EDF's! HiModel have some EDF's that aren't available at HK at the moment. Of particular interest: http://www.himodel.com/plane/SAPAC_GlobalFly_EDF_70_Ducted_fan_W_2842-3200KV_Brushless_motor.html T...

Aaaand a good summary if you don't want to trawl through pages of forum posts: http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/05/aviation-geeks-scramble-to-i-d-osama-raids-mystery-copter/all/1

A concept mockup: I want to believe!!!! ;)

But why would a Drone need to land? Presumably they'd be using them for oversight and stand off fire support? I think the reports of stalling are mis-interpretations of getting caught in a vortex r...

It wasn't a A160T Hummingbird. Forum I'm on reckons it was a blackhawk with stealth bodykit. Tail is very different though

P-51 will fly from an under arm toss no sweat, just half throttle and a slight drop/nudge forwards is all it takes. Most Parkzone's will fly like that. Steve, Don't forget that I learnt to fly with a...

Zoooom! http://vimeo.com/20457487

There is a J-Power (Makers of the 50mm edf jets) equivalent just becoming available now that absolutely hauls ass on 4S. Also, you're better off emailing Model Engines/World Hobbies as they are the MP...

Niiice, I'll take 3 ;)

Have a look at the Hobbyzone Champ as an ok indoor plane.

Highly unlikely that they will let you fly the Stryker at PEMAC, they are very heavily noise restricted

G'day Martin, For the children to fly at our field on a regular basis, they will need to be members, There are childrens concessions available for MAAA membership and the club will do its best to acc...

Good report Dave! Absolutley gutted by the Stryker failing. For those that didn't get to see it fly, It had some massive control surfaces and huuuge throws. It was also quite tail heavy. This made f...

Your issue is that the motor mount is not that strong, if you swing a larger prop (2-blade) you will break it unless you have it 115% balanced. I speak from experience on this as I had the very same t...

Of course the weathers perfect, I have to go to church!

If you don't mind I'm gonna merge your threads into the build thread so it makes sense when people read it in 5 years time ;)

A big thanks to Gaz, David & Wayne for doing the grass. The field looks great!! Looking forward to some more flying over the weekend :)

My sisters graduation tomorrow so I'm taking the day off work to do the photography. If time permits I aim to join you guys in the morning.

I have my dongle enroute to give it a go. If it really is as good as you guys make it out to be I'll buy it!

Powerdirector used to be heaps buggy years back, would corrupt save files and crash out while rendering. A great way to waste a saturday arvo ;) Not sure what its like now. For file rendering, I u...

I'm sorry guys, I have not had a chance as yet. Although given the field condition today, that could change

Sorry guy's its my fault, I have a plane good to fly :(

There's plenty of Loctite on Kev's heli :tounge:

Whenever you update the firmware on any device, always reset it to factory defaults and re-enter your setttings. :thumbup:

For a first Balsa, definitely go an E-Flite. The extra money you pay will be worth it in getting a good kit that will go together well

Hobbyking have employed several aviation safety companies to help them with Lipo packaging. I can tell you they're certainly well packed nowadays. If there are more incidents, its highly unlikley that...

Looks great, Make me feel real bad that I have a Flybarless 450 build stalled. Must pull the finger out...

You want a comment? Already Pre-Ordered!!!! :twisted::twisted: As soon as I saw the letters "F-27Q" I actually added the PnP version to the cart and bought it! THEN I looked at the video and was go...

Am happy to give you a shell account to test with if you wanna give it a go. From there I'm sure we can work it into a header somewhere. Failing that, in a few weeks I should have a new vmware box up...

Awesome, I love your work! I take it you've been looking at Trappy's stuff ;)

I would just ditch the Y-Lead and use 2 separate channels on the receiver with a mix. Then slave that mix into the rudder ;)

I'm sorry I haven't as yet, been too flat out. I will submitting them all shortly though. Although you have not seen it in print, my endorsement is official.

Heh, You have to get up early in the morning to fool Ol' Man Murray ;)

In armidale on Saturday but hope to be back for flying on Sunday

Any feature requests while I'm at it? Will do my best to implement. No I can't install a sunny weather with no wind generator ;)

Over the next few days I will be making some changes to the way the club website/forum is hosted. This is a direct result of a security breach at the clubs webhost which resulted in some page code ...

Back to belt driven tail though? :(

Short beeps like that sound like an unprogrammed throttle range on the ESC. To Program: -Remove prop in case of unwanted motor spin up! -Have radio on and throttle all the way UP! -Connect battery -W...

I guess we're all flying at Blacktown this weekend ;)

The idea was to publish the field for everyone to share eventually but if you guys want me to move it I will till we're closer to a finished/polished product.

Darren has a servo programmer for Hitec's Might be worth sticking a 929 into it and see if there is any sort of programming standard that they stick to.

Wont make it this weekend, Have fun guys

Awesome!!!! Me wanteee Deal Extreme have wireless Speedo's for cheap

It's about to get very interesting! http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16610&PN=1 Long story short: As part of Hobbyking's expansion we will be opening our first ret...

Looking for a volunteer to take on group orders for a month or three, I'm absolutely burnt out at the moment with work and can't afford the time or the expense to keep these going at the moment. Will...

Heh, wait till you put your new motor in it, You quickly go from gee this is light to farrrk this would hurt! (If it hit me)
