

Has anyone checked out the field? I guess it will be in a pretty poor state after all this rain?

This is a P-51 lovers delight, it tells the story of the development of the Mustang throughout the war. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VuvbYfQawY

I hope you don't mean "Nuplex" Jason... if you are purchasing products from them you are in lots of trouble...... just kidding mate, my X wife is the CEO.

I will be down early in the morning to assist with membership renewals... hopefully the weather will hold.

You didn't answer my question buddy, and I know you aren't doing it to get rick quickley, so what's the bottom line to purchase one of these "Jasomites" ... and yes I am happy to accept royalties for ...

Looks incredibly labour intensive mate, how much do you think you will be selling the finished product for?

Sorry mate, I was not suggesting you were being negative. You could always reverse the concept and build a bus with an up ramp at the back and a down ramp at the front, that way we could just drive o...

You could write a book on the problems with it, but I don't like to be negative when someone comes up with a good idea!

Had to share this one with you all. Those Chinese are clever thinkers! http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=t1gTzc7-IbQ&feature=player_embedded

You should probably read the posts before making comments Arron... he won't be flying it at Parra, its too big... you will have to come to Penrith if you want to see the maiden.

My only other comment is............. SHIT COLOUR, you wanna stay about the tree line at PEMAC with this one, even if it has a 67 foot wing span, Iv'e seen heaps of people lose their plane against t...

Bloody Hell George You must be running out of room at your place champ. Looks like a wizzard bit of kit though mate, what breed is it and what's the story with the wingspan?

Just thought I should jump in here and clarify one thing! CAFI's (Club approved flight instructors) are approved by the clubs certified MAAA Instructors to assist new pilots to get air time. Th...
