Awesome job, can't wait to see her go!

I've seen bricks with better glide ratio's, I love it! ;)

You can't ask for more in a Return to Home setup! ;)

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.

You're carrying around dead weight if you take 2 ESC's. The BEC in an ESC is the same as a standalone BEC. They're both basically switch mode power supplies

For something big, you just go for 7v lipo & High Voltage Servo's/Receivers and ditch the middle man so to speak!

Happy Birthday Gazz!

Happy Birthday Owen! Hope you're having a good one!

Lol, Happy Birthday Rob & Wayne! You guys enjoy your day but the countdown to the REAL AWESOME Birthday next week begins now!

Happy Birthday Steve!

Now Claudio remembered his shirt ;)

Awesome, Mind if I post em on the website?

I've added Wayne, I think I got his good side. :twisted:

I have made a standing offer to do their site up, seems they're not interested.

Receipts will be organised for any that need them should the MAAA cards not arrive.

No

I tuned off at $900

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

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)

[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 ...

Aw man, you beat me! I was gonna use that registration on a project, will have to change it to vh-omg now ;)

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

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 ...

Just keep in mind our MAAA insurance only covers us at flying fields however. Also fun to note our field is in a absolute no don't fly here zone! We are however cleared with CASA to fly there.

Yeah, just to further dilute your options, FRSky is on the same level as Futaba and a fraction of the cost. You need to have a module based radio or knowledge in electronics to get it working however....

I'm all for buying stuff overseas but the one thing you need to get in Australia is your radio, never mind that you need a C-Tick on it to be properly insured with MAAA. You want a local warranty ...

When you get into larger aircraft life Jets, you generally have a channel per control surface so the plane can be tuned perfectly. Take an F15 Eagle: Aileron L Aileron R Flap L Flap R Elevon L Elevon...

Hobbyking Sbus coming soon! Personally prefer multiple channels/signal paths of redundancy. I know of a few rc jets that have likely gone down from fried elevator servo cables.

Give me an unlimited 12v dc supply and an internet connection and our field will have all that.

We have to decide what we want. An ideal space for security cam would be within the tree line but that would compromise any AWS setup we have. We need a nice tall pole in an exposed area. I'm sure ...
