Your attention to detail never ceases to amase me Jason... nice work mate!!! PS: Don't throw those mounds away, HK might sponsor you in thier R&D devision.:D::thumbup::D

Not biased towards 3D .... come on Jas .... you.... no way... would never have picked that mate .....:-)

Sorry Jason I droped by at 3.30 and it was howling so I left.

Sorry I can't drop by and help you guys but my schedule this week is off the ricker. Thanks for the effort.

I have to agree, the idea of having variable flap positioning might sound practical and would be if you were sitting in the aircraft and had that seat of the pants sensitivity as you do in a light air...

I dont think Telemetry is a "must have" item for anyone apart from the guys that do FPV. You don't need to know how high you are, that just comes with experience. Where you are in the sky is as you ...

Thats not actually the case guys. The different cure time epoxies have SIMILAR compositions the only difference is that the faster the set time the more brittle the epoxy is when it completes curing...

I would love to join you Chris, but unfortunately work comes first!

I am in the middle of a new build myself. What servos are you thinking of running. I have just ordered these beasties for my new build which also has a flight weight of 2800grams. http://www.hobbyk...

Bravo Zulu Smuzz, That is good news, I too hope to be down nice and early tomorrow... but that will depend on what the boss has planned for the weekend!

Yeh and that the Orange HK receivers suck when compared to Spectrum

The nearest thing available on the market according to Peter is a 6x6 Graupner speed prop, I figure if I am sharing the aircrafts flight load between 2 drives it wont half the load but it would certai...

I agree with your comparisons Jason, but he is currently drawing way to much current with the 13 x 6, so some field tests with a variety of props may be necessary to get the performance Frank is after...

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 ...

I am planning on going flying for a few hours only tomorrow morning. Will be opening up at about 8am weather permitting. Gazz

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

Thats a nice looking beastie Paul. What wingspan is it. My little MIG maurader will be delivered tomorrow. Its a 64mm 4300kv 40amp foamy made by Freewing from Dwanes Planes. It has a 800mm wingspan ...

The committee will be discussing this ongoing problem tomorrow evening, but at the end of the day, it is the responsibility of EVERY pilot to adhere to the very simple safe flying protocols EVERY time...

The 9 is almost done, It will be running on a Hacker A50-14S 425kV motor on a Turnigy 6S 4000 through a HK Mosfet 85 amp ESC, spinning a 12 x 12 APC prop. Ive spent a lot of time modifying the small f...

Pylon racers all have a few things in common, they are small wings, very little drag (because they get their lift from speed not aerodynamics) and big power plants. Thats all about all there is to it...

No worries, I will throw it in my flight bag. What size is your shaft/ shaft to prop adapter.

Howdy Men I have my mum down from the country this weekeend so I probably won't be flying, the weather looks terriffic though so I hope you all have a great weekend, just remember to stay away from t...

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 ...

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...

Well thank you very much Mr Hayerdahl (Rob) for the offer. I need 1 sheet of 2 mm x 100mm x about 1 meter and 1 length of 4mm x 4mm x about 1 meter, would appreciate it if you can help. Gazz

You have obviously lost your job too Steve and I really am sorry for that ... but what is Stuart doing with all that stock ?????

There are no "Holdens" or "Fords" they are V8 supercars. They might have a babge stuck on them, they are a lot of things but Holdens and Fords they aint, not buy a long long way and any one who think...

I will be flying Sunday this weekend and will have the sample hats for fitting if any club members are interested in purchasing one. The are 100% UV stabalised synthetic and are simmilar in design to ...

Me too..... Its always nice to have a big chunky power supply in your pocket. And maybe then I could switch off the battery charger that has been running non stop in my garage for 2 years.

Very Impressed Paul The guy in the rear was obviously flying by watching the image from the camera on a portable screen. The real talent is the guy controlling the camera he has really got his finge...

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

I agree, guys, great idea but I dont think we would have a hope in hades getting approval for that.

Here is a facinating look at how clever the Ford Motor company was BEFORE the Americans even entered the war.... Most impressive. http://www.youtube.com/embed/iKlt6rNciTo?rel=0.

And we don't love power do we Kev...... mwuh ah ah arrrrr.

Frank The higher mAh rating doesn't give you more power it just gives you more fuel in the tank, so to speak. (Increasing your Mah is just like putting in a bigger fuel tank) then you can stay in th...

Yes I'd have to agree that the terrific dubbing made the video, Great choise of music.... Loved it!

You guys are talking about 2 completely different things. Wayne is asking about flight setup,you are talking about flight timing. Flight timing is critical to 2 factors, how long you say up there an...

You aren't a student anymore Wayne, and haven't been for quite some time!

Thanks for the link Andrew I have emailed the supplier and they have been informative and very helpful. So I have just ordered and paid for one of these babies. http://www.flying-hobby.com/sh...

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

Well said Kev. Check the load on the rods with the servos horns removed but pulling through the same plane (and I dont mean your plane, I mean the position they would be in if connected to the servos...

I've been spray painting Motor bikes, cars and boats for over 25 years Steve. If you would like me to drop by one afternoon, I can give you a personal tutorial which will be ten times more helpful th...

I dont think thats the sort of equipment Steve was refering to Drew and incidentally Ive never been let down by my old equipment sonny.

Hi everyone! Don't foget we are having a shirt size fitting session this weekend at the field to place our club polo shirt order. If you don't order one this weekend you will miss out. We need to ord...

Thats a pretty 3D monster you got there Wayne. The 3S package with surfice at your current skill level, 4S would probably be a little to "on the edge of out of control", but you can certainly grow in...

Hi Pilots I was just checking out some stuff I need on Modelflights website and stumbled accross this mega deal. If you fly superlights or are building a super light plane you don't want to miss thi...

Howdy RC Pilots No apparent problems at work today so I will be flying tomorrow morning. Ingo you can have a sleep in if you want. I will be opening up at 8.30 in the morning (may be a few overnigh...

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

OK Pilots As our field looks like a corn field due to the out of control paspallum, I am planning on mowing the field tomorrow by hand because it is to wet for Darrens mower, but we cant have a long ...

No problem at all John, might catch up next weekend!
