Do think we should invite the fire department? That sounds pretty balistic!!! Interesting!! I want to see that!

Hi Rob No mate I havent had time to even try and find the web site. Below is the culprit responsible for the destruction of my PC9. Bloody plastic servos. You can clearly see the failure of the ...

Hey Kev Gotta agree with Steve here. The Alloy Turnigy MG servos might be a little over kill. But at 15 kgs they will never let you down. I have 4 of them in my new Katana and so far they ...

Today is a sad sad day. Especially if you have a PC9 with Hitec HS 311 servos. This WAS the only aircraft in my squadron with plastic gears. I will never buy them again. PS: KEV if you have plas...

Right back at ya with the lol mate No biggy with the twisting and turning stuff, just remember to bring your gyro setup instructions and we will get the little beastie in the air. If you havent got ...

You have enough on your plate my friend... You have taken a huge step into the abiss and purchased a Helicopter, life will never be the same again....... let the balancing act begin. Good luck my f...

No Paul Have not ordered the jet yet. I have the Clubsport on the market at the moment, so a soon as it sells I will be ordering the airframe. Delievery is 6 to 8 weeks from the US once payment is ...

Just a few pics I took down at the field last Sunday. Next time I will switch to high res.

What we have here is a complete lack of respect for the laws of physics. Ooooouuuuucccchhhh !

Fun Jet finished ... SWEET!

I have done exactly what any self respecting pilot would do. Ive ordered a new one.... Seriously though after getting the old girl home and carrying out a proper survey of the damage the only things...

Kev Look what I got... lets go n play. Not much point in talking pictues of the battery box. Get my phone number off Kieran, give me a call and I will bring it over to your place one evening this w...

Lookout !!!! Here it comes

My Seb Srt Sukhoi 29S 50E had its maiden on sunday..... I am overwhelmed by how it behaved in the sky .... (Thanks Darren and Kiren for your help) You can expect to see a lot more of this magnificent ...

Nice to hear Frank, and a nicely written report, glad it went well. Sounds like a keeper..... Gazz

Anything with SPECTRUM written on it will be just fine.:D

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...

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...

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

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

Nice one Wayne. I'm glad it went well.

Well done Wayne. I'm looking forward to see it in the air.

The wings should be quite firm on the spar... you don't want to any play in them at all... so if you are going to give them a sand then proceed with caution... ie: sand a little and check fit a lot. ...

I dont know the aircraft... but just a calming comment, don't get to stressed about your speedie location, unless it is working at peak load most of the time(and I'm sure it's not) don't worry too muc...

What servo's are you using Wayne?

West systems is good shit but a good quality 30 minute epoxy is more than sufficient. If your clearances are a little on the large side you can use a dash of talcum power (even though micro ballons ar...

Put me down for one thanks Dennis Once again, thanks for the effort and the thoughtful gestuer.

L.M.A.O.

Two of the guys on the Instructors course had the old style ones and were doing some combat with them after we finished our exams yesterday. I told them that HK had just released some new ones and a f...

If you want really good combat wings the engine and prop and prop cavity have to cut into the centre of the wing. Only way to fly combat.

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...

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...

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?

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

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...

Hi Dennis. What's your ETA Sunday? I have a bit on but would like to pick mine up personally and say thanks.

Me too..... Its always nice to have a big chunky power supply in your pocket. And maybe then I could switch off the battery charger that has been running non stop in my garage for 2 years.
