Hi All, I'm a new member of the group and so I just wanted to drop a message to say hi and to ask some advice, as it looks like this weekend down the field is out due to the wind and I won't be able t...

Hi All, Great news! Yesterday I picked up a nice shiney brand spanking new Spektrum DX7. From what I can tell from various phone calls to various Hobby Shops is that it was one of the last ones in the...

No can do right now, spent all my $$$'s on the DX7 (missus was none too happy either!). I've gotta save some more for the T28 which may take a few weeks cause i get paid fortnightly :( . Is ok thou...

Alas, work has kept me away from the field for the third weekend in a row :( :( :( . Did i miss anything exciting? With luck I'll be able to get there next weekend. Mick

Hi All, I had my first flight on Sunday, what a buzz!! Steve was kind enough to buddy up with me and let me have a go at his Island Hopper. After getting "3 mistakes high" he handed control over to m...

Thanks Chris, thats not a bad idea, a nice cheap Hopper to get me up in the air until I can afford the T-28. I figure I can get a stock one first then modify as cash/missus permits. How do they fly s...

Visibility is terrible today. Definatly not a good day for flying. Here is the view from the Cab of my train around 6 this morning as the sun was comming up!

Hi All I have some more Really Annoying Newbie Type Questions. This time to do with radios and in particular the Spektrum DX. If/When I buy my Island Hopper, I would want to use my DX7 as the transmi...

Steve, That is really fantastic information, thanks heaps. Just gotta work out exactly what I want and place the orders now Mick

Yeah, taken from the Sheds at Fleminton. My train was on the Brake Road and I was waiting to head out to Carlingford.

Terrible weather this morning! Doesnt make me feel too bad about not being able to make it down to the field today. Maybe tomorrow or Monday if anyone will be there Mick

Hi All T28'ers Just wondering what batteries are used/recommened for a Stock T28? I think my missus may be getting me a PNP version for my birthday later this month and I wanna get a couple of batteri...

That sounds really awesome. Wonder how much he'd charge us to cut out some planes? There are a bunch of sites on the internet for free rc plane planes. Here are some that found: http://www.willington...

I know a little about these things. If you can find out exactly what the file format is I may be able to find a way to make/convert/write what he needs. Mick

Hi Rob, Might take you up on your offer. I'm trying to get away over christmas but we need to replace a few things. Might be easier if I just list the links and see what happens: http://www.colemana...

Ok, sounds good if the weather co-operates. Let me know if we're on Mick

Thanks Kieran. The plane came with a 1800mah battery and a charger. I think I'd like to order a couple of the 2200mah ones in the next Hobby King order, maybe a charger as well. The missus kindly le...

That looks like a nice little Cessna. I'll have to check it out when it makes an appearance down at the field. Believe it or not I'm already thinking about my next plane as well!! Also, can anyone gi...

I took Steves advice and went and picked up a Jaycar Soldering Iron. Worked a treat. All plugs done but I think maybe I should have a look at the HK Deans plugs. The ones i got were about $10 from a h...
