Weather is looking good but probably going to be a bit chilly, Hopefully the field has dried up a bit

Field was a wee bit wet last weekend :D

I'll be down at the field tomorrow (Saturday) from 9ish. Probably going down on Sunday as well, hope to see you guys then.

Had a great day flying guys, I chucked some photo's up on the front page of the site. Looking forward to next week and maybe the Decathlon :D

Here are the checklists and guides that instructors use to assess & award Bronze & Gold wings. They are looking for your to competently complete these maneuvers with full control of the aircraft, You ...

Something you may or may not have realised is that cold weather like we are having is not good for our batteries, if possible, try to keep your batteries warm this winter! Cue discussion thread on RC...

It would end up landing like this, but probably a tad nastier ;) [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6suhk7hMNs[/youtube]

Looks awesome Kev, You're attempting stuff that still scares the bejesus out of me! The right side of the pictures are still there but the forum theme cut them off at 670px. But I've since rectified ...

Ok, so the weekend approaches, The rain can't have done much good for the field so I dunno if I'll be going down, Will see if Chris gets a chance to check it out.

Hmm, look what just turned up on the doorstep! Whatever shall I do with all of these? Or this junk?

After the rain this evening I doubt I will be down at the field in the morning, Those of you who had stuff in the last group buy may get a call and I will try to drop off your goodies. Will play it by...

Thought I'd chuck up a new vid that Darren recorded a few weeks ago, I had a bit of fun with the editing though ;) [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7O8LZZQWmA[/youtube]

I would pick the red over the blue, not that colours reeeeally matter whilst flying as your distance vision is greyscale and what you really want on your plane is some nice contrasting geometric shape...

I'll have to defer there, I've never done any covering myself and its probably one of the most daunting things in my mind: The iron's gotta be at the right temp, You gotta move at a certain speed, Too...

My Understanding is: 4100mAh battery at 1C(apacity) = 4.1amps A battery with a 25C dischage capacity means it can safely handle 25 times that so: 25x4.1 = 102.5 amps You aren't necessarily gonna pu...

Any plane will disappear in the sun! Everything will disappear somewhere: Blue in the sky... Green in the ground clutter... In my opinion, Red or Yellow with contrast is the best choice and I think th...

I think you're worried about putting a .35 spec'd motor on a .60 plane? Keep in mind that when they give those equivalents that they are only approximate and also account that they usually match to "...

Well this weekend is looking pretty good which is typical as I have a gig on Sunday which removes me from 2 days of flying action :( I'll be down the field on Saturday from 8:30ish. I believe we have...

G'day guys, Just a reminder that membership renewals were due by the end of the month. Attached is the form if you lost it. Renewal fee was: Senior Member - $199, or with email MAS newsletter - $18...

Looks like it rained a bit overnight. :( Still gonna head down, be there at around 8:30...

*Down at the field* Pit area and parking are dry, runway is still soft. When driving in, keep to the tree line and keep momentum up as it's a bit soft on approach ;)

Congratulations Chris!

I'm looking to Fly both days this weekend, Will be late on Sunday though. The forecast looks good but I think the wind may spoil our fun, if you get down there tomorrow and I'm not there its probably ...

G'day All, I'm looking to be down at the field both days depending on how wet it is after all the rain this week. I wont be there on Saturday till about 1030 - 1100 ish but I believe Darren will be d...

That is the best your going to get at that price bracket, I've had one since March and its served me very well thus far. Has a stack of features like USB logging and temp sensors. If you look at the ...

Had a change of plans, so I am down at the field now. It's pretty firm considering the rain we've been getting. About to drive down and see if the car damages the field. If you come in and see my car ...

Just got back from the field after a good days flying.... As I said, I got down there a bit early, it was still a bit foggy: So I posted that the field was all good but decided to test how good and...

G'day Tony, Your more than welcome to come down when the weather is good and have a chat on what to get and what not to get! Keep an eye on the "Flying this Weekend..." thread to see when we'll be do...

The Mirage picture is a bit misleading, It was a take off incident, basically speared into the soft mud quite deep then split the plane in two at the air intakes and very possibly repairable (Although...

You should post as much info as possible about the item you want to sell, add pictures, description of condition etc. MOST IMPORTANTLY DO NOT FORGET: Contact details so that people who want to purcha...

Hope you guys had a good weekend flying! I had a GREAT weekend watching jets zooming around the sky, Definitely see one in the distant distant future! FIrst off, I feel its important to gloat about my...

F14 is also my Hero fighter! After seeing Darren's F86, You would probably want to modify it a bit by using the largest wheels possible and building with a larger nose up attitude. You'd also need to ...

Back in Sydney! Will be down tomorrow from 9ish. Have HobbyKing goodies from last group order :D

A big thanks to everyone that helped out with the search for my Stryker on Sunday. I'll be doing a letter drop tomorrow with my details so fingers crossed if I can salvage anything or at least find ou...

Sadly my new Stryker went in today somewhere within that red arc, It was in a spiral dive from ~300ft and for some reason went uncontrollable. The subsequent ground search with everyone yielded no res...

Stryker Found!! Received an SMS this morning to pick it up before 9AM, It had dropped right within the "zone" but they hadn't noticed because they rarely go outside! Like any good Stryker should, i...

Colour me Green with Envy :mrgreen: ! Look good, Can't wait to see the Falcon & Toucano fly.

HK after this weekends attrition ;) In case you guys missed it, The Photo's from the Jet meet are up in our Gallery (http://www.parramatta.rcflyingclub.com/event-reports/)

The Panther looked sweet, Unfortunatley he was having troubles getting it to fly all of Saturday and only had it ready to go late Sunday, I waited the last 3hours just to see it! Not to discourage you...

I'll be down at the field tomorrow morning from around 9ish. I was down there on Thursday and it was still a bit wet underfoot so don't be surprised if we have closed off driving down to the field or ...

Don't worry about errant Electrafun's mate, its now wedged beautifully in the sky out of harms way! Can't wait to see the Trojan go :)

Moved this stuff here, For sale section is for "classifieds" for club members, for eg, Certain really cool, really fast airframes that you Accidentally ordered too many of ;)

Beautiful day flying folks, Good to be able to wring the cessna out but It fought me every step of the way! It just did not want to fly today! Great bounce back from the Stryker, Had a nice relaxing ...

Congrats guys, That would have been some climb Kev, sure you've fully sobered up yet mate ;)

Very nice, how much weight did you add with the coat? Not that it really matters with the ~1600g of thrust you have! :shock:

Or, just weigh the spare airframe! Needless to say, It will fly awesome and once you get your computer radio I bet you wont know how you ever flew before!!

Anyone got a steamroller? :evil: Or a Shotgun! :twisted: John and I visited the field today and sadly the runway has been rendered useless by the bike riders, they've pretty much torn up every avail...
