Mine weighs 5.36 kg ready to fly. Thats with 2 x 5S 5000 35C-65C Nanotech batteries. What batteries are you runing in your Frank?

I had another 3 flights with mine at Penrith on the weekend mate. I moved the C of G back 5mm from standard for the first flight and then another 5 for the last 2 flights and it almost hovers hands o...

Hey Frank, happy that the maiden went well, they are a pretty terrific aircraft Gazz

You D man Kieran...

Hi Aaron Sorry that your introduction to this great hobby has been though a supplier that is anything but.... I have to watch my P's and Q's with my responses to this particular group, I know of cou...

I had an almost identical outcome after trying to resolve the issues I had with the useless piece of foam I stupidly purchased from these jokers. A lesson well learn. The sad thing is a little bad p...

Steve The place that I was talikng about that sells all the FMS range is Charged RC in China http://www.chargedrc.com.au/vmchk/FMS-Aircraft/View-all-products.html

Nice work Jason... wouldn't have expected anything less from you. How much would you say it cost to build the box, did you buy the foam specifically for it, and if you did, what size do the sheets co...

Nice work Jason... wouldn't of expected anything less.

Well done Jason, glad it was you and not me I would have lost the plot and sent the thing into orbit. Patience with things like that is not one of my forte's. I would have thrown it in the bin and bou...

Good move to change his name to Chuck, Not only does Charles sound a little gay, but Chuck is what he will probably be doing sitting in one of your airframes! Blah ha ha ha ha ha!!!

Good job Jason Glad you got it sorted, Im glad I didnt have to pay you for the labour to fix it! I had a close call with my Dueces Wild at Penrith yesterday. The Right hand motor mounting plate ...

Disconcerting is an understatment Jason, At the time I thought "Oh No, Goodbuy DW." No Dave... I have not repaired it yet. I am going to modify the firewall mounts on both motors and that is going t...

Thanks mate... I will be looking into a transport box or two myself.

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

Don't worry to much about that C of G shit Frank, its a 3D model isnt it? Tail heavy is good...

Very happy it all went well Frank... told you tail heavy was good (only for 3D though)

Frank/Jason Had to let you YAK 55 junkies know about this lovely beastie, 2800mm wingspan..... Yeeeeeeehhaaaaaaaa ! http://www.rctrader.com/category/310/GasPetrol/listings/8506/Aeroworks-Yak55-1...

Claudio..... me thinks you may have a dark side??????

I get my big wooden props from HK, they do up to 21" in the light wooden electrics and they are beautifully balanced. Hobbies in the hills carries just about everything APC but are obviously a little...

Jason is right Frank, they will fly nice, but spooling up on throttle will take longer than a lighter prop (which also burns more power). Heavier props are better suited to scale and sports fliers, w...

The light beech props that Jason recommended are actually for IC engines, I have used them before and they are very good props but but are a little on the heavy side, these are more suitable for elect...

The APC's would be a better choice, I personally would not use a heavy prop for electric flight particularly on a 3D bird. As I said I a previous post the light wood electrics are much more suited to ...

That certainly is a big motor, did you buy the Spruce Goose mate? I suppose you get what you pay for Frank... HK stuff is more than reasonably priced and is certainly a good financial option, but I g...

Looks nice Steve You really cant argue with that for value for money.

In this hobby........... thats a good ethic to start with.

Thanks Dave... what a great video, I had better get back to work now!!!

This isn't a doco its just some magic footage my brother sent me of a GPS approach flying a KC 30 into Queenstown NZ. It has been sped up to fit the music, he's a clever dood I think.... http://ww...

There sure is Steve, but good luck with the shootin down shit champ. To shoot someone down you actually have to be able to keep up with them, don't fancy your chances, and now you have given me the h...

Hey Kev I'm back..... Droped into Hobbies in the Hills this afternoon to make a payment on my Big Mustang and surprise, surprise they had a Seagull 46 PC9 on the shelf, and as you would expect... I b...

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...

Howdy guys As you all know we are moving and I still have a few aircraft that need new homes. I still have an almost new (only had 6 flights) Dualsky XM5050CA-8 575kv 5S motor with a Dualsky 80amp s...

Just weighed the PC9 for you Steve. Take off weight is 2790 grams with a Turnigy 5S 4000 30-40C battery. Am running this Turnigy 85 amp ESC with built in 5 amp BEC that also comes with an On/Off...
