Turned 50 yesterday and thought about what would be an appropriate gift. My wife suggested a new computer or some other useful thing... Nah!! Another aircraft! I received a new Heli from Hobbies in ...

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...

Hi Guys, off on another topic here but my son Heath has featured in a Doritos Ad which has been entered in the "Crash The Superbowl" contest. Here's the link: https://www.doritos.com/base/submissions...

Damn... trying not to spend money, but too much of a bargain. Plus many of the blade parts are interchangeable with my 450x. (I also have an unfinished HK450). So I'll take it thanks Simon. Will c...

I have a 12V soldering iron that I soldered a XT60 plug onto the end so I can power it from 3S packs (Could be a chicken & egg scenario here! - obvious used another iron!). (You can also buy these iro...

And here's me looking at the weather forecast for tomorrow, thinking it's not too bad for flying. I don't suppose the field has been mown either! Amazing photos guys. Also never seen it that deep befo...

Me too, for 1 or 2 please. Thanks Santa! (Christmas in July?!)

Since I now have a (actually 2) decent high output supply, I ordered and just received a new 4 port 400w Turnigy Charger from the AUS warehouse. Thought about getting one of these for a while but ther...

I'll also grab 1 or 2 more please - my brother who is also into RC appreciated one I gave him. Thanks lots.

Jason, Pretty sure I've got a couple of the 1st type of charger - It was less amperage, around 60 or 70 and had the single fan. Couldn't find the thread about it, I can dig them out of the garage if y...

No problem Jason. I probably wont use them as I prefer the newer type which I use for charging Lipos. I'll dig them out. I probably wont make it to the field tomorrow so if you want them before next w...

OK, I'll do that.

Didn't go to the Williamtown Airshow myself, but here's a short video my brother took yesterday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dp5G7ivAYaM

I verbally said I was coming last weekend but forgot to post here. I'll try not to eat much (if allowed at all!) ?

Or you can go a little smaller and get this Blade 450 BNF from Hobbies in the Hills for $350. http://www.modelflight.com.au/products/Blade_450_3D_Helicopter_RTF_Mode_1-8733-60.html?gclid=CLaTuYHFga4CF...

Very good info Guys. I've also done some research on Lipos. I also try to keep to a few types of Lipos, shared between aircraft. I've also got a Quad charger (Plus my original single), so I can charge...

Could I have one too please if there are any left? I'll probably be coming down to the field Sunday morning if the weather is good. Thanks also.

Thanks also. I was a greedy guts and grabbed 3.

Not sure what I want or how much I need but could I please have: 4 X 6mm 2 X 3mm Thanks Drew.

I'm off to Canberra for a few days this weekend. I'll pick up my allocation some other time. Thanks Drew.

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...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH8Bef3_m-I&feature=mfu_in_order&list=ULWas in the area, so I stopped to see how flooded the field is with all of today's rain. These pictures tell the story.

It's been about 4 weeks since my DX7 died (still not repaired - have to get an update). I guess if it had to happen at least it's at a time when like everyone else, I wouldn't have gotten much flight ...

Thanks for the offer Gary. I'll get an update on repairs and get back to you. Aside from the weather, the timing is actually good as I also have a lot of work around the house to do in preparation for...

And I just got back my DX7 today! Actually it's morphed into a DX7se. OMP couldn't repair mine - they changed the board but the error persisted so they gave me another Radio, a later version I gather....

Yeah, thanks Gazza. Was thinking of popping down for a fly in the morning (weather depending). The freshly mown field will be much appreciated.

Actually you passed me as you turned off Windsor Rd at Kellyville and you did look tired... better put your feet up and have a beer. I'm watching the news with a Savignon Blanc myself.

Probably no need for a field inspection. Fair to assume it would be flooded again.

Maybe we can ask council to advise these contractors not to drive on the obviously mown runways. I can understand that not everyone is aware of our use of the field or see our signs, but I assume thes...

For a second then I thought you were going to say that you were going to take a spade to the Bikers heads! Oops, did I say that or was I thinking aloud?! Just joking of course. Typical though, A regul...

Down at the field for a few flights today. Have taken an RDO on my Birthday! Grass hasn't grown much. Still reasonably short and field is fairly dry. Just the usual damp patches on the runway. Might ...

Yeah, probably walk in... Just kidding, had a job at Mittagong today, had a bit of a play in the snow.

Definately wont be any hope of finding my $250 Pebble watch which I lost in the reeds while looking for my crashed Stinger EDF. (Lost 2 weeks ago before the big wet).

Hot, the next few days, then showers increasing Friday and into the weekend. Wait and see I guess.

Me Too! And they did it again yesterday! Good work guys.

No surprise here!

Pretty windy the next few days.

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...

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'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.
