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...

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'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...

Thanks Kiz but thats way more grunt than I need, besides that, its a bit to big. I'm running Zippy Compact 4000 30C. Because I'm running the Hacker A 50 -14S now instead of the Eflite 46 my current ...

Picked up my new Seagull PC-9 this afternoon... I am really looking forward to getting the Gen3 model in the air. I am doing a big power upgrade on this one, upping the power to 6S so I will be doing...

Yeh it does look pretty cool... sort of looks like a shaker off the top of the old Falcon GTHO's.

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...

Yes mate, everything is exactly the same... no reason to fiddle with perfection!

Hey Rob The short answer is .... nothing..... or to be correct "not a lot". The last one lasted 4 years ..... and I didn't exactly take it easy on the airframe. I suspect it was a micro failure in...

Hey Jason I remember some time back you found a supplier of telescopic carbon spars in Aus. Do you still have their contact details. Wayne CF dosen't not normally suffer from fatigue at all, its...

Maidened the new beastie this afternoon. Surprise surprise... it was on rails although it felt a little tail heavy... great for 3D but a little to taily for my liking. I replaced my prop, down f...

Sounds like you have a crook set of servos, though it is difficult to say without looking at the set up. If you plug a different servo into the same reciever port and it works fine, I would recon the ...

Hey Kieran I am about to download DCS World, do I need to download the extra files on the home page and what do they mean by put them in 1 folder?

Another thing you can do stop over control which causes elevon failure on the Skyfuns is to set your elevons up with dual rates. I take off and land with my servos set at 100% but once airborn and ap...

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 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...

Almost done. Paint job finally finished

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 Can you tell me what timing you are running on your Scorpion 2221-8 motor? Thanks

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...

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...

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...

Hi Wobbly I used 15 minute Hobby King Med cure epoxy to build my Skyfun and it is as strong as a battleship. The CA glues are OK but dont have any real tortional strength. So even if it did glue to...

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...

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...

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...

Finally finished the beastie.... Sweeeeeeett!

You are probably on the money with the bearing change Jason. After my PC9 dissaster I striped and checked the motor and bearings and they seemed and felt OK. But during the first flight it developed...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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 .....

Lucky you were wearing my kevlar plated gum boots then, aren't you Arron?

I'm a country boy and grew up in the bush. Ive killed more snakes than most people have had hot dinners, they are very dangerous and deserve more than a considerable amount of respect. All the cauti...

Just thought I should jump in here and clarify one thing! CAFI's (Club approved flight instructors) are approved by the clubs certified MAAA Instructors to assist new pilots to get air time. Th...

Howdy fellow Heli pilots Was wondering if any of you have come across a supplier of authentic Airwolf bodies for the T Rex 600. I found this one on the net but cant find a supplier. Any info apprec...

Thanks Rob But my Heli is a 600 mate although the 500 bodies look sweet they just dont fit and that is where the delema is! Heaps of companies have after market fuses for 500s but fuses for 600 are ...

Thanks for your help guys Am getting closer to purchasing an Airwolf fus for the mighty 600 Gazz

Hey Rob Thas sounds pretty easy you can you let me know exactly how to do it. Gazz

Hey Andrew Just checked out the website. They look like the real deal! But who knows. If you are thinking about placing an order and dont mind getting a few extras on behalf of your friends at the ...

Hey Andrew Kieran is usually on the pulse with these things. I think I will give them a miss. Thanks anyway.

Well said Kev, Could not have put it much better myself. Without going on any further Ben. If you are serious about the hobby you really can't go past the DX6i for learning to fly its a good radio ...

Steve After todays maiden and consequent testing, I when home and did the following. Changed the ESC timing to high and raised the frequency to 16 (maximum) and removed the ESC to motor extension wi...

Nice mod Steve Certainly looks like a BIG improvment on the original. Well done mate. Maybe you should give HK a ring with your wing specs. Gazz

Hey Steve Here is something that I thought was gone for good... they just keep coming back. http://rcflyer.com.au/shop/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=31&products_id=183 Kinda makes you all warm...

You could try hitting it with a heat gun and scraping it off, watch the heat though! or you can try your covering iron up on full power and heat it that way. Gazz

They are pretty spectacular, I think they would also be a great aircraft performance tuning tool.

Hey Steve When you mounted the fan on the back of the Stryker did you angle it down and to the right or up and to the left?
