Hi Guys, I've been coming down to the field for a few weeks now (although I didn't have a chance this weekend). It's great to find so much help and advice at the club and everyone's very friendly. I'm...

Back in Sydney again. Cold compared to Fiji! Probably pop down to the field tomorrow to say hello and watch some flying. Still haven't done any work on converting my Glider to brushless. Only attached...

Thanks for the fly of your Stryker today Kieren. I feel like I'm actually a member now that I've had a fly. It's nice to watch people's planes flying around, but the fun's in doing the flying yourself...

Ah well, I won't feel so bad about still not having a plane ready to fly. Will continue getting my Brushless Glider ready. Having purchased a new DX7 RC Kit this week & other bits, I now have everythi...

I just bought a DX7 for $519 at Onestophobbies on Victoria Rd Rydalmere. The only cheaper place I found is RCHobbies in liechhardt for $499, but they're out of stock (Like most shops) and don't know w...

Haven't been down to the field for the last 2 weekends and this weekend isn't looking promising as well due to Father's day Sunday and my boy's Soccor presentation Sat morning. Trying to finish my Bru...

I'm putting together my brushless glider and have bench run it's sk35-36 910 motor with 11x5.5 & 12x6 props. Still amazes me how much thrust these things produce. Just a couple of questions. The moto...

Thanks Kieren. Would like to pop down to the field but on call for work and just got a service call to go to Manly first thing in the morning. Don't like my chances.

I'll probably pop down to the field Saturday morning with my DX7 Transmitter at least. I brought my Brushless glider down last weekend for it's possible maiden but it was decided that it was too tail...

Didn't make it down to the field this weekend. Hope everyone had fun. Did some work on my Glider though. Paint job is almost done - just the underside of the wings to do and some touch up work to fix...

Thanks, I used good quality Masking Tape to get the sharp lines but it tended to pull up the previous paint a bit, even after allowing a few days drying. And the reds & blue curves (with masking tape)...

Thanks Paul, No hurry for those parts. I should be down the field next Sat Morning. I can pick them up then if you're there.

Nooooo!!! I'm never going to fly my Glider! Actually, I still need to glue some weight in the nose to get the balance forward. With swept wings I'm still not sure where the balance point should be bu...

Thanks Paul, I'll see you then. The motor's for my other (Nitro Power) plane. I might start that conversion project soon.

Cr#p! Was looking forward to finally getting my plane airbourne. Another weekend of of dodgy weather! Am going away overnight tomorrow. Might be able to sneak away for a short time tomorrow morning bu...

Just back from an overnight trip away. Popped down to the field around midday but sad to find no one around. Considered removing the prop from my Glider and doing some glide tests off the hill at the ...

Starting to rain here as well. Checked Rain Radar - lots of rain around. That's it for this weekend. Hope to see you guys next weekend.

Woo Hoo!! Finally maidened my Lark Glider. Once Darren had cleared airspace over the field, I gave the Lark a good chuck with Darren at the controls and some throttle to gracefully climb into the wid...

I'll be down around 8 or so as well. Also hoping for little or no wind.

Good Luck with your repairs Rob - and I was feeling a little sad about my little mishap with the bushes on my baseleg. Wasn't a good weekend for gliders - and others by the sound of it (wasn't down at...

Hey!!! You forgot: John J X 1 Glider. Admittedly it's just a dent in the leading edge of the wing & the plane's probably still airworthy. But it made a distinct & loud thud as it unexpectedly fell d...

On the subject of motor power... I don't have a wattmeter but I do have a Current Clamp meter - so I ran some tests myself. My Lark Glider has a Turnigy SK35-36 910KV motor with a 12X6 prop & pulls 26...

Steve, I built this Trainer in around 1983 so I don't have the original box or plans - normally I would keep the plans at least but it was a long time ago with several house moves in there as well. I ...

Yeah, Congrats as well on your new T28 Mick. I've also been toying around with the idea of a new Foamie (including the T28). I'm quite happy with my (heavier) but smooth flying Lark (powered) Glider t...

Thanks Paul, I'll think about it. Funny how you start out in this hobby and even while your still learning, you feel the need to keep buying more goodies!

