HEY STEVE THAT'S WHAT I AM TALKIN ABOUT !!!!!! LOOKS LIKE SOME SERIOUS BOOTY YOU GOT BOLTED IN THERE. Hope im there Sunday to see the fireworks..... Should be "fully sick bro". Your paint job look...

Hello all Who and what is OMP. By the way Steve, did you know that you need a licence for space flight, that motor looks big enough to launch the space shuttle... if you bolted that sucker onto Paul...

Hey Kieran Cant find wing set up or anything to do with Delta in my radio. I have Mix 1 / Mix 2 or Wingtailmix setup????with elevon dualaileron or whoops forget about it my scroll wheel just died .....

Hey Kev Youve got a DX6i What do you plug your servos into on the receiver? Do I need a Y harness or is it programmed in the radio? And how do you set up the elevon mix? I havent put my radio gear...

Hello fellow Skyfun pilots Just picking all your brains again (Kiran,Kev,Steve) can anyone give me a good C of G measurement from the tip of the nose for the Skyfun. The manual says it should be slig...

Hey Steve Good to see your Funjet upgrade progressing. I have modified my wings to run the servos on the top of the wings as well and will be running HK digital metal servos. It makes sense... don"t...

Hey Steve That engine mount looks awsome. I would take it easy on applying too many coats of urathane. It is not very strong at all until mixed with fibreglass. Just as polyester resin is brittle a...

Now that sounds like a plan Steve My construction is progressing nicely. Striped all the decals, sanded the airframe and just this afternoon finnished epoxying the whole thing together. Ive retapped...

OK plane construction has commenced. Carbon fibre and fulalage glassing will commence this week I have recieved my Scorpion 2221-8 motor (same as Steves) and have ordered an 85 amp ESC that is 40 gr...

Steve I will be flying tomorrow but have to work in the morning and wont get down to the field before 12 at the earliest Will see you then to discuss engine mounts if you are still there.

My Skyfun is fitted with the standard mount thanks Steve, I was going to upgrade prior to construction to avoid the posibility of failue as I have read a few of you guys have had issues with the stan...

Howdy all Yo Sky Fun Jet compatriots Steve suggested upgrading or replacing the standard motor mount as he has had 1 or 2 fail Does anyone have a part number or website that has a suitable replacm...

Hey Steve Thanks heaps for all the information. Your a champion, I really do appreciate all your help The plan it to build a thermonuclear bullet, but Im only a rookie so we will have to wait and s...

Hello aviators It is all your fault... Yes thats right .....Steve, Kev and Kieran I have been watching you,.... screaming around the sky at Mach 2 It looks like way to much fun So now I want to pl...

I have experimented with just about every possible aileron attitude change you could make to a PZ T28, just because I could because it's such a stable predictablel platform. I agree with all of the a...

My beastie is now running a new Turnigy G25 570kv motor on a custom made carbon fibre engine mount with a 10 x 7 prop, running a 60 amp Plush ESC. I'm running it on 4S with a 3300 Nano pack, everythi...

Yeh right....... as you said KV Bahahahahahahahahaha

Thanks for doing the math Steve, I figured that, and plan on running the 10 x 8, it will be working well within itself so it will churn out a shit load of torque without any effort. "Meesalikadis"

Post Mortum on the HK G15 950Kv motor: Striped the motor this afternoon to see if I could find the cause for the failure. Although the motor was only drawing 42 amps at full throttle and I spent alm...

Yeh Steve, the PZ Trojan is a lot like my stomach, it always seems to cope with abuse, it doesn't matter what type of beer or how much I stuff into it, it always seems to say " is that the best you go...

Performance Update: For those of you that saw it, you know what sort of performance I was getting out of the HK G15 in my Trojan...... well..... that all came to a smokey end this afternoon when the ...

Hi Guys Just stumbled accross this on E Bay while looking at E flite stuff. If anyone is thinking about retrofitting their T28 with an Eflite Power 15 this motor mount is definatley the goods. http...

Hey Steve Cant help you with throw rates. Probably because I use a DX6i. But my expo rates are Aileron 40 % Elevator 40 % Rudder 60 % I personally prefer to make that dead spot at centre stick a...

I'm pretty sure he used these. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__9218__Canopy_Lock_30x8mm_10pcs_bag_.html Gazz

Thanks for taking the time to read our build thread Space Angel. You will love the big Super Tucano, they fly very scale, the only problem with the airframe is that it is very heavy, once you add all...

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...

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 ...

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...

Yeh, Happy birthday young fella!

Nice work George..... Pretty impressed with those brakes ... they work well ...Dooh!!!

Well done mate, you need to get that C of G sorted though!. Mine flew straight and level with no trim required at all. Glad you had a sucssesful first flight.

Sweet ...... thats a good idea, I couldn't be stuffed driving all the way out there with the weather so unpredictable.... I think I will fly at McCoy!

Forgot all about this different insurance stuff, sorry mate. Until MOP 57 is sorted, you can't fly at Penrith. I don't like to look of the weather at this stage either, "It's blowing a friggen gale" s...

I will be flying Saturday this weekend... the wind is not looking to great at this stage but I have a family function on Sunday, so if you want to come to Penrith Saturday ..... Sweet, happy to take y...

Hi George The weekend weather is looking good but the wind is a bit of a concern Saturday morning wind 15 to 20 ks south west increasing in the afternoon 30 to 45 ks Sunday morning 20 to 30 ks easi...

Will do mate. You are right, I do have an amp tester with 4 mm bullets and if the weather permits I may be heading out west. I will let you know Friday night. Gazz

Hey George. Sorry I had to leave in such a hurry on Sunday, I wanted to help with your trials but got called away. How did your testing go?

I'm happy to talk you through a flight at McCoy George, but in all sincerity I wouldn't fly it there until you have a few flights under your belt and are comforable with the beastie at a place where a...

Happy to help out with a PEMAC visit George. You will want to fly it in some space first, It is very fast on approach even with full flaps and flying it slower than you think you should be. I have h...

Its definately better than the Hacker A50-14 but cant really be compared to the 50-16 because it has a much higher kv. So it's sort of on the middle but not....if you get my drift.

Maiden flight report Take 2 (sort of) With the new OS motor ready for action I headed out to PEMAC for some flight testing. The difference in throttle response between the Hacker and the OS is huge....

Yes George, Lookin good! But do me a favour and paint that bloody spinner. Mine was red too. Now its black. Although I am thinking about painting it chrome, to make it look "fully sick" bro.

That looks great George, I would cut a hole in the foam you have against the forward bulkhead to allow some airflow through the aircraft to cool your ESC and battery otherwise things may tend to get a...

Good thinking 99.

Yeh was thinking about putting my Hacker A60-22 out of my big Sukhoi in it. It is 217kv and currently spinning a 20 x 16 prop running on 10S. It could spin a 16 x 14 without even trying. That would w...

Yes but the prop to ground clearance only allows a maximum prop of 16" diameter. So a big low kv motor would be counter productive.

You dead right there Kieran, After todays trials I will see what modifications may be afoot.

Last piece of work was adding weight to the nose to get it trimmed... 230 grams of weight..... I dont know if any of you guys have thought of this before but because I needed to add so much weight I ...
