Great report Wayne, glad to hear all went well. Look forward to seeing it over the weekend.

Yea I'm sorry I missed it too. Been sick all day did not get out of bed until mid afternoon. Great start to Easter weekend.:( Anyway, tomorrow is another day as they say, so I'm planning on coming dow...

I would love to help you out with the mowing but health issues prevent me. I even have the wife cut our lawn whenever Kev can't make it. He too would be willing to help out tomorrow but he and the fam...

I think you are trying to say that you will be down the field every day this weekend weather permitting......? :)

I think there is also kevj and steveb????? I'm sure one of them will confirm that or not. To quote our illustrious president "With so much sky the odds of a mid air are a 1000 to 1" hmmmm :) Just curi...

I'm afraid Owen and I will have to warn you that our field is a "NO FLY Zone" for German and Japanese aircraft and will be severly dealt with by the Mustangs

Unless you change some of the setting for each plane in Phoenix I think that they are all pretty docile compared to the real thing. Also are you using any wind when you are flying? Most of the time at...

Had a good morning's flying this morning with Steve, Owen, Victor and JohnP. Weather started off perfect but the wind started to come up around 11am. Weekend is not looking promising but never know th...

Guess who has my loctite???? Yep, Kev decided to coat EVERYTHING on his helicopter with it. :)

I knew kev would bring this up again. :) I think you should begin your search around North Parramatta........:)

I may be able to join you in the morning. :) Will charge a few batteries tonight just in case. Will only bring my mustang down if I make it.

I nearly bought this when I was up in Brisbane but decided against it as I too have a few things in the pipeline. However, I have been looking at some plans for a scratchbuilt C17 Globemaster which I ...

Nice one kizza.........................;)

Here is some video I took of Jason's Flying Wing on Sunday. As you can see and hear it was pretty windy by the time he got it airbourne. Bungee launch was very successful if somewhat hairy...:) http:...

Here's a bit of fun for today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQL9Kxxd88s

when we had more than 3 people on line the voice chat became garbled and very hard to hear. I believe that I did hear you Ingo but not clearly and very intermittently. You may be correct about your gr...

yea I was flying around for a long time with about 6 people but think I was the only one talking. Suddenly everyone dropped out a phoenix crashed. I came straight back on and I was the only one onlin...

That's great mate. I'll try it out on my RF and see if it does the same. Are you up for a fly tonight? Thinking about 8pm start. Not sure if kev can make it tonight but let Chris know and of course an...

Hi Ingo, Yes the mic works great. Kev and I have had 3 sessions using them and never a problem. I could not make it last night but was online for about 3 hours on both Monday and Tuesday nights. Must ...

Sorry to have missed the maiden mate. Hope to see it next weekend

Thanks guys, saw kev tonight and he still sounds crook. Reckons he is well enough to go back to work tomorrow so we are hoping that he is on the road to recovery. Emily is still in hospital until at l...

Sounds like I missed a good weekend. Safely back in Sydney now. Got home around 2pm this afternoon. It's been a dramatic week for the Johnston's. Kev's step daughter Emily had her tonsils out on Monda...

Great work mate You're doing a sterling job .

While not ideal,at least we won't have to go To hong Kong or Batemans bay

Well that's the online flying done for me this week. Laptop needs to be fixed under warranty, so it will have to wait until I Get back to Sydney. At least I've got the iPad to browse the net and keep ...

I must have run over a chinaman..:( Had a good session tonight with kev and a couple of others Then shut down my laptop. Now the bloody thing won't start. Cannot detect a boot device. Looks like ...

anyone up for an online session?

thanks for that info kev. I believe to get additional planes in phoenix you have to request them and wait while phoenix creates them. They then come down as an update.

AHHH, Yes they seem to agree with me re the turbines. Good I feel better that it's not my system. I'll leave the turbines for when I use Real Flight and I'll fly something else in Phoenix.

Ok stopped for the night at motel in Glen Innes. Had a play of Phoenix on the laptop. All going ok even the T28 and Habu going much better. Can someone try something for me please? Will you select the...

After talking to gazz tonight at the committee meeting he suggested that I go into edit for the model and increase the kv of the motor. Well went into the edit /detailed area for the Habu but could no...

OK I've had a little more time to play with the sims and compare. First the good news. The dongle also works great with Real Flight. Using my JR PCM9X I had all 9 channels detected. Same for Phoenix. ...

Hi guys I got impatient and went to Castle Hill and bought the $40 dongle kit. Just been online with Dave for a few minutes trying it out. It's great but I'm having a little problem with the speed of ...

Easy Ingo, Just copy the link from the address bar at the top of your browser when you are viewing the Utube Video. Then paste into your reply

Looks cool mate. I'll miss the maiden as I'll be in Brisbane,hope she goes well.

Yes Dave I agree. Good catch with that driver problem too.

Replaced the motor. Original burned out because my mounting screws where 2mm too long and shortened the windings. :( Wattups up now shows 54A @ 710 Watts. Plane is pretty light so should go OK.

Sounds impressive. What motor do you have and how are you controlling the speed? That's probably the only way I'll ever be able to ride a bike now. :)

Love to be able to join you but unfortunately dongle still not arrived. :( Got email advising that it was dispatched on 15th so hope it arrives before next Thursday so that I can take it to Brisbane w...

I'm a plane guy myself but I did enjoy that footage. No wonder he came second in the world with those skills

Probably only Sunday for me this weekend too. Then I'll miss the next 2 weekends as I'll be in Brisbane. Have fixed the battery leads on the Mustang and the Vector X has a new Motor so hopefully we'll...

Still waiting on dongle arriving. Otherwise, hold me back:):):):)

Cool, will be great especially if located out our way. :)

Here is another clip for you. This time Darren is flying kev and my F16. Hope you enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlXb02VYRTc

Here is the first ill fated flight of Andrew's Spitfire with the new sound system installed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9TuKcAxHPk It surprisingly survived that crash and went on to fly anot...

Here is Darren's A380 for those who have not seen her fly. Looks great in the air and seems to have heaps of power. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7hXwmeQyIk

Failing that Chris, don't suppose you have any spare channels available on your rx? You could slave one as a second elevator channel.

Sorry to hear your news Mick. Hope you find something suitable very soon. Sim can wait you have much more important things on your mind. cheers

That's got to be the best landing of all time Drew. :) You have well and truely taken the "Tall Tower" award from me now. What with that and shooting down planes with rockets your fame is reaching far...

Once I get my dongle I'll be happy to host a session. Should be a lot of fun
