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

Hey Frank, happy that the maiden went well, they are a pretty terrific aircraft Gazz

I had another 3 flights with mine at Penrith on the weekend mate. I moved the C of G back 5mm from standard for the first flight and then another 5 for the last 2 flights and it almost hovers hands o...

Mine weighs 5.36 kg ready to fly. Thats with 2 x 5S 5000 35C-65C Nanotech batteries. What batteries are you runing in your Frank?

I use Align Velcro straps from ZJ Hobbies.... it is the best you will find. http://www.zeejayhobbies.com.au/tools-accessories/velcro-tape-cable-ties/cat_125.html?sort_by=&brand=1&brand=1

The big blue spinner sets us apart mate... mine is the same colour as the red on the airframe and I've got my big white wheel spats on mine so they will be easy to pick in the air.

Hey Frank That's a bloody nice lookin' plane you got there champ!! Looking forward to a litle bit of tandem flying mate!

I fly mode 1, many Heli die hards suggest Mode 2 is better but it just depends on what you learn with. 30% expo is a pretty good starting point. It wont make it easier to fly but it will make the He...

Sounds like a plan Alex Work commitments aside I will be flying early both Saturday and Sunday so I hope to see you see you there, then we can start to put these little trim and balance issues behi...

Hey Alex Ive been sitting on the side watching this thread evolve. And if you dont mind some constructive critisism. Id suggest getting your arse down to the field and having one of our more exper...

I would not stuff around with these guys. I would march in there today and tell them that it has not even been powered up yet and has obvious flight damage. If they wont give you a new one ask to sp...

Flying solo is at the discression of the certified instructors at our club. No one can fly solo until recieving verbal approval from said instructors, you do not have to have you bronze wings, but yo...

Hobbies in The Hills has the Spectrum DX6i on special at the moment for $199.00 and that includes 2 x AR6110 recievers and they normally retail for $80 each. If you are in the market for a good Tx th...

This thread is getting way off topic! Gentlemen please try to keep discussion in line with the thread. If you want to discuss something completely different then please open a new thread!

Absolutely... What a great day.... the PEMAC boys and HK get a big Bravo Zulu for a terriffic, proffesional, safe and well organised day out, the only negative was they were not expecting so many peop...

Good luck Jason.... Hope you kill 'em

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...

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...

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 ...

Nice purchase Aaron.... that looks like a sweet ride, I am looking forward to seeing how well a big foamy Bipe performs !!! Your forgiven too Pete.... its a nice feeling though ................ isnt ...

They quoted me $165.00 to send it............ too much........no hurry........ I can wait...... I will keep looking but have 3 other projects at various stages at the moment so I really dont need any ...

Actually Frank I'm not a fan of FPV at all, but horses for courses as they say. But I'm very serious about getting one of these big P38's

I wonder if there is enough room in the fuse for 2 x 10S batteries, because thats what it will need.

Crashproofing......hahahaha..haaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Sorry mate there is no such thing. However there are a number of processes around that certainly improve a models ability to ....take an impact. It certa...

Thanks for the links Jonathan. I have sent them an inquiry. Gazz

Thanks for the great Video Jason. They are a personal favorite of mine too. I just missed out on a P38 last week in RC Trader. The guy sold it 5 minutes before I rang him.... Spewing..... It was sti...

An outstanding landing George, it certainly was a text book display of how to land a plane without a nose wheel... well done mate.:D The applause from the crowd was a nice touch at the end of the lan...

It really does look like a full size bomber up close. The detail and finish quality is the best I've seen on a big foamy. Nice camera work too.

You should probably read the posts before making comments Arron... he won't be flying it at Parra, its too big... you will have to come to Penrith if you want to see the maiden.

My only other comment is............. SHIT COLOUR, you wanna stay about the tree line at PEMAC with this one, even if it has a 67 foot wing span, Iv'e seen heaps of people lose their plane against t...

Bloody Hell George You must be running out of room at your place champ. Looks like a wizzard bit of kit though mate, what breed is it and what's the story with the wingspan?

HO-LY SHIT MICKEY... that thing boogies. Very nice work.

I would have come along ... but a few days notice isn't enough... sorry guys!

This is the one I am probably putting in my HK Viper http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idproduct=21144 I would really like to put this one in http://www.extremerc.com.au/es...

The 2.4 kgs of thrust is the one that does it for me, plus the lighter battery pack will give a lot better performance. EDF's are a lot more weight sensative than prop driven aircraft, so if you are ...

I agree with Steve, if you want any EDF to have decent hand launch performance you gotta up the S rating and get some serious ponies under the bonnet.... or to coin an old performance phrase... YEEE...

I had a similar smaller version and once it had some air speed it was magic, but they do not like you trying to fly them slowly at all... and by slowly I mean under about 80 kmph. Unless it has gobs ...

Hello once again from Gazza's Aviation Here is the link to Part 2 of my Jet Teng L39 build http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJ32_YaJ8oc&feature=channel_video_title Hope you find it interesting Gazz

Thanks heaps Paul, very helpful info and pics, cheers mate. Gazz

Hi Paul I would appreciate it if you could take a few pics of your fan installation and drop them on this post. I am up to the final stages now and would like to see how you and Darren have mounted ...

Same as any motor Rob. Depending on the current draw but I use bullets. The Stumax 90 I am currently installing in my L39 draws a little over 100amps but the manufacturer recommends 4 mm bullets, I q...

Howdy Expensive EDF Enthusiasts I have just posted a video on Utube, hopfully helping anyone who is building a Jet Teng model, obviously with the emphasis on an L39. I will add to my mini documentar...

Hi Paul How is the L 39 build going, from the look of things on the club forum you have a very busy time ahead of you with all of these airliners etc. Just thought I would make you aware of somethin...

Hey Paul Did you get over to Darrens on the weekend and if so what were Darrens suggestions re mounting the turbine, my best guess is that the thing has to be epoxied (hysol) in on fixed rails in the...

O'well looks like I will be doing a bit of in flight trimmimg then, I have ordered 8 of the suckers and they are on the way. My mistake I thought that the MG 555's were digital, I've got 5 of them in ...

Whats wrong with the Turnigy MG 555's Kieran?

Buy one and test it yourself Paul, I cant really speak from vast experience, but I bought a top of the line digital Bluebird retract servo for my Trex600 Airwolf, with 12 kg of torque, it wasn't cheap...

I ordered my servos this afternoon. I have been looking at a number of options but decieded to go for these http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__8956__Turnigy_555MG_Slim_Wing_Servo_Metal_Gear...

Hi Paul and Kevin and anyone else tuning in. I thought I would start a thread so we can discuss ideas and equipment options for the 3 big EDF jets we are all about to start building. OK I'll start...
