Does anyone have a pair of Z Pliers for setting the ends of servo wires? The wires that came with my Skyfun are way under size for what they are being asked to cope with. I have bought some new hea...

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...

What problems are you guys talking about. I was flying with a heap of you guys and then you were all gone, I thought you all just bailed. Lots of fun though. Gazz

Well Steve you've got no excuse then I will expect to see a few more servicable aircraft next weekend. I am supposed to doing my instructors couse this weekend, but under the prevailing conditions I'...

Thanks all I looked at and almost bought a Go Pro II while on holidays in Coffs recently. I have told the financial controller that is what I want Santa to get me. That is of course if the fat bast...

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...

You would be right there Chris, and that someone is Da da daaaaaaaaa! Captain Decadance to the rescue I will be at the field about 8.30

This isn't really a new thread but seeing that my oldest and most favorite plane died about 6 weeks ago..... It had to be replaced.... enter Sukhoi V2. Apart from the different colour, which I think...

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...

Gentlemen Could we please open a new post for this subject and not fill an important sticky with discussion... Thank you

Hi Paul Fast as compared to what ? I had a fly of the F16 and would agree that it is a pretty docile aircraft but I think it flies OK. I dont have Real flight so I cant compare. But as I said...

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

Does anyone know where I can get Loctite Hysol 9462 Epoxy adhesive in Australia???

Not being in the air is the biggest misery !!!

Hi Glen As far as I am aware there is actually no minimum age limit for flying RC aircraft. But the regulations require that before anyone can fly unsupervised they must passed as competant by a cer...

That is a very nice looking lady mate. Can I have some spec's please? Is it composite? And where the hell do you get one from?

Lookout !!!! Here it comes

I have just arrived home from work and it did not stop absolutely bucketing down all the way home. The field will be a no go for this weekend. Might try and get a fly in out west on Sunday.

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!

Always a good idea to up the anti just a little on the ESC Mick. Very sound security for your aircraft and the difference in weight and price to bump it up 10 or 20 amps is almost not even worth disc...

Thats a great tip Jason...... All you novice 3D pilots take note. This is the best way to tune you aircraft for well balanced 3D flight.

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

The selection of motors for a specific aircraft is a grey art that takes a very long time to learn. There is no right or wrong and there are certainly no lines drawn in the sand when it comes to picki...

Thanks heaps Paul Sounds simple when you know how.... I will give it a try Cheers Gazz

Where did you get the scale? That sounds like its just in the right range.

That sounds pretty cool Andrew Should sound FULLY SICK in the air. Nice job mate. Gazz

Here is a video that is worth a look. http://wimp.com/rcjet/

Hey Chris if you do go down this afternoon post before you go. What time you thinking? I will join you if the weather improves but for now its back to the building table.

The cut out being off centre and to the right is standard on any good quality airframe Pete. It applies thrust down and to the right to compensate for throttle and torque. You will notice when you bo...

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...

You obviously missed the brief on FMS aircraft Frank, Yes, they are beautiful airframes, Yes, they fly beautifully, and YES the electronics packages that come with said beautiful aircraft are absolute...

Hello Aviators I am planing on droping into the field for an hour or 2 on Wednesday afternoon,weather permitting. Forecast is looking good so far. Just thought I would give you all the heads up if ...

Looks good mate, well done... I hope the maiden goes without issue and at a speed that causes blurred vision.

I wont be flying tomorrow men, I have to go to a bloody christening at 11 am at Deewhy. (Yeehaa...NOT) So hope to see you all on Sunday. Runway permitting I will be maidening my new Deuces Wild.... ...

We certainly did Steve. We had a good turn out today and Wayne bought 3 rakes with him. The field was not great for big aircraft but was ok for smaller ones. Gazz

Who is going out to Blacktown tomorrow. I will probably go, but would like some company?

Well Steve.... balls in your court mate. Jason dosen't want the Sukhoi... are you intersted in the swap I mentioned

Sorry for the late update guys, I went in to work this afternoon to sort out the mayhem, so now I dont have to go in tomorrow morning. So to cut through the crap, I will be opening up Area 51 tomorro...

You swear Steve!!!!! Noooooooooooooooooo......

Ditto on the presentation Paul, That looks an absolute treat! Look forward to seeing that beautie tear up the sky.

Thanks for the update Steve Doesn't sound to promising though. Will wat until tomorrow to make a decision about flying or building. Gazz

Jason. You are welcome to fly tomorrow at Penrith with me as a guest if you like to come out for a fly. I will be arriving at the gate at 8 am sharp, or you could come out with the older folk (Steve)...
