I too am sorry you lost your Heli mate. Do you know why it got so far away, did you loose control? Were you using one of those HK receivers? I suppose the good side of a situation like this is that...

Hey Kev Nice camera work mate. I think the trick is not to try and zoom in to much, I recon a tripod would be a little to restrictive with the panning you need to do to keep the aircraft in shot, t...

Yes mate Big smiley face for you.... I assumed the kids must have been present. If that had been me there would have been a long constant BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP ! to hide the expletives. ...

See Andrew Thats the short and tall of it. You replaced Align equipment with HK. Seriously though. The best thing to come out of a situation like that is that you were spooling up for a flight and...

Given me goose bumps... I just want one of his recievers... they obviously have over the bloody horizon technology..... What a wizzard bit o kit... I want one (would need to be a lot bigger though....

Using dry air is critical to a ggod finish when spraying your own mixed paints, however a good presure regulator with a in built moisture trap is more than enough for model aircraft spraying. Thursda...

I've been spray painting Motor bikes, cars and boats for over 25 years Steve. If you would like me to drop by one afternoon, I can give you a personal tutorial which will be ten times more helpful th...

What model do you want to put the spoilerons on Steve. Aircraft that land like Hotliners need them and really floaty aircraft like the Eflite Apprentice are easier to land with them deployed because...

I'd like to have a really good look at that airframe next time we cross paths, mate... but I'm flying out west tomorrow.

Wayne Iv'e got a brand new unopened 13 x 8 APC in my box of goodies. I will bring it down tomorrow. What do you mean HK don't sell 'em. Iv'e just found a 13 x 8 Light Electric Turnigy prop. I will ...

Ben I have a roll of the HK hinging tape, if you are flying Saturday bring your plane down and I will help you replace it, it only takes 5 minutes. Weather permitting I will be at the field from 8.30...

You don't want tubing mate, you need solid billet.

Hi Wayne I have the Hacker A60-22 in my Egde 540 that came out of my Seb Art Sukhoi 140. So I used the mount that I bouught with the motor. http://www.espritmodel.com/aluminum-mount-a60.aspx Esprit...

I'm a JR man and never had ANY control glitch's with my JR11X using Spectrum receivers ...but I must admit that new FRSky radio really looks the goods!

Ditto what samste just said. I use Spectrum AR600's without a satellite in both my Skyfuns and never had a glitch. On the other hand, over the years we have had some major 36 meg failues at McCoy th...

Thanks Jason I will put a tick in that box then

Has anybody used these ESC's before Are they any good? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idproduct=4691 I am just about to order a few things I need and they are out of s...

Wayne Here is the link to the balance boards you need. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8821 Gazz

As long as your radio has the channels Frank we can do what ever you what... once you have been shown for the first time you will be able to adapt it to 18 channels if you need them...

Samste can explain it to you, but once again a visual thing will save a thousand words.

Bloody Hell Frank These questions and a few more will be answered after these commercials from our sponsors..... or see me down at the field and I show you, that will be much easier than trying to ex...

A simple way to add differential without complex radio tuning is to set the zero position on your aileron servo control horns leaning towards the front of the wing slightly... about 10 degrees or just...

Where are you going to get it from Frank. The Australian distributor doesn't import the 140 anymore, I know because I was talking to him yesterday because I need a new fuse for mine. Might have to set...

Depends on what temp. you monitor. I know from experience and a lot of reading that the absolute maxumum temp you should not exceed with you battery is 50 degrees C. Most good quality speedies and ...

Personally I'd go with the 192 as well, just remember that as Prop diameter increases , so does current draw (Amperage) so the trick is to get the thrust you need without generating to much current. ...

It certainly is great stuff... the only thing you have to be careful of is overheating it by leaving your aircraft in the sun on a hot day. If the hot melt glue temperature approaches 50 degrees it s...

The rudder doesnt help that much once youve left the ground, it only controls yaw on throttle up while the tail is on the ground. If the aircraft is rolling excessively when you lift off, your prop is...

The only way to work around the torque steer is to use a LONG runway with a truck load of rudder and a very slow throttle up, you have to make sure you have a lot of ground speed before attempting to ...

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...

I'd agree with Jason on that one. I would suggest that your approach is either too fast or too slow, and you closing rate on the grond is excessive. You need to work on getting that feather just righ...

It still exists you just cant cut and paste that link. Try this one, it works for me. http://www.rctrader.com/category/359/Transmitters/listings/5679/JR-11X-24ghz-DSM-radio-case-receiver.html Gaz...

If any club members knows Steven Chins contact details please pass this link onto him ASAP. The receivers alone are worth almost $700. http://www.rctrader.com/category/359/Transmitters/listings/56...

My appologies if anyone thought I was having a go at them. That was not my intention. I was just trying to get a point accross. I check my batteries as soon as I land with a good quality cell checke...

You guys are talking about 2 completely different things. Wayne is asking about flight setup,you are talking about flight timing. Flight timing is critical to 2 factors, how long you say up there an...

I am only relaying the information that I have learned during my flying career. I am well aware that voltage drops as load increases over time, and that is amplified as the battery loses power... chr...

I think you will find that just about every ESC, Motor and battery builder in the RC world use a base rate of 3.7 volts per cell to do their cals when you are talkin average power available under norm...

I just drill the suckers in a drill press and they are always pretty spot on, a little bit of work in the balancer and they are good to go.

Was that ...... Long ago, In a Galaxy far far away.

If you charge at 1C you are charging at the rated amperage of the battery eg: 2200 mAh battery charged at 2.2 amps If you charge at 2C then a 2200 mAh battery would be charged at 4.4 amps. Some bat...

Ben There are 2 major ways to charge your batteries... If you select Fast charge or Charge then the only plug you need to plug in is your Deans /ET60, etc. Select the Lipo cell number and the amp ...

Thats the other great thing about Hot glue, Ben. You can fly your plane 5 minutes after you have finished repairing it!

No worries, I will throw it in my flight bag. What size is your shaft/ shaft to prop adapter.

Ive got a 13 x 6.5 you can try mate. Its a spare for my Deuces Wild and surprise surprise, I'm running a Power 32 on 4S in that.

Try droping down to a 14 x 6 and re test

Oh come on Jason! Your just not trying hard enough, its easy to crash 3D planes. All you have to do is try a simple 3D manouver way to close to the ground and fly outside your comfort zone, or try do...

Thats a pretty 3D monster you got there Wayne. The 3S package with surfice at your current skill level, 4S would probably be a little to "on the edge of out of control", but you can certainly grow in...

Arron make up a new firewall (or front plate) out of some 2mm carbon fibre sheet or something similar and epoxy it on to the fusalage with the stuff the Turbine guys use (I'm pretty sure Darren can he...

Its hard to tell from the photo, but if the angle on the mount is down and to the right it will be preset thrust angle. Bring it down to the field so I can have a look at it.

After the work carried out by OMP, did you rebind your aircraft? It may be necessary to confirm the link by binding each aircraft between the radio and recievers. If the recievers are still flashing...

Shit yeh!!!!! Think you will find it to be a pretty easy flier. The most important thing with Bipes is to get the C of G spot on. I'm sure we can help you with that.
