I don't have one on mine,I am pretty sure none of the other guys run them either. The short 2 blade prop doesn't give any issues. Frank and Steve to touch'n'goes all the time and I am not aware of any...

Nice job Frank. That will look pretty "ken good it air.

I've got a AR6115 in my Minimoa glider and that sucker has been that far away I wasn't sure which way it was going and never had any isues with brown outs, on the other hand I've got a few AR500's in...

Only guys I know that do FMS are those F**ken Wan**rs in Queensland, and you don't even want to think about dealing with them.

Thats a good idea Angus but what you have to careful of is the servo mounting!!! If you are using the same brand/model servos with a Y lead to will still need a servo reverser as they will be workin...

Hi Angus Looks great mate. On the servos issue, if you need a servo reverser I have 3 of them that I bought for a project that I dont need. If you would like one let me know, they are pretty small an...

Most if not all of the FMS models I have seen are a very good quality airframe, but they are all let down by very poor quality electronics and the retracts are rubbish. I have the FMS Trojan and it f...

They look like Hacker motors to me Dave?

Very Impressive footage Dave. Scott is quite obviously a master at his craft. Enjoyed every second of that. Gazz

You are probably right Steve. I was just pointing out the differences between said epoxies, because there IS a difference. I personally use 15 minute on almost everything and it works fuknorn!

Thats not actually the case guys. The different cure time epoxies have SIMILAR compositions the only difference is that the faster the set time the more brittle the epoxy is when it completes curing...

Dont get me wrong Johnathan. If you are keen to build your own plane then by all means go ahead, its just that flying a home built, untried and unproven aircraft will only make the learning process sl...

That looks like a pretty good choise, although I have not flown one personally.

Johnathan YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!! If you purchase a semi resonable aircraft then your learning/flying experience will be much easier than those who try (and I mean try) to learn to fly with ch...

Well said Steve, I have been flying the T28 for many years and trainered a number of people from beginner to good solid pilot with this aircraft. I actually learnt to fly on one. If you what an aircr...

The Yak is not an aircraft that I would recommend at a trainer, there is no dihedral (angle) built into the wings because it is built for the more advanced pilot. Thet means they dont really have any ...

You've hit the nail on the head there Johnathan. Purchasing the DX 8 is a smart more as it saves you having to spend more money further down the track as your experience improves. The DX8 also has bet...

Hey Steve, If you are running low on profanities, I am more than happy to sling you a couple... I've got shitloads!!!

Looks OK Steve.... Whats the story with the micro pilots. Seriously ..... what is it with these from HK. Have they looked at the other major competitors products... or are they just too stupid to do ...

Hobbies in the Hills has a pretty good range of 3 blade Master airscrew Props, Ive bought my last 3 props from them for around $12

Im now flying my FMS Trogan on 5S 4000 25C and I'm spinning a 13 x 8 x 3 blade Master airscrew and it draws 42 amps static so I recon our aircraft have the same motor for sure. So if you wanted to get...

You obviously missed the brief on FMS aircraft Frank, Yes, they are beautiful airframes, Yes, they fly beautifully, and YES the electronics packages that come with said beautiful aircraft are absolute...

I got my 13 x 8 3 blader from Hobbies in the Hills. Its a master airscrew!

If you read the conversion data for 2 to 3 then 3 to 4 blade props you will see why. You can do the Maths on the 4 to 5S upgrade. Generally if you up the S rating on a specific airframe with the sam...

I have just started flying my Trojan on 5S, but the only reason I decieded to do that was because I broke the prop. It is a 13 x 9 3 blade standard. I replaced it with a Masterairscrew 13 x 8 3 blade...

Hey George..... Bite me!!!!

If the Corsair is close in weight to the Trojan, I dont think you will get anywhere near 7 minutes. All the FMS birds run the same 500kv 4S motor, and it is a ripper, they do however all have differe...

Looks very nice Frank, I am looking forward to seeing that beastie in the air. I was in two minds when I ordered my FMS T28, I was very close to getting the Corsair.

Looks like you are getting there George..... I think you have the paitience of a saint!!!! Gazz

Lookin good mate, very impresed with the progress thus far. Gazz

You are spot on Rob, dont need sound card thingies, you should hear the great sound of the big twins at full throttle, the ground test blew me away, not only does it sound pretty sweet but its got big...

Arrived at the field this morning at 9.30 to find 7 cars full of people waiting eagerly to commit aviation. The day started sunny and clear with a light breeze that turned into a strong gusting wind ...

A few of us (fixed wings guys) headed out to Penrith today to sample their field. A really nice bunch that were very welcoming to us PRCAC guys. The flying conditions were all but perfect. The field...

I too was more than impressed. A "micro flybarless heli with gyro" that was flying thanks to Dave with the finess and stability of a much, much larger heli. If any body is thinking about getting into ...

The real trick is to learn to use just the right amount of throttle. Issue 1. Not enough and the bird losses altitude quickley which causes an automatic brain response that triggers adding a heap ...

Thanks Steve Apology not necessary mate, Was thinking about going out to Penrith with you guys but saw your post to late last night to reply. I ordered a T33 today but wanted to know how big the ba...

Sounds like a nice spot Steve Dont suppose you took any pics. I arrived at our field this morning hoping to catch up, re your post from yesterday. After looking at the water damage, chating with the...

Yeh!!!... good try Dave... I have tried to stay impartial during this debate but as you seem intent on indirectly attacking MY radio and talking up your Fu thingy.... you have left me no option but to...

Sounds like a magic deal Jonathan.. I think both systems have pro's and con's. I have even thought about changing over to Futaba once or twice. But I have stayed with spectrum ( I use a JR11X Zero) b...

The Futaba radio's are arguably the the best on the market, their receivers however are a lot more expensive than the Spectrums and if you get hooked on the hobby then you will be spending a lot more ...

Now your thinkin George!

BEER goes without saying Frank, but not while flying. You would also have the manditory daily BBQ to raise funds for..... um...... well......err...... me!

There would be absolutely no question about it. If I won lotto or some impossiblly rediculous government money laundering scheme designed specifically to make the average looser believe they actually...

Hey Guys If you are looking for the best employee on the planet...... I'm in!

Hey Steve, they are really cheap, I think I will order 2..... NOT!

Hey Steve Your new avatar is giving me a friggin headache...... Oh... no... hang on a second... its not the Avatar.... its the beer.........blah hah hah hah hah hah !!!

Thanks for the well wishes guys. The first flight was a trim and nerve stabiliser, as well as a battery/ flight time test. Next one will be a lot longer. The flight batts were still at 3.94 volts pe...

Well the maiden flight went like clock work. The only glitch was that I had to cycle the retracts twice to get them to go up. Conditions were perfect with a clear sky and literally no wind. I took ...

Holly Hanger 9 Batman, the big P51 is finally finished. Flight batteries arrived yesterday so I spent a few hours last night getting the C of G sorted, then I manufactured the battery tray and did th...

Here are a few final pics of the Stang, I am just waiting on batteries so I can sort out the Battery tray, C of G and go flying. Check out the crazy guy I got to look after flying.
