Hmmm, decisions... I was gonna carbon fibre the leading edges of my new Stryker but I think I may go the route you guy's are going

Good news! The foam Parkzone uses IS supposedly stacks more stable than the usual stuff out of China. The consensus is that mileage varies considerably!

Ok, Who ordered up the Gale Force Winds????

My work area was a bit dark so I decided to brighten it with some HK Led strips. The entire setup is modular, running off your standard HK 12v psu, I expect it to hand grenade shortly ;) Lightmax P...

Its always funny when some clown puts a P160 on an airframe meant for for a P80 :D $3800 worth of Turbine, probably another $2000 in the airframe!! Everyone needs 16kg of thrust ;)

I see all these dad's not being able to fly on their day?? I thought the point was a day to do what you wanna do ;)

Prop Much? :wired:

Rob, see the Spektrum Group Orders thread up in the important threads section for cheap genuine Spektrum receivers. I will be placing an order soon if you want any. At this very present moment, there ...

Sweet, thanks very much mate

Me thinks you bollocksed that up good n proper!

Dunno when/if I'll make it down this weekend. Have fun guy's

It all comes down to how good (or crap in my case ;) ) your throw is. Edf's have bugger all torque but if you can consistently chuck the model into a decent flying speed then you'll be all good. It'll...

HK you are looking at $33 landed

HK Digital Metal Gears are your go to servo for anything fast: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=6314 I reckon a decent 70mm would be on the cards for any sort of per...

Turnigy 35-48A is > than all!

Yeah, I should be at the field on both days this weekend if the weather if good. For Saturday I'm looking at being there at least between 10 and 11 if you need to get stuff from me.

More than the plane is worth!!! Still an ok deal. Its not very big and a bit on the fragile side but an ok flyer (Victor has one). Looking at $35-$45 Shipping

Enjoy your 2000watts while it lasts. Thats all I can say for now ;) OMP = O'Reilly Model Products = Modelfight = Your Spektrum warranty providor

Its ok guy's luckily it was wifey's favorite plane so a replacement is all but ordered! (Not a Siren)

Your radio should be under warranty still? Send it back, OMP usually gets things done pretty quick. If your wheel WAS working, you'd be after Elevon

Sorry about your hand, hope it mends soon! The spare AIL is just a Mirror of the other AIL port, Like an internal Y-Lead. On a AR500, you can only plug it into Gear port and then use the "Gear" swit...

Wing type= Delta in your radio, servo's plug straight into ELE & AIL. If you just can't seem to get it working right with reversing etc, swap ports!

No wind, totally TX/RX related. I wish I at least dumb thumbed it on a high speed pass but noooo!

Miserable day for me! Sadly what goes up quick must come down quick: This was on the remaiden since the extensive repairs Darren & I performed to the nose. Went from a hand chuck straight up...

Just about in front of the finger holes is fine, the plane is not really CofG sensitive. You'll find that you can basically dial in the amount of desired "floatiness" by bringing the battery back. You...

I normally camp down there. In the past it was great cos the camping site was at the airfield. Now its in the local town's oval.

I'm using XT60's which is the yellow connector that HobbyKing ships with most their batteries now. They're a bit easier to solder than deans if the wire is thin.

Would be fun to put some lights on the Siren and see how many Blackhawks come and visit our field :D

They will be clones of the real thing, lots of discussion on RCG about them, lots of claims of dodgy QA and build. Probably as good as the real thing but you never know. Just grab em from HK for cheap...

Yep spewing about the date conflict! Anyone keen on a Avalon road trip next year ;)

Gary, thankyou for lending me some Fiber tissue. We used a single layer of that combined with Zap. Then a layer of Carbon Fibre (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=10...

Think of it as a weekend to get building that project that you've been putting off. Or build up brownie points for later ;)

Here is the warehouse in Taren Point, the wheels are turning!

No problems here either, I live on it! Make sure you are going to: http://www.HobbyKing.com Their other domains sometimes stop working.

Not THAT expensive, $2000US is quite cheap for a turbine but the size of that is much too big for a funjet, you need a smaller one which is more expensive!

I'm afraid the answer for your need for speed is here: http://www.kingtech-jet.com/

They closed it down! I was gonna ride it in 2008 but they'd already disassembled by then. Rollercoasters are my other passion, sadly we have no decent ones at all in Australia :( Millenium Force is on...

Ok guy's, yes it did rain last night so the field is probably damp, lets get down there and do the planned work atleast and evaluate from there?

Bashar, Please proved your full details (First/ Last name) in your profile as per the forum rules.

Another 500!

65:)

570 Left, You can see how many they have left here: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking_api.asp?id=12586&switch=1

Just ordered 5, if anyone misses out, I'll probably sell a few. --Edit-- 150 gone in 30 mins! They wont last the evening!

Try binding one up completely though and watch the amps go up. A hung servo can be very bad news.

Rob, I'd put em on the aux channel, then you can get all smart ass and mix in some differential thrust on the rudder, simulate engine outs etc.

Thats more like it :)

Very nice Richard, just a reminder that we are an electric only club, Your welcome to bring the 500 down anytime however.

I reckon it'd go well on 4S

Just chiming in, I'm running easily 800+ watts through my stock mount, the only modifications are slightly beefier screws through to a carbon spreader on the bottom

Yes, they're expecting a gearbox on an inrunner. Not something you want to bother with I recommend: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=4910 - 35-48A A 60amp or 80amp ...
