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...

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

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!

Hey Mick Im an old school engineer so I learnt both Imperial and Metric while I was doing my trade. To cut through the bull. With almost everything in the enginering industry these days, the close c...

Whats really cool about flying at that almost non existant altitude........................................................................................................................................

That sucks Dave

Thats great Dave I was a little suspicious when you said it was probably the Align Servos fault... I thought yeh right! Glad the beast is sorted. Hope to be flying tomorrow from 9am waeather permit...

Looks sweet Dave!

Yet at the field most people charge their batteries on the top of their cars engine right beside a petrol fuel source - something to think about!:D

Your not Robinson Crusoe the John... I charge my Lipo's in the garage at home to... I am fastideous with my safety and charging protocol... you can take all the precautions in the world but never kno...

Something else to think about ... when it comes to storage and charging of Lipo's When you purchase a brand new Lipo.... what is its charge state..... They are all delivered with a base charge of 3.8...

Recent literature released on Nanotech,s specifically suggests charging only prior to flight to get any longevity out of them. If you leave Nano,s for any period of time with a full charge you will re...

My advice would be to stay away from those charging issues in the first place and run 2 x 4S batteries. Most of the people I know that fly with big power (Over 6S ) all fly with 2 batteries in series...

I will hold the door open for you Dave, If you like! Always happy to help!!! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Truth be known I just want someone else to do the hard yards... ...

Hey Hawkman Were were you this weekend dood. You missed the best flying conditions in a long time. Ive replaced the Eflite Power 46 bearings fitted a new APC 13 x 8 and it is back to its former glo...

I recon they should hang 'em by the nads, pin back thier eyelids and light the morons up with a dozen 500 watt floodlights, see how they like it.

What is the Raptors length & wing span and is there enough room in the fuse for 2 separate batteries plus electronics?

Het Kev Go to u tube and type in dogfights There are heaps or them. A really good one with a P51 and a ME109 from the history channel

Nice job as always George, hope it flies as nice as it looks.

Terriffic news John I'm building a Hanger 9 P51 D 150, it is ARF but will go close to 8kgs when its done, so you can get your pencil ready to tick a few boxes for me.

There are certainly some beautiful aircraft there John.... but I will have to wait until I retire before I get the time to SCRATCH BUILD anything. Its a dying art, and that is a shame... but who has t...

Yeh and that the Orange HK receivers suck when compared to Spectrum

I didnt say they dont work mate just that you get what you pay for.

Told you so.... Retail store my arse... Why burn the fuel and waste half a day going down there when it costs less to order online and it comes to you. Nice example Steve. I almost ordered one of t...

Now here's a great idea !!! Maybe they could get a warhouse/shop in TUCKS RD TOONGABBIE. I recon that would be awsome. Certainly is central enough. We would probably even let them be affiliated with ...

Yes thats right Paul But this is a RETAIL store, so it will be very interesting to see how the shelf pricing compares to the net. Gazz

I dont understand why HK would want to open a store up down there. I used to live 2 blocks from Vaggs Hobbies and the Shire is not exactly booming with RC clubs. Personally I think they stuffed up bi...

Not biased towards 3D .... come on Jas .... you.... no way... would never have picked that mate .....:-)

I'd recon its to put your receiver and battery in to protect them from the water

Hey Kev Might be time to start thinking about a PC 9 upgrade (is that possible?) Its big brother has arrived It looks like my good friends at Sebart have been burning the midnight oil to do just th...

My PC9's flight weight is 3.8 kgs. Seems pretty resonable to me. Its not a 3D plane Jas its arobatic like the PC9, its just that Sebart builds such great aircraft that it is capable of semi 3D fligh...

Thats fantastic flying. Kev and I will have to put in some serious air time together and get our PC-9s happening. Me thinks there will be more than hours to get anywhere near that level of flying th...

Yep..... its quite now!!!!

No Claudio Dave didn't find out as we were driving out the gate, he found out just as I was pulling into my street, at which point he ran me and asked if I could return to the field and give him a ha...

Thanks Kieran I worked it out. For anyone putting in a big order for Lipo's. The total weight MUST be under 4 kgs. I split the order in 2 and it went through no worries wih EMS.

Does anyone have a rough idea on what your basic small digital servo draws. I have 9 of the little suckers in my Su 47 and am trying to work out what size BEC I need to supply enough power to stop br...

Hi Rob If it is a programming card you are after you will find them in the ESC listing at the top of the menu.

Thanks guys I guess 8 amp BEC it is !!!!

Hey Kieran Just letting you know that the Servos I have on back order are finally back in stock. Just a friendly reminder. Im sure you already have them on the way. Thanks

After closer inspection, the weight increse is pretty substancial. I think I will watch the internet for a while before I upgrade. Gazz

Hi all Was hoping someone could give me a quick rundown on hown the Hobby king order thing works. Not sure if I am missing something but cant work out how the whole click on this to order thing work...

Thanks heaps Paul Sounds simple when you know how.... I will give it a try Cheers Gazz

I only look at the one for that particular order. I have refered back to previous orders a few times but Im sure if you get ride of the dated stuff it would be sweet. Gazz

Hey Kev J If you want to get a 3D bird and dont want to spend to much this new beastie looks the goods. If I didnt already have a heap of 3D aircraft I would order one of these. http://www.hobbyking...
