Always great to here when a maiden goes without a hitch and youve got a smile from ear to ear. Well done.

WELCOME TO WATER WORLD, Yes folks, I have shoved one up the peverbial weather gods arses by purchasing a magic HK seaplane. Took the Icon A5 up this arvo after work at Putney on the Parramatta riv...

Hi Simon Sorry to here that mate.... its a big dissapointment when a miden goes south. I'm curious does it have counter rotating props? I'm sure you checked the aileron centering before take off. ...

In a high speed EDF, I wouldn't use anything less than a Spectrum AR500, would be a real shame to stand watching your pride and joy heading for the horizon, oblivious to your requests as you pull your...

Maiden Flight: Seb Art Sukhoi 140 Weather at Penrith: 25'C Blue sky 5 knot Westerly. Carried out a range test and all was OK. Plugged in the 10S 5000 battery with a loud crack (which is good) Throttle...

Its difficult to say what the cause was.... I was just going through the motions to try and dispose of the things that didn't cause it. It's very strange for a dual engine aircraft to roll over so vio...

Very, very good chance you will see it at McCoy next weekend Claudio, you could land this thing on a postage stamp. The only other thing I can say (and Darren and Kev will agree) is, if you ever do a...

Fit 2 x 4S Nanotechs - OK Flight suface control checks - OK Retract test - OK Flaps checked - OK Weather (at Penrith) No wind, no clouds, 20 degrees - Perfect Took off with flaps set at half, p...

No Dave. I think it is quite flyable at Parramatta. Southeastern approach should be fairly straight forward coming in over the causway. I had another 2 flights today at Penrith and am starting to ge...

Took the mighty T Rex 600 Airwolf down to the field this afternoon for its maiden. Had to move a lot of my electrionics forward during the build as I knew it would be tail heavy after preliminary C o...

I would put a GPS in the sucker and get a proper top speed reading over 100 meters or more... that would save a shit load of muckin around... don't you think!

Flying the big Seb at McCoy will depend on how well the field dries this week. As you said.......Fingers crossed!

Great work Frank. I have a few suggestions for the first few flights. Think carefully about your control throws after the maiden and whether or not increases or reductions are necessary to make...

Ben Dave pointed out a number of very important issues. The most important being, crashing a sim maters not. Crashing the real thing.......Big difference....... HUGE!!!!! It is great to learn the ...

These things happen for a reason Rob.................... Keep it! Gazz

Just thought I would jump in and help Rob out here !!! If anyone has been thinking about getting their first EDF.... grab a bargain and pounce on the Alpha Jet. I know because it used to belong to me...

Hope you all have a great christi and an even better new year. Cheers Gazz

I think I might be waiting for one too!!!

Hey Drew did you or your son type that masterpiece. Ha ha ha ha, You gotta love spellcheck.

4S? Youv'e gotta be kidding... don't you mean 6S.... come on Steve... you wanna fly EDF's your gunna need to grow a big pair... 4S wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding.:D

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...

Go Pete! As I said you can run a smaller prop with the slightly larger motor and it will draw less current. Once you get comfortable flying it you can just prop it up a bit for that extra Va va Voom...

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...

OK Guys Check this sucker out. If I wasn't in the middle of 2 other major projects I'd be ordering this beastie today. This thing would give Darrens A380 a serious run for its money. Love it!!! W...

Nice choise Pete! Go the Power 32 Option or the equivalent Turnigy G motor, we can tone down the throttle until you get a little more between the legs and then we can crank it up so the little sucker...

What a bunch of braindead fu#&@n maggots!!! Maybe next time these retards deciede to have a flash sale .... they actually check stock levels prior to making offers that cannot be fulfilled

Cant comment on the L39 Frank, but if you are after a sweet flying PNP jet, that is a lot cheaper, I can recommend the Alpha, I had one and it was a pretty nice stable flyer. For 80 bucks you wont g...

Looks the goods Pete If you want a Power 32 but would like to save a few bucks. These things are made by HK to specifically copy E Flite motors and have near identical specs http://www.hobbyking....

Dont know about those Ozhobby things, they might be OK but anything unlabeled like that off Ebay cant be good,the Kv rate is to high which usually means torque is to low. Your best option by far is t...

SMS me your Bank details Wayne and I will transfer the money for my Zin to your account.

As Kev said Make sure that you are BALANCE charging and that you have the balance lead plugged in. It might come good if you charge it a few times. Gazz

Hey Steve Your new avatar is giving me a friggin headache...... Oh... no... hang on a second... its not the Avatar.... its the beer.........blah hah hah hah hah hah !!!

Hey Steve, they are really cheap, I think I will order 2..... NOT!

You go Paul, you D man! It that 2 or 4 engines?

Wouldnt expect me to be an Eflite fan.... go figure, looks like they've done it again. Eflite Rocks.

Now there is a Delta worth adding to the collection. Its a shame they didnt give it 360 degree vectoring though?

My advise Andee, if you want to learn to fly your heli safely and with minimal damage is to drop by our club and have a chat with some of our experienced heli pilots. There is not better way to start ...

Not knowing the weight of the aircraft I recon it would be balistic with a an Eflite 46 with 5S (thats what is in my PC9) or a Turnigy equivalent. But that would suit an aircraft of that size. Do yo...

This particular Hacker is the motor I was running in my Seb Art Katana 50. I was spinning a 16 x 8 in that through the same 80 amp Dualsky ESC powered by a Flightpower 6S 5000mah 30C battery and the ...

That is massive Claudio, If you need a little assistance with the glass work I am happy to point you in the right direction.

That looks sweet as Kev, looking forward to seeing that tear up the sky.

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...

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 ...

No mate, the vindictive pricks (the weather gods), will probably make if blow a friggin gale for the next 6 months so my liquid runway is as choppy as the north sea...... arseholes!!!!

Here is a sneak peek at my Kirby Chambliss Red Bull Edge 540, just waiting on servos to finish the majestic beast off. This thing runs a Dualsky MG5050 an will twist itself out of your hands running o...
