Ok, small change of plans. As there are some depron working techniques I need to practice,I've decided to not start this build for a couple of weeks. I have an F16 needing some TLC so follow my progre...

Nice corals kev. You are not mucking around. they were'nt there yesterday when I was there. Love the fish too Paul

Hi Rob, Just to add to what Kieran has just said. My Gunfighter is now using the 3530c 1100Kv Motor and I'm very happy with that. Don't know what your plane weight but for a guide my Mustang is around...

Hi Drew, I've added some rods to my order too. Maybe we'll get lucky and have others join us. Paul

All look great Steve. Glad you got that one of my new hand launch position. Feel a lot more comfortable doing it that way. Paul

Hijack ok this time. :) Don't know about Phantom....(might be my next plane).. :D Seriously no problems but I'm sure if I can do it so can you especially after the awesome job you did on the EasySpo...

Ok everyone, to wet your appetite so to speak here is a short youtube video of the finished model. Note that it incorporates some footage of the real thing just in case you can't tell the difference ;...

Thanks Rob will have a chat when next we me. I'll make sure I photo document the swing wing feature as I'm pretty sure you would be able to incorporate it into an F111. This build is a "Leap of faith...

Very nice. Must ask him to make me a set of retracts for the Gunfighter. :) Seriously though, he is a master modeller. Wish I had 25% of his skills I would be happy. Those models would be worth a sma...

Thanks Kieran, It just so happens that I've got a spare Turnigy 2835-2200Kv Inrunner here as I took it off of the old Electrafun XP. Also got some spare esc and plenty of HXT 900 servos. I will need a...

I've just received my next plane kit today. This is going to be a build progress thread were I will post photos of various stages of construction. The aircraft is a F14 Tomcat (TopGun) swing wing figh...

Yes, it's blowing pretty hard here (Winston Hills) too. Going by the old gum tree across the road I'd say we'll be lucky to get any flying in. Will finish breakfast and stroll down to field anyway to ...

That was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo gooooooooooooooooooooooood flyingggggggggggggg. :) Could have been very interesting if a car just happened to come along that road at the time. :o Paul

looks great mate. Come around and fix mine up when you have time :D Paul

Won't make it myself, but just looking at the weather here in Winston Hills at 3:40pm. Not a cloud in the sky and my big gum tree across the road is bearly moving. Looks like you are going to have a ...

Great video performance Steve. Think you are on a winner with that. :) Paul

So I take it that the aircraft is still missing? Do we know what the objects were? The first large white object looked to me like a piece of a foam esky. The other item certainly looked like a plane. ...

Looks like a lot of fun. :D Quite like the 5 min free for all combat idea. Last man standing is the winner. Paul

Good ones Steve. Wonder what sort of condition it will be in after all this time. Looks like it will be a bit tricky getting into the location. This is certainly a great time for someone who has a cho...

I'm not available tomorrow as I have to pickup the grandkids from the airport in the morning. Hope the weather is good on Sunday as both Kev and myself are planning on getting down to the field and ca...

Yep I too think it's a plane. Good work Steve, you must have eyes like an eagle to have spotted that in the video. :D Colin, bring down your gum boots next time you come as you have a bit of wading ...

Thanks Mick that was the frame I was thinking of but it doesn't look like it's a plane. If you can look at the frame that Steve has mentioned we may yet find it. Paul

Hi Mick can't help you with your camera problem but can you please try a stop frame view of your video titled flight 1 at around the 1:45 mark. I can see something white in the reeds as you are making...

Nice looking plane Stephen. I have been very busy working on kitchen floor and computer room. Won't make it down tomorrow either but the work is nearly finished and I'll soon be back flying again. Hop...

I'm out of action for the rest of the week too. Keeping wife happy by pulling up old floor tiles in the kitchen and putting down new ones. :roll: This is the only chance I'll have for awhile as I've...

