Thanks Steve, Looks like another building weekend then :(

I think if such notice comes from Council again it will go to Kevin Barnes our secretary. The last one actually went to John Considine who was our secretary before Kevin. I was just the bad bastard wh...

Just thought I would show off the latest edition to my hanger. It's a fibreglass fusealage with balsa wings 70mm Eflite model. Same power setup as the Parkzone Habu Don't think available in...

Is it for making a thrust tube? If so, you try one of these http://www.extremerc.com.au/estore/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=178_93

Hi Sujit, I doubt if you would find any members here who use Tamiya plugs on their batteries. They are more likely to be found on RC Cars. Most of us use XT60 plugs (male/female) which we buy from htt...

Hi guys good report as usual Dave. I see some of you are looking at the 50mm edf planes now. Don't know if you are aware but Mark at Extreme RC in Melbourne is also selling them. Here is is webpage. h...

Hi guys, Just be careful if you do go flying on the weekend. The slope down from the top gets very slipery after a lot of rain. You would not be the first to get stuck down there when you try to get b...

That's exactly the reason I have been getting you and other to throw my stang, especially when you upgrade the motor like I have. I've been carefully watching just what throttle setting I should use ...

Steve I have successfully under hand launched the stang when it was stock standard. As Gary says, it's all in the throttle position. My problems with the mustang are all related to upgrading the motor...

thanks steve, already got 1 on order to test :)

Well looks like the Saturday fliers had great weather today. Hope you all enjoyed your flying. I was planning on flying tomorrow but have decided that I better do the right thing seeing it's Mother's ...

I'm planning on being there on Sunday and possibly Monday too. Hope weather is fine.

Certainly we can put it on the agenda to discuss at our next committee meeting but I fear that Gary is correct, the chances of council agreeing to this request are not great.

I would caution against hand launching if you can't take off from ground, you just can't get enough airspeed over the flight surfaces. Best way is to bungee launch if it is low on power. Many a plane...

Kev is in Melbourne this weekend so I'm doing the soccer dad duties with Ryan.:) I won't be down Sat but hope to be down for awhile on Sunday

Well they have finally arrived. Kev's and my new Stumax EDF's for our Temora Jets. These babies will produce over 3000Watts 4.5Kg thrust running on 8s batteries. With that great "Turbine" like sound. ...

Couple of additional photos showing size comparison with the DeltaV Habu Fan/Motor combo.

So funny, You guys seem to have all the fun on the days I can't make it down.............:) See you all in the morning.

Steve there is another way of mounting that motor if you feel inclined. Just push the shaft through to the other end of the motor and you can then mount it directly onto the builtin plastic mount of t...

I believe our idea is to use 2 x 4s batteries. This way we can utalize existing batteries plus any future ones that we may buy for our F86 and Sapac Hawk.

thanks for that advice Dave. Pretty sure we will be real careful to keep the batteries compatable. As far as flying at our field is concerned, well as Kev says it's going to be a matter of seeing how...

Neither did I :(

Like many of you I too will not be down over the weekend either. Taking the time to do some major re-organising of my building area. Wife has been on my back for awhile now to get the mess out of sig...

All the best Mate Hope you have a good one.

Thanks will read closely.

Thanks for all the info guys. I'm thinking of 2 differt setups. First is my L39. I'll be using 2x4s (approx 10000mAh) batteries to power the Stumax EDF. Don't want to take any of that power and use f...

Hi Rob, Yes like Kieran I meant to comment on your earlier post. First off, thanks for investigating the venue your efforts are appreciated. For the committee to discuss this it would be helpful if yo...

Steve is that photo showing the edf in it's final position in the fuselage? Looks a long way from intake tube.

I think it will make a big difference. If you left it as is the fan would not be as efficient, at least that is what my research has showed up reading other edf discussions on rcgroups etc.

Yea steve you will definately get a better quality with the high speed card. Picture quality looked good when plane was stationery so this leads me to think that it will be nice and sharp with the new...

Nice steve. I will be doing something similar with the leds on my L39. Are you planning on maiden this weekend?

Thought I would do a build thread to show everyone how I go about rebuilding an old airframe. This is my old Parkzone P51 which has seen better days and after some very rough treatment I fibreglas...

Carefully peeled the glass off in sections. The original paint from Parkzone was sanded off before it's first glassing. The new paint(first repaint) has mostly come off with the glass but there are st...

Not original scheme but haven't decided on what yet. Want to see how the airframe come up after the work. If it comes up good then maybe I'll go for this. This will only be if I'm really happy ...

Shitty weather........................:( Can't see us getting any flying unless it improves dramaticly.

No mate it was another club(Penrith member) and it was stolen from his garage.

Lol thanks mate.

I don't like our chances again tomorrow. Bugger :( I guess that with so little time since that last drenching the field got this will result in large puddles again on the strip. Just hope the bike rid...

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

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...

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...

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

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

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

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...

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

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.

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

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

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.
