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...

Hi Simon Sorry to here that mate.... its a big dissapointment when a miden goes south. I'm curious does it have counter rotating props? I'm sure you checked the aileron centering before take off. ...

Yes I did Jason. Flight weight is 3.2 kg with a Turnigy 4000 5S 30-40C pack. I only weighed it this afternoon after your post and was quite surprised that it weighed that much, I was expecting more ...

Droped by the field this afternoon to maiden my Red Bull Extra 540. Ended up having a bit of a gallery, the 2 Steves, John P and Claudio were also having an afternoon fly. Conditions were almost per...

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...

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...

For the money you've spent on it, Im thinking about doing the same thing. especially after I saw it eat up those other two Trojans in performance yesterday afternoon. You not only out manouvered them ...

Im intersested to hear both yours and Owens thoughts on both aircraft when you get the T33 sorted. I was very impressed with the little T33 at Blacktown and would like to hear you opinions on both ai...

My compliments Ingo I looked very stable in the sky and I was very impressed with the magic turbo prop like sound the twin rig made. Well done mate. Gazz

Very sorry to see the beast out of action again mate. My condolences on a less than happy end to what was supposed to be an adrenaline filled flight. On another note... Talking about Sirens what p...

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...

No problems Simon Your kids are welcome as long as you supervise them and keep them clear from the flight line. We fly mainly each weekend from about 8.30 till 2 ish, hope to see you down at the fie...

Any time after 9 am should be OK. We have had a lot of rain in the last 2 weeks and because our field is a flood basin it will probably still be a little damp under foot. Saturday or Sunday between ...

Actually Jason ... there is 1 Rare Bear, 1 Rare Trojan and what looks like a Rare P47. This man is packing some heat...

Get your paper work in and stop fluffing around Angus. Then you can give us all your money... just before the hobby shops take over as the primary funds depleting organisation... and believe me they w...

Hello Gianni I am a qualified Instructor and would suggest that before you spend any money at all, you drop by the club during the weekend and have a chat with one of our qualified Instructors, they ...

Nice appraisal Dave... Do you work for Parkzone? I all sincerity Yudash, the Trojan would be my pick because once your skill level improves you can increase the rates and it becomes a great all round...

Actually Steve, that Power Setup is a copy of the Eflite "How to determine your power requirements specs" and it is a very good base line to use for the setup of any new aircraft. If you follow the gu...

Hi Kent As Steve said, you are more than welcome, you will find our club full of very easy going people that are more than happy to help out with any assistance you need. What mode do you fly? We h...

Hi Paul You are welcome to come down to the field any weekend we are flying (if the bloody rain ever stops). and introduce yorself. We require all perspective club members to visit regularly to get t...

Bloody hell George, I thought you were new to RC mate, did you rob a hobby shop, thats a pretty impressive list of aircraft. I thought you had a big set when you took up your new FMS Trojan on Sunday ...

Hi Steve Look forward to seeing down at the field soon. We are a very friendly bunch and would be happy to help you step from 4 wheels to 2 wings. You can catch us any weekend the weather is fine b...

Hi Andrew Ive only been a member of the club since January and you wont find a better bunch of guys I have a Trex 600ESP that I am leaning to fly so I look forward to meeting you. I am away this weeke...

Hello everyone Thought I should get my first post happening and stop just sitting on the sideline. Many thanks to everyone I have met since my first visit to the club in early January. To those who h...

Steve Where do you set your C of G on the Stryker with the 90mm EDF. I've had a bit of an epiphany and decieded not to buy any more new aircraft until I get all the beasties in the wardrode in the s...

Hey Steve. What size battery are you running in yours?

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...

Look forward to your In flight test specs my Ballistic friend. "Go Vertical or Go home"

You do realise that the maximum current for the Warhead is 80 amps dont you Steve? I did a 6S full throttle burst during testing and it was over 100 amps. I dont fancy your motor's chances of any lon...

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

Hey Steve. What is the flight weight of your 90mm EDF Striker? I just weighed the Skyfun and it weighs 1.4 kg with battery.... just curious. The standard Skyfun weighs in at 550 grams or so they sa...

Aaaaaaaaaamen to that!!! Changesuns and Stumaxs rock!!!! Everything else is just try hard!

It may just be this particular motor(kv) /speedie problem. I have got 2 others in use with other aircraft and had no issues.

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...

Oh Steve, steve, steve, steve, steve. How unusual for you to modify an aircraft to the hilt !!!! Did you actually try in in standard configuration or are you just OUT OF CONTROL !!!!!

Go Steve, you D man!!!!!

Thanks Steve Here is the Eflite link. The Retracts page will access the different sizes but click on the manual in blue middle right screen and you will get a drawing with specs so you can work out...

You guys are no help. I guess I will work it out for myself, but I think that axial thrust shoud be on the money!

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?

You D man Steve, I will look forward to using your clever piece of equipment as soon as I finish my new twin rig fun jet. Can you tell me what the measurement is rail to rail, the twin could foul on ...

The nearest thing available on the market according to Peter is a 6x6 Graupner speed prop, I figure if I am sharing the aircrafts flight load between 2 drives it wont half the load but it would certai...

You are dead right there mate. If the Skyfun does not generate enough speed off the ramp it could end in tears. I run a 5x5 on my skyfun, the little sucker gose like stink but it is very slow off th...

Hey Steve Can you chase up another couple of conduits that are twice as long so I can launch my Skyfun, just kidding mate. It is a wizzard bit of kit, well done. If Kieran learns to stand on the en...

Yep. Thats the motor I just ordered and put in mine. I thought they had sent me the wrong motor when I opened the box, because it was so much smaller than the original. The link to the motor under th...

Abra ka frigin dabra http://www.modelflight.com.au/products/480_Brushless_Outrunner_Motor_960kV_T_28-3546-64.html There you go mate

Model flight has just released a new motor for the Trojan that is a lot lighter than the original, that has the same power specs but is a lot smaller. Didnt weight it but it is considerably smaller th...

Looks pretty smart Steve... but you are still carrying that weight, I am interested in your thoughts on the difference in the flight characteristics. Gazz

Hey Steve Ive just ordered another Funjet. I want to make it low Kv big prop to keep the noise down, but still would like mega speed. Will still run 4S unless you recommend otherwise? Which motor a...

Good point mate. I'm particularly interested in getting a high speed low KV big power Skyfun setup for other venues.

That looks pretty smart Steve, whats the maximum amp draw (recommended of course) on the motor, I'm curious, why didn't you go for another Scorpion? My brother has had his Skyfun for 2 weeks now with...
