Soft cutoff ;) You'll know when its a Hard cut off! Guys you really should be setting timers for flight much shorter than your battery's capacity or they aren't gonna last long.

Yeah, I think we will have to make breakfast runs mandatory, I was feeling crud this arvo until I got some Macca's Coke into me ;) Good to hear about your Cessna Paul, You were flying it great up unt...

Great Day Flying until my motor popped on the Decathlon, Along the way I seem to have forgot that the motor was only rated at 45amps for 30secs and I was propping for 55! :oops: But! Look What I F...

Looks good mate and don't worry we'll get you flying eventually!

Now you see why its good to get used to "severely" underpowered planes ;)

50mm should be ok for the grass, Atleast you don't have to worry about prop strikes ;) Wether or not you rip them out will depend on how they're attached and at what angle you land... For EG. Nose in ...

What diameter are the wheels :?:

By the way, T28's are in stock right now at Kellett's. Tell Michael you are from Parramatta and he may do you a deal ;)

By the way, T28's are IN stock at Kelletts right now, better hurry if you want one!

The crappest, cheapest nastiest stuff that you can find! Any good stuff will rip off the paint. Also insert paper or doubled over tape where you can, I basically just used the sticky parts on the lead...

Thanks, all credit to Darren who found the way to airbrush cheaply and showed me how! The stickers are the original ones, very carefully peeled off and put on wax paper, The trick is to reapply them j...

All Finished!

Congrats and Happy Birthday dude, twas hard not to mention it over the last few weeks, especially when we had our "incident" ;)

04:42UTC is the time the frame was taken. In this case 4:42AM GMT or UK time. When you click on Doppler wind you will see colours which correspond to wind speeds down the bottom

Just a heads up that the new Sydney Wx radar is online!! This is great for us as its closer to the field and offers higher resolution images and doppler wind data!! You can find it here: http://www.bo...

Great news Mick, You'll really enjoy it, Even if you don't find a plane this week, charge up your DX7 and bring it to the field, I'm sure there will be something to buddy you on ;)

Nah, this is just 2-3 coats straight over the stock grey foam. The paint was waterbased gloss enamel and Floetrol to help it through the airbrush, I think Darren also added some isocol to get it to go...

Its supposed to be cherry red but yeah, the grey foam and dodgy job from me have dulled it a bit.

These beauties are awesome to fly, paintwork commenced today on mine: Wings will be done in the same colour. Also plan to replace the wheels with something slightly larger

Will be down tomorrow from 8ish, I believe Darren will be mowing. Cya there!!! Sunday is still tentative for me but I believe Chris will be down so the gate will be open.

The shaft adapter is used when you are using the motor shaft, if you are bolting the prop to the other end then you don't need to worry about it ;) Leave all the ESC settings at default although you m...

Very nice! Gonna have to get me an airbrush

Yeah, I think I'll no show on Sunday so will get there early saturday. Will target 8ish

Have fun at Temora, only a few weeks till I'm down there :) So who's flying when this weekend? The forecast looks promising, how many of you Fathers are we gonna see on Sunday ;)

Its looking good mate, why don't you get the nosewheel servo connected at least and do some ground thrust tests down at the field, if the current motor can sufficiently accelerate the airframe on the ...

I'll chuck some deans on them for ya and get em charged

Yeah, I should be home most of Tuesday evening, Just msn me :) Anyone else is welcome to come around during the week and grab your stuff if you need it asap.

Bahahahhaa, Great job with the drop hatch mate! Will be interesting to see how much drag it generates, you might want to limit its deployment to 30 or 40 degrees. The plane could literally fall out o...

All Better!!

Ummm.... Says it all really ;)

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUB4fpC7by8[/youtube] Its very hard to get into one with the T28 cos its so stable, you'll want to get very high and maybe have the battery a bit further back ...

I believe you can connect peer to peer or run your own server

What model is it?

Depends on your instructor, Some will ask you to do it, others will just watch for the competency over a number of flights (Like Darren)

G'day Mick, I definitely recommend the T28 Trojan, I maidened mine today without a fuss despite the stupidly gusty conditions which is a testament to the stable and responsive design (I should be a p...

Yeah, perhaps this afternoon, the forecast says it will calm down

They're around $120USD I believe, have emailed the local distie for more info

There are plans afoot for summer ;) I claim the endurance record for now with 29mins with the Stryker :P For speed, anyone wanna go halfsies? http://www.bushnell.com/products/other- ... un/101901 (h...

Very very nice! Are my maths right when a 12V 22amp battery should give 9-10 2200mAh 11.1V charges?

Yeah, there is a sql back end and I had a good think about automation but decided against it. If everyone posts as instructed it will really work well with my workflow.

Look at the Epson TW range, they have very good bang for buck. A few years back the TW1000 was the absolute best HD projector money could buy and it was cheap! Also: http://www.pricejapan.com (http://...

Don't forget to do it with 2 separate planes on 4 separate occasions!

Boooo :cry:

Um, as expected weather is not good, its already windy and rain is coming, perhaps tomorrow for me... *Fingers Crossed*

Well the forecast isn't great for this weekend, winds are forecast to make things miserable. I will be down there from 8:45 ish, if you're gonna fly, I'd suggest getting in early for the best chance a...

Nothing wrong with yanking and banking! Steve just needs to separate his aileron servo's and then we'll be able to work some differential into the setup and stop the thing swaying on a pole :)
