Gazz thats a great idea! I reckon Stuart would be up for it. He rang me a little while ago & asked me to fix a guy's Blade 400 Heli (a heli i am "intimately" familiar with fixing), with the payment i...

I guess this is a place to start......Unless you use a different supplier. http://www.depron-australia.com/

Wow, that's impressive!! I'll need a wide angle adapter for the camera. :) "Long, Wide, Load Ahead" sign needed, plus Police escort! Have you worked out your V1 and V Rotate speeds for the Nissan?

Gday all, I noticed this "Warning Level 0%" on the RHS of my profile whenever I post..What does it mean? I thought it might have been a "Oh he's one of those helicopter pilots" thing, but Dave ...

Thanks Steve. So would that be like calling a helicopter a "mobile ceiling fan"? or something like that? :) :)

Ooh yeahhhh!! A mate has one & reckons they are the best fun you can have with your pants on! So, if you fly it with your pants off......... no- dont. :)

Thanks for the heads up Paul..It will be worth mentioning it whenever we go in.

Thanks Steve. How about we place a bulk order for RC boats? :)

Congrats Gazz. I would love to have seen it. No doubt you'll fly it maybe once or twice again in the future! :)

Dave, what's a runway?? Isn't it just an elongated helipad?

Thanks Rob. I wouldn't have expected any less from Proud Aussie Pilots flying an Aussie Airline. :) BTW all,my shoulder is still crook. Had an MRI today, 2 week wait to see the specialist again. Than...

Nice looking fuse Dave. But why would someone want a scale fuse and then not fly it scale-like?........just sayin' :)

Fair enough Dave. I love watching you do your 3D stuff........almost as much as love doing it myself! :) So I'm glad you are sticking to it. :)

Cool. Is it the Eflite MCX thingy?

Dave, don't get me started on Jit Connict....particularly on an open forum. ;) Don't get me started on QF in general at the moment. I'm glad that I'm at home on workers comp for a while.....keeps m...

That could tempt me to even get into Helis. Oh, wait, I already am....sorry, too many pain killers. :)

Congrats Gazz, that's %@##%& awesome! I think you are *^%(&^^ brilliant. (*^&%%^#% job mate! @&*^$(&^ congrats to all the other #@%@%$& Gold Wings achievers. I feel honoured be in your %%^&#*&^% pr...

Hi all. I thought I better touch base with you all. There are 2 reasons why I haven't been at the field for a while.. 1. Crappy weather. :) 2. I injured my shoulder at work in July & have...

Thanks for your comments and wishes, guys. That's a kind offer Gazz, but unfortunately with WC, I'm sort of locked in. I'm happy with the guy I'm seeing (that sounds SO wrong), my wife used to work w...

Looks and sounds beautiful Gazz. Congrats. Nice videoing too. I reeeeaaalllyy miss flying.

There was an old joke for Sydney weather..... Q. What do you get after 2 days of rain? A. Monday!

Thanks Gaz.

I refer you to my previous "joke". :(

That's impressive Gazz! I had seen in on youtube...but knowing what can be done with editing programs, I had my doubts. Reading your posts above has changed my mind! Well done.

6 days 21 hours and 19 minutes to go.....but who's counting??

Sorry to hear about it Si. I think you'll find that if it flies inverted in the UK, it should be fine here! :)

Gazz that's a great achievement, and it goes to a worthy recipient! Well done and congratulations! (from one old fart to another)

Kizza. I'm with you on the first part. The 2nd....well....my wife is in love with Mark Webber, so to keep the peace, I'm with whatever team he drives for, which means Red Bull for another year at leas...

Valid points, guys....On reflection I must agree with you. Having said that, I have been a fan of Lowndsey for years..Holden/Ford/Holden. Amazing race too. 1000Km, 161 laps, 6 1/2 hours, .29 of a sec...

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! Semi nude male!! The surgery is complete and went much better than everyone thought. The video explains. Thanks for all your kind words. BB http://www.youtube.com/wat...

Hi Gazz, Dr Daniel Biggs. I was at Westmead Pvt. BB.

yeah it is, Gazz. my wife worked with Daniel when he worked under Dr's Kohen and Goldberg...many years ago when she was a nurse.

Hi Ingo, thanks for the kind words. Yes Chris did get it to me thanks. Hope to see you again soon.....it'll be a couple of weeks until I can drive.

Enjoy all your flying guys...wherever....you go.....sniff....

That is awesome! There would have been some serious coordination needed between the 2 pilots I think. Dave, maybe there's something we can work on for 26th Jan 2012. :) ;) (Or not)

They are crazy for sure. I bet their next stunt will be to have enough Helis together to lift themselves off the ground! Maybe they could build a single RC Heli large enough to do it solo. Or even a ...

Dave H......wanna go halves???? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f-g1ZkbYnU&feature=feedu

I won't be there......again.......sniff.

Thanks Kev. Just hit "record" in time! :)

Dave......maybe after a bit more development. I'll wait until it can do 3D! Then I'll watch YOU fly it. :)

UPDATE: 3 weeks post op. All progressing according to plan. Saw the specialist today, he said, "Definately no flying for another 6 weeks!"(It wouldn't have mattered last weekend). Fortunately he mean...

It looked smoother than our normal 767 landings...with the gear down!

Aaron, I feel your pain about not flying. Actually I feel my own pain, but that's another story. :)

While recovering from my shoulder surgery, i thought some extra "physiotherapy" would speed things up. Holding the transmitter, even with a strap was tiring, but good "excercise". I set the camera up ...

Thanks Steve. I use Premiere Pro CS5. It has more features than I know what to do with, but I've used various forms of Premiere for 11 years, so the workflow etc is familiar to me. Thanks for the kin...

Servo Wrote: (12-11-2011, 09:01 PM) -- I want to practice some takeoffs. KevB -- What about the landings? ;)

That looked like my normal hovering! :) What will they do next? See how many Trex 700's it takes to lift a man?

I think it does come down to personal preference. Many years ago I had flaps operated by a rotary knob. I only ever used 2 settings..full up &full down. On the DX6 now, I use the switch for the sam...
