Guys, As our secretary has approached Parra Council and asked about access to the field and as so far the council have been unable to give us any answer I strongly suggest we do not remove that rope b...

That looks cool. Lots of fun too.

Nice video Steve, They are the same retracts I have put in my Mustang. You did a great job with the fitting of them. P51 wing must be a little bit thiner as I almost came right through the wing fittin...

I've successfully used the fibre tape that Claudius mentioned in some of my builds. You can get it at Bunnings. It's like a clear packing tape with fibre threads running through it.

Bumber....................In more ways than one :)

I used to have something a little bit similar. Instead of battery power it used a hand crank. You would crank this handle furiously and the heli would lift off and as you rotated the heli would follow...

When the time comes I may get those Bluebird servos. They are $20 cheaper per servo than the cheapest Hitec HS5125 I can find in Singapore. Here is Aust. the 5125's are anything from $75 up.

Now that's flying............ Where can I get one? :)

Thanks Gazz. For mounting the thin wing servos kev and I will be using these. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__7024__Servo_Proctectors_Black_Colour_.html Have seen them in use on rcgroups an...

I don't have any first hand experiance with this but I have read a few posts on rcgroups discussing this or something very similar to this. Results were mixed, Don't think enough people have tried it...

Thanks Gazz, this will be a very handy thread for all of us. I have not started to build my L39 yet due to other unfinished projects but once I get them out of the way I shall be looking towards what ...

Yea I noticed on Tuesday that main strip was still pretty soft a few times my wheels sank into the ground and I had trouble taxiing. Weather has been great since then so hopefully all ok on Saturday

I unexpectedly found myself with some free time this afternoon as I got a call telling me not to pickup my grandkids from school,so I took myself down to our field and enjoyed a couple of hours in th...

Great report mate. Congrats on your new favorite aircraft......:) Are you flying at our field tomorrow?

It's a crazy shipping method. 6 days to get from Singapore to Zurich? God knows how long from there to Sydney, can't believe that was deliberate. Guess they didn't know where Sydney was.

Thanks for the update Steve. Looks like gumboots are the order of the day then.

Who is the naked girl in the fur coat standing under the Lion King sign? Bet that gets you all looking.........................................:)

Bummer, wish someone would catch a few of these hoods. Maybe if a few were clipped over the ear and then thrown to the cops we would get rid of a few. Mindless idiots. :(

Depressing sight..................:(

Re club discount.. Has anyone told Stuart that your from the Parramatta Club? I've been told that he will give you a discount but you have to mention the club first. He does not just give discounts...

Hi Gaz thanks for the offer of the programming card. I haven't got around to thinking too much on using a Bec yet but I'm sure I will have one. For servos all I've worked out so far is that I(kev a...

Got down the field at 4pm with Kev. Met up with Chris and KevB and did a few flights before fading light stopped us. Guys you did a great job of mowing the strip it looks really good. Thanks to all o...

I think I'll give it a miss AGAIN........:( Everything pretty damp around here. Light drizzle that is persistant and looks like it's going to stay that way for awhile.

Yep been there a few times now. He has a good selection of bits and pieces. Much better than Ultimate Hobbies.

Sorry to hear that John. At least the weather has not been great and you haven't missed too much.

Hi George, Welcome aboard!!

with maybe an escort of mustangs for protection....:)

Hi guys Just wanted to draw your attention to a sneeky little HK trick that has caught me out. I usually use the HK 929MG Digital servos on my foamies. They are a good cheap little servo. Hobby ...

Ok mate just for you..... This probably looks more like me anyway.

Perhaps I should just grab my 737 and join you at Mt.Annan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WasWlaVNgbU&feature=player_embedded What a beutiful place to fly.. Norway in the spring/summer.

Gold medal to Peter for saying 737. Andrew you were out it's 737-700. :) Made by Windrider in HK under license to Boeing. Boeing provided them with all the detail specifications to made a 1-18.5 Scal...

Twin 70mm Gary Kev. As yet I haven't made up my mind on colours.[hr] Still awaiting some components to arrive. Only ordered this on Saturday night and was surprised to see it delivered this morning fr...

It arrived this morning and it's Big!!!!!:D Had to unpack it to make sure all was ok, glad I did it when wife was out otherwise she would have gone balistic at me using the dining room table. Just for...

Nice video mate. Gotta luv that Gopro..............:)

Nice video Andrew. Got a good view of all the water lying around. Looks like quite a few people still ventured down the field today.

Thanks guys. Kev and I have decided to give the flying a miss today. We will arrange our mugs shots for Kieran. Hope those of you who go to Penrith have a great day.

Did anyone fly at our field today other than heli's? Just wondering what the conditions were like, and if cars can get in. I am planing on being there tomorrow if runways are useable.

Here is a photo of a dolly I found on rcgroups. No details of how it was made but looks like it's all just cut out of depron(including the wheels) and some steel rod for an axle.

Welcome to the Jet Teng Club Gaz. Any news when the Stumax Fan/Motor is due?

All the best mate. So the BIG 50 hey!!!!!!!!!! :)

I may be tempted to fly Sat and Sun this weekend if conditions are good. If so, Saturday will only be for an hour or two.

Looks Nice Gaz. Seems to land a bit slower than the PC9. Wonder how much it will cost.

Not sure what you have in mind but I bought my aluminium case at Bunnings for about $30. It has foam separators inside but I found them too restrictive so I got some soft foam I had lying around and c...

Wish you young blokes would lay off...:) At least you're not ancient like me.

Thanks Steve, me and Kev will be there as close to 9:30 as possible.

Hey Steve or anyone else. How do we get into the Penrith field? Is it off Russel Street?

Yeh and that the Orange HK receivers suck when compared to Spectrum Hey that's a pretty wide generalisation there Gaz. :) Quite a lot of people are actualy have a great deal of success with the Oran...

I've got the Jet Teng L39. Kev also got the Jet Teng Hawk. Really can't compare the Jet Teng to the HET as the HET only has very thin fibreglass skin (similar to their Sniper) whereas the Jet Teng has...

Came across this video while browsing the web. I found it quite interesting and thought some of you may find it the same. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRyOXDGgIh8