Good that you sorted your elevators out Steve. Joining them together is probably the simplest way. Interesting the comments about separate servos to effect roll rate. That's exactly how most Jet Fight...

Sadly I wont make it down today either. Too many things on today. Should be down tomorrow morning instead. Kieren, I copped a bit of glare from the previous post, then realized it was your shiny Gold ...

Should be able to pop down to the field for a couple of hours at 11am. Weather looks good (although Hot). See you down there (whoever's going).

Shame about the damage - but you should'nt be offering it for sale. At least ask for more than 2 dollars! (Check Photo)

There is plenty of info online regarding building & design of RC aircraft; this link is particularly useful: http://adamone.rchomepage.com/cg_calc.htm (http://adamone.rchomepage.com/cg_calc.htm) for c...

Should be down for the socialising around midday. Will bring down my new Skyartec Cessna 182 Foamie. Probably only game to fly it if it's calm though.

Weather forecast for tomorrow (Sunday) is for possible light morning shower & light SW to SE winds & cloudy - sounds promising for flying. Very Happy with flying today - my Skyartec Cessna 182 was mai...

I'm also happy with Wednesday. Thanks for your efforts & insight.

Heading down to the field this morning around 9am, for about an hour, if anyone's interested. Walking in with my Lark again.

Just heading down to the field now (need to get organised next time & head down earlier). Looking a bit windy but I'll see how I go. Just taking the Lark which can handle a bit of wind. Will walk in f...

I'll be going down to the field tomorrow morning for an hour or so for a few flights. (I'm on Holidays for 4 weeks and planning to go flying every few days if I can). Probably down there around 9am. W...

I'm assuming that few if anyone would have ventured down to the field this morning in these soggy conditions. Tomorrow's looking about the same. Clearing rain on Monday - which is a public Holiday - d...

Weather Forecast for tomorrow is Rain & light to moderate SE to SW winds. I'll be heading down for a few hours in the morning - hopefully conditions will be OK.

Looks like the bulk of the rain has passed (looking at the Rain Radar at 9:30am), but as Rob mentioned, the field is probably a swamp, even if the rain does stop. :cry:

Hi Mick, I'm also on Holidays and have the same idea. I actually went down to the field a couple of times during last week. If it's not raining, I'll probably go down tomorrow morning around 8:30am fo...

I'll head down to the field Friday morning (Public Holiday) around 8 - 8:30am for a couple of hours. Hope to see you there and all the best for the New Year! Phase 2 of building shelves/benches in my ...

I'll be down around 8am or so. We've been away down the coast for the last week so I'm looking forward to some flights. My brother Tony is meeting me down there as well to have a look. He was also an ...

I'll be popping down to the field tomorrow morning from around 8:30am for an hour or 2 (weather permitting). Walking in with 1 or 2 planes in hand.

Was actually heading to Winston Hills shops after dinner so I stopped at the field at 7:30pm for a quick flight or 2 before it got dark. Ingo & Steve had already left - the gates were locked - so I st...

Hi Rob, I'm sure you're right - most people are good. I guess you hear so many negative stories about gangs and violence & such that you can feel nervous in some situations. Ingo - being able to conta...

Weather permitting I'll be heading down to the field Monday & Tuesday Afternoon around 5pm for an hour or 2. Wife & boy are away camping & I have the time free.

I didn't make it down to the field today but I'll be going down in the morning (Sunday). Sounds like a few people are also going down tomorrow. Might even maiden my California 28 (High Wing Balsa Trai...

The weather's pretty windy here at Silverwater too (work). I'm hoping it'll die down by the time I get home at 4:30pm. I did have tomorrow free as well but turns out I've got an appointment at around ...

Hope to see you there Chris/Ingo. Chris, how did your air to air Video go? I'd be interested to see footage of my Lark cruising around from an aerial perspective, if you managed to capture some glimps...

A bit of wind around Baulkham Hills. Just about to pop off to a doctor's appointment at 5:45 or so. Hopefully down at field 6:30 or so. Could be later though (you know how doctors can keep you waiting...
