Back in the mid 70's my brother had a control line model & I got interested too. A couple of mates got them & we sort of "evolved" into RC. It was interesting to note that the "Hobby King" of the '70'...

Hi Pat, welcome to the hobby, and to this forum. Firstly, you will find everyone here, and at our club are friendly, and more than willing to offer help and advice. I started with a/c about 30 yrs a...

I have an idea that Steve S can relate to. : Check for blown globes properly BEFORE calling a sparkie to your house to get the "faulty" circuit fixed! Isn't that right Steve? :)

In times of bad weather, you can always come to my place & help me clean/tidy up or paint. :) :) (Trouble is, I have to do it even in good weather ATM.) :(

Maybe we'll see this at our field one day......... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVm3fvCGeQI&feature=g-vrec

More from the crazy Germans! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_-XovDMocc&feature=g-all-u

Sorry I haven't been down for a while, guys. I have been working a bit over the weekends :(, & when I have had them off, Mrs R has been putting me to work painting bedrooms, & doing big house cleanup ...

I want that 4 secs of my life back! :) :)

He must have had Parkinson's to get his thumbs moving that quickly! (No offence to anyone with it, or who knows anyone with it, or is in anyway associated with it in any way shape of form) There, I th...

I like the Zombie Family car rear window stickers! Suits us perfectly. :)

Steve, that is an AWESOME site!

I tried with babelfish, but only got a bunch of numbers. :(

Happy Birthday guys. Hope you both have good one's.

Yes, many thanks to all concerned with the hard work keeping our field in good nick. Unfortunately for me, weird work shifts, only one car & kids needing Mum's taxi during the week, stops me from hel...

That's Ground Resonance. Deadly thing, as you saw. The ONLY way out is takeoff immediately. Here's an example of that in an episode of MacGyver. The following is a copy & paste of the description ...

Thanks for the re-upload Jason. Yep sounds great now! :)

John, I don't have an answer for the ESC problem but, for the over-quick spool up, there may be a temporary help (until the new ECS's arrive). Check your throttle curve & see what it does from 0 throt...

Beautiful flying Jason, but it was your Bipe, not Samste's EDF as the title suggested.

Awesome Job Steve!

Rob, I'm glad you clarified your post with the word "Female". The "70 Vestal Virgins" waiting in paradise......is not specific which gender they are!?!?

Dave, I was in San Fran many years ago when Fleet Week was on. saw the Blue Angels display over the water. The highlight was the soloist, particularly when he flew inverted under the Golden G...

Men, take note! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpFD-kgQxnI&feature=related

"Back to normal". I love that..what IS normal?? :) Plus there's this old classic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEnOeITKZAA

Yeah, that's what I do too.....only not as well as you. :)

That's fast!! Good filming to keep up with it, Jason.

Just wait to see if we get any of the Warragamba Dam runoff. Or should it be "damn" runoff.

I think I'll stick floats on the Spitty & convert it the the Schneider Trophy Racer!

Nice flight Kev! Looks even better in the flesh.

Thanks for the images Steve. The unfortunate thing now is....I DO remember them....all! AND....I used to fly some of them. Yup, mid 70's it was. :( :( That makes me feel REAL old now..Thanks.

Sorry Steve the link didn't work on my Mac. Maybe it's TOOOO old. :)

I should have come down Steve, just to see you cry. :) :)

Steve M..Sorry for the late reply, is that a "thanks" for telling you, or a "thanks" you'd like a DVD/BLURAY of the recording?

yeah, all this rain and cold temperature must be 'global warming'

Yeah, you'd think that before trying to fly something that expensive, he'd learn to hover first! :)

Yeah, I can't either. But since we can't fly, what else is there to do? :)

Rob merci. J'attends votre appel. BB

Yes John they are small. I have the Blade 400 and it's only 700Gms, with battery (2200 3S) The 450 isn't much bigger.

Me too. An HK 500 GT is less than 1/2 that, & probably better quality....But, someone will buy one...somewhere...sometime....

Interesting, Eflite have gone really small with their MCPx, now they have gone 500 size with a BnF heli! http://www.modelflight.com.au/products/Blade_500_X_Flybarless_Helicopter_BNF-10101-172.html?...

Bonjour Rob. Je peux te le donner demain, Samedi, quand si vous aimez. :):) I just figured with 5 hrs Le Airbus time you would understand that by now. "I can give it to you tomorrow, Saturday, any t...

Noice Kimmy!

Sounds like it will be a good one for tomorrow. Pity..I'll be in the "Lurching Bat Cave" (Flight Simulator), when I should be flying models! Oh well.

Rob, this is a copy/paste from my recent reply to your post on my YouTube version of this video. I have re-posted it here for the info of others, and to elicit any ideas. Quote: -- G'day BB I thin...

Yeah I did Dave. 50% rudder, 30% the rest as you suggested. It was a bit less sensitive, however, with the gusts it was hard to tell any real diff. But I'm sure there was.

As some of you know, Rob did not get to see his Airwolf do any aerobatics. Soooooo, in between showers and wind gusts today(although a couple of gusts hit while flying), I thought I'd make Rob's dream...

OK, thanks Rob & Steve.