I'm hoping to be down the field on Monday weather permitting. Got something on tomorrow so can't make it then. Paul

Merry Christmas to all. Thanks for a wonderful year I really have enjoyed your friendship and company and I'm looking forward to continuing on next year. I wish you and your families all the best and ...

Wait doesn't bother me either. If I really need something fast I can always order it myself and pay the premium. I'm happy to wait most of the time. Paul

Is it 12 years.......? Seems like only yesterday :) You have done a great job on your first attempt. Well done. Looking forward to seeing it fly on Saturday. Hopefully I too will have a new model rea...

Not today mate. Have a few things to do including doctor's appointment. Hope it's not too hot or windy for you. Can you please bring your reamer to the field on Saturday as I have a couple of props n...

Hi Chris, Can I suggest that you contact our club secretary John Considine at kellises@bigpond.net.au with any further questions as he will be better able to answer. regards Paul

Great video Kieran, You can hear those servos working hard throughout the flight. Was the camera mounted on the tail? Paul

Hi Chris, Welcome to the forum. I will try to answer some of your questions. 1. If you currently hold a MAA membership card you are welcome upon production of such card to fly as a guest of the club a...

I'll be late down tomorrow as I have to go to Kev's place and pick up his car first. It's his work's Xmas party tomorrow and we are looking after Ryan. Pat has to use my car to take him to a birthday...

good video drew but we need some keen eyesight to see the drill bit and skewer. :D Good to see someone with engineering skills. Paul

Looking great kev. You didn't miss anything this morning . Only people to fly were Steve with his tigerjet and Ingo got his cub up in the air and had a devil of a job getting it back down again. At on...

Hi Rob, Kev has been crook this week and he doesn't appear to be around at the moment but thought I might mention not to worry about the covering iron for him. Chris has kindly loaned him his iron and...

I won't be able to make it tomorrow afternoon (26/11). I have Foxtel coming on Friday morning to do some work and I need to make some access for him tomorrow. Paul

I had a good close look at the wings at rest on the ground and they were in fact resting on the aileron linkage dependent on which way wing was leaning.. I went and put the skids next to the linkages ...

Hi Guys, New Gunfighter is all ready for maiden flight tomorrow. Just have a quick question re "wing skids". I bought some in the last HC order I want to put onto Gunfighter to protect aileron servos...

Sorry Guys, Would love to say yes and meet you there but unfortunately can't make it. Pity as I might have maidened the new Gunfighter. :( Have a good time I'll be thinking of you. Paul

Looks Great Kev. It's come up nicely. Just cut some silicone tubing from your aquarium and slide over the linkages, should do the job. Paul

Kev Press ON/OFF button...switches on camera and yellow light comes on. Press Video button ...HOLD till yellow light flashes 3 times. You are now recording. Press Video button again to stop recording....

Sorry Guys can't make it Thursday. :cry: New Gunfighter is in oz. :D Hope that it may be delivered tomorrow but if not hope it makes it Friday. Pretty keen to get back into the air on the weekend. ...

Great work Kev. Like the colours and think Transformers decal would look cool. bet you can't wait for the weekend to come around again seeing you missed out last time

Yes, congrats on new gold wings Kieran. :) Unfortunately I'm not feeling too well this morning so I won't be down for a fly. Hopefully I'll be ok tomorrow and will come down then. Enjoy the day guys,...

Nice neat job Steve. Looking forward to seeing it fly on the weekend. Just from the little I saw on the video it looks like a real nice model. Paul

You are of course correct Rob. The elevator servo in the Tucano is located much further forward thus reducing the angle where the 2 pushrods meet. The idea of 2 elevator pushrods in the Tucano was sug...

Hi Steve, Kev and I both have Tucano's still to be built. The elevator setup is quite similar to your Cessna. Mark at Extreme RC where we bought them from advises that most of his customers bring the...

Quote: -- At $69.95 it's very cheap too but the only issue is the freight charges as it's 2799g - do you have an idea Kieran what the freight cost might be? If it's reasonable I might order one next ...
