You didn't answer my question buddy, and I know you aren't doing it to get rick quickley, so what's the bottom line to purchase one of these "Jasomites" ... and yes I am happy to accept royalties for ...

Just a quick point for anyone not used to using EXPO or setting it up for the first time. Make sure thet you dial in posative 20% and not negative 20% or you will be making the aircraft more sensati...

Good purchase Pete, being a bipe fan I love the Pitts, and from what I been told they are a pretty good PNP airframe. I'll keep an eye out for that one at the field. Gazz

You wanna git that there big old FMS Trojan built boy, let me tell you, ye won't be needin them littluns no more.

Yes I agree.. that paint job looks excellent!

OK Jason you have my attention... I'm interested ... what Link????

Now that Sundowner F1 is one fine lookin aircraft... Eflite 160 10s 17 x 12 prop Yeeeehaaaaaa... that sucker has just been added to the Gotta get me one of those book.... good luck gettin it back on t...

Sorry to confuse you there Frank. The aircraft I'm refering to is that ones big brother, its called the Sundowner F1 and has an 80" wingspan... Sick...

Jas ... that looks SWEEEEEEEEET!

Now I'm worried, I've got an Ice Light 75 in my Hotliner, what speedie are you using in your Hotliner, Kieran?

Way to go Exocoetidae I think that is a great purchase, Eflite airframes are brilliant and I don't know anyone else who has one ... so that has to be a bonus! Gazz

Nice work mate.... what is with you and superseeded models?

Don't stress yourself out champ, I have flown quite a few Bibes and generally speaking they are pretty well behaved on the ground dependant of course on the wheel/axle to C of G position. They have a ...

Thanks for the physics lesson Leonardo, I already knew that. My electrical flying philosophy is a little different to yours, and I suppose thats a good think because we both look at power consumption ...

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...

If the battery is approved for higher C rate charging then your 6 amps is fine. Yes it will make a big difference, charging at 2C will cut charge time in half or thereabouts... Most standard Lipos pr...

Naa... not buying it, I like Steve's formula better.

If that is my old Katana then I would suggest that the motor is to small. I was running 6S 5000 mAh 20C with a Hacker A50-14S at 425 Kv it would come down after 7 to 8 minutes with a warm to hot motor...

Frank The higher mAh rating doesn't give you more power it just gives you more fuel in the tank, so to speak. (Increasing your Mah is just like putting in a bigger fuel tank) then you can stay in th...

I agree with your comparisons Jason, but he is currently drawing way to much current with the 13 x 6, so some field tests with a variety of props may be necessary to get the performance Frank is after...

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...

To clean the camera lens, silly!

What is really interesting is that the best ESC's that money can buy... Kontronic... build ESC's for up to 12S and come with built in BEC's, I know some of the best pilots that use Kontronic and they...

Yes me to mate, but there must be a reason for it... what sort of technology are Kontronic using that gives them the edge in reliability... you certainly pay for it, I've been looking at an 80amp ESC ...

That ebay seller has a lot of very nice aircraft Jason. If I was in the market for another plane i would be ordering one from him right now. Nice aircraft at great prices.

Forsooth! Cease & desist from purchasing any wares from this establishment, they care not about anything except money in the front door.

Hey George..... Bite me!!!!

Hobbies in the Hills has a pretty good range of 3 blade Master airscrew Props, Ive bought my last 3 props from them for around $12

I have just started flying my Trojan on 5S, but the only reason I decieded to do that was because I broke the prop. It is a 13 x 9 3 blade standard. I replaced it with a Masterairscrew 13 x 8 3 blade...

I got my 13 x 8 3 blader from Hobbies in the Hills. Its a master airscrew!

If you read the conversion data for 2 to 3 then 3 to 4 blade props you will see why. You can do the Maths on the 4 to 5S upgrade. Generally if you up the S rating on a specific airframe with the sam...

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...

Looks very nice Frank, I am looking forward to seeing that beastie in the air. I was in two minds when I ordered my FMS T28, I was very close to getting the Corsair.

If the Corsair is close in weight to the Trojan, I dont think you will get anywhere near 7 minutes. All the FMS birds run the same 500kv 4S motor, and it is a ripper, they do however all have differe...

Im now flying my FMS Trogan on 5S 4000 25C and I'm spinning a 13 x 8 x 3 blade Master airscrew and it draws 42 amps static so I recon our aircraft have the same motor for sure. So if you wanted to get...

John H, Jason, Barnesy, Mick and myself flew today. There were a few puddles of standing water on the main strip, one just to the left of the pilot box and a few to the western end. The rest of the ...

Thats great news Steve, I was alittle concerned that the last few days of heavy dumps may have backed up the field again, but its looking good!

Hey John As I said before, you are welcome to borrow my DX6i until your radio returns from its holiday. Even if you only programme in one of your aircraft, at least you can fly.... You will have to r...

Yes Dave , you are dead right. Steve, Jason, Chris and I were discussing that yesterday afternoon. We will probably move the heli hovering area back into the top corner another 10 to 15 meters so tha...

Hey Steve What the story on the field after todays deluge. Any chance of a fly tomorrow if the pissed off. Gazz

Once again Steve...................... great work on the sign mate, appreciate the effort.......................don't think anyone else noticed your lovely handy work in the zoom shot of Pic 1 (Post #...

Wear your galoshes mate I think you will need them after the deluge we have been coping.

Buy a PC 21 Steve. Then we can do the claton Roulettes thing. The Red and White looks smart, not a big fan of the yellow and black, dont buy the Blue and White one though, because if you do we will pr...

Hey Steve If you deciede to head to Penrith either day this weekend please let me know, I'd like to tag along. Gazz PS: My Sabre arrived this arvo. It only has a 700mm wingspan so we are pretty eve...

I am planning on mowing tomorrow afternoon on the way home from work, any assistance appreciated. I will be there a little after 3pm.

Glad you finally got your radio back John, will see you down at the field soon.................. as soon as the weather breaks.(Fingers and toes crossed)

I am hoping to give the rest of the field a mow tomorrow afternoon from 3pm. My mower doesn't go tht low Steve so I might leave the main strip to you and I will do everything else. I will take my mo...

Has anyone droped by the field and had a look at its condition. Ive beeen flat out all week and haven't had a chance, It will probably need mowing, I know it grows slowly this time of year but we hav...
