Steve did you get the balsa or would you like me to bring some down to the field in the morning. You can drop by my place nice and early to pick up the film so you can repair the Nemesis, give me a ri...

Yes it will mate, but I am trying to keep the weight down in the thing, thats why I am trying this out. If it is still a little lack lustre in performance I can up the S rating, but I will try it on 6...

Nice job Jason, it looked pretty straight in the sky!

I am flying out west tomorrow!

Change of plans George. Picked up an OS 375 from H in the H. I will replace the OS 490 that I am running in it on 6S at the moment with the 375. the 490 is running out of puff spinning the 15 x 8/2 ...

Thanks Steve's

I should be flying Friday too... but not till a bit later in the morning.

Where are you going to get it from Frank. The Australian distributor doesn't import the 140 anymore, I know because I was talking to him yesterday because I need a new fuse for mine. Might have to set...

Sorry you had to miss the MASNSW meeting Steve.... chin up old boy... what!! I have to work tomorrow... hope the sun shines on you all.

I was running this motor on 10S in my Sebart Sukhoi 140 spinning a 20 x 12 2 blade, it weighed 4.6 kgs and flew like magic,until a BEC failure killed it. I would actually rather run an Eflite 160 245...

Hi George Just thought I would give you a little update on my Super Tucano. The last few times I've flown it (at PEMAC) it has been pulsing a lttle at full throttle, and that is something that both...

I was about to pack the mower and head down to give you a hand Steve, but the sky has gone black and its making lots of rumbling sounds... it doesn't look good at all... so you will be Robinson Crusoe...

Depends on what temp. you monitor. I know from experience and a lot of reading that the absolute maxumum temp you should not exceed with you battery is 50 degrees C. Most good quality speedies and ...

Personally I'd go with the 192 as well, just remember that as Prop diameter increases , so does current draw (Amperage) so the trick is to get the thrust you need without generating to much current. ...

There is some vey very interesting stuff in that there link matey, thanks Smuzz!

A lttle tip Wayne, make sure you put a lock nut at both ends of the rods against each of the clevises

Hobbies in the Hills, Frank

Looks like a great day was had by all... SPEWIN' I missed it! This looks like a nice place to visit, maybe next year! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wToa7MIh68A

Hobbies in the Hills sells really top quality Dubro Servo linkage sets mate. Iv'e got a heap at home, if you what to bring the wing around to my place with servos installed and centred, we can set the...

Don't want to sound condersending Wayne but you haven't got the servo mounted around the wrong way or got the right and left covers mixed so the control arm is in the wrong spot?

At the end of the day " old cleache I know" but it doesn't matter what you fly, If you cause damage by that action, be it personal or property "YOU" are responsible. being a member of a club simply re...

Thank you men, appreciate the effort.

Steve Where do you set your C of G on the Stryker with the 90mm EDF. I've had a bit of an epiphany and decieded not to buy any more new aircraft until I get all the beasties in the wardrode in the s...

I am pretty sure no one out there has a funfighter, I know because last Sunday there were about 25 members at the field, I took my T28 funfighter up for a blast and most of the members were gobsmacked...

Well hello Vipernauts its time to get the lead out and get these beasties airborne. After an absolute shitload of maybe this and maybe that, I finally got around to ordering all the goodies for my Vi...

Sorry I couldn't get down to help out today men, I had an ISSUE at work and didn't get out of the place till after 6pm.

Very nicely done Jason. Its good to see the fine detail and effort you've put into it. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

I can't make it today... stuck at work with isues!!! Have you got any details on the mower Frank? Where is "up the road"? Can you get:- Make, Model, Age, Cut diameter, Physical size/ dimensions et...

Hey Steve. What size battery are you running in yours?

What time are you planning on mowing Jason. Depending on work, I might be able to come down for a few hours.

That's great news Frank, glad to hear it all when smoothly you got the bugs ironed out and you enjoyed all your flights... but the best news is that you took it home in one piece ;)

Definately go with the K Force Speedie, they are worth every cent.

I didn't see any mention of "air out" holes Frank, don't forget to put a hole about 8mm in diameter down toward the tail on the underside of the fuse to let the air flow. There is no point in putting ...

Most guys that run 8, 10 or 12S power setups use 2 separate batteries and wire them is series, the main reason is that 2 x 5S batteries are much easier to fit into the airframe rather than 1 x 10S th...

I don't have one on mine,I am pretty sure none of the other guys run them either. The short 2 blade prop doesn't give any issues. Frank and Steve to touch'n'goes all the time and I am not aware of any...

Nice job Frank. That will look pretty "ken good it air.

I've got a AR6115 in my Minimoa glider and that sucker has been that far away I wasn't sure which way it was going and never had any isues with brown outs, on the other hand I've got a few AR500's in...

There is usually a pretty decent crowd from our club that head out to Blacktown for the annual fly in, I will certainly be making the trip if the conditions improve.

Sure have mate It has got enough torque to blow your budgie smugglers accross the street. 51 amps pulling 1100 watts should be a shade under 6000 rpm. Thats pretty cool on 6S with a 3kg aircraft. ...

I have been admiring this aircraft for some time, so as soon as it arrived in Oz I had to have one. The aircraft is made of a very hard EPO and is painted purple, all the other colours are ultra thin...

It certainly is great stuff... the only thing you have to be careful of is overheating it by leaving your aircraft in the sun on a hot day. If the hot melt glue temperature approaches 50 degrees it s...

Looks like we might need to have a little working bee and get ALL of the other club members involved. We don't ask much after all, so I think we might need to get everyone down to the field as soon as...

I have recieved a phone call from the company that is installing the fibre optic cables accross the entrance to our field. They hope to complete the works on Sunday March 10 to mimimise the effect on...

The rudder doesnt help that much once youve left the ground, it only controls yaw on throttle up while the tail is on the ground. If the aircraft is rolling excessively when you lift off, your prop is...

The only way to work around the torque steer is to use a LONG runway with a truck load of rudder and a very slow throttle up, you have to make sure you have a lot of ground speed before attempting to ...

I build hi performance engines for a living and that technology is nothing short of a quantum leap in performance, emmision reduction and fuel efficiency... way to go Koenigsegg

I was going to be there with my T28 funfighter but unfortunatley I have a family function on that I can not miss... spewin'!

Looks like a wash out for this one gents. Build em if you got em!

Tailplane and Rudder Assembly You would think that assembling the tailplane would be pretty simple, so did I ... Wrong! The elevator and rudder assembly was pretty straight forward using large CA hi...

If the battery is approved for higher C rate charging then your 6 amps is fine. Yes it will make a big difference, charging at 2C will cut charge time in half or thereabouts... Most standard Lipos pr...
