See me down at the field on the weekend mate and I will go through it all with you. The second lead fron your ailerons goes into Aux 1 on your reciever. The general rule of thumb is the right aileron ...

What do you mean you forgot "MOTHERS DAY".......... !!!!!!

Your not Robinson Crusoe the John... I charge my Lipo's in the garage at home to... I am fastideous with my safety and charging protocol... you can take all the precautions in the world but never kno...

Nice recovery by the old girl eh! The forecast looks terrific for the next 7 days, so a nice light breeze with the forecast sunshine should help have the field back in order in next to no time at all!

I wont be available this weekend, weather permitting, I am doing an Instructors course out west.

You wanna git that there big old FMS Trojan built boy, let me tell you, ye won't be needin them littluns no more.

Power Plant Installation As this is an I/C upgrade the motor mount had to be designed from scratch. I had a number of options available but ended up using a plate and bar stand off, I manufactured th...

Sorry Edited Version Not Happy

A simple way to add differential without complex radio tuning is to set the zero position on your aileron servo control horns leaning towards the front of the wing slightly... about 10 degrees or just...

Actually Jason ... there is 1 Rare Bear, 1 Rare Trojan and what looks like a Rare P47. This man is packing some heat...

You D man Kieran...

HO-LY SHIT MICKEY... that thing boogies. Very nice work.

I know mate I did that. I ordered 2 x 1350kv motors, 2 x 1850kv motors and 2 x Changesun 90's. The 2 x 1850s were in plastic padded bags the 1350's were in the boxes. I labeled them with a texta beca...

I will be down nice and early this morning, should be there about 8

Very happy it all went well Frank... told you tail heavy was good (only for 3D though)

Oh... they exist mate... they just cost an arm and a leg! I actually had to sell my kidneys so I could afford to buy one! But its peace of mind... so when all that money is belting around in the sky...

Welcome to the build thread for my new Super n cheaper 1800mm Edge 540T. I purchased this to replace my Sebart Sukhoi 140 2000mm. I will be installing all of the hardware from the Sukhoi into this air...

Almost forgot to mention.. its is the latest thing from Spectrum and has dual power supply with power sensative redundancy.... so to cut through the technical crap, it runs 2 separate power supplies t...

Looks good mate.... how the hell did you get a 90mm EDF into a 70mm EDF fuse???

Don't worry to much about that C of G shit Frank, its a 3D model isnt it? Tail heavy is good...

Its no speed demon, I recon the prop is about a 13 x 6 or thereabouts, so its not all that quick, its just got gobs of power. The prop actually makes the coolest sound at about half throttle but it c...

Thanks mate... I will be looking into a transport box or two myself.

I would have come along ... but a few days notice isn't enough... sorry guys!

Finished the Electronics installation and did the first wing to fusalage fit up to test all my servos under load to check that my control system has the balls to hang in there for 10 minutes. My JR 1...

More than likely!

I'm sure it will be quick enough Steve... you know you don't have to have 17 to 1 power in everything you own mate. Most quick EDF's are 0.7 to 1 some of HK's are only 0.5 to 1 and they fly fine.

Took the RB up this afternoon after finishing the mowing. First flight was with a 4000 compact as far forward as it would go. It took off in about 5 meters at half throttle, a little trimming followe...

Nice work Jason... wouldn't have expected anything less from you. How much would you say it cost to build the box, did you buy the foam specifically for it, and if you did, what size do the sheets co...

I will check my manual for the C of G when I get home this afternoon Steve!

Finally got the replacement retracts from HK, they were pretty good actually its is just the backwards and forwards communication that slows things down. Anyway... forcast for tomorrow afternoon is g...

As expected Kieran ...you D man! I knew you would have your finger on the pulse. Might not be to long before we see big mother Chevrons on Heli blades, Blue Thunder's wisper mode make not be science...

We can get the strip sorted first mate. I will have a fly when the work is done. Mower is in the van, see you there!

I am planning on dropping by to maiden my big Rare Bear tomorrow Steve, weather permitting of course, I finally got the replacement retracts from HK, so I will throw the mower in as well, I should be ...

OK ...What's the story with the Chevron/sawtooth on the trailing edges?

If a Great Planes will fit, I will certainly use it......I might use a big Hacker, but these days I usually make my own, with a little help from Jasons lathe (thanks again mate)

Though I would reactivate this thread because I couldn't find another one that suited the subject. Super and Cheaper are having a SALE so don't blink. Jason has a few of their aircraft, a mate from ...

Sorry mate I did say retire.....oh I forgot one.... no wife!!!!

Looking good Steve. Thanks for all the preliminary work mate. Now I can steal your idea ha ha... although to be honest I have done a lot of reasearch on these things and was planning on doing somethi...

Bloody hell Jason,you really go the extra mile to get ride of that drag... nice job mate. Any idea how much of an increase in top speed you might get out of said deflectors?

I like to think I'm a pretty smart fella... but I would have thought that an irregular shape like that at the the trailing edge of the prop would have generated more turbulance not reduced it... just ...

Looks like a nice place to consider for retirement, No rain, no wind, no power lines, no trees, no buildings, no waiting, no problems!

Its a little sad that our brothers out in the middle of nowhere in a municipality of (not many) have a club with a shelter, toilets and a Barby.... but good on them. We on the other hand in the metro...

Welcome to the club Steve... you might be a little concerned about the ramifications ie: a few nights on the couch, but once you get the big T into the air, you will have a smile a mile wide.

Well Surprise, Surprise the field is in reasonable condition. Just got a report from Jason who is already down there, he says althogh it is a little heavy the strip is in very good condition and there...

OK Jason you have my attention... I'm interested ... what Link????

I recon the field will be well and trully swimming by the weekend Steve if it isnt already... forecast is for more rain over the next 4 days.

Mine is like a HK back order. Its coming.... Iv'e got everthing I need to complete it... I just need to find the time. Throw those bloody retracts/landing gear in the bin Steve... that's how I am ke...

That aggresive pumping of the throttle is never gunna help with a decent prop hang, I'm no expert but the smoother you are the easier it is to balance the aircraft, keeping the throttle nice and clos...

The light beech props that Jason recommended are actually for IC engines, I have used them before and they are very good props but but are a little on the heavy side, these are more suitable for elect...

I get my big wooden props from HK, they do up to 21" in the light wooden electrics and they are beautifully balanced. Hobbies in the hills carries just about everything APC but are obviously a little...
