Well I connected up Kev's watt meter and fired up the mustang with the little motor that Steve gave me. Look's like I'll just be a spectator in the morning as that motor drew over 45 amps at about 3/4...

I like it Steve... might get around to naming all mine sometime. Although they do it called a few things some weekends :evil: Paul

Hi Steve Mustang is ready for another go. :) :) That little motor has a ton of power I'll have to be careful I don't smoke the esc. It's only a 25amp one and I reckon this thing will exceed that ea...

I have everyone's goodies from the last group order. Picked them up from Kieran's place today and will take down to the field tomorrow morning. I won't be at the field on Sunday so any goodies left ov...

Nasty one that. :evil: Don't think we can repair an airframe after it explodes. Paul

Looking good Mate, better than a bought one :D :D We'll have to think of a good name for her now. Bit like "Heinz" (57 varieties). ;) Paul

I also Nominate Ingo for having "The Aircraft with most repairs" Take your pick on whichever models he has. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Paul

I'm going to nominate for "The aircraft with the shortest flight time" My Supercheaper P51 Mustang has gone straight to the ground on every hand launch so far. I might even be runner up in this catego...

Glad there was no permanent damage. Sounds like you were having fun up till then. Isn't it always the way just when you think everything's going ok then suddenly drama.. :( I had my share last Satur...

How did you mount it Steve? I take it you have overcome the shattering of the mount problem? Great speed considering there was hardly any wind today. If you had last Sunday's wind behind you today you...

Great video... I even saw Colin's plane :) Paul

Good find Kieran, Now we just need to work out how to get up there and get Colin his plane back. Not my best of days today, The Cessna took a really hard hit and the electafun's wing was destroyed bey...

The electrafun was originally severely underpowered and we all known how that flew :evil:

Very cleaver chappie.................... :) Well done. Paul

As Kev had his birthday today and had the day off work he and I decided to do a bit of flying and work on his T28 and spruce goose. We went down to the field around 10am with my Cessna which had a new...

Very nice Kieran. She has come up really well. Paul

Did any of you guys do any flying today? like the colour of your T28 Kieran. Paul

good luck Colin, I hope you can get it back, and it's ok when you do. That's pretty much what I did this afternoon too, I was just turning onto final and as I turned into the wind I realised that I wa...

wonder what Colin is planing on doing? Guess all you can do is front up on Monday and ask if it's possible to get up on their roof. Other than that it's a write off. I must admit it is an easy thing t...

Here is a couple of better photos taken with my digital camera. Note new black bottom and Registration details. This is after 2 coats of polyurethane, probably add at least 1 other. http://i848.photo...

Ok Steve, I'll take the camera off the usb now. No point in overcharging it. Thanks for the advice. Paul

Finished the painting tonight. Added some black under the nose up to the rear wheels with a white bar separating it from the blue top. Will now leave it overnight and then apply a coat or (four) of po...

Hi Steve, Thanks for the camera details. Good to know in case of problems. What do you mean if you overcharge it? I was just going to leave it plugged into the usb port all the time except when going...

So Far everything I've painted (Mustang & Cessna) have been hand painted. I bought 2 airbrushes from HC but I don't have a compressor for them. I tried to be smart and buy a small compressor from Supe...

Decided to test out my new key ring camera with a couple of photos of my new colour scheme for my newly modified ST Cessna. New Nose wheel assembly and new C3530 1100KV motor to replace the stock one...

I'll be there Saturday, but as Kev has just said we both will be unavailable Sunday. Sometimes you just have to miss out :roll: Any "brave" fathers flying Sunday? :) Paul

How well does that T28 cowling fit? It looks good in the photo. Paul

That sounds like real good advice Kieran. Kev bring her down Saturday and we'll she how she goes. Also give you an idea of how it's gonna fit in the car :) Paul

Have a good time Steve. I'm sure the Sabre will be well worth the trip. I saw some footage on youtube of the maiden flight of the restored Black Diamond sabre and she looked real nice. Hope weather is...

It sure is his plane. Can't wait to see his face when he opens his birthday presents :) Wonder how much his membership fees are. ;) Paul

I did a couple of good spins a while back......... Remember the EF into the factory parking lot? :twisted: Also the time I went down on the far side of the field when the magpie claimed the credit. :...

Looking good for the parachute drops mate. I'll have to give a bit of thought as to which plane I need to modify. Somehow can't see the Electrafun as being the one :) Funjet looks good is that a new...

Great job mate. Do you want me to call around Tuesday night and pick up my stuff? I'll fit in with whatever you want. Paul

Thanks for that Steve. I thought that it was too good to be true. :( As it was just lying around I thought I would give it a try. Paul

Battery is DiaMec 4.2 Amp Hour 12 Volt. Jaycar Cat No: SB-2484 (Sealed Lead Acid Battery) Charger is 12V 350mA Jaycar Cat No: MB-3517 Paul

Ok Steve now I've confused myself. After sending the question to you I looked up a Jaycar catalogue to see what it said about the battery and charger. First thing I notice about the battery it said t...

Hi Steve Think your bag is great, may end up doing something similar. I've got a question for you about batteries. I found a maintenance free battery that I used to use in the field with my computeri...

Here's another one. Who can land inverted. ;) Kev you came close didn't you? Paul

let me know when you want a dogfight and I'll give you one on-line. :) I wasn't aware that we could do that. I reckon that would be great. Let's talk tomorrow night about setting it up. Paul

Hi Mick, Welcome to the forum/club. I only started out in this hobby around April so I know what it's like deciding on what to get. I ended up with a Spektrum DX6i radio and don't regret it. I bought ...

I'll probably be up for a challenge or two. :) How about who can safely Land on the Electricity Tower :twisted: Paul

Not looking good here. Wind is very strong. Radio says 36 kph. Think I'll give it a miss and continue painting my Cessna instead. Paul

Terrible pilots..............they all missed :evil: Really is madness, so many identical planes in such a small area. wonder why so many would be happy to have the same aircraft as everyone else.

No doubt about you Kev. When you decide to do things you do it in a "BIG" way. :D Paul

Quote: -- Shame about the midair however a bit of glue and a quick buff should set things straight -- Rob, Don't think so in this instance. Darren's plane got totaled :( In fact the motor is now in...

Airframe is all back together again. Wing too is now repaired. Luckily most of it went back together like a large jigsaw puzzle. :) Now just touching up the paintwork so that at least it looks presen...

Nice ski run Steve. Was that using the key ring camera? Not bad if it was. Weather today in Sydney was great for flying. Unfortunately Kieran (flying Darren's T28 ) and Kev (flying his T28) got a litt...

Sorry I gave you wrong info Rob. DX6i needs you to hold the trainer switch. Did not know that DX7 had a dedicated bind switch. Hope you have got it working ok. Paul

I got it............. :) $19.99 plus shipping. That's a bummer as that's $29. Anyway we're in the video business Kev ;) Paul
