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

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

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

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

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

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...

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...

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

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

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

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...

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. :...

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

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...

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

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

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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

Very nice Kieran. She has come up really well. 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 cleaver chappie.................... :) Well done. Paul

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

Hi Guys, Just want to let everyone know that I've decided on the paint scheme that I'm going to apply to my funjet. As much as possible I'm going to re-create the NASA Space Shuttle. This will of co...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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

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

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...

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

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...

Yep Steve's correct. I've had enough of the GWS models especially this mustang. :evil: No more el cheapo models for me. It's true you get what you pay for. :) Only spend good money trying to improve...

Steve, What was the name of the material you got from Officeworks to make your decals for the funjet? Also how did you ensure that the colours did not run when you applied them to the model thanks Pa...

Thanks Steve, much appreciated. Here is another link for you with many pages of decal artwork. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=359029 When are you leaving for Hervey Bay? Paul

Looking good John I've got some parts from Hobby City for you. Are you in a hurry to get or will next weekend be ok? Don't know your address or I could drop off to you. Paul
