I'd like to have a really good look at that airframe next time we cross paths, mate... but I'm flying out west tomorrow.

Hi Wayne I have the Hacker A60-22 in my Egde 540 that came out of my Seb Art Sukhoi 140. So I used the mount that I bouught with the motor. http://www.espritmodel.com/aluminum-mount-a60.aspx Esprit...

Ben There are 2 major ways to charge your batteries... If you select Fast charge or Charge then the only plug you need to plug in is your Deans /ET60, etc. Select the Lipo cell number and the amp ...

You don't want tubing mate, you need solid billet.

I think you will find that just about every ESC, Motor and battery builder in the RC world use a base rate of 3.7 volts per cell to do their cals when you are talkin average power available under norm...

Sounds like a magic deal Jonathan.. I think both systems have pro's and con's. I have even thought about changing over to Futaba once or twice. But I have stayed with spectrum ( I use a JR11X Zero) b...

Yeh!!!... good try Dave... I have tried to stay impartial during this debate but as you seem intent on indirectly attacking MY radio and talking up your Fu thingy.... you have left me no option but to...

The Futaba radio's are arguably the the best on the market, their receivers however are a lot more expensive than the Spectrums and if you get hooked on the hobby then you will be spending a lot more ...

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

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...

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 ...

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...

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 ;)

Hi Bob A satellite reciever will give you more reliable communication over larger ranges if you are using the Radian for what it was designed for. Which is high altitude thermal soaring. But for gen...

Hi Wayne I believe the ME 109 by Parkzone is very similar to the P 51, not quite as much power and has a tendancy to tip stall if flown to slowly, so keep the speed up and they fly like champions. T...

That looks like a nice plane Paul, and very reasonably priced too!

Dave. I will be running a Stumax 90mm EDF (same as Paul) Will be burning the oil at 8S around 10000mAh Nanos at 45-90C, suggested flight time should be between 6 and 8 minutes depending on throttle ...

Hi Paul I know you got your L39 from Extreme RC but they make 2 different 90mm L39's that are almost identical in size, and they both come in the HPAT colour scheme I want. Jet Teng which sells deli...

Thanks for the info and the video guys. I will stick with the Jet Teng. Paying for quality is something I don't mind.

No mate sorry, most of the excess from the sale of the clubby is gone......on goodies and clearing debts. Waiting on my tax refund now to finish off the Flash T Carbon as well as the final bits for m...

Hi Kev/Paul I bought the Hobbywing HV- 120 Platinum Pro ESC for mine and the fully sick programming card(if anyone buys a HW ESC you are welcome to borrow my Programming card, dont shell out for one ...

Hello fellow fully sick EDF owners and any of you other heathen that may have tuned in. My Jet Teng 90mm HPAT L-39 arrived today about 2 weeks before I expected it. Very impressed. So like a kid at c...

You could write a book on the problems with it, but I don't like to be negative when someone comes up with a good idea!

Sorry mate, I was not suggesting you were being negative. You could always reverse the concept and build a bus with an up ramp at the back and a down ramp at the front, that way we could just drive o...

Had to share this one with you all. Those Chinese are clever thinkers! http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=t1gTzc7-IbQ&feature=player_embedded

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?

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...

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...

Hobbies in the Hills, Frank

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

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

See me down at the field on the weekend mate and I will go through it all with you. The second lead fron your ailerons goes into Aux 1 on your reciever. The general rule of thumb is the right aileron ...

Just use a spray bottle with tap water in it and 4 or 5 drops of dishwashing liquid. Set the nozzle to mist and only just wet the surface before applying the sticker, it will help you position it prop...

Hey Wayne I know you loved your MXS-R but it was probably just a little to heavy and that is a big problem when you are trying to take small steps to flying bigger aircraft. I also know that you were...

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 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...

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

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...

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.

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.

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?

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....

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.

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...

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

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...

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...

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...
