Power Plant Installation As this is an I/C upgrade the motor mount had to be designed from scratch. I had a number of options available but ended up using a plate and bar stand off, I manufactured th...

Oh... they exist mate... they just cost an arm and a leg! I actually had to sell my kidneys so I could afford to buy one! But its peace of mind... so when all that money is belting around in the sky...

Almost forgot to mention.. its is the latest thing from Spectrum and has dual power supply with power sensative redundancy.... so to cut through the technical crap, it runs 2 separate power supplies t...

Finished the Electronics installation and did the first wing to fusalage fit up to test all my servos under load to check that my control system has the balls to hang in there for 10 minutes. My JR 1...

Tailplane and Rudder Assembly You would think that assembling the tailplane would be pretty simple, so did I ... Wrong! The elevator and rudder assembly was pretty straight forward using large CA hi...

Retract Installation The Big P51 comes with a very nice set of high quality mechanical retracts. I was looking at using servoless units but these things just looked to good not to use. The only let ...

Sorry that is just a term that I use and probably isn't correct, primarily I mean adjusting control thows on your radio and in particularly your preliminary end points, it depends on whether it is Ail...

The Aileron and Flap servo installation is finally finished. All of my control surfaces are being run by a new servo that I have never used before, they are Turnigy TG 1258's I am hoping that all the ...

That's the 2012 FMS catalogue ya maggot! Would you like me to bring it down to the field... it's got some cool stuff in it!

OK up till now I have been making desicions on what hardware I am going to use. With those decisions finally made and ordered, all of my goodies have finally arrived. So here are a few pics of "What...

I'm sure the 12S works fine on light weight 3D airframe Jason, but I think dragging around a 9 kg plane with a lot less wing area would probably fry a few to many things. What prop are you running ma...

Welcome to the build thread of my Hanger 9 P-51 Mustang 150 ARF. I thought it would be interesting and hopefully educational for anyone thinking about building a larger scale plane or even help out a...

Dont forget you've got 2 motors Mick Are U running separate ESC's or both off the one. 30 amps sounds like it might be OK if you have 2 of the suckers. I would do a ball park flying weight mate or...

Hi Mick Just to continue from Kierans input. The recommended glow 15 engines have a number of electric counterparts designed specifically to replace said glow engine. The simplest are the G series f...

Now I'm worried, I've got an Ice Light 75 in my Hotliner, what speedie are you using in your Hotliner, Kieran?

Sorry to confuse you there Frank. The aircraft I'm refering to is that ones big brother, its called the Sundowner F1 and has an 80" wingspan... Sick...

Now that Sundowner F1 is one fine lookin aircraft... Eflite 160 10s 17 x 12 prop Yeeeehaaaaaa... that sucker has just been added to the Gotta get me one of those book.... good luck gettin it back on t...

Jas ... that looks SWEEEEEEEEET!

I agree Jason, that flight could have been another 100 ft if the pilot controlled the flair.

No Dave, there have to be basic limits, or the sky is the limit (get it?) You should not allow any space age structural support, The whole thing should be made from one material. And what do you mea...

John Here is the link to the retracts I installed in the Rare Bear http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=23483

No problem at all John, might catch up next weekend!

I would hazzard a guess that Indolingo has a set up problem with his Rare Bear. The aircraft is very C of G sensative and if your set it up how HK suggest it is very tail heavy and a pig to fly. I had...

The HK 1400mm Rare Bear is not an FMS airframe Jason. I've been doing a heap of research myself and the only thing I can find that looks close is the HK 1600mm P51 Mustang prop, but as I dont know th...

I tried mine on a both a 4000 and 5000 during initial flight testing and found that the 5000 ruined the flight performance. I fly mine on a Zippy compact 4000 and it isn't a pylon racer but it sure is...

Its no speed demon, I recon the prop is about a 13 x 6 or thereabouts, so its not all that quick, its just got gobs of power. The prop actually makes the coolest sound at about half throttle but it c...

More than likely!

Finally got the replacement retracts from HK, they were pretty good actually its is just the backwards and forwards communication that slows things down. Anyway... forcast for tomorrow afternoon is g...

Took the RB up this afternoon after finishing the mowing. First flight was with a 4000 compact as far forward as it would go. It took off in about 5 meters at half throttle, a little trimming followe...

Sure have mate It has got enough torque to blow your budgie smugglers accross the street. 51 amps pulling 1100 watts should be a shade under 6000 rpm. Thats pretty cool on 6S with a 3kg aircraft. ...

I have been admiring this aircraft for some time, so as soon as it arrived in Oz I had to have one. The aircraft is made of a very hard EPO and is painted purple, all the other colours are ultra thin...

Looks like a great day was had by all... SPEWIN' I missed it! This looks like a nice place to visit, maybe next year! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wToa7MIh68A

I am pretty sure no one out there has a funfighter, I know because last Sunday there were about 25 members at the field, I took my T28 funfighter up for a blast and most of the members were gobsmacked...

I was going to be there with my T28 funfighter but unfortunatley I have a family function on that I can not miss... spewin'!

What a bunch of braindead fu#&@n maggots!!! Maybe next time these retards deciede to have a flash sale .... they actually check stock levels prior to making offers that cannot be fulfilled

SMS me your Bank details Wayne and I will transfer the money for my Zin to your account.

Cant comment on the L39 Frank, but if you are after a sweet flying PNP jet, that is a lot cheaper, I can recommend the Alpha, I had one and it was a pretty nice stable flyer. For 80 bucks you wont g...

Hi Pilots I was just checking out some stuff I need on Modelflights website and stumbled accross this mega deal. If you fly superlights or are building a super light plane you don't want to miss thi...

Hi Men Model flight has a Dualsky Motor sale on, so If you have been putting off buying that big motor dont miss this! Pricing is up to 70% off. FOR THE NEXT 48 HOURS ONLY... Dualsky Power ...

Just noticed this coming up next week. If you are looking for a great, no in should say brilliant trainer, you cant got past these things. BNF $289 its a no brainer. http://www.modelflight.com.au/p...

Looks the goods Pete If you want a Power 32 but would like to save a few bucks. These things are made by HK to specifically copy E Flite motors and have near identical specs http://www.hobbyking....

OK Guys Check this sucker out. If I wasn't in the middle of 2 other major projects I'd be ordering this beastie today. This thing would give Darrens A380 a serious run for its money. Love it!!! W...

Go Pete! As I said you can run a smaller prop with the slightly larger motor and it will draw less current. Once you get comfortable flying it you can just prop it up a bit for that extra Va va Voom...

Dont know about those Ozhobby things, they might be OK but anything unlabeled like that off Ebay cant be good,the Kv rate is to high which usually means torque is to low. Your best option by far is t...

Nice choise Pete! Go the Power 32 Option or the equivalent Turnigy G motor, we can tone down the throttle until you get a little more between the legs and then we can crank it up so the little sucker...

Howdy Pilots especially Kieran and Steve Check out this new Stryker from Model Flight It has had a complete design upgrade and really looks the goods with twin rudder servos fitted standard to incre...

As you all probably know I think Model Flight is Australians best online website. So I thought that I would start a thread where people can be brought up to date with Bargains, specials and new rel...
