Yeps, both Bunnings & Jaycar have aluminium cases that we commonly use for carrying transmitters around in. I just bought one!

Bunnings

GET IN!!

One wonders what was in the run off from upstream :paranoid:

Very nice! Keen to see how it balances out considering the size of the intended motor. Might have to swing a Tungsten prop ;)

I've run out of range with both Orange & Genuine Spektrum Park rx's at approximately the same range. BUT If I were to weigh up crash's caused by rx lockouts, I've had 2 Spektrum crashes vs 0 Orange ...

Just a note that Paul has NOT stolen his radio, he has the exact same setup.

Yeah, Would love to know how you strip paint off z-foam without it going furry

Steve, get a brushed speed controller and run the led's through that. That will dim the led's on low throttle and glow brighter on full throttle. Then all you need is a mini water tank to spray atomis...

Moved to general forum, this is not a for sale thread.

Sorry mate, I meant to comment the other day. I think its a good idea in theory but there might be a few setbacks: - Moving building offsite could be tough, who brings the tools? Power tools? What if ...

How many you want, I'll do a group order tonight

Servo's instock go go go! http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=6314

I always wondered if a 3s 2200 would pull it off! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w_K08fwZnA Something to keep in mind if you're ever stuck with a flat!

They're ok, definitley see if you can source some digitals though, will make getting a plane with that many servos much easier to setup/trim. I wouldn't risk gws props, have a look around the net f...

Time to dust off those model boxes that you've been keeping aside for a rainy day... Oh crap, I just sold all mine!!

I'm Set!

See you in the Summer boys! :paranoid:

Happy Birthday Gazz!

Well you'll have a bit of time to practice, He's currently touring Europe and wont be back till September. Will chase it up then!

Thrust is definitely up around there, Easier to hold back a Jetcat P120 at full tilt than the Porter!

Music Shop?? :tounge: Sorry I couldn't resist! Seriously though, maybe give a piano tuner a call and see if he has any scrap.

Nooo, The old web address!!! Just threw up a proper redirect for anyone that decides to visit. --- Well done to Kevin for writing the report and for everyone that contributed on the day. :)

I would happily donate a motor esc & servo's to a club plane, You buggers can build it though, I'm only a half decent pilot cos I can't afford to crash and rebuild

Heh, Darren & I noticed last night as well. If they sell Kingtech, I'm all for it. If it's Jet Joe, then I'll say thanks but no thanks.

Yeah the remaining wreckage is the tail rotor, I reckon the heli came down across the wall and sheared the tail off. Since they didn't leave the compound on foot, could never torch the tail. More fue...
